We hired Darby to DJ for our wedding and the main thing we wanted was to have a huge party with all our guest dancing on the dance floor! Darby didn't disappoint and maintained an energetic feeling through out the entire night. Our guest continue to rave about that night and the music is always one of the main highlights. We truly appreciate having Darby a part of our special day and the process of working with him is so simple and easy. High recommend him for your event! -

Phenomenal
I can't rave about Stephen enough!! We came to Stephen with specific requests to figure out how to manage our very specific music taste while being able to incorporate every generation of guests. He also knew how to manage our ceremony music, according to our order of events and adjusted on the fly. Not only did he deliver, he EXCELLED. Every age was out on the dance floor from the beginning to the very end. We were constantly having "NO WAY"/mind-blowing responses when he played a new song. You know the music is good when three guests are asking for business cards at the end of the night, and two aren't even getting married anytime soon, but wanted for when the time comes. I have been trying to figure out ways to get Stephen back into our lives post-wedding. He was the most worth-it vendor and one of my absolute highlights. Please see pictures below to see the music energy stephen brought! -

The vibes at our wedding were perfect thanks to Darby events! The oldest people in the room were dancing up a storm and absolutely thrilled, alongside everyone in their 20s. There was a perfect mix of old and new and there wasn’t a moment of the night where the dance floor was empty. Best dj ever -

It has been 3 weeks since my wedding passed and now that the smoke has settled one thing that does not slip my mind was the atmosphere provided by my DJ. DJ darby brought the noise and was absolutely key in reading the crowd and constantly reacting to adjust the vibe they demanded on the dance floor. If you want great service and music at your wedding that is tailored to your interests, I recommend DJ Darby. -

WOW is all I can say! Stephen knows how to start a party and keep it going. He knew exactly what songs to play and keep my guests entertained. And his piano incorporation? Nothing like I've ever seen before. He is truly gifted and you won't be disappointed! -

We were so fortunate to have Stephen from Darby Events at our wedding and there is simply not a better option for entertainment in Charleston. My brother owns talent agency in Texas and was probably the most impressed of anyone.
Stephen is an amazing guy and was so great to work with leading up to the wedding. Once he gets going, its truly mind-blowing to watch. My guests have not stopped talking about "the best DJ ever" and he was the very best decision we made for our wedding. His music absolutely made our entire evening.
If you have a chance to book him, you will have a wedding that your friends and family will remember. Your guests will talk about it for months and you too will be writing a review like this.
WE LOVE YOU STEPHEN! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING! -

Darby is not just a DJ, he is truly an entertainer. He made our reception a blast!! He read the room so well and knew exactly when to play what music we previously requested. Not to mention his amazing piano skills, which are second to none. Our guests were going on and on about how great of a DJ he was and how into the party he got. He also brought a fun photo booth that was a hit with the guests. We can’t thank him enough!!! -

Best dj on planet earth!
I am a local wedding planner in the Charleston area and have been working with Stephen of Darby Events for years. When I officially got engaged and it was time for me to book a wedding DJ, there was no doubt in my mind of who I would hire...the best DJ on planet Earth, of course! Darby was so easy to work with leading up to the wedding day with quick response times and making sure he knew our overall vision for the big day (which was essentially just a killer party). No surprise here, the day of, he was an absolute dream! Every one of our guests had something to say about our wedding DJ and how incredible he was. We literally had to kick our guests out at the end of the night as they didn't want the party to end (although, neither did we). He is always so fun and easy going onsite and he truly brought the heat to our wedding dance floor. Both my husband and I consider him to be a good friend and part of our family. He is just the best! Look no further....Stephen with Darby Events is the DJ you need on your team for the big day. We love you, Darby!!! XO -

Stephen of Darby Events is in a class of his own! From his quick communication and amazing flowsheets that help guide you through every song selection, he made the entertainment planning for our wedding a breeze! I found his youtube page and after listening to his mash-up videos about 400 times, I knew we had to have him at our wedding! From our prelude music, Jimmy Buffett father daughter dance, and the party music that kept the dance floor packed, Darby made the night a party to remember! By the end of the night when it was time for our private last dance, we were truly sad that the night was already over! The guests were amazed at his live piano and his incredible mash-ups: who else could flawlessly combine Rhianna and Whitney Houston? A huge thank you to Stephen for making our night incredible! -

Planning a destination wedding in South Carolina was tough not being able to see most vendors in person - one decision we made that we were 10000% sure on was booking Darby Events! Stephen was so helpful when first starting out, and has such an infectious energy! We loved how he could mix in songs with playing the piano, added such a cool vibe to our wedding. No one wanted to leave the dance floor at the wedding! He took our must play songs and created such a great mix - could not recommend him enough! We wish we could fly him out to Chicago every weekend for all our parties! :) -

10/10 would recommend Stephen! Being a wedding coordinator, I can always count on Stephen to make wedding days so much easier and stress free! In addition to being incredibly talented, he is so kind, creative, and hilarious. He's an amazing DJ and offers such a fun and different element by playing the piano while he's DJing. Book him for your next event - you won't regret it! -

Darby is an amazing DJ and he was great to work with. We spoke a few times leading up to the wedding and he easily found time to get on zooms with us and answer all of our questions. He had everyone dancing all night and our guests kept telling us how much they loved his music. We would highly recommend him!!

Wow - Stephen Darby was the MVP of our wedding day! People have messaged us asking for his name and playlist after the wedding so they could listen to more of his music and mixes! Not only did he play and mix our favorite music so well - he added amazing piano elements and remixes in that kept everyone on their feet wondering what amazing song would be next! Our goal was to have everyone on the dance floor from start to finish and he delivered! Also, he's got the reputation to match it. Every vendor we worked with said how excited they were to work with Stephen which says a lot about his quality of service in the wedding world!! We also used his awesome mirror photo booth and it was a fan favorite the whole night! What a memorable and fun evening!! We will forever be his #1 fans!!!! -

Working with Stephen was an absolute dream! There were two things I planned my wedding around, my venues availability and Stephen Darby's availability. He literally made the night! All of our guests raved about him and his talents. Not only did he make our wedding amazing, he was great to work with! We sang and danced all night! -

Truly unforgettable and Stephen made it happen. The gist of this review: If you are looking for a classy, high-end, insanely talented and memorable entertainer for your wedding - you WILL NOT find anything better than Stephen from Darby Events.
We stumbled upon a video of Stephen on Instagram and were instantly hooked to his style. I knew what he did was special so my bride brain instantly emailed, messaged and called him :) In a matter of hours we got a message back and set up a call. After one conversation we both knew he had to be our guy - even if he was located half away across the country. So that is what we did. And it was the best decision we made for our wedding. After hours of watching videos and sound clips, searching for bands, finding his Instagram post made us realize how this would be perfect for our guests.
The #1 thing that my husband did not want was "cheesy." As he describes it - the guy on the mic all night acting like a hype man, overdoing it, screaming LETS GO forty times :) Stephen was the absolute 180 of that. He MC'd the entire evening, but in a way that was classy and far from the cringeworthy DJ you have all seen at a wedding. The way he plays music is so appealing to all ages and it made our group really come together. Watching my 60 year old uncle rocking out to an "Outkast" cover by Stephen playing live on the piano....... was priceless.
We visited each table during dinner to thank our guests and had over 10 people say, "where did you find this guy?" We still have people talking about the music at our wedding!
I can't thank Stephen enough for making our wedding something we will never forget. He offers something you just won't see and it’s something that makes a HUGE difference on the overall outcome. You don’t realize how important music is until you understand it happens at your wedding for 5 hours :) Stephen will blow your mind!
