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.

Are you interested?

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!

You need them for your wedding!

I hired Jim from All Around Raleigh for my wedding. I am so happy that I did! The prep process was so easy. Jim is kind, attentive, and professional. He did everything I asked and offered much needed suggestions. He is a PRO and handled everything with grace. Thank you thank you!!

All Around Raleigh DJ kept our dance floor packed all night - book them!

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. My guests are still raving about how our dance floor was one of the most fun they've seen - and this is all thanks to Eric and All Round Raleigh DJ!

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.

Packed dance floor the entire night!

I truly am not being biased, Eric was the best DJ I have experienced at a wedding, and I'm lucky enough that the wedding was mine! He had the entire dance floor packed and had a great flow of songs queued up. I would highly recommend All Around Raleigh DJ to anyone planning a wedding!!

SMOOTH as a fresh jar of Skippy

Eric DJ'd my sons wedding and performed for the ceremony. Super nice guy. He was prompt to answer questions before the wedding day. He popped in by email to see how things were going. He was highly recommended by our wedding planner and she didn't lead astray. He was easy going when we had a major glitch just before the ceremony was to start. He just kept doing his thing until we were ready. He was professional and made our evening run very smooth from start to finish. I attribute much of that to Eric because he kept us moving from one event to another in a low-key manner ...ceremony, refreshment, dinner, toasts, grand re-entry of the newlyweds and the bridal party, first dances, open dance floor, the last dance and the send off! Many compliments on the beautiful and oh so fun evening. I highly recommend Eric!

Best wedding dj

We cannot give Eric enough praise and gratitude. We have been to weddings in the past, and it is obvious how the DJ can either make or break the evening. Eric was the biggest reason all of our friends and family wouldn't get off the dance floor and really partied the night away. Everyone had so much fun and that is in large part due to him. Even still today people are telling us how great our DJ was. Eric was SO easy to work with, made us feel as special as possible, and really was more than perfect. Highly, Highly recommend.

"The best DJ we have ever heard at a wedding"

All Around Raleigh DJ is an amazing team of people! Eric and Michael worked with us through two COVID-19 wedding delays and made our party an event we will never forget! We had so many people tell us that the music was incredible and made for such a great party. People loved the music and were so engaged. Eric DJ'ed our new wedding date and did an exceptional job of helping us personalize the ceremony and wedding - and make it exactly the way we wanted! Eric handled the pre-ceremony, ceremony, dinner, and reception music. When looking for a DJ, one thing I wanted in a DJ was a great mix team - choosing from a song list and knowing what will resonate with the dance floor - and this was definitely the case with All Around Raleigh DJ. I have had many people tell me this was the best DJ they have EVER heard at a wedding. Eric even helped me to plan to sing a surprise song for my partner at our wedding reception. They are such a friendly and professional team, and I would recommend them to anyone!

Great experience!

We originally arranged to work with Michael from All Around DJ for our wedding in September 2020. Due to the pandemic, we had to postpone our celebration until August 2021. Michael was so accommodating with all the changes we were forced to make. He was an absolute pleasure to work with when planning the reception. We would definitely recommend! Thanks for everything!

All Around Raleigh DJ is the best!

Eric from All Around Raleigh DJ is the best! Our wedding day went so smoothly thanks to him. We met with Eric several times leading up to the big day and he was always responsive and professional. He accommodated every special request we had. At our reception, Eric kept our guests dancing all night. We can't recommend All Around Raleigh DJ enough!!!

Eric brought the party!

We booked Eric for our wedding based on recommendation from a friend and we were so glad we did! When we were required to postpone our wedding, Eric worked easily with us and served as a source of stress-relief in what was a very stressful time. Our guest count ended up being 1/4 of what was originally planned but you would have never known - Eric read the crowd so well and kept everyone having a blast at our micro-wedding. He also provided us a flash drive of all the songs played at our wedding so we can relieve the fun from the day! I'd highly recommend Eric.

Awesome DJ!

