Heartbeat Events 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,695
  • Serves Portland, OR

I’ve been in the wedding industry since 2017, starting as a DJ where my passion for connecting with people and creating unforgettable experiences led me to wedding planning. I’m a professional planner, DJ, officiant, and bartender with extensive experience in venue management, which helps me ensure every detail is flawless. I specialize in making each wedding unique, blending my expertise in entertainment and coordination to craft events that truly reflect each couple’s vision. I stay current with trends by attending annual conferences and love bringing joy to every celebration.

Rhiannon and her team are BEYOND amazing. At first I hired her because we needed a DJ and having a woman DJ sounded like she’d know exactly what I wanted to hear and how to feel out a room. But then, I needed a coordinator. I was already overwhelmed with a wedding when you have 2 sets of divorced parents and BOOM Rhiannon could do that! She was so consistent and made me think of things I honestly didn’t realize I should think of. Anytime I had a question or any anxiety she would take it away because she knew what she was going. Last minute our officiant couldn’t come to the wedding, and guess who was ALSO an officiant?! Honestly, I’m so grateful for her whole team. I wasn’t anxious on my wedding day, I showed up, married the man I love, and danced the night away. Dont second guess this team, you will not regret them!!

A Beat Above Entertainment

Portland, OR
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,295

I take pride in creating a detailed and relaxed experience for clients, while offering exceptional value. Working with couples is a team experience. You can provide down to the minute details, let me handle everything, or anywhere in between.

A Beat Above Entertainment was a wonderful addition to our wedding day. The DJ, Guy, was very friendly and easy to work with from our first meeting. Communication was always clear, quick, and friendly as we planned the event. He happily accepted the personal playlists we provided and expertly wove our musical tastes throughout the reception. As emcee, Guy kept the flow moving smoothly between moments like the first dance, toasts, without being too much or too little. His mixing and song selections had guests up and dancing the entire time. For the value, his services were awesome. We would highly recommend A Beat Above Entertainment for your event if you want great music and an accommodating professional DJ.

Stumptown Djs 

5.0

Portland, OR
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,250

I love my job. For me, it’s kind of two-fold. One amazing part of the job is knowing that you are part of a couple’s most memorable day of their life—and assuming it goes well, they will remember you for it for the rest of their life. The other part is that I get to run a business and listen to music—two of my deepest passions. So running a DJ company mashes it all together in one great package.

Nothing but 5 stars all around! We had DJ Steven at our wedding a few weeks ago and we’re so happy we did. From his communication through out planning meetings, to his demeanor and helpfulness day of we were grateful he was part of our day. Dance floor was packed all night and many friends complimented on his music choice. Thank you Steven and Stumptown!

Ceremony DJs

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,999
  • Serves Portland, OR

Full custom theme weddings from San Francisco's leading indie DJs. Share your love of music with family and friends. We're here to help you make your wedding sound like the mixtape you exchanged when you first met.

Our experience working with Jamie and Ceremony DJs can be best summed up by the fact that multiple people told us after the ceremony they wanted to book him for their wedding and at least one got his business card! I can't imagine a better DJ, truly. When we first met with Jamie, he said he could make people dance to anything and would keep people on the dance floor all night, and he WAS NOT LYING. The whole night, the dance floor was PACKED even though it was rainy/muddy/cold/wet. Jamie took us on a journey that covered all of the bases of the music we love to hear and dance to, seamlessly and magically (?) integrating genres with the best mixes, it was pure wizardry and really captured who we were. We as a couple care a lot about music and wanted music that represented who we were and what we like to listen to, and he did not disappoint! So much prep work went into this, he took patience and time to try to understand our tastes and vibe, and it was so cool to have the wedding played on vinyl- basically, Jamie just "got it" from start to finish and we had the best time! Our wedding also got delayed due to rain and a road closure and he was such a good sport, staying late to keep us all dancing for a whole other hour- so fun! Also, when our ceremony musician was stuck in traffic due to the storm, he was so prepared and had our prelude/processional music downloaded so we could still walk down the aisle to the songs we'd chosen. Overall, such a cool, kind, funny guy who was professional and prepared in every way and honest just takes time to meet and know his clients, and clearly just loves to share his love of music. I would book him for everything if I could. BOOK THIS DJ. You will NOT regret it!

I could not say more positive things about Dave and his business. The phone call leading up to the day was great and laid out all the options I had and made me feel like we would be on the same page with everything. He helped soo much with the flow of the day and transitioning from one thing to the next with ease. Our guests had so many nice things to say about him and loved his attitude and humor throughout the night. We got married at a lodge on Mt. Bachelor and he handled having to drive up there and back down in the dark so well. I literally can’t imagine things going any better than they went. We truly appreciate and feel so blessed for everything you added to our day. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band.

