Sara & Yaseen’s Egyptian Wedding at Carolina Inn Hill Ballroom in Chapel Hill, NC

Sarah & Yaseen’s Egyptian Wedding at The Carolina Inn Hill Ballroom by Krystal Kast Photography

 

We may have went just a tad crazy on the photos of this amazing wedding at The Carolina Inn Hill Ballroom but can you blame us? Look at all these beautiful shots from the team at Krystal Kast Photography. Sara & Yaseen were so much fun to work with and put total trust in an amazing team of vendors. They let us provide them with DJ, uplighting and table/floral pin spot lighting. The result was a classy, beautiful and discreet lighting design. The stunning centerpieces by Watered Garden were lit using 50 pin spot lights and the walls were lit using 20 uplights that were programmed to transition the dance floor from classy and romantic to a fun and energizing color changes that matched the beat of the music once the party started which is the best of both worlds! A big shout out to Elizabeth and A Southern Soiree for their excellent work coordinating so much awesomeness into this wedding and making it look easy. Our favorite wedding videographer, Morgan Scott Films, absolutely blew them away with their wedding video below. Please watch and check out how much fun everyone had during the traditional Egyptian Zaffa wedding celebration grand entrance.

A truly stunning wedding for an amazing couple. Congratulations Sara & Yaseen and best wishes!

 

Sara’s review of our service on Wedding Wire:

5 STARS! “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!”

Bry & Jonathan’s Wedding at Market Hall Park View

Bry & Jonathan by f8 Photo Studios

Where to start with one of our new favorite weddings of all time!  Bry & Jonathan enjoyed a timeless wedding at Market Hall Park View surrounded by their best friends and family.  It was a perfect night with cold temps outside but a nice warm atmosphere and lighting inside.  The wedding professional team lead by Timeless Events made the night smooth and fun for everyone.

The evening started with a very well coordinated grand entrance by the bridal party with different songs and fun choreographed dances by each couple.  The bride and groom enjoyed their first dance to ‘The Time of My Life’ while their guests all sang along and swayed. Bry and her dad then surprised everyone with a mashup Father/Daughter dance!  After dinner and toasts they cut the cake provided by Love Cake and we got the party started with the traditional Jewish Hora and, just like that, the dance floor was the place to be all night. You’re going to love the photos below from f8 Photo Studios.  The uplighting in warm candlelight and the ceremony string light chuppah were both provided by All Around Raleigh DJ.  We really enjoyed designing and installing the lighting for this wonderful couple.

Mazel Tov to Bry & Jonathan!

 

Debra’s Review (Bry’s Mom) on Wedding Wire:

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.
