A Must Have Vendor!
•Verified review
•Skylar B.•Sep 14
Marty is the best DJ ever!! He is such an amazing guy, he kept the hype up all night and made sure we had thought of every detail while planning so he knew exactly how to help all day! Audio and mics were amazing during the ceremony and don’t even get me started on the vibe of the party!! The best night of my life! I hope we get another excuse to party together again! HIGHLY recommend for any event but especially weddings!
Incredible Experience with Marty

Marty was absolutely fantastic - the star of the show as far as our vendors for the wedding. He's not just a DJ but a MC as well and was extremely prepared. He helped ensure our big day went smoothly from start to finish and then brought the heat on the dance floor. His software platform was incredibly easy to use and allowed us to input both songs and "vibes" that we wanted for the dance floor. Everyone raved about how much fun it was after. Can't thank Marty enough for all he did. We may have to renew the vows again next year as an excuse to have another party! Can't recommend enough.

Almost 4 months married and our friends still ask us about the best DJ ever, Marty Nightingale!! Marty is the best! We can't imagine our wedding day without Marty DJ'ing and MC'ing our event. He handled all audio from welcome drinks, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and nailed it at every stage. He set the vibe for each phase of the evening, and when it is time to dance, he brings the energy and gets the crowd going. He's great at reading the room and giving the dance floor what it needs. Besides throwing an amazing party, Marty was awesome to work with. He's personable and thorough. He was very attentive throughout the whole planning process and together we prepared everything from the general flow and vibe of the night down to the smaller details. He let us be involved as much or as little as we wanted. We don't know of a better wedding DJ. Maybe we're biased because he was our wedding DJ, but we don't think so. Marty is THE guy for your wedding!

THANK YOU Ryan! You & Hannah were so much fun to work with, and you could really feel the love in that room. The energy was amazing.. we could've kept that dance floor going all night haha! Thank you again for trusting me as your wedding DJ, especially knowing how important the dancing/party was for you two; it was such an honor to be a part of this incredible celebration at The Firehouse in Goldsboro, NC. Cheers Ryan!! ;)

Best DJ ever! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience than we had with Marty. His communication was great from the start, he understood exactly what we wanted with our music and kept the dance floor going all night. As a bride who does not dance, I know it was extra hard to keep the dance floor bumping but Marty did!
Response from vendor•Jun 29, 2025
Thank you so much Erica! It was such a fun time helping you at Matt celebrate with everyone at Carolina Grove in Hillsborough, NC! After dancing all night, I think we can officially say you're a bride that dances ;) Cheers, Marty Nightengale

Yes! You can be as specific or open as you'd like about your music preferences. I'm here to make this perfect for what you and your guests like.

I have an amazing app called Vibo that lets you easily import music from your own playlists (Spotify, Apple, Amazon, Youtube), make specific song requests, view my recommended playlists to get ideas, and fill in wedding info so it's all in one place. Plus you can even invite your guests to make song requests on the app before the wedding.

I use wireless speakers that can be placed anywhere, and I use wireless lapel mini microphones for the officiant, and couples vows & guest readings. My speakers are waterproof and I'm not afraid of a little rain! My rule is "if you can stand outside in it, so can I".

Good sound equipment makes people want to dance more and I use top-quality sound equipment from RCF that immerses you in sound at any volume; you've haven't heard music sound this good before! For lighting I use modern tube/bar lights that are wireless so they can be placed anywhere, they're bright enough to make a party vibe but unlike traditional lighting they don't blind people or ruin the photos during the event. I also offer room up-lighting to enhance the look of any venue by coloring the walls with colored light. I have examples of these in my profile "Photos & Videos" section.

Yes! I always setup a wireless microphone to use for any toasts/speeches.

I perform weddings in NC, VA, & SC. I charge a travel fee for weddings outside of the Raleigh-Chapel Hill-Durham areas of NC. Contact me with your wedding location & date for an accurate pricing estimate.

I customize the music to match the client and the event. I'm completely comfortable with a wide variety of music; Pop, Rap/Hip-Hop, Rock, EDM, Country, Latin, R&B, Motown, Funk, modern hits, early 2000's, 90's, 80's, 70's, etc. When it's dance time I do real DJ transitions to keep the dance floor energy going and I read the crowd to match the music to the event & guests. You deserve more than a budget Spotify DJ that doesn't care if your guests leave and the dance floor is empty. I'm also well versed in non-dance music for the times when you need good music at a non-dance energy for cocktail hour, dinner, or a welcome party.

Let me know your date & location, then I'll give you a pricing quote and answer any questions you have. If you'd like to move forward with booking I'll send you a contract to look over and e-sign. Then a 50% deposit is due within 30 days, I accept most major forms of payment like credit card, Zelle, Venmo, Paypal, Cash App, ACH transfer, and a mailed check. After I receive the deposit you're all set! I'll reach out to setup a time to chat on a phone call or video call to start getting a feel on your wedding vibe.

Room Up-lighting is a set of wireless lights that are placed on the floor and shoot a soft beam of colored light up the wall. I control these lights to match my dance floor lighting and can change them from a soft color during dinner and then changing along with the music colors during dancing. This is a great and inexpensive way to decorate a venue and really makes the room feel like a party. I have examples of these in my profile "Photos & Videos" section.