We had such a wonderful time at our wedding and Michael was a big part of that! We had several conversations with Michael in the months and days leading up to our wedding and he was always easy to talk to, organized, and had some great ideas. Other than several specific song selections, we let Michael select the majority of the music and we are so glad that we did. He utilized different genres of music at different parts of the wedding ceremony and reception which really helped things flow nicely and kept everyone happy and having fun. Our day was better than we would have ever anticipated and are so grateful that Michael was a part of it.

Awesome DJ

We can't say enough good things about Eric and the rest of his team! From the moment we reached out to him, to our last song, Eric was responsive, down to earth, and accommodating. Not only did he work with us when we had to change our wedding date due to COVID, but he also helped provide live streaming services when our guest list went from 100+ down to 10. You won't be disappointed hiring All Around Raleigh DJ!

Exceptional & Professional DJ

My daughter was married on December 19,2019 & we were fortunate to have Eric as our Dj. From my first contact with Eric to the end of the evening was an exceptional experience for us. He was so prompt in answering our emails. He kept the party going playing the perfect music keeping everyone on the dance floor the entire night. He is extremely personable making this a memorable beautiful occasion. In addition to having him DJ the wedding he dit the uplighting for the wedding & everything looked beautiful. He gave my daughter options fo the uplighting to give her the effect that she wanted. He is a true professional who loves what he does & that can be seen the way he interacts at an affair. Our guests are still commenting on what a great wedding & what great music. We are very happy with our decision to use Eric& All Around Raleigh DJ.

BEST DJ in Triangle Area

Eric from All Around Raleigh DJ was AMAZING! We hired him for our wedding at Angus Barn Oct 2019. He ensured every detail was covered from names, to order of entrance, to seamless song playing that led to an outstanding party. I’m pretty sure all 200 of our attendees were dancing for the whole reception. Do not consider anyone else besides All Around Raleigh DJ - you’ll have a party you’ll never forget and the toasts captured with the old school microphone were priceless. Have to mention how prompt his communication pre-wedding was too - email, text, call, he was always available to answer every question and put any concern to ease! Happy wedding to those reading this!!!!

Great DJ for our wedding!!

Nick did such a fantastic job dj’ing my wedding this November. He was extremely responsive and very flexible as we wanted to incorporate Egyptian music into our wedding. He did a great job with the music selection and getting everybody on their feet and dancing. He also did a great job keeping everything on track the whole night and really made it unforgettable! All Around Raleigh DJ was there for me the whole planning process, making everything seem effortless!

Eric was AMAZING from the moment we met him until the night of the wedding. Our first meeting was so personalized that we knew we had found the perfect DJ. The night of Eric played all the right music and the night was so fun. If you are looking for a great DJ look no further- Eric is your man!

Eric was absolutely wonderful at our wedding and he was so responsive and helpful leading up to the wedding. Our entire wedding party was on the dance floor and he did a great job asking our entire wedding party what they would like to hear during our wedding. His announcements were on point and professional, and the music and dance floor lights were perfect! Thank you!

Best Wedding DJ there is

My husband and I got married on May 25, 2019 and hired Michael from All Around Raleigh DJ to DJ our wedding. To say Michael went above and beyond is an understatement. It's almost 2 months since our wedding and I am still hearing from guests how great Michael was. From the beginning Michael was attentive and offered great suggestions. We met multiple times throughout the wedding planning process. Our dance floor was packed from the moment Michael started playing music until the very last song. Michael listened to everything we said, offered great suggestions and had everyone dancing non stop. My husband secretly communicated with Michael about a surprise dance he had practiced and included all the guests in, Michael communicated with Jared and wow did they surprise me. We cannot say enough good things about Michael. Thank you Michael for making our day the best day of our lives.

Needed a bigger dance floor!

