  • 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!!

I could not say more positive things about Dave and his business. The phone call leading up to the day was great and laid out all the options I had and made me feel like we would be on the same page with everything. He helped soo much with the flow of the day and transitioning from one thing to the next with ease. Our guests had so many nice things to say about him and loved his attitude and humor throughout the night. We got married at a lodge on Mt. Bachelor and he handled having to drive up there and back down in the dark so well. I literally can’t imagine things going any better than they went. We truly appreciate and feel so blessed for everything you added to our day. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

Portland, OR
  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $2,000

JR Music Collective got its start with the simple idea of live music and DJ service from one vendor caught on across the region and the company began adding more musician/DJs to its roster. Oregon Bride Magazine first recognized JR Music Collective with an award in 2013. The collective has gone on to win awards every year since. We have a talented group of musicians and DJs waiting to make your day wonderful.

JR Music Collective made our music planning process so easy with their detailed questionnaire. The day of the wedding, our DJ / musician (Kelly) arrived on time and got all set up, making this process stress-free for my fiance and I. If I were to to this all again, I’d choose JR Music Collective again!

Stumptown Djs 
Rating: 5.0 (54 reviews)
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.

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
  • DJ
  • Starts at $800
  • Offer

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. 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!

Having a violinist for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour was one of the best decisions that we made, and Sweet Harmony made it SO easy. They were communicative, professional, and had a platform that made choosing songs and getting organized a breeze. It was affordable as far as wedding add-ons goes and classed up the wedding, our guests were all excited and impressed. Our violinist was incredibly talented and added an incredible flair. We chose a hip hop theme he nailed it (classy but also super fun and energetic). My only regret is that we were so busy that we didn't get to stop and truly appreciate it as much as we should have.

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.

Their setup was amazing, they hit all of our musical cues, and nailed the custom song remix we asked for, making for a forever memory. During the reception, they incorporated all of our notes from our planning meetings, but also showed real judgment by reading the room and prioritizing the vibe over our must-play list – which is what we'd asked them to do. Communication was a tiny bit slow at times, but we totally understood given some personal life events they had going on.

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.

Working with Joey was an unbelievable pleasure. My now husband and I were quite nervous about hiring a DJ (naturally given it was our first time!), but the second I found and spoke to Joey over the phone in an introductory call, I knew we were in good hands. His warmth, charisma and incredible professional experience was apparent, even during those first few minutes. Joey is an unbelievably talented performer (he played live cello at our ceremony) and a well seasoned DJ. What we didn’t know when we first hired him, was just how much help Joey would be in helping us schedule and orchestrate the flow of our full wedding. We had multiple calls and meetings, well before the wedding day, where Joey kept us informed and confident all throughout. He helped us coordinate the music not only to the most important parts of the wedding, but also to all in the in-betweens, making sure that good vibes were always flowing throughout the whole thing. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to make it all happen. Joey is also someone who is incredibly organized and pays great attention to detail and timing. He kept things moving (even though that was outside the scope of his work) and made sure everything was on schedule. Even when we ended up going overtime (not to the fault of Joey but family getting too carried away with speeches!), Joey quickly and expertly adjusted his set and made the final dance party something we will never forget. I truly mean this when I say don’t look any further. Don’t hesitate in hiring Joey—if we had to do it all over again, we would pick Cello Joe, every single time. —and to Joey: thank you so much for everything. You truly made our wedding a day we will never forget.
