A Beat Above Entertainment 

5.0

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.

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!

Paradox Productions

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

  • 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!

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!!!

Sheila E, Musician was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding! Her communication style was on point - she was super communicative and had a great sense of humor that kept things fun. The quality and value of her DJ services were fantastic. For what we paid, the entertainment she provided for our special day was a total bargain. 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. So professional yet informal at the same time. We loved having Sheila be a part of our big day and felt honored that someone of her musical caliber was there celebrating with us!

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.

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Have about 200 people showing up to your reception and want to guarantee that everyone from your aunts and uncles to your most particular friend all send you texts about how perfect your wedding band was? Great, you're done with your search. We worked with The Hook Club on an ambitious two-day wedding, which included them doing live sound for our Friday welcome party, live sound for the music at our ceremony, some deep cut requests, and our desire to not just have "another wedding band." What we got was an incredibly talented, creative, and kind group of people who were ready to make whatever we wanted happen, ready to add ideas and layers, and who then completely blew away our expectations. We're in that era of our lives where we've been to about 100 weddings in the last 10 years, and we can honestly say that no band has even come close to The Hook Club. A year later everyone is still talking about how great our band was. They are true professionals in every sense of the word, and you should seriously consider booking your venue around whether or not THC is available. That's not hyperbole - they were that good.

I recently had the pleasure of booking Cello Joe to perform at my wedding and what a special experience it was!!! Joey is a true professional on all levels! From start to finish, communication was effortless and always on point. He even assisted us with setting up and dialing in the sound system. Now on to the important stuff... Cello Joe's performance bridged the spectrum of family and friends present for our wedding. It was such a magical experience seeing so many loved ones getting down to veggie maniac, bike girl and so much love :). Cello Joe delivered a performance that brought joy and smiles to everyone's experience. Overall I rate our experience 11/11. It was an honor to have such a talented musician perform and such a fun character to hang out with the rest of the event. Cello Joe's set was the musical highlight of our wedding. We're extraordinarily grateful that Cello Joe made the trip up to Portland and very much look forward to seeing this musical genius again in the near future!

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.

Hey, I'm Anthony! I'm a Singer-Songwriter, Pianist, and Guitarist in the Albany region. I've always been about bringing people's visions to life, whether it be producing artists', taking an amazing story and turning it into music, or filling an event with sound that speaks to the people there. I'd love to get to know both of you and your story, and help create memories with music. While I live in Albany, I'm willing to travel almost anywhere - feel free to get in touch whether you want me to come to you, or if you're planning a destination wedding!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you're looking to add something truly unique, emotional and memorable to your wedding day, look no further. Anthony is one of the most talented songwriters I've ever heard, and his ability to feel, empathize, and tell stories comes together in perfect harmony through his music. It's not often you find somebody who has all the components to take a musician from great to one of a kind, but Anthony is absolutely that person. I wrote my vows and shared my first dance to a song that he wrote for me and my wife. We eloped on the black sand beach of Iceland, and brought a portable speaker so we could have this dance. Have you ever heard a song at the perfect moment and it feels like it could be included in the soundtrack to your life? Anthony will write that song for you, to pair with one of the most incredible moments of your life, and each time you listen to it again or it comes on shuffle, it'll take you right back to the moments you hold dear like an intimate journal entry only you and your spouse could ever truly feel. If you're even on the fence, don't hesitate to reach out. It was one of the best decisions I ever made.

Can’t decide between a DJ or a Band? .. Now you don't have to! This is what we specialize in... HALF DJ. HALF BAND. ALL HYBRID! AMP DJ/BAND HYBRID is a boutique event company owned & operated by husband & wife team, Jimmy & Ana Salvemini. Having performed around the world with Gloria Gaynor, Luther Vandross, and George LaMond to name a few, the Salveminis were looking for an innovative way to bring that same quality of showmanship and professionalism to your special event! Our DJ/BAND HYBRIDs are carefully crafted to your needs giving you limitless musical possibilities! Your event is right around the corner... Get amped and GET AMP!

Awarded Best of Zola
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! All of our guests were completely shocked at the level of professionalism and talent AMP brought to our event. I cannot stress enough how utterly amazing AMP is. Do yourself a huge favor and book them, you will not regret it for a second.

Kelton from Marquee Artists is awesome - he killed it dj-ing for the clients, the dance floor was non-stop going nuts the whole time! His demeanor is super low-key and easy going, and he was very easy to work with, which means a lot in this field. Weddings have lots of moving parts and can be chaotic, but having vendors that are kind and willing to work as a team makes the day go a whole lot smoother. The couple had lots of requests for songs in completely different genres, but he managed to keep the party going with no awkward pauses and seamless transitions. I highly recommend hiring him if you want someone that's going to work well with everyone and make sure to light the dance floor on fire!
