Amazing, reasonably priced service

From the moment my husband and I met DeLane, we knew we’d made the right decision. He’s extremely knowledgeable, makes suggestions without being pushy, and does a phenomenal job during game time. It is evident that he is passionate about what he does. I couldn’t be happier with our decision to hire DeLane!

We hired Mr. Hayes after a referral from a friend for my daughters wedding. He was great to work with, quick to respond to emails, very organized and professional! He kept the audience engaged and everyone had a great time. My eighty plus mother in law was telling us how good he was the morning after the wedding! You won't be disappointed if you contract with him!

I was married on Saturday, December 21, 2013 at Preston Woodall House in Benson, NC. Since I grew up in Northern Virginia and knew nothing about North Carolina, I asked Joel Hurley, co-owner of Preston Woodall House, for a recommendation and he recommended DeLane. My wedding was a little out of the ordinary. I did not have bridesmaids/maid of honor, etc. My fiance and I are country music fans and wanted our own play list, not the usual wedding-type music. I came up with a list of songs we wanted played and sent it to DeLane. I know he thought it was a bit strange but, nonetheless, he played what we wanted. I thought he did a great job and I would highly recommend him for weddings or any other event where you want music. He was accommodating, friendly, and professional. My now-husband and I have nothing but praise for him.

DeLane made our wedding! He was accessible by email and phone every time I needed him. The dance floor was packed the entire night. I couldn't imagine having another DJ!

I chose DeLane for our wedding based off of recommendations from 2 different friends and I couldn't have been happier. I planned our wedding in 6 months so the first time I spoke to DeLane on the phone was about a week in advance and the first time I met DeLane in person was actually on our wedding day. I put a lot of trust in his ability and could not have been more impressed!! No regrets at all! He is very responsive via email and offered plenty of music suggestions for our ceremony. His wedding planning sheet was very helpful and put my mind at ease as he was obviously well organized. The lighting he provided was beautiful and he provided all of the equipment we needed. He even got on the dance floor and beat boxed for one of the bridesmaids who actually turned 25 on our wedding day. He was the life of the party and all of our guests loved him! Highly recommended by our new little family!

DeLane was a consummate professional on our wedding day. Everything went smoothly; he provided music for the ceremony and reception, as well as uplights. His wife even took photos and shared them with us!

DeLane was the best DJ I could have ever asked for. He was full of energy and pleasant to work with before, during and after my wedding. He contacted me several times to see if I needed any help or had any questions. He also provided a comprehensive list of song suggestions in case I needed a few more ideas. Several wedding attendees have complimented my DJ choice. You won't be disappointed if you pick him!

DJ DeLane Hayes was FANTASTIC!!! He provided his service for both our wedding ceremony and reception. The ceremony went very smooth, and we could not have asked for the reception to go any better! DeLane had everyone on their feet the whole time, even the elderly guests! He got out there on the dance floor with us and we all just had a total blast! DeLane really did an outstanding job at our wedding. We had an absolutely amazing time because of him! You can really tell he loves his job. Thanks DeLane for everything!

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST! He contacted me before I had the chance to contact him. He gave me so much information I never had a doubt or question! Delane was so interactive, he had some 'very old' guest at our wedding dancing. He was so interactive everyone felt comfortable and danced the night away. He was by far the best DJ I have ever dealt with and heard. We were so lucky!!!! We have only been married 3 weeks and used him again!! He's truly fabulous.

Let's make this simple- The pic you see of DeLane in the black tux in front of 982 people was my event. He was the DJ for a 125th anniversary GALA at Campbell University in October of 2011.
He met with me and my student panel weeks before the event to make a play list; found every song we requested; appealed to 18 year old freshmen and 96 year old alumni simultaneously; brought life, joy, and excitement to our event; was incredibly professional; and created some of the most memorable moments of the entire event.
I have been asked repeatedly by students, faculty, alumni, and donors for DeLane's information - EVERYONE fell in love with him. Regardless of what he charges you, he is worth about 20x more. There is no replacement for a DJ with the personality, mic skills, and playlist that DeLane has.
Book him, it's the best decision you'll make regarding your wedding day (or any other event day for that matter).
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

DeLane was the DJ at a wedding I photographed and he did a phenomenal job. He was organized, upbeat, and very engaging with the crowd. I heard lots of compliments from attendees about how wonderful of a job he was doing, how great his sense of humor was, and how professional yet approachable he came across. Definitely a pro at what he does, and I'd be honored to work alongside him in the future.

This is another fantastic DJ I have worked with several times. He is a natural born entertainer, who can get the entire crowd going. If you are 5 yrs old or 55 yrs old. DeLane will get you out of your seat and moving, and knows how to set the mood. Always a pleasure working with him!