Michael with All Around Raleigh DJ is incredible! Leading up to the big day, we had as many meetings and calls as needed to finalize all of the details - which there's so much more a DJ does than just playing music for the reception. He had the organization down pat. Day of was seamless. We had our whole wedding at the same venue, but in three different areas. Michael had each area set & ready to go with zero interruptions to get from one to the other. The first, F/D & M/S dances were timed perfectly and faded out when needed - seeming like the song always sounded this way. For the dancing portion of the evening, Michael created the only problem you'll ever want to have at a wedding - not having rented a big enough dance floor. We had many discussions about type of music leading up to, and he always was on the same page. Michael created an incredible environment for fun. The dance floor was packed all night! Periodically, he'd check in with us if there was anything he could specifically play, and neither my husband nor I could think of anything better! Michael was truly killing it. Receiving a thumb drive of all of our music was the icing on the cake! It will help us relive the day over & over for years to come.

Wedding Weekend Perfection

My sister used All Around Raleigh DJ for her wedding in 2013 and my husband and I just used them for our own wedding this year. They are amazing to work with! Eric was extremely helpful, prompt, and comforting. He made our entire experience stress free - from start to finish. Our wedding day was seamless and Eric had a huge part in making it that way! I highly recommend booking with them!

Eric was great. He understood and had fun with the music. We had complements from multiple people spanning our friends and our parents friends about the music. Which was largely Eric's work.

He did exactly what we wanted. Which was get everyone onto the dance floor. We even had some extra fun activities like a traditional Jewish and Greek dance. He totally ran with it and made it very memorable.

Fun and Fantastic

We had Jim as our DJ and absolutely loved working with him. He was easy to work with, helped create our ideal music vibe for the wedding and provided an energetic atmosphere for the dance floor.

Daughter’s Wedding

Eric was a dream to work with! My daughter had a great time collaborating with him on both the ceremony and reception. The ceremony music was flawless! He played a great mix of music during the reception that kept people dancing all night!

Michael was excellent. He is so kind, talented, and fun! He was very easy to work with. He made the night special and put a lot of thought and preparation to make the night perfect for our daughters reception! I would pick him again!

Do yourself a favor--hire All Around Raleigh DJ!!

As a wedding planner, I was extremely particular when it came to selecting my vendors. My husband and I were so nervous about finding a DJ that could cater to our (very specific, old school!) musical taste. When we met Michael, we knew we had found our guy. Michael went above and beyond our wildest wedding DJ dreams--he was responsive, proactive, and listening to everything we wanted and suggested. His attention to detail is truly admirable. He followed up several times throughout the planning process, and I never once had to track him down on email. As a planner, this means the world to me! And on the wedding day, everything went flawlessly--I will treasure the memories of dancing with our guests and family forever, and Michael made all of that possible. He was fun without being super overbearing and aggressive, which was also very important to me. Also, he's just a wonderful person! We've received several rave comments about how awesome the music was at our wedding. 5 stars!!!

The best dj ever!

We knew that Eric was going to be great when he spent an hour talking to us on the phone even before we officially hired him for our wedding. He was thoughtful, excited, interested in us and what we wanted out of our reception. He was great at communicating with us through the process. We were amazed at how the reception was exactly what we dreamed and more. If you are having your wedding in Raleigh, you would be making a mistake by picking anyone else but AllAround DJ!!

Unforgettable DJ!

Eric and his team did a phenomenal job DJing our daughter's wedding last weekend as well as providing photo booth and uplighting. His professionalism and experience were evident throughout. He listened to my daughter's requests and put together a great playlist that kept people on the dance floor the whole night. We received so many compliments on the music and the event overall. It was such a pleasure working with Eric from start to finish. Would definitely hire them again. Thank you Eric & All Around Raleigh DJ!! Mary B.

Great experience and music all around!

All Around Raleigh DJ performed at our wedding and my husband and I could not have been more pleased with them! We worked specifically with Brian who did an amazing job choosing just the right songs for each moment on our big day. Good music really sets the mood, and it was nice to see all of our guests enjoy themselves the whole time. Highly recommend them!

