This Venue

What a beautiful Raleigh wedding! This wedding is a reminder that simple, clean and elegant is an amazing option! The Barn at Valhalla is absolutely gorgeous. The team there was amazing at making the venue immaculate. Here is the shot of the night! We love to see our people having an unforgettable time. This is why we keep going!

WOW! These photographs really are phenomenal. They really do capture the love and support that every newlywed couple needs. These are the photos that remind us that we are never alone even when we feel like we are. Thank you all for a beautiful evening!

We Were Warned

We were warned there would be a lot of dancing. And that’s something we hear from time to time in this business. But we didn’t realize there would be this much dancing. We’re not complaining though. It’s our job to get people up and moving. It’s just always awesome when everyone is trying to throw down.

We can’t say enough about this venue either. The refurbished barns can sometimes be tricky with our equipment. But everything went perfectly. And without having to worry about our equipment, we can focus all our energies on the couple. A good venue truly is key to a problem-free wedding. And we’ve got nothing but great things to say about this one.

We can’t thank everyone involved in this wedding enough. It really was our pleasure to work with all of these awesome vendors. Here’s to many more!

Final Thoughts

When we hear that a wedding will be either outside or in a barn, we can be a little wary. So we went into this not knowing exactly what to expect. However, we shouldn’t have been worried at all. Everyone working together brought out the best in all the vendors. All things considered, there was nothing that didn’t go perfectly.

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.

In conclusion, we’ve learned that being a wedding DJ 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.

A Rave at the Lofts

[A Rave at the Lofts originally posted by Dow Oak Events — High Point’s Best Wedding DJ]

“My husband and I were completely blown away by Erik and the Dow Oak team! They did a wonderful job and were so professional! They were able to provide multiple setups for our wedding and transition between them seamlessly. Dow Oak definitely went above and beyond for us. Our dance floor was packed all night long. All in all, the experience was remarkable and we would highly suggest Dow Oak to anyone!” –The Knot

Full-on Rave

This wedding was seriously stunning. Everything looked amazing. But what really made it was the floral arrangements. These succulents came all the way from Holland! Not only did everything look amazing, but also the venue was awesome to work in. Everyone worked together towards one goal: making the day the best possible for the newlyweds.

And we definitely had a good time at this wedding. With all the vendors helping, everything went off without a hitch. When everyone works together, we can make everything go as smoothly as possible. For instance, we even brought water to the partying bride and groom so they didn’t have to leave the dance floor!

Guest Appearances

After the ceremony, we transitioned into a full-on rave. We also helped organize a guest appearance by another well-known DJ, Marshmello. With the help of the bride, we were able to bring a favorite DJ of the groom’s onto the team for this one. The groom was definitely surprised! A night of dancing, drinks, and donuts… what more could we want? That is to say, this couple and all the vendors are what made this party at The Lofts.

With the help of all our DJs, we kept the dance floor packed all night. In conclusion, thanks to the awesome lighting and amazing music, everyone had a great time.

Final Thoughts

Everything is better when people work together. This wedding proves that. Above all, it was team work that made this wedding such a success. However, it was not just with us and the other vendors either. But bringing in a surprise guest DJ and coordinating it with the bride smoothly? That definitely takes some teamwork to pull off. And it went flawlessly.

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.

All of the Uniqueness!

Worth Our Weight in Gold!

Dang, this says so much about Mason’s skill set and what he will do to go above and beyond for his clients.

This dance floor was the hypest of hype! For instance, the MUST PLAY list was all the rockers from Lionel Richie and Whitney to Chris Stapleton and The Gorillaz! In summary: all of the classics and more. This was a playlist that definitely got people moving. That’s what we love to see.

Completely Unforgettable

This is one of the coolest Raleigh weddings we’ve ever been to. There was an arcade before the reception, and the grand exit featured smoke bombs. It was so ridiculously awesome. The ideas for this wedding were so original and we loved it. Of course, as always, it’s so incredible to be a part of someone’s special day. We always love being able to see all of the different ways people decide to celebrate their love. In other words, there is absolutely no way we’ll ever forget this one.

Also, it is the most fun when we see EVERYONE dancing and having the time of their lives! This is what makes our job so important to us!

All of the vendors did a fabulous job at making this a success story. The food, pictures, flowers, the venue for setting it all up and keeping it going all the way down to the transportation service who delivered our couple of the night and their loved ones safe and sound! Cheers to many more!!!

Final Thoughts

We can’t stress enough how memorable this wedding was. We talk a lot about couples making their weddings their own with personal touches. However, we haven’t seen another with more personal touches than this one.

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.
