About

1st Choice Customized DJ Services . Great value and now offering photo booth.

Our attention to detail in pairing you with the right DJ will help make your event one that is truly a once in a lifetime experience. Many times when you call a DJ, you only have one choice. Here at 1st Choice Customized DJ Services, we look at the different personalities of the DJs and let you choose who you feel most comfortable with.

Each of our DJs have been performing for many years and your DJ will bring that experience to the table to help make your wedding special.

We provide services for wedding receptions including the sound system, wireless microphone and dance floor lighting if desired. In addition, we can provide up-lighting to add ambiance to the room, or a photo booth to keep your guests laughing all night long.

If you need sound for the ceremony, we can provide that too. Our experts can provide you with a basic sound system with CD/Ipod/computer player to provide music for your ceremony. If you have a string quartet or soloist, we can also provide a sound board to enhance their performance. In addition, with either of these options, we can provide a separate feed to your videographer so that you don't miss any of the details.

We provide services in North and South Carolina and Virginia so call today to get started with your planning for the ultimate wedding experience!

Fantastic for both the reception and the ceremony

Rodney was fantastic! We asked for a packed dance floor all night, and he delivered. He was extremely responsive and great to work with. Our ceremony audio was seamless, and the reception had a great range of music (something important for my husband and me). Would absolutely recommend.

Best experience ever !

Rodney is the best dj ever ! The days before the weddings, Rodney would email us a template of how typical weddings go (ie guest sitting , ceremony, bouquet toss etc ) and he had us pick music for each one if we wanted to personalize it more. He also helped give suggestions on some great songs too. Then we had a meeting to go over our draft, and every time I had a question, he would respond, it’s your wedding, we can make it happen. So I changed up a few things up from the template and added some of my favorite songs. On the day of the wedding, Rodney delivered excellent service. The sound quality and music choices were perfect. He got everyone on their feet dancing , even my mom who doesn’t understand English was dancing and she never dances ! Lol . Rodney’s professionalism in responding to texts/emails , punctuality, and quality of work is A++++! Highly recommended !

We worked with Randy from 1st Choice DJ for our Wedding on May 12, 2018 at Chapel in the Woods in Louisburg. Randy was an absolute pleasure to work with and helped make our day perfect! From our first planning session until the wedding day, he was incredibly organized and asked all the questions I forgot to!! All of my guests loved the music and had a great time and he did a fabulous job of getting everyone out on the dance floor! Thank you again for a job well done!!

Rodney with 1st Choice came very highly recommended to us by the owner of our wedding venue. He had done countless weddings there and knew both the ceremony and reception space's unique acoustics in and out, so he was the perfect choice for us! He worked with us to make sure we had all of the essential music picked out, and was awesome at making sure the reception flowed well and stayed on track throughout the evening. We were very happy with our decision to hire Rodney!

Let me start by saying I never would have thought all my guests would be on the dance floor at my wedding, but that was not the case at all! Rodney had everyone on their feet dancing and having the best time. He really feels the crowd and understands what needs to be played to keep everyone having fun. If you need a DJ you will not regret using 1st choice!!

We used Randy from First Choice DJ services for our wedding this past May. He was an absolute joy to work with and made our reception one to remember! He met with us prior to our wedding day to go over musical selections, pronunciation of wedding party, and timeline. It made me confident that we were on the same page and we're going to get the reception we were looking for. Randy also went out of his way to cut music for us for special dances and memorable moments throughout the night. They allow you to do an online planner so that you can put requested music in ahead of time to make sure the right songs are used for each event (cake cutting, garter toss, exit, etc). Our guests had an amazing time and it was hard to shut the party down when we had to leave! Would highly recommend to anybody who wants a professional job with a small town personalized feeling. First Choice is the way to go!

Rodney is your go to guy on wedding DJ services. He's extremely organized, responsive and flexible with your needs. He'll keep in touch with you throughout the planning process to make sure the music something you're not stressed out about. Onsite he's very go with the flow and can improvise quickly in any situation. He had our guests dancing all night, so long that we ran over by 30 minutes without realizing. We had an amazing experience using him and would highly recommend him to any couple.

Rodney was the best DJ EVER!! I got so many compliments on him after the wedding. He played a great mix of music and kept everyone on the dance floor all night. I had so many different requests leading up to the big day, but he was understanding and accommodating to all of them. He easily adapted to the atmosphere of the night and eased into dances/introductions with no effort at all. I would absolutely recommend him for any couple looking for a DJ for their wedding. He was easily accessible and helped to make the night fun and flow seamlessly from beginning to end.