Amazing Experience

Everything from start to finish was perfect! Eric went (cliche I know) above and beyond to make sure our wedding was everything we wanted. He tailored our play list to match our style and taste. Held one on one meetings with us to go over song choices, listen to options, make sure we had the chance to choose a song for every important moment through out the day! Even beyond the music, Eric gave recommendations for other vendors. Even sent a little "You're getting married" gift! Eric, thank you for making our wedding so special! Thank you for your wonderful personality, being organized and making sure every detail was covered and being so excited to help make our day great! I absolutely recommend All Around Raleigh DJ to any and every bride!

Eric from All Around Raleigh DJ was the best DJ we could have imagined for our reception! He did an awesome job understanding the type of music we wanted to play, and the song choices matched the flow of the reception perfectly. Our dance floor was packed the entire night, and he played the perfect combination of songs that appealed to our entire range of guests. Later in the night, he even let my husband and I guest DJ at the turntables--it was a blast, and something we'll always remember! Eric was very thoughtful all night--my dad referenced a Blake Shelton song during his speech, and Eric noticed that small detail and played the song a few moments later! He was also an awesome emcee and helped with transitions throughout the reception. Every wedding reception needs a DJ like Eric--and it was true, we did need a bigger dance floor!

Eric was one of the first people we hired for our wedding, and he really helped us go through the entire process. He saved us money on who to hire and who not to hire, recommended other vendors, and was a calm voice through the entire process. The day of the wedding he was amazing. He rolled with a couple of last second changes we made, and kept everyone dancing all night. He was great. You should hire him for your wedding.

Planning a wedding is stressful enough, so when you can find a vendor who alleviates this, take advantage of it! All Around Raleigh DJ was a joy to work with from the initial inquiry until our wedding. Eric and team were always responsive to any questions we had and kept us in the loop of anything they needed from us. Evan Gordon was our DJ for the wedding and he kept the party going from start to finish, and managed to keep it about the wedding with as few of announcements as possible. Sometimes DJ's try and make the night about them but he was professional and kept to our songs and added some of his own to keep the energy up. Highly recommend to anyone looking to book a DJ for their wedding!

Having All around Raleigh DJ was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Eric Hodgden was our DJ and he did an amazing job. He was always willing to help and answer all of our questions we had during the planning of our wedding. He met with us a couple of times and followed up with emails fairly quickly. The day of the wedding, Eric did an incredible job by keeping everyone entertained with great music and announcements for our events in the reception. We couldn’t have been happier how our wedding turned out, thanks to the music provided by Eric. As some people said, our wedding was lit! We highly recommend booking All around Raleigh DJ for your wedding day!

Thank you so much,
Lauren and Renato

When "Africa" by Toto started playing during the reception, I knew we had found the right D.J. Every song was perfect and perfectly timed, and Eric listened to all requests and read the room really well. He talked to everyone and was a great emcee for the toasts. We loved working with Eric and would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone else who's looking for a wedding D.J.!

In Eric's email signature it says "Your gunna need a bigger dance floor" and he is absolutely right! He kept people of all ages on the dance floor for the entirety of the reception with oldies, classics, hip hop and pop music! He also managed the sound during our ceremony and everything ran so smoothly! Eric took our musical suggestions and took time to learn about our taste to play the best music for our reception. We would highly recommend him for any event!

Eric and All Around Raleigh DJ was exceptional! From the ceremony music to the final dance, Eric kept the dance floor full, fun and energized! Eric was recommended to us and we are thrilled with the job he did. I've never been to a wedding were the dance floor was full the whole night long! He played family favorites, special songs to the bride and dance favorites that everyone loved. He was the perfect master of ceremony for toasts and first dances. Just perfect "All Around"!
Thank you Eric!

