    Awesome to work with

    JD was a dream to work with! He was very helpful and flexible in making sure all music was good to go for our wedding. Everything went off without a hitch and he was so positive through the whole process. We really appreciated him and his terrific DJ skills!

    Wedding DJ

    JD was our wedding DJ, and we were lucky to have him! He was flexible with us, easy to work with, and we/our guests loved him! He did great with song choice and blending songs from one to the next. It was a great party!

    What a great guy and dj!

    JD was hired for our daughter's wedding, and although he moved 2.5+ his away before the wedding, he still honored his commitment!
    As with most weddings, we had hiccups, incorrigible a storm that knocked out the electricity to the venue. JD rolled right with it and was prepared with other lighting and rolled with it! His easy, professional and fun personality was fantastic and greatly appreciated!

    Excellent DJ with excellent taste

    JD absolutely crushed it! Not only do we have similar taste in music he really knew how to pull people onto the dance floor even when there were lulls. He handled himself so professionally and was incredibly responsive to requests even day of the wedding. Hire him asap if you want great energy and smooth management of your events music and announcements.

    May 2023 Wedding

    JD was the best! He played our recommended songs/artists and kept our party on the dance floor the entire night. He was even open to letting my husband perform a karaoke song at our wedding. He was easy to work with and provided exactly what we asked from him. Not to mention...the price is extremely reasonable. 10/10 Recommend him for any wedding or event :)

    Absolutely killed it for our wedding

    He did an absolutely fantastic job for our wedding. He called us to talk about what songs/vibe we were going for, what songs to do for the ceremony prelude, recessional, etc., how to do announcements, and absolutely nailed every little detail. Super friendly and easy to work with. We had a small venue with ~60 guests, half on the older generation side, and he was able to read the room extremely well. Did everything perfectly on time, coordinated announcements as the wedding reception went on. Zero complaints. If you don't book him, you're missing out.

    Fun, Professional, Flexible!

    We hired JD for our 11/5 wedding at Forest Hall in Pittsboro, NC. From our first warm communications with him, we knew we picked the right guy! His pre-made form made everything simple to submit, and we were able to add any other requests in a Google Sheet that we could update throughout our wedding planning process. DJ accommodated our indoor ceremony, outdoor cocktail hour, and indoor reception with ease. His mixing and fading was fantastic and I LOVED trying to figure out what what coming next. This man successfuly faded Celine Dion's "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" into B2K's "Bump Bump Bump"- he is the real deal. Thanks for a killer party, JD!

    The best there is!

    Our photographer recommended JD to us and it was the best referral we got. He's responsive, knowledgeable, professional, and the absolute nicest guy. Working with him was so much more fun and personal than any of the big DJ companies (and somehow also less expensive??) We felt like the only couple on his list, even though I'm sure he's booked solid. Through our whole planning process he was available with advice and experience, and on the day of he gave 110%, kept everything running smoothly and had the dance floor energy going all night long. We felt so lucky to have him!

    Professional, Enthusiastic, & a Friend

    JD is an absolute DELIGHT. He was both professional and timely throughout the wedding planning process. JD takes the time to get to know you, your wedding (or event) vision, and makes you feel so incredibly welcomed and comfortable. His service is impeccable and he is a fantastic, engaging, and fun DJ. His cheerful demeanor and friendly attitude set him apart from the rest. I'll never forget his kind words on wedding day and the voice message he left us with well wishes. We truly cannot thank JD enough for his vital role in our day. Two months later and our guests still rave about how fun our dance floor was - all thanks to JD!

    Highly highly Recommend JD!

    JD was great to work with throughout the whole process of planning for our wedding. He was great with communication and just an overall great person. We couldn’t recommend him more!

    JD’s skill as a DJ really shined on our wedding day. We didn’t make a playlist for him ahead of time, instead we really trusted him to make the right choices to fit the mood and feel of the night and he absolutely killed it. I don’t know how he did it, but he really made us feel like he knew us and selected the perfect songs to fit us. He also did a killer job cutting and transitioning between songs, I remember looking around that night and seeing all our family and friends having a total blast. He was able to get everyone dancing and having a great time. Out of all the weddings that I’ve been to, I’ve had the most fun dancing at my own wedding. JD is awesome and I can’t recommend him more highly as a professional, artist, and just all around amazing person!

    Thank you JD!

    We picked JD as our DJ because of his promptness, attention to detail, and excellent client recommendations. Those recommendations didn’t disappoint! He was an amazing host throughout our wedding reception, both by being comedic and keeping to our time schedules. The main request we had in our DJ was to play music geared towards all the different groups of people at our reception - both young and old, country and rap, fast and slow - and he did just that! All of our guests, and us, had an amazing time dancing the night away with JD’s beautifully written and hand-picked playlists. JD also has an easy to understand online portal that we used to make our specific requests and create our “no-play” lists. All in all, JD was so much fun and we wish we could replay our night with him all over again! Thank you for everything, JD!

    The Best DJ!

