ABOUT DARBY EVENTS

My name is Stephen, but often called “Darby” in the wedding world. I was voted the #1 wedding DJ in Charleston by my fellow wedding vendors and that means a lot to me. I’d love to show you more about what I do and would love to be a part of your celebration!

It’s an honor to be a part of such special occasions, and we’re grateful to our clients for choosing us!

WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT

For many years I have worked hard to set myself apart from other wedding DJs in Charleston. by providing something unique and different. I also was fortunate to be voted by my peers as the #1 best wedding DJ in Charleston, SC. I am originally from Atlanta, Georgia and have been entertaining audiences all over the country for over a decade. Everything you are about to see is from a wedding or event that I’ve been a part of in the last 8 years alongside colleagues, friends and the finest wedding and event professionals in the country. Here is my story.

DARBY EVENTS BACKGROUND

As a classical pianist from the College of Charleston, I have found my niche in incorporating live piano instrumentation while DJing. If you have a moment, take a look at my section of VIDEOS and I can demonstrate how! Although I incorporate live piano, DJing is truly the foundation of what I do.  All in all, my incorporation of live piano makes me very unique and has certainly helped me become the top wedding DJ in Charleston. That being said,  I like to stress that my ability as a DJ is the backbone of my performance. 

OUR APPROACH IS DIEFFERENT AND EXPERIENCE IS UNMATCHED

I work one on one with my couples as the only entertainer at my company and am not a booking agent. This allows me to provide my clients and couples with a much more personalized service and planning process for their wedding or event. More so, I’m able to provide better value without the overhead or advertising expenses that large booking agencies and Dj companies have to cover. You can have peace of mind knowing that I will be the one at your wedding, not some other DJ you have never met.

Over the years I have been fortunate enough to produce music and perform next to the world’s top internationally ranked DJs and musicians, including DJ Tiesto, “party-rockers” LMFAO, Porter Robinson, Cassidy Pope, Darius Rucker, Zedd, Chris Brown and many many others. See IMAGES.

These days I focus on being the best possible wedding DJ in Charleston. My high-energy approach to entertainment has allowed me to perform at 1000’s of  weddings and events to date. As I like to mention, DJing is the foundation of what I do but my piano adds a “live” experience that simply DJing itself cannot provide. This unique hybrid approach has given me the opportunity to perform at nationally recognized weddings and events and even for celebrities. Most rewarding, I have DJ’d for over a dozen wedding planners getting married themselves and it’s an honor to be their first choice as the one trusted to entertain their friends and family.

Another distinction between myself and any other wedding DJ in Charleston is the way I mix, match and blend music. I have become well known for my unique “mash-ups” and love harmonically mixing and matching instrumentals and acapellas as well as playing unique mixes of original classics from all different eras all genres. As a result, I have found the recipe for success in making people from 25 to 65 party on the same dance floor. Overall, I want to use my expertise to make your event stand out. Check out “The Music” page!

All in all, my niche style of DJing and incorporation of live piano instrumentation adds something special that guests of all ages are always intrigued by. The entertainment at your wedding or event is very important and I would love to share what I do with you and your guests. Out of all the DJs in Charleston, SC, no one will work harder to make sure that you have the best day of your life and my past couples would love to tell you all about it! FAQ’S AND REVIEWS.

 

I’ve spent a decade perfecting my craft and creating something unique. When I see the impact my music has on people, I know this is what I was meant to do.

– STEPHEN DARBY

The Beginning

I began this journey as a classical pianist and have always loved creating music. Once I discovered the art of mixing two songs together, I was completely hooked.

Finding My Style

One day when I was working on a song with a fellow producer and playing melody lines on a piano, we had a eureka moment and said, “Why don’t you just do that on the piano live?” I then introduced the live piano on stage while I was DJing and have never looked back.

A New Generation

Since then I have fine-tuned my approach to music and performance and have created a niche type of entertainment by fusing live piano and harmonic DJ mixing. I work every day to perfect my craft and be the very best of all Charleston wedding DJs. Being able to rock out for wedding couples and event guests all over the country is the best job on the planet and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
