We hired Signature DJ's to be the DJ at our wedding and are so happy that we did. Brandon was amazing to work with, very knowledgeable about his craft, extremely personable and fun to talk to, and very talented at what he does. We had so many comments from guests that they loved the DJ and some people said it was the most fun dance floor at a wedding they had ever seen. He kept it hype while also not playing anything explicit (at our request). He went above and beyond by bringing LED foam sticks due to unforeseen rain as a back up for our sparkler exit. We did not even ask him to do that but he did it anyway because he is amazing! I would recommend Brandon to anyone looking for a DJ in the area. Thank you for making our wedding incredible!

Jeremy was the DJ for my wedding in March 2022. He was so professional throughout the entire process. Despite the fact that we were working off of virtual communication due to distance/Covid, Jeremy absolutely nailed every piece of the reception! Our entrances and first dance were just as I envisioned. Jeremy's amazing music list kept everyone on the dance floor until our last dance. I can't recommend Jamz Events and Jeremy enough!!

Bill Carroll was more than a DJ at my mom's wedding. He genuinely cared about my mom's wishes and made it clear he wanted her to have the best wedding ever. It's like he became a member of our family leading up to and during the wedding. He made the entire process SO easy. When it came to the actual wedding day, everything went off without a hitch. My favorite part was when everyone left to line up and send off my mom and her new hubby, he played one final song for just the two of them to dance to, by themselves, on the dance floor. It was so incredibly touching. I can't recommend him enough. Absolute stand up guy and a DJ who knows what he's doing! Everyone had a blast. We love you, Bill Carroll!

I can not say enough about Alexandra. She is the best. She is accommodating and flexible. I was the mother of the groom and was allowed to do the music for the bride. The venue changed three times and Alexandra was always gracious and accommodating to us. Nothing fazed her. And she played amazing and the music was beautiful. Like I said I can not say enough good things about her except you will love her if she plays for your wedding. She did all the wedding music and an hour for the reception!

We had a very specific vision for the type of music we wanted played during our ceremony and cocktail hour at our wedding this past August (2023). We spoke to many vendors, and no one got it quite like The Hook Club (THC) did. Dan, Adam and the team MORE than delivered. Our only regret is that we did not get professional video coverage to be able to relive the moments! As we were planning our wedding, we were on a quest to find a NYC-based string trio that could play modern music in an elegant fashion. Our goal was to find a group that could perform the type and quality of music heard on West World, Bridgerton, or from the Vitamin String Quartet. The Hook Club was just what we were looking for. The second we spoke to Dan, we knew we found our perfect match. I also wanted a specific/bespoke song for me to walk down the aisle to. THC took what was in my head and made it a reality. I still get goosebumps when I think about it! THC took the time to understand our needs and delivered far beyond our expectations. They are true professionals who were one of the most talented, pleasant, responsive, communicative and accommodating vendors we got the privilege to work with. We cannot recommend them enough and are already clamoring for an opportunity to work with them again.

Marty Nightengale - DJ. Musician. MC.

5.0

Chapel Hill, NC
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Portsmouth, VA for additional fees

Your event deserves the best music professional! I know planning an event and choosing a DJ can be a lot; let me make the music the easiest part for you. I’ve been making memorable experiences since 2007; where I shine is matching the music to your vibe while also reading the room, using real DJ transitions to keep the dance floor energy up, working with vendors to keep the event running smoothly, interacting with the crowd, and customizing what I do for each client to create an authentic celebration that brings you and your guests together. Whether it's a wedding, corporate event, or private party; I've got you covered.

20 out of 10!!! Marty was the best!!! We have been to a few weddings and really thought that on our wedding day we want someone who looks like he is happy doing what he is doing, we searched and looked on so many DJs in the area and Marty really stood out!!! We wanted live music for our first dance and he delivered!!! From the planning stage to the wedding day he really communicated well!! We couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you for the energy Marty and for making our wedding night the best party we have been to. Thank you for the great music selection and for keeping our guests in the dance floor. If you need someone who can make your crowd dance, who gives off positive energy and who can cope up on same day changes, Marty is the guy you need!!!