    We hired JD Silverthorne as our DJ for our reception at The Barn of Chapel Hill. He did a fantastic job announcing all of the events during the reception (first dance, speeches, cake cutting, etc) and creating the perfect atmosphere with music. He was so easy to work with and was very flexible with our style of music. We shared a Spotify playlist with him that had our favorite tunes and he built the perfect playlist for eating and dancing throughout our reception. We highly recommend JD Silverthorne for all things DJ for your wedding!

    DJ JD Silverthorne was phenomenal!

    JD was absolutely AWESOME at our wedding! My husband and I got married April 30th, 2022 and had JD service the music for our wedding. JD did more than bring the music, he brought TRUE vibes! He had us all on the dance floor the whole night. He did an amazing job blending my husband’s musical taste and mine. And still made it such a party! 10/10 would recommend JD to provide musical services at your event. I’m already trying to think of my next event I can hire him at 😂

    Absolutely Phenomenal

    JD was upbeat and listened to our requests. He nailed it during the processional as well as during our reception. If you are looking for a relaxed, upbeat, knows what he’s doing DJ… this guy is for YOU! I was recommended to him through Raleigh Photobooth Pros and was so thankful that he was available on my big day. I would 1000% hire him again if I needed a DJ.

    Great DJ and MC

    JD was excellent. He did a great job MC'ing the wedding and attempting to get the party going on the dance floor (we aren't a dancing group). I got a lot of compliments about how great the music selection was. He was professional and responsive and obviously knows a lot about music. I highly recommend him!

    JD had our entire wedding dancing the whole night!

    I can’t recommend JD enough! JD and I worked together on my wedding for nearly 3 years, due to postponements because of Covid. During this time, he was always responsive and positive when we spoke, truly trying to know us as a couple and offered great recommendations. My husband and I wanted a custom mix for our first dance and with little direction, JD made the perfect mix. I provided him with do and do not playlists and he not only adhered to those, but also made amazing transitions and knew what to play when. He captured the essence of what we wanted the vibe of our wedding to be perfectly. Our guests raved about him, commenting at how this was the most they ever danced at a wedding! Book JD!!! He is not only extremely talented, but his upbeat personality and professionalism make JD one of the best wedding DJs in the area. Couldn’t recommend him enough!

    Every bride needs JD

    With all of the chaos wedding planning and the wedding day can bring, you can count on JD to answer your email, FaceTime, or call with a smile. He is so genuine. He makes planning your music SO easy. He will fill in the gaps, have great recommendations, and bring the party to your wedding. Everyone absolutely LOVED him. From one bride to another - book him. You’ll be so glad you did.

    Amazing DJ!

    JD was wonderful to work with! He allowed me to add a lighting package at the last minute, which was amazing! He was so helpful in finding song selections, and kept the party going all night. He also organized one of the best moments of my wedding: My husband LOVES Metal and requested one metal song to be be played. JD made the moment AMAZING. Hire him!

    JD was such a fun DJ for our wedding! He was so easy to work with throughout the planning process and incorporated all of our requests into the wedding day.

    Jd is the best!

    JD was the perfect DJ! From before the ceremony start to the last song, the music was on point! My dad and I did a mashup of songs for our dance together and JD mixed them together perfectly! The dance floor was packed all night long and he played the best songs to keep the party going for hours. Hire him!!! You won’t regret it!

    Best dj ever

    I cannot believe how perfectly JD Silverthorne captured our guests and played the music to keep the dance floor going ALL NIGHT. Our guests kept commenting (and still do) at how amazing he was and how he kept the party going and everyone having so much fun. From the start, JD was easy to work with, flexible, and SO KIND. Seriously, book him.

    The best DJ!!!

    I cannot say enough amazing things about our wedding DJ, DJ JD Silverthorne!! You seriously need him in your life. When looking for a wedding DJ, we had not actually heard DJ JD in person before, which I would normally prefer, but he was one of our venue's recommended (not required) DJ's. I noticed on their Instagram page that he worked almost all of their weddings, and so I started following his Instagram page, and knew that he was the one!
    He was so easy to work with throughout the planning process, never hesitating to answer any of my questions, even 9 months out from the actual wedding. He even created a custom mix track that my husband and I wanted for our wedding. He probably did about 10 versions of it for us until we got exactly what we wanted, with no hesitation!

    On our actual wedding day, we had live musicians for the ceremony, and he provided all of the sound for them as well as our Reverend, and it was perfect. He emceed our reception, and kept the dance floor full the entire night!! He was able to read our crowd so well and knew exactly what to play to keep a diverse crowd, young and old, partying together all night long! Our friends were having so much fun, they didn't want the party to stop at the end of the night.

    For your wedding day, you want someone who is experienced, fun, can provide great emcee services, and can read a crowd Look no further because DJ JD is definitely the one!!!

    So fun and talented!

    JD was such a great DJ, but he was also so fun and easy to work with even before the wedding day. He came highly recommended to us by our coordinator, and I totally understand why! When we had certain requests, he was happy to work with us, and when we didn't, we knew we could trust him to decide to play whatever he thought was best. He did not disappoint, and we had a dance party the whole night of the wedding! I can't recommend him enough!
