About Joey's DJ Service

Joey's DJ Service

Bands & DJs

I am DJ Joey B, owner of Joey’s DJ Service based in Durham, NC. I have been DJing professionally since 2005, with weddings as a major focus of my work. On your wedding day, I serve as both DJ and Master of Ceremonies, guiding the timeline, managing transitions, and keeping guests engaged from ceremony through the final song. I provide professional sound, wireless microphones, and clean lighting to support the full experience. Planning is clear and streamlined with an online portal for music selections, Do Not Play songs, and key details.

Couples often say they feel calm and confident throughout the planning process because I am responsive, attentive, and proactive. I focus on the details, including specific song versions and the timing of key moments, so nothing feels rushed or overlooked. When it is time to dance, I read the room in real time and adjust the music so guests of all ages stay engaged and included. If plans shift due to weather or timing, I adapt quickly to keep everything moving smoothly. My goal is simple: a steady timeline, a full dance floor, and a celebration that feels completely like you.

    AMAZING DJ

    Choosing Joey's DJ Service was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our first conversation, Joey was clear about what he could do and got back to us fast whenever we had questions. On the day of, he showed why he's worth every penny—when unexpected delays threw off our timeline, he adjusted announcements on the fly and kept everything running smooth. His sound system was excellent and his song choices really set the right tone for each part of the night. He had a gift for knowing exactly when to play guest requests and when to stick with his own picks, which kept the energy up the whole time and the dance floor lively. We can't thank Joey enough for making our reception feel so put together and fun.

    Must book!

    From our first conversation, Joey's DJ Service proved to be responsive and detail-oriented, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. On our wedding day, Joey showed up fully prepared with flawless equipment and a solid game plan that went beyond our expectations. He read the crowd perfectly, adjusting the music throughout the night to keep our guests dancing and engaged. Beyond the music, Joey handled all the speeches and introductions with confidence, giving our ceremony moments the attention they deserved. We never had a single technical issue or awkward silence, which speaks to his professionalism. Joey made our reception feel effortless and fun, and we'd absolutely recommend him to any couple looking for a DJ who genuinely cares about making their night special.

    Krissy, thank you so much for the kind words! I truly enjoyed being part of your and Alex’s wedding at Hope Valley. From the ceremony through the last dance, it was such a fun night, and I loved seeing your family and friends out on the dance floor all evening. Thank you both for trusting me with such an important day!

    Prefect wedding day!

    From the moment we booked Joey's DJ Service, we knew we made the right choice. They stayed in touch throughout the planning process and answered every question we had without any confusion or delays. On the day of our wedding, Joey showed up prepared and professional, making sure we had everything we needed to get started on time. The music was perfectly timed and kept our guests dancing all night long. We got exactly what we paid for with no surprises, and honestly, the value was unbeatable. We can't thank Joey and his team enough for making our reception so special.

    Grace & Brennan, Thank you both so much for the incredibly kind words and for trusting Joey’s DJ Service with such an important day. I’m so glad you felt supported throughout the planning process and that everything felt smooth and stress free leading up to the wedding. That level of communication and preparation is something I work very hard to provide for every couple. Once the reception started, your guests brought amazing energy to the dance floor all night long, and it was so much fun helping create a celebration that reflected the two of you. I truly appreciate the trust you placed in me and the entire team. Thank you again for the wonderful review, and congratulations to you both!

    A mildly flawed, but overall great experience

    I liked Joey as soon as we talked as he seemed to understand our vision. There were a few misshaps that day (forgot to play our song after the ceremony, played a song overlaying ours at our first dance, and then songs at the end of the night I did not request). But he’s a really good guy and definitely cares about his job. We were dancing all night!

    Thank you so much, Laura. It was truly a pleasure being part of your wedding day. You and Daniel created such a personal and fun celebration, and I’m so glad everyone was out on the dance floor all night. I also appreciate your grace regarding the couple of mistakes during the evening. While no event is ever completely perfect, I always want every moment to go exactly as planned, and I take those situations seriously. I’m grateful for how relaxed and good humored you both were throughout the night. Your wedding had so many memorable moments, and I’m thankful I had the opportunity to be part of it. Wishing you and Daniel all the best as you start this next chapter together.

Most couples book 9 to 15 months in advance, especially for spring and fall weddings. Once your venue is secured, it is a good time to confirm your DJ. Popular dates tend to fill early.
Yes. Ceremony coverage includes a dedicated sound system, a wireless lavalier microphone for the officiant, and an additional wireless microphone for vows or readings as needed. Music begins 30 minutes prior to the ceremony as guests arrive. I coordinate each cue, including processional and recessional timing, so transitions feel smooth and intentional.
You will receive access to a custom planning portal where you can share music selections, special dances, timeline details, and Do Not Play songs. The portal keeps everything organized in one place so nothing is overlooked. We review your selections together before the wedding to confirm versions, timing, and key moments.
Yes. I encourage you to share the music you love and the songs you prefer to avoid. I also take guest requests when they align with your preferences and the energy of the room.
Weddings rarely run exactly on schedule. I adjust in real time and coordinate announcements and transitions to keep the evening organized and natural. Whether dinner runs long or weather causes a shift, I adapt without drawing attention to the change so the focus stays on your celebration.
A signed agreement and a 25 percent retainer secure your date. Payments are handled through the planning portal for a simple and organized process. The remaining balance is due one week before the wedding. Once booked, you will receive access to begin organizing your timeline and music details.