What first attracted me to All Around Raleigh DJ was that when I sent out quotes to a bunch of dj vendors, Eric was the only one that personally called me. The pricing was initially out of my price range but Eric put together a package for me within my budget with one of his other djs- who we met and loved. It was the sincerity and genuineness of wanting to make our day special that had me book with them. About 3 weeks before our wedding we found out that our dj had left the company and there was not one moment of panic as Eric informed us he would be our dj! We met to smooth out any anxiety of the last minute change and it ended up being such a fortunate event for us. Eric is absolutely amazing! He incorporated all the music we gave him and had people dancing all night. So much so that my Aunt even extended the dancing for another hour. He even worked with my husband who wanted to surprise me and sing a song to me at the wedding. The pictures of that look great with the cool mic they provide. Overall the music was amazing from ceremony to reception and I danced to every song he played. Would recommend All Around Raleigh, and especially Eric, to anyone looking for a wedding DJ!

Eric is brilliant. We loved him! Some Dj's honestly can be creepy, and overbearing. Reminds me of the strange fair attractions where they yell "Scream if you want to go faster" . Eric is the antithesis of that. He is so friendly, and charming. Knows what he's doing, and cares about making your night the best. He gave us valuable advice throughout our planning process - on wedding topics that were not even related to music. He wants your day to be special and he goes above and beyond to make that possible. Song choices, and the whole process was easy as we were initially worried about having to use a complicated website but it was all in google docs and so straightforward. Eric also provided the music for our ceremony and guests commented on how much they loved our choice (Portuguese Love Theme from Love Actually).

The only thing that was troublesome was we wanted to make sure our vows could be heard and that mikes were set up ahead of time. Sadly on the day it was quite windy and a lot of guests couldn't hear us. We learned that the wind/feedback was an issue.

All of the songs on our list were played plus some additions that fitted in perfectly. Overall Eric was so lovely to work with. He made the night a great party atmosphere without it being obnoxious. All of our guests commented afterwards how great the night was and Eric was definitely a huge part of that.

Eric is amazing! My husband and I have completely different tastes in music so we were at a loss for what to do. We ended up only picking out a few songs (father daughter dance, mother son dance, ceremony entrance and exit songs) from there Eric came up with what to play for everything. It turned out perfect!

Our wedding day unfortunately ended up being on the same day as a bad snow/ice storm in Raleigh, NC and it ended up being pretty stressful because about 1/3 of our guests were unable to make it due to weather. Eric assured us that once the snow was in the forecast that he would be there no matter what, and he was! Although we were missing several of our guests, Eric was incredible through the entire process and he made our night such an awesome party! He was so thoughtful and considerate from the day we reached out to him interested in our services all the way through saying goodbye to us right before our exit. He even gave us a flash drives with the songs from our wedding day! We will very gladly recommend Eric and All Around Raleigh DJ Company to all of our friends!

Michael was an amazing DJ! He was very responsive during the planning process and offered great suggestions for music throughout the wedding. He knew exactly what to play during our wedding to keep everybody dancing and having a great time. He was a calming influence during a very hectic day! I believe he received several hugs from friends and family by the end of the night! Can't recommend them enough!!

Eric did an outstanding job with our music selection, engaging with the audience and making sure our night was one we will never forget! They say music at your wedding reception is a make it or break it, Eric MADE it! He made sure our friends and family felt like his family. He made sure our music was up beat and would use his catchy phrases to draw the crowd. We can't say enough great things about our experience. If we have another reception, party, etc we know Eric will be our DJ. Hands down a fantastic night with so many fantastic memories. Our hearts are full!

While we were planning our wedding, we had every intention of meeting with multiple DJs to make sure we found one that felt like a perfect fit for our personalities and reception plans. Eric with All Around Raleigh turned out to be our first and last stop. By the end of our initial meeting, we felt more like friends than clients. Eric is sweet, courteous, down to earth, and laid back, and his experience and expertise is readily apparent. His familiarity with our reception space and their audio setup was a plus - with Eric you know that you are getting a DJ that has seen and done it all. It was very clear that his primary goal was to do whatever he could to provide a reception that worked in our (smaller) space while also being a blast for us and our guests, and Eric definitely delivered. In the time between booking and our big day, Eric was involved, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. He made working out our must-plays, don't-plays, and those tricky guest requests fun and stress-free, and he was always available for advice or assistance, whether it was related to music choices, timeline logistics, or wedding planning in general.