PDX DJs & PhotoBooth

PDX DJs is a wedding DJ and photo booth company based in Tigard Oregon but serving all of northwest Oregon and Southern Washington. Our DJs strike the perfect balance between professionalism and party! We understand that weddings are unlike any other type of event and we hire and train accordingly! All of our DJs live mix their music and are also fully trained MCs. Contact us today to find out why we're the best in the business!

I highly recommend PDX DJs. The owner Sean is attentive and respectful. I had every question answered when I first signed on to work with PDX DJs. I also loved their transparent pricing - it's pretty rare that a company touts transparent pricing, and actually means it. Especially in the wedding industry, it was such a breath of fresh air to just have a vendor be straightforward, honest, and not try to upsell us or misrepresent pricing/fees etc. Steven was our DJ and he listened to everything we wanted & delivered. I had a very specific timeline including emcee cues & music for the pre ceremony & ceremony, and I was a little nervous that with only one meeting beforehand there was room for error. But these guys are professionals, asked questions about anything that was unclear in our meeting, and executed everything perfectly. We provided our must plays for the reception, and Steven texted me before hand asking if he could swap one of our picks with a remix version of the same song. I'd never heard of the remix but said go ahead! Now that song stands out to me as one of my favorite moments from the reception and is always tied to our wedding day. It was a really sweet personal touch. Thanks for being a part of our wedding, PDX DJs! Pictured: the vibes cultivated on the dance floor

Dancehall Days regularly performs throughout the Western United States, Hawaii, United Kingdom and Bahamas. We have had the pleasure of performing at such beautiful destinations as Fleetwood's On Front Street, Ocean Club - Bahamas, Ritz Carlton - San Francisco, Park Plaza Westminster Bridge - London and Sun Valley Resort.

We cannot recommend Dancehall Days enough! We wish we could get married all over again just for the music. This band absolutely nailed our wedding in Jackson Hole, and we are still in awe of how incredible they were. My husband and I were so focused on having an amazing band that would get everyone dancing and fit our specific music taste. Not only did they travel all the way from Oregon, but they also made the entire process so easy and enjoyable from start to finish. From the moment we reached out to them, they were a breeze to work with—so friendly, professional, and attentive to our needs. They went above and beyond, learning several special songs for us and ensuring every detail was perfect for our big day. The energy they brought to the reception was unmatched, and they kept the dance floor packed all night long. Safe to say we wanted the band to be the highlight of the night, and they were exactly that. And when it came to the Fleetwood Mac (and even some tough Motown!!) covers? They absolutely killed it! We were beyond thrilled with how they brought those iconic songs to life, just as we had hoped. Every song was performed with such passion and skill, and it made for some seriously magical moments. If you're looking for a band that can deliver incredible live music, great vibes, and a personal touch, Dancehall Days is the way to go. They truly helped make our wedding night unforgettable, and we are so grateful for their talent and energy. I can't wait to catch them at one of their gigs and dance the night away again soon! Thank you, Dancehall Days, for making our celebration everything we dreamed of and more! You guys are incredible! See you soon!

The Hook Club was by far the coolest musicians I was able to find in terms of having an NYC night out vibe, and not a typical "wedding" vibe. We had a bass and guitar duo for our cocktail hour. They were super nice and awesome musicians. It started raining an hour into our cocktails so we had to move inside, and the bassist switched to playing a piano so that we could continue the music inside. Everyone was so impressed by how multi-talented they were!! Loved them and wish we had them play music for more of our reception. Dan, the founder, as well as the rest of their staff were incredibly organized and attentive throughout the planning process. Highly recommend!!

Hiring AMP was the all time BEST decision we could have made for our wedding! We had immediate comfort and trust in them from the first time we spoke, and the show they put on for our day was better than we ever could have imagined. They were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the whole process of planning and had no problem with even the most far-fetched ideas (including my wife surprising me by getting up and playing the drums with the band). If we asked each and every person what their favorite part of our wedding was, hands down it was the music. Ana, Jimmy, and the rest of the band had everyone dancing the entire night without question. It was hit after hit after hit with the whole crowd! So many people rushed to us to ask how we got so lucky finding them. Ana and Jimmy truly respected and acknowledged everyone’s pronouns and made everyone in our family and party seen and comfortable through the entire process. AMP put their entire heart and soul into every performance. Their passion is so evident with each song they play, and their energy is just contagious. You cannot help but smile and dance throughout their whole set. And the TALENT! The talent is through the roof!
