Cross and Main Wedding DJ | All Around Raleigh DJ

Julie & Keith had an amazing wedding ceremony and wedding reception at Cross + Main wedding venue on a wonderful Spring day in Youngsville, NC. After their very touching wedding ceremony the couple took some time with their wedding photographer, Joe Payne, to get some amazing shots nearby which included some great small town shots and even some in the nearby green fields. When they all got back it was DJ Michael’s turn to take over and he smoothly moved the evening along from dinner to toasts, cake cutting and special dances all the way into the dancing and bouquet and garter toss and eventually Julie and Keith’s grand exit. Make sure you check out the great team of vendors below and Joe’s great photos of the perfect wedding photos. Thanks for reading!

Julie & Keith’s Review of All Around Raleigh DJ on Wedding Wire

“I worked with All Around Raleigh DJ for our wedding … 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!”

Sometimes clients hire us only a few weeks before their event and sometimes they reach out to us very early in the process. Ashley & Patrick hired us almost a year before their wedding because they REALLY wanted to have an amazing wedding reception that flowed smoothly and was a blast for all age groups on their wedding day…and they got it!

Ashley & Patrick’s had their small town feeling wedding reception out at the lovely Cross + Main in Youngsville, NC. They did their staged photos with Veritas Digital Photography out on Main Street with all of the quaint small town signs and storefronts. Then they moved inside for the reception.

The buffet by Rocky Top Catering was amazing, of course! Ashley and Patrick have very diverse musical tastes. The Grand Entrance was to ‘Uptown Funk’ by Bruno Mars then we shifted into the first dance which was to the lovely tune ‘Unchained Melody’ by Elvis Presley with the Mother/Son and Father/Daughter dances to ‘My Wish’ by Rascal Flatts and ‘I Loved Her First’ by Heartland respectively.

There were two things that really made this wedding unique: they made it very clear to us that it was important to incorporate their older guests into the wedding dancing so played a lot of fun older dance tunes, but after all IT IS a wedding, so things got a little out rowdy as the night went on. Also the toasts from Ashely sister, who was her Maid of Honor and Patrick’s Best Man were AMAZING! We’ve got some great shots on our trademark vintage microphone (which we made wireless!) in the photos below.
