Keep the party going with All Around Raleigh DJ!

Eric Hodgden of All Around Raleigh DJ absolutely crushed it. He curated the perfect playlist for a millennial couple getting married at an art museum — no small feat — and somehow managed to keep everyone on the dance floor all night.

The music felt intentional, fresh, and perfectly paced, reading the room effortlessly and keeping the energy high without ever feeling forced. We had guests of all ages coming up to us saying how much they loved the music, and people truly could not stop dancing.

Eric from All Around Raleigh DJ Company was Absolutely Incredible

We could not have asked for a better DJ than Eric from All Around Raleigh DJ Company! He was truly one of the highlights of our daughter’s wedding day. I had to book a DJ last minute, and Eric was so incredibly flexible and kind throughout the entire process. He even took the time to connect with me while he was on vacation, just to make sure we were all set and had what we needed. That alone speaks volumes about his professionalism and commitment.



Because our wedding was held during the week, we were able to take advantage of a midweek discount, which was a huge blessing. But even at full price, Eric would have been worth every penny. He was responsive, accommodating, and truly went above and beyond to meet every single request we had.



During the wedding itself, Eric brought the perfect balance of professionalism and fun. The energy he brought to the room was amazing, and he kept the atmosphere lively and upbeat all night long. The dance floor was packed from start to finish—something you always hope for but can’t guarantee unless you have the right DJ. Eric was that DJ!



He has such a great presence—fun, upbeat, and totally in tune with the crowd. The way he introduced our wedding party and announced guests was done with such excitement and flair. It felt classy but never stiff, and totally fit the joyful vibe of the evening. He also helped us stay on schedule without making the night feel rushed at all.



At one point, we were trying to coordinate table photos with guests, which could’ve been awkward or chaotic, but Eric made it feel fun and smooth. He handled transitions beautifully and kept the entire night flowing effortlessly.



We didn’t end up using the Photo Booth or special lighting options he offers, but I’m certain those would’ve been amazing too—just based on the quality and care he brought to everything else.



Eric’s joyful, can-do spirit and skill behind the mic made him an essential part of our celebration. He far exceeded our expectations, and we are so grateful for the way he helped make our daughter’s wedding truly unforgettable.



If you’re considering booking All Around Raleigh DJ Company—don’t hesitate. Eric is everything you could hope for in a wedding DJ and more.

Best choice we could’ve made!!

All Around Raleigh DJ was the best choice we could’ve made for our wedding!!

The whole process of making sure everything was what we imagined was made so easy with AARDJ!!! We worked with Eric, and he was very professional, flexible, quick and easy to communicate with and we couldn’t have asked for a better DJ!

The music order, transitions, and timing for it all was so perfect!

5 stars is not enough!!

The best wedding DJ

Eric was the best DJ we could have asked for! He was recommended by our wedding planner, Events by Emily, and really brought the party. During the planning process, he was always quick to respond and open to all our ideas. At the reception, he matched the vibe the whole evening from cocktail hour to the hora and more. We highly recommend him for a great wedding reception!

The most fun!

We had the best time with Eric. He was responsive, communicative, and so attentive to our needs. He took the time to get to know us and what we liked (as well as what we didn't!). The music was SUCH a highlight of our wedding day. It was so easy to trust him to play not only our requests, but music in our style and that we would dance to! I don't think the dance floor was ever still. He also kept our reception running smoothly with such joy and humor. The mic was an excellent touch for our toasts! He was absolutely on it for our ceremony music as well - from start to finish, can't recommend All Around Raleigh enough!

All Around Raleigh DJ managed to keep our dance floor packed all night long. Eric played every song I requested and followed my suggestions of the type of music I wanted to play to a tee. He was responsive to all of my questions and requests and made planning a breeze.

Wonderful DJ

Eric did an absolutely wonderful job. He was great to work with! He noticed when people weren’t interested in a particular song and faded out to the next one. He checked in with us and our families during the event to make sure we were happy.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
