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!

Paradox Productions 

5.0

Portland, OR
  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,000

Operating out of Portland, Oregon, Paradox Productions is a team of exceptionally professional and dedicated wedding DJs and MCs. They are well known for bringing together people of all ages through their variety of music and ability to pack dance floors at special celebrations. Their impressive work has received recognition and the team was voted Portland's Best DJ by Oregon Bride Magazine and Premiere Bride Magaze, with individual team members nominated as Best DJ by Willamette Week every year. The company has been providing their services locally as well as throughout Oregon and Washington since 2006.

Zacch from Paradox Productions was the the best choice we could have made for our wedding entertainment. His expertise in event conduction and his ability to smile in the face of chaos kept everything organized and on track, even when the weather threw us a curveball. He helped redirect guests seamlessly when we had to adjust the schedule due to high winds and rain. His musical selections were spot on, providing great background music during dinner and keeping guests engaged on the dancefloor with an intuitive mix of songs we requested along with well-timed classics. Zacch went above and beyond by playing music late into the night after being informed by the camp hosts that he would need to spend the night at the venue due to an atmospheric river and downed trees blocking the road. He kept the party going as late as he could and afterwards spent time chatting fireside as the night wound down. Zacch has a charisma that keeps even your most ornery guests engaged and well behaved. He’s an excellent person on and off the turntable.

Chad Dowling Productions 

5.0

Portland, OR
  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,495

An award-winning Northwest favorite for over 30 years! DJ, Entertainer, & Emcee. ​Chad's experience as a "On Air" radio personality & a mobile DJ have made him one of the best DJ Entertainers in Oregon & the Northwest. Chad Dowling knows how to please & entertain almost any audience to keep them engaged, & dancing all night long!!

When planning our wedding, we knew we wanted the music to be epic! Music is so important to my now husband Ryan and me. We wanted a packed dance floor, but we also wanted to incorporate our Jewish culture and even play some of our psych-rock faves, plus the odd request from our parents. It was a tall request! Chad handled it like a champ and created a playlist that checked our boxes and got everyone on the dance floor! When working with Chad, it's apparent that he had an enormous knowledge of music and DJing, as well as the intricacies of events and hosting. He had so many great suggestions and understood what we wanted and more! He even incorporated our weird sense of humor into our playlist. For example, we mentioned in our wedding vows a joke about rickrolling, and he added Never Gonna Give You Up to our playlist! It was amazing! At the last minute, we found out that our venue would be less involved in the day of coordination than we had previously thought. We had recruited some cousins to help, but when we told Chad and his wife/superstar partner in crime, Gretchen, about it, Gretchen stepped up to the plate without missing a beat. She coordinated our processional and the entrance to our reception. It was amazing! It meant so much to us that Chad and Gretchen would go above and beyond to ensure our wedding was perfect. 11/10, we would hire them again. We have nothing but the best things to say about Chad and Gretchen. We know they'll do everything possible to make your event extraordinary and customized to your taste.

Ceremony DJs 

5.0

  • 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!

Sheila kept the dance floor packed all night with her awesome song selection and mixing skills. She knew just how to read the crowd to keep the party going. A real pro that knows how to liven up a wedding! One of the best parts was how Sheila integrated funny commentary throughout the night that had all our guests laughing.

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. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

Mobile DJ serving Oregon & Washington since 1987. I enjoy helping create a memorable and magical day for every client. My clients are like family. we spend quality time together to make sure every details is handled!

We have used Craig w/Hi Fidelity for 2 weddings over the years - he is so much more than a typical DJ! He has a way of engaging with the audience that is amazing. He is able to get people involved and dancing that would typically just watch or leave at that point. I have been to many weddings over the years but have never been to any that are more FUN than the ones he’s DJ’d. He had the entirety of guests laughing and participating until the very end when the venue told us we had to wrap it up for the night. I had a guest write me a letter afterwards thanking me for having such a fun wedding reception; he is 70 yrs old and stated that this was the best wedding he’d ever been to in his entire life! Wow. That’s a huge statement. Craig deserves this praise! Craig also served as a master of ceremony for the entire day. He helped coordinate people and things so the entire wedding day was not only smooth and efficient but relatively stress free. That was a huge help/relief for this mother of the bride. I can’t say enough good things about Craig & Hi Fidelity Entertainment. They are the best DJ type service out there and I wouldn’t use anyone else. Worth every penny we spent on his services!! 5 star recommendation!!

Then, they kept everyone engaged and entertained for the reception, from my aunt in a walker to my college friends twerking. We danced the night away but lost our voices from screaming along with the songs too. 10/10 you can’t go wrong with dueling pianos - DJs and wedding bands are out, Felix & Fingers is IN!

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!