On the big day, Eric's excitement was infectious, both for us and for our guests. Prior to the reception he made sure we had everything we needed, that he was on the same page with our vendors and coordinator, and that our wedding party was comfortable. He went the extra mile to get to know each of them and was very professional and personable with our guests. As the night went on, he chose a perfect balance of songs (while somehow managing to hit all of our must-plays and even the last-minute requests) and most of our guests spent the majority of the reception on the dance floor thanks to Eric's ability to keep the energy up and the party going, which is exactly what we had hoped for. Eric was hands down one of the best choices we made for our wedding day, and we highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a stellar DJ.

Michael is something special! He was such a pleasure to work with leading up to the wedding, he has such great ideas and insights that he always presents in a very friendly and approachable way, he is so kind and wonderful to be around, and above all else he is great at his job! We got married during Hurricane Matthew and the schedule got a little delayed. Michael ( and all of our other incredible vendors!) was kind enough to stay for an extra hour in order to ensure that we had a great party with tons of people on the dance floor. We are so grateful!

Eric from All Around DJ was PHENOMENAL! From the day we met with him, we knew we wanted him to DJ our wedding. At our first meeting, he came with a theoretical schedule of events with timing, and patiently answered all our questions. From there, he was always available via phone or email to discuss any problems or questions that we had. He provided lovely music for the ceremony and made our reception so fun.

At the reception, he was lively without being obnoxious, and kept the party going all night. He was always friendly, professional, and super helpful. We are SO happy we picked Eric to DJ our wedding, and highly recommend him! Thanks a ton, Eric!
Cheers!

I was blown away by the services we received from Al at All Around DJ. He was so communicative and willing to work with us as frequently as necessary leading up to the big day in order to make sure our reception timeline was perfect. On the big day, he really went above and beyond, even asking us occasionally if he could get us anything to drink or if there was anything else we needed. He stuck to the schedule when needed, but was very flexible and communicative when we decided on the fly to make changes. My expectations for a wedding DJ were absolutely blown out of the water by him, and I'll be sure to be recommending him to all the future brides and grooms in my life!

Eric was so accommodating before and during the wedding, and he was instrumental to our planning process. We weren't very organized and didn't realize the photographers' timeline was slightly off from the venue's, and we wouldn't have realized it if Eric hadn't sent an email to all of the vendors. He was also very helpful to us planning our songs and ceremony remotely as we were out of state. He also kept the party going when many people left the dance floor. Eric was fun, professional, and organized, and he was a great DJ!

Eric made our wedding the party we wanted!!! He knew when to play what type of music, got people out on the dance floor and helped make our night stress free. We also got the photo booth through Eric and are so glad we did! We have a hilarious book of memories as well as a digital copy of the pictures and Eric's playlist from the night. We could not have asked for a better DJ. Hands-down, choose Eric!

I believe that the success of a wedding is largely dependent on the performance of the vendors. All Around Raleigh DJ had a big part in making our event a success. We started planning the wedding over a year before the event and at that time reached out to several vendors, All Around Raleigh DJ being one of them. We then bought a house and got a little distracted from planning. Eric at All Around Raleigh DJ checked in frequently to see how plans were progressing and even offered his assistance with questions without ever being pushy. When we finally got around to signing a contract, he put us in touch with his DJ, Michael (as Eric was already booked). Michael was awesome to work with. He met us at a convenient location for us several times throughout the planning process. From the first meeting, we were confident in Michael's ability to make sure the music at our wedding was exactly what we envisioned. He was accommodating with our unusual song requests and was enthusiastic throughout the whole process. He was very responsive and helpful. During the event, he kept us on track with the timeline he planned out for us so that I didn't have to worry about the time - this was especially helpful because I did not have a wedding planner. The dance floor was full all night and he was able to assess the crowd and play music that would keep people dancing. I will recommend him and All Around Raleigh DJ to my friends and family. He and Eric were an absolute pleasure to work with!

