At Stylus Weddings, we help North Carolina couples feel prepared from the first conversation to the final dance. Whether you are comparing packages, planning your ceremony music, building your must-play list, or deciding which enhancements fit your reception, our team is here to make the process simple and personal.
Below, you will find answers to common questions about our wedding DJ services, emcees, timelines, music planning, equipment, travel, booking process, and event enhancements.
Frequently Asked Questions
We understand that plans can change. If you need to postpone your wedding, your retainer can be transferred to another available date. Because we reserve your date and may turn away other clients once you book, cancellation terms are outlined in your booking agreement.
If your event is canceled and we are able to book another event for your DJ on the original date, your retainer will be refunded in accordance with the terms of your agreement.
Your remaining balance is due 10 days before your wedding. Taking care of payment in advance allows you to enjoy the celebration without worrying about payment details at the end of the night.
You can pay by credit card, check, money order, or through our convenient online portal.
Gratuities are always appreciated but never expected. Some couples choose to tip their DJ when they feel the service went above and beyond, but the decision is entirely up to you.
Your DJ will typically be on-site for eight to ten hours, including setup, performance time, and teardown. If a vendor meal is available, it is always appreciated. However, you do not need to purchase an expensive plated meal for your DJ.
If food will not be available, please let us know in advance so your DJ can bring something to eat. Any meal break will be timed carefully so it does not interfere with the flow of your event.
Stylus DJs may enjoy water, tea, lemonade, or soft drinks while working, but we do not drink alcohol at events. We are there to provide professional service from start to finish.
Your music will continue throughout the event. Your DJ will coordinate any brief personal or meal breaks around the timeline so there is no interruption to your celebration.
Absolutely. Whether someone is singing, playing an instrument, giving a reading, or contributing in another meaningful way, let us know during the planning process. We will help coordinate the audio and timing so the moment fits smoothly into your ceremony.
Yes. We can provide everything you need for your wedding ceremony, including specialty music selections, a microphone for your officiant, and up to 30 minutes of prelude music as your guests arrive. We will help ensure each moment feels seamless, from the first song to the final walk down the aisle.
Stylus S.E. has a backup plan in place for unexpected situations such as illness or a family emergency. Our team includes several experienced DJs who can step in when needed.
Your online planning portal also helps protect your event by keeping your timeline, music selections, announcements, and preferences organized in one place. Although emergencies are rare, we prepare carefully so your celebration can move forward smoothly.
Setup time depends on your package, venue, and selected enhancements. We do not charge separately for standard setup or teardown time.
Your DJ will typically arrive well before your guests so the equipment can be installed, tested, and ready before your celebration begins.
Most weddings within our standard service area do not require an additional travel fee.
For weddings farther away, a travel fee may apply to cover driving time, mileage, lodging, or airfare when necessary. Any applicable travel costs will be clearly outlined in your proposal before you book.
Our DJs typically wear a professional suit or similarly polished attire. If your wedding has a specific theme, dress code, or color palette, let us know. We will be happy to coordinate our appearance with your plans.
Absolutely. Most of our planning meetings are held virtually, making it easy to connect around your schedule. You can schedule as many virtual meetings as you need throughout the planning process. Prefer to meet in person? Just let us know, and we will be happy to arrange a meeting.
We typically play radio-edited versions of songs to keep the music appropriate for your celebration. If you prefer unedited versions or have specific preferences, let us know during the planning process.
Of course. You are welcome to request songs throughout the celebration. Your DJ can also take requests from your guests, provided they fit your preferences and the overall direction you have chosen for the event.
Our online planning portal includes a large collection of popular wedding music, but it is only the starting point. Each Stylus DJ also has access to an extensive music library beyond what appears in the planner.
If there is a song we do not already have, let us know. We will make every reasonable effort to find it and prepare it for your event.
That is completely fine. Some couples want to provide general musical direction, while others have a carefully curated playlist. We can work with either approach.
If you want your DJ to stay closely within your selected songs, let us know. We will use your playlist to create a smooth, well-paced celebration that reflects your style.
This is the fun part! Our online planning portal and music tools make it easy to personalize every part of your wedding day. You can select music for your ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, specialty dances, and reception.
You can also share your must-play songs, do-not-play list, and favorite dance floor tracks. You do not need to plan every song or organize the entire evening yourself. Give us a sense of the music you love, and your DJ will use that direction to create a smooth, energetic, and memorable celebration.
Believe it or not, planning your entertainment can be easy.
Most couples have never planned a wedding before, so it is completely normal to have questions. Fortunately, we do this every week. Our online planning tools guide you through the important details, including your timeline, introductions, specialty dances, music selections, announcements, and reception preferences.
Our team will be available throughout the process to answer questions, offer guidance, and help bring your vision to life.
Yes. You will select your DJ before booking, and that DJ will work with you throughout the planning process. Building that relationship helps your DJ understand your music preferences, timeline, priorities, and vision for the event.
In many cases, yes. Overtime depends on your venue restrictions and your DJ’s availability. It is usually more cost-effective to add time before the wedding rather than during the event, so let us know as early as possible if you think your celebration may run longer.
We understand that wedding plans can evolve. Contact our office at 919-346-4669 or email us at info@stylusevents.us if you need to adjust your timeline, services, date, or venue.
We will do our best to accommodate your request based on availability and the terms of your booking agreement.
Every couple has a different vision for their wedding, and our goal is to understand what matters most to you. During the consultation, we will learn about your style, priorities, and music preferences so we can help match you with the right DJ.
We love working with couples who are excited to create a memorable celebration that feels personal, polished, and genuinely fun.
Your DJ is officially reserved once you sign the booking agreement and submit your retainer. We will send your proposal electronically, and you can complete the booking process through our online portal.
To get started, call us at 919-346-4669 or email info@stylusevents.us.
Your final price will depend on the services, enhancements, and level of support you choose. Because every wedding is different, we customize each proposal around your venue, timeline, and event vision.
Most Stylus wedding packages range from $1,600 to $4,500+. For pricing and availability, fill out the contact form, call us at 919-346-4669 or email info@stylusevents.us.
