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.

Heartbeat Events

  • 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!!

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.

Hiring DJ Benni as our wedding DJ was the best decision we made for our wedding! Benni was a game-changer for our special day! From the first consultation to monthly check-in’s, it was clear we were in expert hands. We shared our vision and DJ Benni shared his thoughts based on the weddings he has DJ for, and he saved us on making some big mistakes as we are new to this. His professionalism and attention to detail were impeccable. Benni let us customize as much or as little as we wanted and would constantly encourage us to do what we want and not cave to “wedding norms”. We ended up having a classical version of Lord of the Rings as the processional and Top Gun Theme song as the recessional, our dog was our flower girl, and DJ Benni rocked every step of the way! We had a tool to help us build out the timeline/flow of our wedding from start to finish. This allowed our DJ to know exactly what to do, and when. And in the case of an emergency if our DJ couldn’t make it, a sub could step in and execute. Which allowed me (bride) and the groom to enjoy the evening and not think about logistics. DJ Benni was also very flexible and easily adjusted on the fly for a few things too. The dance floor was always full, and DJ Benni played banger after banger! He asked us to create and share a playlist with songs we wanted played, the more the merrier, and to note our top ten “must play” songs. From there, he was able to understand the vibe we wanted, and he found songs that we didn’t think of that were major hits! My shy 10-year-old cousin was dancing and having the time of his life, and DJ Benni gave him his contact info and told him to call if he ever wanted to DJ. My cousin was over the moon and had the time of his life. DJ Benni also skillfully read the room, adjusting the music to keep the energy high throughout the night. The sound quality was top-notch, and the equipment setup was sleek and unobtrusive. They also provided excellent MC services, making smooth transitions between ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, speeches, and dancing. His enthusiasm and charisma added an extra layer of excitement, making our wedding reception unforgettable. We received numerous compliments from our guests about the fantastic music and vibrant atmosphere. If you want a memorable wedding celebration, hiring DJ Benni is a must!

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.

DJ Skrubb

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,300
  • Serves Portland, OR

I have a very diverse musical background and have been listening to, analyzing and loving music since I was a child. I have immense knowledge on most genres so I can fulfill most musical requests and answer questions about songs you might not even know or remember you wanted! I also offer an online client portal to every client that books with me giving access to tools to help you plan your wedding should you need them!

We hired DJ Skrubb, Musician (Rodney) for our wedding and could not have been happier. Rodney was very communicative throughout the planning process, which put us at ease. The songs we chose for our wedding and his style of music was exactly what we wanted to make our special day perfect. We gave Rodney a long list of must-play songs for the reception and he expertly wove them into his existing playlist. Rodney was also our MC and kept our guests entertained and engaged all night long. An extra bonus was that he had a portable sound system allowing him to provide music at our ceremony at a separate location before travelling to the reception venue. Rodney's professionalism, enthusiasm and impressive musical repertoire contributed so much joy and fun to our big day.

  • 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!

All Requests Live DJ is easily one of the best DJ companies to book with in Oregon. Coordinating with Dave was easy - he was understanding and accommodating when I couldn't make it to our first scheduled meeting, and when we were finally able to chat it was obvious he was an expert. He recommended songs, gave advice and input on specific song choices, and never once made me feel pressured to add more lighting, speakers, etc. You can tell this company is focused on making their clients happy rather than just making a buck. Austin was our DJ and he was AMAZING! He interacted with our guests, played the perfect songs, and was a fantastic MC. I was very impressed with his professionalism and willingness to engage with everyone - it was nice seeing a vendor not just simply attending, but actually laughing and having fun! Thank you so much for making our night so special. HIGHLY recommended!!!

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!

Hi! Pleased to meet you! My name is Christie, and I have been practicing the art of violin performance for over 20 years! I received my Bachelor of Music in Violin Performance in 2011 and since launching Christie Becker Violin in 2018, I've had the privilege of working with incredible clients including Microsoft, Overstock, Marriott, and Don Perignon, but weddings hold a special place in my heart - I thrive on celebrating the love my couples share! I'm so excited to hear all about your love story, and to bring it to life through music!

Christie is amazing to work with! She responds in a timely manner and has very clear communication. She cares about each event and exceeds expectations for when she performs! We would recommend Christie to anyone looking to bring elegance into their event. :)

Silicon Forest Entertainment 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Serves Portland, OR

Craig has been performing as a mobile DJ for over 15 years now and still loves the craft and dedicates time regularly for practicing and staying up to date with current musical and wedding trends. He's an easy going MC with an ability to keep events of any size going smoothly.

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.

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!
