About

DJ. Host. Entertainer.

I know planning an event and choosing a DJ can be a lot; let me make the music the easiest part for you. I’ve been making memorable experiences for 15 years; where I shine is matching the music to your vibe while also reading the room, using real DJ transitions to keep the dance floor energy up, working with vendors to keep the event running smoothly, interacting with the crowd, and customizing what I do for each client to create an authentic celebration that brings you and your guests together.

This might not be the 500th event that you've planned, but it is for me and I use my experience as a top entertainment professional to help you every step of the way; from your first message, to the last song of the night.

Event planning: Making decisions can get overwhelming; to make things easier I have a simple & powerful planning app for you to easily keep track of your music preferences/requests, timeline, & details. Even your guests can even make their own song requests in advance!

Raleigh’s Best DJ!

A must hire! Marty was a great vendor for not only myself, the bride, to work with, but every other vendor mentioned how much they loved him! He created a seamless atmosphere and a phenomenal dance floor! Every meeting we had leading up to the wedding was efficient and professional. I knew on my initial consultation call with Marty that he was going to be organized and detail oriented. He gave me access to an app where I could put all my song requests for every moment of the day. You must hire Marty for your wedding or event!

As an event planner, I have worked with many DJ's in the past 10 years. I give Marty an A+. He had the dance floor packed. The energy he brings is incredible. Super professional and really gets to know the couple. Working with him was a breeze. Excellent communication, punctual, reliable and looking forward to working with him in the future.

Marty brought it!

Marty was the most fun of our vendors to work with. I had an incredible experience at my wedding thanks to this amazing DJ and saxophonist. The combination of Marty's seamless transitions and the soulful melody of the saxophonist created an electric atmosphere that kept everyone dancing. Marty's ability to read the room and play the perfect song at the right moment was impressive. I highly recommend Marty and the saxophonist add on for anyone looking for a unforgettable reception.

I've had the privilege of collaborating with Marty on numerous occasions, and his exceptional talent and dedication never cease to amaze me.

What sets Marty apart is his ability to create a unique and unforgettable experience for each couple. He takes the time to understand their music preferences and wedding vision, resulting in a personalized soundtrack that captures their love story beautifully.

Marty is not only a top-notch DJ but also a fantastic organizer. He keeps the celebration on track, ensuring that everything runs smoothly and on schedule. His crowd-reading skills and knack for keeping the dance floor packed are truly impressive.

Beyond his remarkable talent, Marty is a pleasure to work with. His positive attitude, friendly demeanor, and unwavering commitment to excellence make him an outstanding vendor in the wedding industry.

If you want a DJ who will surpass your expectations and create magical moments on your big day, Marty Nightengale is the one. He's more than a DJ; he's a trusted partner who goes the extra mile to make weddings extraordinary.

5 Stars is not enough!!!!

If you are looking for the best entertainment for your wedding please do not look any further. We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Marty. But we are going to list them anyway!

First off, Marty was such a joy to work with and we do not say that lightly. Even before he even played a song at our wedding, the process of working with Marty was truly unmatched. He was the most accommodating and listened to our every request (of which there were many lol). He never even batted an eye to each request and just made it so much more creative. Every call we had with him, we would hang up and just feel filled with joy (We know that sounds corny but it is truly what my wife and I felt like). He truly went above and beyond to make our entertainment at our wedding come alive.

At the wedding - he was UNREAL!!! I would consider myself fairly "picky" when it comes to entertainment and he blew my expectations out of the water. From his ability to get the crowd involved to his talent as a musician, we still cannot get over it. He brought an amazing set up with lights for him and also uplighting that is a must. He also brought an incredible saxophonist who was just as amazing. You both were our favorite part of our wedding!!

Finally, I think the thing we appreciated most about Marty was that he was so genuine. The wedding business is filled with people who are looking out for themselves first and Marty could not be more opposite of that. He truly cared about us and could not have been more thoughtful. We will never forget it!

We cannot say enough great things about Marty. He truly is gifted and is a NO brainer for not only a wedding but any event!

Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Marty is a must hire! His communication is great, he helped us picked songs and if we wanted the song edited in any way, he sent us exactly what we wanted. We also asked him to play our ceremony and is a fantastic musician. He learned our processional and recessional requests and played them flawlessly. Marty was a hit with all our guests as well, no one wanted the party to stop. He will not disappoint!

Marty Nightengale is the Best!!

We saw Marty playing at a brewery in Golden, CO and we knew we wanted him to perform at our wedding! He is an incredibly talented musician and performer and will keep your guested entertained and dancing all night! We truly enjoyed getting to know him during our wedding planning process. Communication was easy, and my husband even took guitar lessons with him and surprised our family and friends by performing a song at the reception. It was one of our best wedding decisions so look no further and hire him and the saxophonist for your wedding!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
