“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”

  • 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.

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

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!”

Portland, OR

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!”

“NW Mobile DJ Service was exactly what we wanted, and they did a great job. Our venue required three different speaker set-ups for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and our DJ, Richard, was very adaptable in doing so. I created playlists for each section of the night, and Richard was able to feel the vibe of the group and play them to what he thought the group wanted. Richard was respectful, kind, accountable, and was able to play my very specific walking-down-the-aisle song. Would recommend!”

“The Throwbacks really made our wedding a party! We hired the Throwbacks for an August wedding and we’re so glad we did. They got both of our families out on the dancefloor. My grandmother hasn’t been on a dancefloor in 30 years and because of the Throwbacks, I was able to dance with her. The band is very professional and very clear when communicating. They were also very flexible and were able to setup outdoors with limited venue resources. They played a more relaxed set for our cocktail hour and a groovier set for the main dancefloor after dinner. We’re so glad we hired them and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a great wedding band. They rock!!”

“Nationwide Wedding DJs made finding a DJ for our wedding so much easier than we expected. Michael was quick to respond and got us connected with DJ Danny Crush, who turned out to be perfect for our event.

Using an agency like Nationwide to find a local DJ in our area saved us hours of searching on our own.

“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”

Congrats on your engagement!!!! 💍🎉 I’m Steven Weaver, Owner + DJ of Echoes of Ever After, where every couple’s story becomes a soundtrack. From romantic ceremonies to packed dance floors, I bring professional-grade sound, seamless flow, and genuine connection to every event. Let’s create a night that feels completely you, from the first dance to the final song that nobody wants to end. 💫

“As a day-of coordinator, I’ve worked with a lot of DJs and Steven is amazing to work with. Super friendly, super easygoing, and you can tell he really cares about what he does. One thing that stood out to me was how much thought he puts into the actual sound. Not just volume, but how the music hits the room, how the bass moves through the floor, how it all feels when you're actually dancing. It made all the difference! He kept the party going all night, and the dance floor stayed full from start to finish. You could see how much fun everyone was having. He read the crowd so naturally and kept the momentum going. Just all-around great vibes, super professional, fun, and genuinely invested in making sure everyone has a good time.”
