The night they never stop talking about.

Above All Else Entertainment runs the music, the sound, the lighting and the livestream for weddings, galas and festivals across North Carolina. One team. One number.


If people are in a room and it needs to feel like something, it is on this list.

  • Weddings
  • Corporate galas
  • Charity fundraisers
  • Community festivals
  • Corporate seminars
  • Product launches
  • Private parties
  • Birthday parties
  • Comedy nights
  • Church events
  • Reunions
  • Anniversary parties
  • Hybrid summits
  • Graduations
  • Holiday parties

Four production lines. One crew on your floor.

Most clients book two or three of these together, which is the point. Nobody hands off, nobody blames the other vendor, and nothing arrives at the venue unaccounted for.

DJ, VJ & Karaoke

A floor that fills early and stays full.

Details

We read the room instead of running a playlist. Your set is built around your people, your moments, and the order you want the night to move in. Guests can weigh in before the date and on the night, and the screens carry the visuals while the music carries the rest.

  • A set built from your list, your do-not-play list, and the crowd in front of us
  • MC hosting that moves the night forward without hijacking it
  • Live song requests and karaoke when you want the room to take over

Event Sound & Lighting

The part nobody notices until it is wrong.

Details

Sound that carries to the back wall without punishing the front row. Lighting designed around the run of show, so the room changes when the moment changes. It starts with an on-site look at your venue, and it ends with us mixing live until the last song.

  • An on-site consultation first, so the acoustics and the layout drive the design
  • Lighting plots cued to your timeline, not left on one static wash
  • High-fidelity speakers, mixers and subs matched to the room

Live Entertainment & Promotions

Programming, not just background.

Details

Musicians, dancers, comedians and emcees, booked and programmed to fit your theme and your brand. We handle the concept, the lineup and the on-site coordination so the program runs itself, and we stay with it after the last act.

  • Musicians, dancers, comedians and emcees, matched to your theme and your audience
  • Custom-branded games, interactive contests and photo activations that pull guests in
  • Interactive segments that involve the room instead of talking at it


300+

Weddings, corporate gatherings and community festivals since we opened the doors.


4

Music, sound and lighting, live programming, and streaming. One team covers all four.


NC

Based in Goldsboro and working the whole state, from coastal venues to the mountains.

How a night with us actually goes.

Three steps. The third one is the only one your guests ever see.

Call (984) 310-9900
  1. 1

    Call and hold the date

    Tell us the date, the venue and roughly how many people. We tell you straight away whether we can cover it and what it takes.

  2. 2

    We plan the run of show

    Music direction, lighting cues, the program, and the stream if you want one. You approve it before anything gets loaded into a truck.

  3. 3

    We run the night

    We load in early, tune the room, and stay on the floor until the last song. You get to be a guest at your own event.


Feedback from events we have run, carried over from our previous site and lightly edited for length.

Our gala was the first one where people did not start leaving at nine. I do not know what they did to the lighting but the room looked like a different venue by dessert. Our offices overseas watched the whole thing live.
Charlotte Corporate gala
They played our list. That sounds like a low bar until you have been to a wedding where the DJ played his.
Jackson Wedding reception
I had run this fundraiser four times before and it was the first year I got to sit down. Donors stayed through the ask, which never happens, and the people watching from home actually gave.
Raleigh Charity fundraiser
Outdoor sound is usually a compromise. Ours was not. Every act started on time, nothing cut out, and I never once had to go find somebody.
Wayne Outdoor festival
Half our attendees were on a screen and none of them acted like it. Questions came in from both rooms and got answered in the same conversation. Numbers landed in my inbox before I had finished breakfast.
Hunter Hybrid summit

What does Above All Else Entertainment do?

Above All Else Entertainment, LLC is an entertainment company in Goldsboro, North Carolina. We run DJ, VJ and karaoke, event sound and lighting design, live entertainment and promotions, and multi-camera live streaming for weddings, galas and festivals across the state. Book any one line or all four.

Do you travel outside Goldsboro?

Yes. We work across North Carolina. Call with your venue and date and we will tell you straight away whether we can cover it.

What does a DJ cost for a wedding in North Carolina?

It depends on the hours, the guest count, and whether you add lighting design or a livestream. There is no flat number that would be honest. Call (984) 310-9900 and we will price your actual night.

Do you bring your own sound and lighting equipment?

Yes. We bring speakers, mixers, subs, wireless microphones and the lighting rig, and we tune all of it to your room before doors open.

Can you livestream an event that is also happening in person?

Yes. Hybrid events are one of the things we do most. Remote guests get multi-camera coverage, board-fed audio, and live chat and Q and A, so they are part of the room instead of watching it.

Do you do karaoke?

Yes. Karaoke runs on the same rig as the DJ set, so we can hand the room the microphone at any point in the night and take it back cleanly.

How far ahead should we book?

Dates go first come, first served, and weekends move fastest. The only way to know about your date is to call and ask.

Who will actually be at our event?

The same team you talk to on the phone. Marcelle Williams runs Above All Else Entertainment, LLC and you deal with the people who will be on your floor.

Tell us the date. We will tell you what it takes.


One call covers the music, the sound, the lighting, the program and the stream. No quote form that disappears into an inbox.
