The Recap

Every celebration has its own rhythm. Here's a look inside a recent Dow Oak event: the music, the moments, and the people who made the night.

“So happy we went with Dow Oak Events! The music selection was excellent, and they were so respectful and easy to work with. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for amazing DJs!” – Google

All the Hits

party of wedding pre djA dance party we’ll never forget, let me tell you. We were rocking a straight-up party of funk music, all the way from Prince and Earth Wind and Fire to the Bee Gees. And we can’t forget about all the awesome hip hop all-time hits like Gettin’ Jiggy Wid It and Return of the Mac mixed with some newer stuff like Cardi B. There were at least 50 people on the dance floor at any given time, and that’s the way we like it. This Raleigh wedding started low-key but ended up being an absolute rager. Also, on a side note, the first dance song was “Your Song” by Elton John, which nobody ever chooses. But is one of our all-time favorites. So we would say Lee and Sarah had arguably some of the best musical tastes we have come across.

Smooth Sailing

best dj near meSamantha was a “day of” coordinator, but to us, we would have never known. She was so on top of things you would think she had been preparing forever. We LOVE working with vendor teams like this one (and eating great food like what was provided by City Barbeque!). With everyone working together so well, it really did make for an awesome wedding.

Of course, Photography by Katie looks phenomenal. Talk about top-of-the-line work. Without a doubt, we would suggest 10/10.

Thank you and congratulations to Sarah and Lee Dunn. Surely amazing taste makes for an amazing wedding!

Final Thoughts

The music, the food, the dancing… This all came together so well. And that’s all there is to it. It’s amazing when it works out like that. This was one of those times. All the energy and love in the room was electric. Which is something we won’t forget for a long time.

And as a final note, we just need to say… We absolutely love what we do. Being a part of the unique and personal ways couples celebrate is why we do it. And we loved being a part of this celebration. It’s always awesome to see how couples choose to celebrate.

We’ve learned that being a wedding DJ in Raleigh isn’t just about playing the music. So we take our role seriously. Facilitating such a big day is a serious job! That’s why we always give every wedding or event our all.

I am a wedding coordinator with the team at R's Events and I have worked with Dow Oak Events. We shared a wedding at Highland Brewing Company in Asheville, NC. They checked in rather than waiting to be found. They paced the reception properly. Their team was courteous with my staff and the venue's. I would recommend them to any couple!

DJ Tyler was great for our recent wedding! He went above and beyond by checking every detail with us leading up to the wedding. He kept the party going through our whole reception. Highly recommend!

Dj Angel is AMAZING! From the minute we started talking to him, we realized that he was going to be the perfect fit for our wedding. We told him who we were two outgoing fun millennials from New York who really love to party and Man did he deliver! He even mentioned during the phone call that we were completely his vibe. Every song on the must playlist was played, there was not one time during the four hours that I stepped off the dance floor for even a second. He kept the hits coming all night long. When I asked for the microphone to do Ludacris’s part during the song, baby, he did not hesitate. And when he played cut the mozzarella and saw the panic in my eyes as I was looking for my groom, he got on the microphone personally, got his attention, calling him to the dance floor and then restarted the song. His attention to every detail was on point, and when I got to the venue, he was the first vendor that I walked over to and said hi, 10/10 absolutely amazing