I worked with All Around Raleigh DJ for our wedding on 4/23/2016 and they were excellent! I worked with Eric to set up payment and go over the contract, but Michael, our DJ, he was awesome. We met 2 times in person and we had one conference call. We probably would have met three times, but because of my finance's living situation (he was still in Columbia, SC!) Michael was able to confirm all of our details a few days before the wedding to calm our nerves. He played all the songs we liked and at the right moment. Everything was seamless. If I could do it again, I wouldn't change a thing! This is a fantastic and honest company. Thank you!

We had the best experience with Al as our DJ! We used All Around Raleigh for both our ceremony and reception music, as well as photobooth rental for our wedding. Eric was super prompt in contacting us back and was VERY patient with us through the planning process.

Our DJ, Al, was just as kind and easy to work with (even when we weren't)! He made time to chat with us on the phone multiple times as we planned our wedding long distance. He was also very flexible in meeting for walk-throughs, etc, as well as to chat about likes/dislikes in music when we were in town. He made sure we were all on the same page with the music (checking versions, length of songs, etc) , and timeline for the big day well before our wedding, making sure we were absolutely comfortable with everything along the way. He came early and prepared on wedding day giving himself plenty of time to get set up and situated well before guests arrived. He was also incredibly kind and welcoming to our guests; our photographers thought he might have been a friend of the family!

We, and our guests, also loved the photobooth! Mickey manned the photobooth and helped make sure guests could get enough copies of their pictures as well as one for our photo album. We really liked that we could add the photobooth on through All Around Raleigh as they were just so great to work with!

We can't say enough good things about Al, Mickey, Eric and All Around Raleigh and highly recommend them!

We trusted Eric completely and he delivered, 200%. No glitches with ceremony tech stuff. Perfect volume of music all night. Packed dance floor all night from young to old. AND he was just a genuinely nice, fun guy to be running our wedding and I was glad that he was there having fun with our people. Don't think twice about going with this DJ company. True professionals and worth every cent!

My wife and I highly recommend Eric as your DJ. Music is a huge part of our relationship. In fact, I played guitar as she walked down the aisle. We wanted our musical influences to be layered throughout the ceremony, cocktail hour , dinner and our ultimate dance party. Eric was extremely helpful and receptive to our music selections. He crafted the perfect soundtrack for our wedding and then we had amazing dance music. He did a great job in asking us throughout the night if we were happy with the progression and he seamlessly took suggestions from the guests and mixed them into the mix. My wife and I were on the dance floor for the whole night except for two songs. It was more than what we had envisioned and Eric played a large role in that.

We originally hired Eric to be our DJ ( who we absolutely loved from our very first meeting). However, due to family emergency, he informed us about 3 weeks prior that he would be unable to DJ our wedding. He immediately put Michael onto our wedding. We were very nervous at first, but the moment we met Micheal, all our worries vanished. He was just as personable as Eric and seemed to enthusiastic and excited about our wedding. He offered suggestions and was very attentive to us through email, phone calls, and texts. Our guests had such an amazing time! We highly recommend All Around Raleigh DJ!!!

Eric could not have been more professional to work with and put us at ease right away. Nothing rattled him; not even last minute changes!
I would highly recommend Eric and All Around Raleigh DJ Company! They are the best!

One of the comments that I continue to hear regarding our wedding was how fantastic the music was!

I'm so glad we used All Around DJ for our wedding. Eric met with us to go over everything and then kept in communication with us via email. He made the process unbelievably easy and not stressful at all. He did both our ceremony and reception and everything was flawless. He provided mics for the service and even let the videographer hook into his equipment for the best possible sound. He did a phenomenal job with all our guests and they all loved every single song he played and are still saying how much fun they had. He also put up with our crazy guests and all their requests. :) Without a doubt he's the best person for the job!

Eric was AMAZING! He was the DJ for our wedding and not only was he fun but he kept our dance floor full the ENTIRE night! We even extended our reception since everyone was having so much fun. We HIGHLY recommend him for any event.

