Bright Entertainment

Bright Entertainment Providing quality dj services to Jacksonville/Onslow County and surrounding areas for 25+ years. There I got exposure to yearly growing crowds in the thousands.

Our team is energetic, professional, and experienced in making your event not only a success, but an experience that will last a lifetime. The company started out in 1998 with nothing more than a passion for being a DJ, and a love for all types of music. After a small personal loan I purchased some over priced, and out dated speakers, a couple of old front loading cd players, an amplifier, a mixer, and any music I could find at local pawn shops and music stores.(Millennials have no idea what a music store is ) After a few free or demo gigs, I finally booked my first gig with MCCS at Camp Lejeune . As my company grew and became more popular, my now close friend Carol Jamison became the chairperson for Onslow County Relay For Life. Ten years later I had been a DJ at nightclubs, bars, weddings, company gatherings, charity events, Marine Corps Balls, and everything in between. I was so busy I had to add 3 DJs to help cover all the events I had booked. It was some of the best times of my DJ career. Now nearly 20 years into this I have a few folks that help. But I realized that people were not hiring "Bright Entertainment", they were hiring "DJ Ernie". Many of the deejays that worked with me have either changed careers or successfully started their own DJ companies.I still have a few folks helping me with larger events. But these days when people book Bright Entertainment, they get the original dancing DJ...also known as simply Ernie or DJ Ernie. I am Bright Entertainment. I would like to add this short thank you to some special people that have made this business a success for nearly two decades. First and foremost Carol & Russ Jamison, Laurie & Richard Lamotte, Christina Wright & Berkshire Hathaway HomeServicesChoice Realty, Susie Montag & Choice Realty, Judy Lewis, Nikki Dyba, Ihor Sywanyk, George & Anne Olivero, Jim Chartier & all of 2AAV, Kristi & Adam and countless couples that trusted us with their most special day! Lastly all the DJs that contributed through the years. To be continued.....

When you're the biggest Fan of your biggest Fan! ~ Saturday I celebrated another milestone with my #1 Fan. Calm down everyone she's happily married (not to me). I call her Nikki, and I was her wild single days DJ, then a little over a year ago I was the DJ for her wedding. Then her husband hired me to DJ her 80s themed birthday party! Thank you Matthew Roby & Nikki!

We assume Ciera Macri must have come from someplace like New York City or New England, because homie don’t take no crap. Ciera can wrangle a herd of drunk groomsmen with one hand tied behind her back and wouldn’t bat an eye when making a playlist for a prom, pleasing every high schooler’s taste in a 2 mile radius. Don’t let her no-nonsense feistiness fool you, not only is she as professional as they come, but underneath it all, she has a heart of gold. Ciera adds balance to our team, in a lot of ways I’m not sure I could even explain. First, she was a BE bride and then she was a BE DJ. It’s a tale as old as time.

Kinda love this AI version of me. But i hate the way it goofed the b.e. logo. What do you think? Do you love it or hate it, find it comical, or disturbing?

It’s a rare Saturday that we don’t have any events, but everyone knows August is hotter than a jalapeño covered in hotsause, served in a bowl of lava. We cannot wait to get behind our decks and rock the weddings, parties, and events on our upcoming fall schedule!

A little BTS for your viewing pleasure. What would you ask the b.e. team given the opportunity?
Best question will get some cool b.e. swag.

Logan is our pro assistant. He joined the BE crew 4 years ago, when he was just in middle school!! On our team, he’s the younger brother, but never an annoying one! You’re never going to meet a more polite, kind or hard-working teenager in this whole country. And speaking of countries, ours is lucky to have Logan! A long time student of JROTC, he has been training for years for his next adventure: enlisting in the Air Force after he graduated a whole year early! Logan will be gone from us sooner than we would like. We hope he never forgets us little people when he’s rich and famous someday. No matter what he does after BE, he’s always been a hero to us and we’ll miss him very much!! We have been so blessed to have him as a part of the crew!

Meghan & Richard (Ricky) chose a beautiful day, and an equally beautiful venue to tie the knot. Grove & Vine in Oriental NC. The weather was hot, but the dancefloor was even hotter as the day turned into night. This is just a snippet of all the fun.

Are you a school administrator, club leader, or part of a parent planning committee? 🎧

If you are currently organizing a homecoming dance, prom, club-sponsored event, or school fundraiser, don't overlook the entertainment. It pays to hire a high-quality DJ who possesses the specific experience and expertise required to engage various student age groups.

The students care about the music and the vibe—and as organizers, we should too. Let's make the next event unforgettable! ✨
