A Bride’s DJ - North Carolina

5.0

Asheville, NC
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,495

Diana and Robby, Owners of A Bride’s DJ, feel especially qualified because they both like to celebrate more than the average human. Robby is willing to wear a costume for any reason. Having a themed event? He has dressed up & made announcements like a pirate. Arrr! We have a small team of DJs who have each performed at 100 to 1500 weddings. Our DJs extensive experience & training ensures a smooth planning experience for clients, excelling in communication, are ego-free (so you get what YOU want), detail-oriented, and most importantly…they actually mix the music.

I got married in August 2023, and I was hesitant to hire a DJ because my fiancé and I had such specific music requests. Basically, we knew the exact songs we wanted played at our wedding, but we really wanted someone to help mix the songs, help MC the night, and just generally keep the vibe going all night. And wow was A Bride’s DJ absolutely perfect! I first spoke to Diana, and she was incredibly helpful, responsive, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. She made us feel so comfortable and easily answered all of our questions. And Robby was absolutely fantastic too! He never made us feel like our niche request was a bad idea. In fact, he made us feel like we were in perfectly capable hands, and he was right! Robby mixed our music perfectly and did such a wonderful job keeping the energy high during our whole wedding. He even came up to me at the end of the night and asked if there were any other songs I wanted played, which was such a thoughtful gesture and goes to show how great A Bride’s DJ is to work with. If you are looking for a top-notch DJ in the Asheville, NC area, I truly can’t recommend Diana, Robby, and A Bride’s DJ enough!

Words cannot express how grateful we are for Holly and Paige and all of the hard work they put into making our wedding the perfect night. They had so much flexibility with the rain and all of the schedule changes. They also created a super fun, inclusive environment for all of our guests. They didn’t just bring the music, they brought the party! We had so many people come up to us and give us compliments about the music and their work. We heard more than once during the evening that it was the best music experience that folks had seen at a wedding and even our venue said it was one of the best music performances they had on their property. They will always be our number one DJ recommendation to others!

Luxury Harpist - Tori Parrish

5.0

Asheville, NC
  • Solo performer

I am a classical harpist with over twenty years of experience, and I love working with couples to add a magical touch to their special day. I have a full repertoire of classical and romantic music, and I arrange my own medleys and popular music as well! I have performed in weddings in North Carolina, California and Tennessee and with the Stanford Symphony Orchestra and the American Youth Harp Ensemble. Some of my favorite performances were touring renowned concert halls in Austria including St. Peter's Cathedral and Melk Abbey. Now, I'm based in Asheville, NC and work with students of all ages sharing the joys of the harp.

Awarded Best of Zola
I knew I really wanted harp music to accompany my wedding ceremony, and as I searched for a harpist, I listened to sample pieces by a few different musicians. Tori’s style was exactly what I was looking for - the beautiful, lilting, classic sound you hear in your head when you think of harp music. I contacted her and we were immediately able to connect to talk about a date, possible music selections, and the booking process. Tori’s communication was thorough yet simple, so even though I didn’t have a wedding planner, I easily understood what I needed to do and when, what I was getting, and how things would work leading up to and including the day of the event. I ended up being a lot more selective on music choices than I thought I would be, and Tori was happy to accommodate all of my requests! Her repertoire is extensive. She even arranged a custom piece for us that was a very special, personal addition to our wedding day. Everything was picture perfect on the day of our outdoor ceremony. All of our guests were super impressed by the live harp music. They said it was so lovely, I wish I had been able to sit and enjoy the prelude with them! In addition to providing the perfect sound, both Tori and the harp were a visually stunning addition to our ceremony. Book her - you and your guests will be in for a treat!

We also added the digital photobooth to our package, and have no regrets! The photobooth was a blast and it's been so fun for all of our guests to have the digital images.

Sound Explosion Mobile DJ Experience

4.0

Asheville, NC
  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,000

The Sound Explosion Team knows that you are working diligently to plan for one of the most memorable days in your life. We also understand that you want to ensure that details are seamless and that the wedding ceremony music and reception entertainment are top-notch.

The couple is SUPER sweet and nice to work with! They made sure to set up several appointments to chat on the phone and get an idea of what we wanted for our special day. They sent out a timeline of all events/songs that would be played throughout the day. After some tweaking, everything seemed perfect! Overall the night was great and the music we wanted was played! The flow of the night was off, but that could be because our wedding coordinator had to cancel the Wednesday before the wedding due to COVID. If I was to do it over, I would love to have the DJ at the rehearsal the night before so they can practice with us all aspect of the night. Especially the introductions to the reception, where we seemed to have our hiccup. At the end of the day we got everything we asked for and the price was very reasonable!
