Cascade Dreams was built to take the stress out of wedding entertainment- and replace it with confidence, clarity, and packed dance floors. We’re experienced DJs who believe your wedding deserves more than just music. You deserve a professional who shows up early, reads the crowd, rolls with the unexpected, and makes the night feel effortless.

DJ Dom was amazing and very communicative! He called us multiple times before the wedding to make sure everything was how we liked it. There were some hiccups with our venue and timeline, but he helped redirect to allow us to have a perfect night. He even included extra lighting for free! He also referred us to a content creator, and she was great.

If I could tell you to do one thing for your wedding or event, I’d tell you to hire Jared from pure vision entertainment as your DJ. Seriously. Jared not only took the time to get to know my now husband and I but he curated our whole wedding to fit our likes, dislikes, personality, and vibes. When I tell you I still have people talking about our DJ weeks after the wedding, you’d be shocked at how many people are still making comments about how incredible Jared was. I will never forget my older brother coming up to me while I was dancing the night away at our wedding and saying “You seriously hit the jackpot with this DJ, the way he has put everything together is insane.” And the reason I will remember that moment forever is because I was thinking the same thing the about entire night. Jared made sure all the guests knew what was going on, he communicated so well so no one was out of the loop on what to do next. I told Jared all the things that were really important to me in our meetings prior to the wedding and not only did he make those moments amazing, he went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make them absolutely perfect. His whole set up was so good. It’s hard to say when it comes to sound, music, and microphones that there were no hiccups or mishaps but with Jared at my wedding there truly was nothing that could’ve gone better than it did. My wedding day was perfect and I attribute a HUGE part of that to Jared and the way he carried the whole day. Jared even took the time to get to know the guests and my family and that was so special to me. I’m going to end this again by saying, if I could tell you do to one thing for your wedding day or event… HIRE JARED from PVE, I cannot stress enough how incredible he was and all the extra details and time he put in to making our day so perfect and memorable. Thank you Jared! We appreciate you so much!! -Simon & Aliyah

Stumptown Djs

Portland, OR
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,500

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.

Dance floor was packed all night and many friends complimented on his music choice. Thank you Steven and Stumptown!

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,999

VIEW PRICING + CHECK AVAILABILITY: ➡️ www. DJpdx .com ⬅️...... NOT ACTIVE ON ZOLA, visit website for INSTANT AVAILABILITY. Portland. Bend. Eugene. Seattle. True professionals, PARADOX is 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 Magazine, with individual team members nominated as Best DJ by Willamette Week every year.

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.

DJ NOBLE 

5.0

Portland, OR
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,500

I'm passionate about DJing because music has the power to create unforgettable moments—and there's nothing more rewarding than being the person who helps make those moments happen. At weddings, every song carries emotion, from the couple’s first dance to the last song of the night. I love reading the crowd, building the energy, and blending tracks to keep the celebration flowing seamlessly. It's more than just playing music—it's about creating a soundtrack that people will remember for the rest of their lives. That’s what drives me every time I step behind the booth.

DJ NOBLE has always been an excellent choice for our annual corporate holiday party. His communication was always prompt and helpful as we planned the music and timeline for our event. On the day of the event, he truly delivered - his expert DJ skills and knowledge of how to get a crowd dancing were on full display. DJ NOBLE took the time to get to know our venue and vibe, and it showed in the energy he brought to the dance floor. I've been working with him for over 6 years to DJ our corporate holiday party, and he never disappoints. We are so grateful to have found such a talented and professional DJ to always make our holiday parties unforgettable.

Portland, OR

  • Starts at $800

PRGN.City LLC is a small, family-owned business (husband and wife). We pride ourselves on outstanding service (with zero compromise). This business came about from a little over a decade of hard work by Theodore in the Theatre and A/V event industries. Years of exceptional team building and execution of large-scale events, as well as a longstanding background of being musically educated (brass, 12 years), performing, and teaching music, led us to finally formalize the business in this format. What started as a way to aid individuals with throwing events (with less than abundant resources) has slowly turned into recurrent events of all kinds.

Theodore and prgn.city were amazing to work with and provided the highest quality we could’ve asked for at our wedding! Highly recommend choosing Prgn.city!

The quality of their work and value was wonderful, and we truly appreciated all they did. It was a 100 degrees on our wedding day, so the lights we had paid for would have been useless, but Lane was sweet enough to set up an amazing audio guestbook instead that was a huge hit. Lane was amazing and picked up on us being funky people and met the vibe with the music immediately. We would highly recommend requesting him for your wedding!

Louis Pettinelli Entertainment was an absolute dream to work with. I thought that a live band for our wedding would be out of our reach, but LPE was so easy to work with and what an incredible value! Our band, LPE Snapshot was incredible and our ceremony musicians were amazing too! The vocalists were high energy and kept the whole event moving. They were great Emcess and they even added some special non-traditional reception activities for us. They were super flexible and played all the songs we asked for- even some very “niche” tracks we asked for during the ceremony. So many of my guests said the band was their favorite part of the reception. I highly recommend LPE entertainment! (I am also a musician myself so I’m very picky!)