Michael was our DJ and definitely the best! Thank you for all your hard work to make our reception the most memorable day of our lives!!! :) Thank you for your attention to detail and for taking care of us the entire night. I think everything went great and just wish we could've continued the night on and it not have had to end! I will most definitely keep you in mind for anything in the future that we may need your services for, and I'll definitely refer you to anyone I know of looking for a dj. Again, thank you so much. We feel like we made a friend out of you more than anything!

Eric was spectacular! We had incredible playlists that were created with the bride and groom. He helped us execute a surprise flash mob. He had the entire room dancing, which was our request! Notably the volume of the music allowed people to dance and to talk at tables!! He is an incredibly fun and enthusiastic person. Everyone was raving!

We absolutely could not have hired a better DJ for our wedding. Eric had everyone dancing all night long! He was very helpful throughout the planning process, and always responded quickly to any messages we sent him. He also was great about handling requests from our guests, as well as respecting our 'must-play' and 'do-not-play' lists. Everyone had so much fun at our wedding, and we definitely attribute that to the fantastic DJ performance!

Thank you Eric for everything you and Michael did to make Meghan and Scott's wedding day perfect. We appreciate it more than you will ever know! Michael was awesome! The music he played was exactly what Meghan and Scott wanted. The lighting he put up was beautiful and he was SOOO helpful and calming when Meghan was freaking out the last couple of days. He was very responsive every time we had a question and he was professional and courteous at the reception. I will ALWAYS recommend All Around Raleigh DJ, when asked for a referral.

Michael was our DJ, and I can't say enough nice things about him. First off, he made us feel so special from our very initial meeting. He took the time to ask us questions beyond music and really learn who we are. During the wedding, he read the group like a pro, and kept our dance floor packed. He acted not only as MC and DJ but also as a friend - especially to my nervous husband who was alone in a giant ballroom pre-wedding ceremony when he found Michael. Sincere and talented, we are so glad we found Michael.

Eric, the owner, was the DJ for our wedding and we can't say enough positive things about him and our entire experience! Eric was recommended by Sarah Shumay (our wedding planner of Sweet Sarabell). Sarah and Eric have done a lot of weddings together, so we were expecting a pretty spectacular event with both of them--we were definitely not disappointed!

Eric was easy to work with, super responsive, and very professional. He made awesome song recommendations, and even played a mixed track (which made it look like the DJ messed up the song) from my dad for our dance. He did the music for both our ceremony and our reception.

Eric and I planned nearly all the wedding music via email, which was really helpful for me with my busy job. He also offered for plenty of phone calls and to meet in person, but I was able to get exactly what I needed via email. I appreciated the ability to help me any way he could!

The day of the wedding was flawless. The music was perfectly executed and timed. I didn't notice anything except pure perfection and an amazing party--exactly what I wanted from a DJ! He even played my MOH's request twice because she missed it the first time, which was so nice!

Eric played a perfect mix of music and the crowd danced the entire reception. He gave me warnings when we were running out of time to fit in the garter and bouquet tosses. I kept getting pulled into conversations and not paying attention to time, but he was able to subtly ask me what I wanted to do throughout the night. I told him eventually to throw out the bouquet and garter tosses since the party was going so well, so he just played those songs as music to dance to instead. It worked perfectly!

Eric got really into the party, put on props from the photobooth (which he also provided), and danced around with people. He felt really engaged and we loved that! He worked flawlessly with Sarah and her team. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect DJ and would love to book him again!

Hands down - the abolsute best dj you can find. Everyone loved him (Michael did our wedding). People were asking about getting his info before the wedding was even over! He and Eric were so helpful leading up to the wedding, with so many suggestions and they were willing to work with us to find the perfect songs to fit the occasion. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone!

We absolutely loved working with Eric! He was our DJ for our wedding (pre-wedding through reception). From the very beginning, he was professional, responsive, and fun to work with. He was great with song suggestions and always willing to help. We all had a blast dancing the night away and have Eric to thank! I highly recommend Eric for your wedding!
