Meet Stephen & DARBY EVENTS
Fifteen years ago, I walked into my first Charleston wedding with a simple goal: create something no one had ever experienced before.
Fast-forward to today, and I’ve performed at over 2000 incredible celebrations and weddings all over the world, each one featuring my signature blend of live instrumentation and expert DJing.
From day one, my goal was to become the #1 Charleston wedding DJ.
