Signature Djs

5.0

Toano, VA

DJ
Starts at $1,295
Serves Petersburg, VA

Signature DJs is owned and managed by Brandon Frazier, aka "DJ House". In creating Signature DJs, Brandon recruited a team of professional and experienced DJs and event planners available to meet and exceed all of your needs. During your initial consultation Brandon will match you with the best options based on your preferences and event type. We also offer so many different options to personalize your wedding and make the experience unique for you and your guests. We have lighting, special effects, and even licensed pyrotechnicians on our team that can provide professional fireworks displays to end your night with a BANG!

“We booked the Signed Sealed Delivered package and Brandon and Kellie exceeded expectations from planning to execution. While they came as a package deal, they each deserve their own review for their excellent work. Brandon from Signature DJs provided the best possible wedding DJ service. In planning the event, he was organized and thorough in working with us on the song list and order of events which he would be emceeing. Yet he took much of the burden off our shoulders by applying extensive experience and was flexible during the event in response to guests’ musical needs. The sound system quality was remarkable. He miked our ceremony, in which there were no sound issues, including the officiant, bride, groom, and a quartet in an expansive indoor space. The sound in the reception was also crisp and voluminous without preventing conversation – a difficult achievement. Complementary to the sound, Brandon provided “up lighting,” the maximum units of which we opted for. I recommend this choice because the lighting significantly supported the festive atmosphere to an extent I did not anticipate, though I trusted Brandon’s assertion that they would. Throughout the reception, Brandon monitored and responded to the energy of the dance floor to keep the party going all the way through the end of our time. He also provided a photo booth with an extensive set of props, which was a big hit with our guests, and which was of impressive, current technology. Finally, and this is the most memorable contribution, during the toasts to the bride and groom, Brandon interjected with a musical complement to a speech, which was perfectly humorous and elevating of the moment. Such an action could easily be detrimental, but Brandon’s judgement and awareness created a memory I will forever treasure. Concurrently, day-of coordinator Kellie was organized, knowledgeable, and delivers 100%. Here are some of the reasons why I highly recommend her. First, Kellie was super organized from the start. She set up a personal website for tracking to-do items and sent reminder emails to keep me on track with planning. She also helped me devise a precise wedding day timeline, reviewed my contracts with other vendors to confirm timing, and coordinated with them as a primary point of contact. She attended my final venue walkthrough and ceremony rehearsal to ensure everything was in order. Secondly, Kellie was very knowledgeable and had an answer for every question or issue. She identified issues I hadn’t considered and gave me advice and suggestions. She also had a great eye for detail and made sure everything looked perfect on the day. She texted me pictures of changes she made for my approval. She was always one step ahead of any problem and handled it before I noticed. Finally, Kellie delivered 100% on the day of the wedding. She showed up on time and immediately took over all setup and vendor instruction. She made sure everything ran smoothly and according to the timeline. She took care of the cleanup and packing at the end of the night. She moved my decoration pieces, cards, gifts, and photo guest book (already filled with the photobooth prints) to my hotel room and displayed them beautifully on a table. I was able to enjoy every moment of my wedding day without stress thanks to her. In summary, hiring Signature DJs Brandon and Kellie was the best decision I made for my wedding day. They went above and beyond what I expected. I cannot imagine better service.”

Marty Nightengale - DJ. Musician. MC.

Chapel Hill, NC

DJ
Starts at $1,200
Serves Petersburg, VA

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.

“Marty was absolutely awesome to work with. I am a comedian and I was hired to perform at a corporate event celebrating 15 years of success. My job was to roast the owners of the company. I had come up with with a way to close my act by tricking one of the owners to come up and sing his favorite karaoke song. It was going to be the perfect closing bit. But, the son of a gun stole the mic in the middle of the night and sang the song before I even got to perform! Marty and I had already worked out the whole thing by phone before I even got there! So then I thought of another important song in the owner's life, but I knew he wouldn't know this one that well. So I had Marty play this instead. His timing was perfect. He waited for my cue and then hit the guy by surprise with the song. And when it was definitely time for this charade end, Marty brought the owner out of it with his dignity in tact. I've worked a lot of events like these and I've worked with a lot of DJs. This is the first time I've ever felt compelled to write a review. Marty just gets it and he went above and beyond, and was thrilled to help me make my part of the show better. Plenty of times DJs just doesn't care. He or she is there to do their part and they're not going that far out of their way to make your life better. But Marty was different. He helped me make something go from good to great, and I can only hope to walk into another gig like that in the future and find Marty spinning tunes behind the turntables.”

OBEHI THE DJ

Charlotte, NC

DJ
Serves Petersburg, VA

Welcome! My name is Obehi (obey). I'm a Nigerian-born American. God has blessed me with many opportunities to be a full-time DJ. I take very seriously the nearly 200 weddings I've had the privilege of being a part of. I hope this curated page can show you and your family that I will give 110% of my talent and personality to aid in making your night one to remember.

“Finding the right DJ was one of the most important things for my fiancé and I when we were planning our wedding. We stumbled across a video on social media of Obehi at a wedding absolutely rocking out with his clients and their guests and we were immediately sold. From the very first phone call, we knew we had made the right choice. Obehi was open, honest, and deeply cared about making sure he was providing us with an exceptional DJ experience at our wedding! He answered questions when we needed him and he truly took the time to get to know us as a couple to ensure that the music he was playing matched us and our vibe. Our wedding was nothing short of perfect and Obehi played a huge role in the that! He played every song that was requested by us as a couple, our guests, and beyond. He interacted with us personally, with our guests, and even made sure to join us on the dance floor! Obehi is more than just a DJ...he's an MC, some comic relief in a stressful moment, and now a forever friend! If you are looking for a DJ for your special day, I cannot recommend Obehi enough!”
