I was a guest at a wedding where PVE & Manny was the DJ, and it was hands down one of the best wedding receptions I’ve ever been to. OMG we did not want to get off the dance floor it was a literal club vibe all night. The music brought everyone together, the dance floor stayed full, and the night felt so much like our friends Nathan & Liz. The Venue was beautiful and just overall the wedding was amazing. You want to talk about a party, it definitely was one.

Stumptown Djs 

5.0

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Steven was easygoing, outgoing, made everybody want to get up and dance. He was part of the party! Followed all of our requests. He had great ideas. Very easy and fun to work with. He remembered everything we asked him to take care of. And he helped us get set up to record our special instrumental guest.

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

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.

I can’t say enough amazing things about Henry! From the very start, he made our wedding day unforgettable. Not only was he professional and organized, but he brought so much energy and excitement to every moment. Henry didn’t just play music, he created an experience. His timing was perfect, his song choices kept the dance floor full all night, and the way he read the crowd was pure talent. Everyone had the best time! On top of being an outstanding DJ, Henry went above and beyond as our MC. He kept the night flowing seamlessly, made all the announcements feel personal and fun, and truly knew how to engage the crowd. His energy and charisma had everyone smiling, laughing, and celebrating with us the entire evening. If you’re looking for someone who will make your wedding unforgettable and keep your guests talking about it for years, Henry is your guy! We are so thankful for him and couldn’t imagine our special day without his incredible talent and personality. Highly recommend!

PRGN.City LLC 

5.0

Portland, OR
  • DJ
  • 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 was so kind and attentive to every single detail of our wedding from start to finish. He never failed to make all our requests come to life and really got to know us as a couple. We had some strict rules at our venue and Theodore was able to make a great set while still following all guidelines. He went above and beyond in every part of our wedding day and even offered to help setup/tear down before and after the wedding. We can’t recommend him enough!

First off, A big cogratulations on your engagement! There are so many vendors that make up a modern wedding. So may people forget that the DJ is positioned to set the tone of the reception. With a reputation for awesome planning help, superb digital sound that rivals all others our team of DJs love providing FUN events. Our DJs answer your emails usually within moments of it being sent. Planning is so important so we have as many meetings as needed (at no charge) to make sure the reception is musically perfect.

Fun Squad DJs were an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication was great - when we forgot to update them on a time change, they fixed the problem for us effortlessly. 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!

My husband and I used Direct Entertainment for our DJ and videographer for our wedding and we could not be more pleased!! The team was professional, great at communication, very kind and professional, and they helped make our day absolutely perfect! Jeff, our DJ kept the dance floor alive ALL NIGHT!! When the music had to stop at the end of the night, the dance floor was still completely full and no one wanted it to end. He did a great job announcing the events of the night, made sure that our ceremony music was perfect, and he stuck to our wedding playlist with the exception for a couple guest requests (which we were happy to allow). We were so happy and thankful to have Jeff there! Sie, our videographer also did a wonderful job! We have not yet received our video as our wedding was less than 2 weeks ago, but I already know it is going to be amazing. He was so great with communication, was prompt with his timing, and he even set up a second camera for guests to break away and give us well wishes for our marriage, which I'm so excited to watch back. He was very professional and wonderful to work with. We decided to add videography at the last minute because we thought we might regret not having it, and I am SO happy we asked Jim at Direct Entertainment if they had someone available for our day just a month before, and they did!! Jim, the coordinator at Direct Entertainment frequently checked in with us, asked us questions about ourselves, and genuinely made us feel like he cared about us and our special day. He was great to work with leading up to being assigned our designated DJ and videographer, and even after, he checked in to make sure we were happy and that all of the planning was going well. Overall, we would 1000% recommend Direct Entertainment for any wedding entertainment needs! I know they also offer several other services that we did not utilize, and I'm sure they are wonderful as well! Photos courtesy of Lang at Wandering Wolf Photography.