I am a wedding photographer who has shot and worked hundreds of weddings, and I'm not being biased when I say, Craig with Silicon Forest Entertainment is the best DJ company I've ever worked with. He is extremely professional and incredibly confident on the microphone, which is a talent not everyone has. He knows music and can read a crowd so well. As another vendor, working with him is so smooth and he's incredibly considerate of the timing of each event with each vendor in mind. I always know that if I'm working a wedding with Craig, not only will the clients be thrilled, the guests will rave about the good time, and all of us vendors will work flawlessly as a team. I recommend him to all my wedding couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
We absolutely loved working with The Hook Club. Our amazing planner, Greenhouse Events, recommended THC, and we were sold immediately after meeting with Dan. He is super relaxed, nice, and so knowledgable. Dan and THC team made planning super easy for us. They took time to hear about our hopes and helped recommend different band sizes for us. We hadn’t heard of a DJ band before, but loved the idea of some live music with the versatility to play all sorts of music, but our venue wasn’t very big and we also didn’t want to break the bank and hire a huge band. We chose the 4 piece DJ band with singer, sax, drums, and DJ. We knew we LOVED the sax, so we also had the sax play for cocktail hour (shout out to Elijah, who was amazing), and it was one of the best parts of the night. For planning music, they sent out a very detailed and thorough spreadsheet with more songs than one could imagine, and we could rate ones we liked the most, choose ones we definitely wanted or didn't, and choose specific songs for important moments. We met a couple times to review music choices as well. One of our biggest fears with a DJ was that they'd talk too much and be a little annoying, but Dan did a great job as MC, and was very low-key like we asked but announced important moments clearly. Dan and all the musicians had such great energy and got everyone on the dance floor. Our vocalist, Christen, was also amazing — her voice was spectacular, and she was such an amazing performer and got everyone involved in the music and dancing. So many people told us how much they loved the music and the energy, and had never heard of a DJ band but thought it was an amazing concept and the addition of live music over tracks added extra excitement and fun. THC also helped out with lighting (uplights and dance lights), and worked with our fantastic planner and the venue to help us decide the best setup. Ultimately, we loved working with THC. Their DJ-band setup is unique and adds so much variety to your music while allowing for some of the energy that comes from live performers. We danced the night away and had an absolute blast. 100% would recommend THC to anyone!

Joe was exactly what we wanted for our wedding. He was easy to work with, great communication, punctual, well dressed, and most importantly sounded great! We had a custom request of "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran and he took the time to learn it for us and turned out exactly as we hoped. HIGHLY recommend CelloJoe!

Nothing but amazing things to say about Erica from start to finish. We picked a few songs from her great playlist and then Erica learned a few songs for us. Everyone just loved Erica and were raving about her performance. Erica played during dinner and then played our first dance songs which was just so special and intimate. Highly highly recommend!!

PortaPixie Events was an exceptional wedding band and DJ for our special day. From the first time we spoke with them, their communication was detailed, friendly, and constant, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding, they were incredibly fun, exceptional, and accommodating - they were super flexible and adjusted to some timeline changes! Even though the last song of the night had already played, some of the guests still wanted to dance, so Matt continued to play some hits and even let us do some impromptu karaoke! We couldn't have asked for a better musical experience to make our wedding celebration unforgettable.

My wife and I were hoping to find someone whose music was beautiful and intimate for our wedding ceremony and Anthony did that and more. He was so easy to work with and incredibly flexible with our wants and needs. His voice is so soothing and he helped make our special moment feel that much more special. If we could do it all over again we’d be sure to have him back - highly recommend.

  • Serves Portland, OR for additional fees

Austin, Texas's own DJ A-Wall has been entertaining and DJing since 2009. Specializing in a wide array of events from weddings to corporate gatherings. Influenced by the high-energy rhythms of the '90s and 2000s, alongside the latest chart-toppers and eclectic world music, he ensures a mix that resonates with every soul on the dance floor. Transitioning from a karaoke host to downtown Austin's club scene, DJ A-Wall has mastered the art of crowd-reading, making every event an EPIC party! His philosophy revolves around tuning into the crowd and delivering exactly what his clients envision, ensuring the dance floor is always alive with energy.

I own Rose Haven Event Venue, and Aaron with Vibe & Vision Productions is one of our preferred vendors--for good reason! Not only is he brilliant at what he does, he has the most energy of any of the DJs that have worked at the venue. He is fun, very professional, detail-oriented, and full of great ideas! He definitely has the 'Vision' as well as the 'Vibe'! He has just as much fun working their awesome photobooth as DJing a wedding or leading a Karaoke night. His expertise with lighting adds so much to our events as well. The lighting can absolutely elevate an event to new heights by creating the perfect atmosphere. Vibe & Vision offers so many wonderful options. We definitely recommend 'DJ A-Wall' & Vibe & Vision!
