Marty was such a delight to work with! He brought so much positive energetic energy to the planning meetings and literally had everything we needed before we even knew we needed it. That energy he brought to the planning meetings he brought to the dance floor x10. We definitely had a mix of songs from a lot of different genres and he worked his magic and somehow mashed them all together perfectly! If you're looking for a DJ that always brings the best vibes, you should go with Marty!
Amazing DJ

Marty Nightengale was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. From our first interaction, his communication style was excellent - he was flexible, upbeat, and truly listened to understand our vision for the night. When it came to the quality of his work, Marty delivered a truly unique and personalized experience that was full of energy. He was so kind and really made our special day magical with his infectious enthusiasm. Marty went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, and we genuinely appreciate how much care and attention he devoted to making our wedding celebration unforgettable. We would highly recommend Marty Nightengale to any couple looking for an amazing DJ and emcee to bring their wedding to life.

Marty was a PHENOMENAL DJ for my recent North Carolina wedding. His friendliness, attention to detail and flexibility to our musical preferences all stood out in both our initial meeting and the reception party. Not only was he well-organized in how to build out his playlists for the reception alongside our input, but his audio setup worked perfectly for the ceremony and provided great sound for every step of the day. Some of the best value possible if you're in the market for a DJ...and it's because Marty goes above and beyond in all aspects!
Response from vendor•Nov 4, 2025
Thank you!! As long as I live I will be telling people about how you surprised me with a box donuts from my favorite NY donut shop! You two are the absolute best, and it was amazing to see how much your crew loves you both. Plus, the owner of The Hartwood said she couldn't believe that dance floor was packed for 3 hours straight.. you all brought the best energy and I'm so grateful to have been a part of celebrating the life you've built together! ;) Cheers!

Marty Nightengale - DJ. MC. Entertainer. was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, he was responsive, advocated for our vision, and was incredibly kind throughout the entire planning process. On the day of, he did a fantastic job reading the room and playing songs that kept the dance floor packed, while also sticking closely to the playlist we had provided ahead of time. Marty worked seamlessly with our other vendors to ensure the day ran smoothly, and his professionalism and energy helped make our wedding day truly special. We couldn't recommend Marty highly enough for any couple looking for an amazing DJ and MC to bring their wedding to life.

Thanks Abigail! You and Andy are such a sweet couple and I was so happy to help make the day exactly what you were looking for! Plus, choosing the Glass Hill Venue in the Fall was absolutely gorgeous; I didn't realize how incredible Lynchburg, VA is this time of year!! I'm sure those photos are going to looking stunning. Cheers to adding "wedding anniversary" to your Fall-fun list, right next to your yearly Gilmore Girls marathon.. that I think Andy secretly loves ;)

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.
