  • 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 grew up as a pastor's kid doing sound and music for my dad's church. Weddings, funerals and the like. I created the All Requests Live team to provide great services at an affordable rate. We would be honored to make your day great!

From the start, Dave was amazing. The form he asks us to fill out before really helped us to plan out everything we needed for the night. Our DJ (I think it was Matt) was amazing all night. He made sure to run requests by me (since we came up with a general playlist). The music never stopped and everyone had a great time. I can’t recommend Dave and his team at All Requests Live any more!!

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.

Hands down, JR Music Collective provided the best experience we could have asked for from a DJ. Everyone we worked with was extremely professional, and every step along the planning process felt seamless and easy because of their attention to detail. We had John, the owner, as our DJ and really felt taken care of along the entire way; he even learned a song on the guitar to perform for us during our first dance! Thank you, JR team! We will definitely hire you again if there are any further DJ needs!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Suzanne at Stumptown DJs was an absolute dream to have DJ our wedding. The entire event went so smoothly because of her professionalism, flexibility, and overall attitude. From the ceremony to the grand exit, our songs were played exactly how I envisioned them. Plus, I will never forget that there was a moment during the evening that I wanted to cut short unexpectedly; I glanced at Suzanne, discretely asked for the song to end, and she immediately, and unnoticeably, faded the song out - I was so thankful to her. If we ever need DJ services in the future, we will 100% go with Suzanne again. -B&B

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.

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.

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.

PRGN.City LLC was an excellent choice for our wedding band and DJ services. From the first time we reached out, their communication was quick, easy, and reliable. The quality of their work was exactly as advertised - they were a breeze to work with and really delivered an amazing experience for us and our guests on the dance floor all night long. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out and highly recommends PRGN.City LLC to any couple looking for top-notch wedding entertainment.

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!

The harpist and violinist were absolutely incredible — truly one of the most magical parts of our entire wedding day. My husband and I were completely in awe, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful and cinematic the music was. It felt like something straight out of a movie, especially with the stunning ambiance of our ceremony location. From the very beginning, the process of choosing music through the company’s website was seamless. There were so many amazing song options to pick from, and we were so happy with our final selections. Hearing them come to life — especially on violin and harp — was beyond words. The musicians played so eloquently and gracefully, and their talent was unmatched. The music added a romantic, emotional, and elegant touch that elevated everything to a whole new level. Communication with the company was excellent. They were quick to respond, always friendly and accommodating, and remained professional and patient — even when unexpected weather challenges came up on the day of the wedding. They were flexible, understanding, and worked with us to make sure everything went smoothly. The quality of the performance was truly a 10 out of 10. Guests were completely blown away, and many told us how unforgettable and moving the ceremony music was. The transitions between songs were smooth and perfectly timed. I would 100% recommend this company to any couple looking to add something special to their ceremony. They are incredibly talented, professional, punctual, and just a dream to work with. We’re so grateful to have had them be part of our big day — they helped make it feel absolutely magical.

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!

Golden Bell offers a unique musical blend that packs a high-energy punch! The DJ/live fusion band, or DJ/live band hybrid, is always anchored on a DJ set but supported by live musicians. With all the energy and hype of a live band and the flexibility of a DJ, you won’t have to decide between hiring a band or a DJ for your next event or wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Okay, seriously, if you're planning an event and thinking about a band/dj hybrid, you have to look into Golden Bell Music. Our wedding on June 27, 2025, at Viansa Winery in Sonoma, CA, was everything we dreamed of and so much more, and honestly, a huge part of that credit goes directly to them. We spent 11 months planning every detail, and booking Golden Bell Music as one of our very first vendors was hands-down the best decision we made. The band/DJ hybrid concept? Pure genius! It absolutely delivers the best of both worlds, and they pulled it off flawlessly. But really, the biggest shout-out – and the core of this whole review – belongs to the phenomenal Marlon Aldana, our DJ and drummer. We first spotted him in action on Golden Bell's Instagram, and it was an instant "that's our guy!" moment. You can imagine our excitement when we found out he was available for our date! Working with Marlon from the very beginning was just an absolute pleasure. He wasn't just playing music; he was genuinely feeling the room, intuitively knowing when to let a song build or transition to keep the energy up. All of our "must-plays" were there, the do not-play was respected, and the dance floor never once emptied And talk about flexibility! We had a last-minute idea to add an extra instrument, and the Golden Bell team didn't blink. They jumped right in, helping us find the perfect addition without any issues. Plus, we had a separate violinist for our ceremony, and it was so impressive to see how effortlessly all the vendors collaborated. No drama, just smooth, professional teamwork, which really speaks volumes about Golden Bell's commitment to making your day seamless. Now, for the ultimate highlight: our after-party! We decided to do something a little different and host it in a wine cellar, and Marlon and his team elevated it beyond anything we could have imagined. When they brought in a fog machine, the entire atmosphere transformed. It wasn't just a party; it was an experience! That fog machine honestly MADE the party, turning the space into something truly epic. I genuinely can't picture it having the same incredible energy without it, so a massive thank you for that unexpected, perfect touch. And because we had a masquerade theme, I asked if the DJs would wear disco masks and they SAID YES and wore them the entire time, even after I told them they absolutely didn't have to for more than one song! It just created such an amazing vibe, and we've got the pictures to prove how much fun everyone had! There's just so much to appreciate about this incredible group. If you want your special day to be filled with fantastic music, seamless execution, and an unforgettable atmosphere, you absolutely have to choose Golden Bell Music. They truly are exceptional!

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. Once we were linked with Danny, we didn't need a middleman anymore and could communicate directly, which streamlined everything. The setup was smooth and Danny kept the energy high all night long. Using an agency like Nationwide to find a local DJ in our area saved us hours of searching on our own.

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. 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.

From our first conversation, they were upbeat, personable, and professional, taking time to understand exactly what we wanted and remaining flexible with our requests. 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. Skyline Event DJs felt genuine and fun the whole night, and we'd hire them again in a heartbeat.

Craig has been performing as a mobile DJ for over 15 years now and still loves the craft and dedicates time regularly for practicing and staying up to date with current musical and wedding trends. He's an easy going MC with an ability to keep events of any size going smoothly.

I am a wedding photographer who has shot and worked hundreds of weddings, and I'm not being biased when I say, Craig with Silicon Forest Entertainment is the best DJ company I've ever worked with. He is extremely professional and incredibly confident on the microphone, which is a talent not everyone has. He knows music and can read a crowd so well. As another vendor, working with him is so smooth and he's incredibly considerate of the timing of each event with each vendor in mind. I always know that if I'm working a wedding with Craig, not only will the clients be thrilled, the guests will rave about the good time, and all of us vendors will work flawlessly as a team. I recommend him to all my wedding couples.

If we could give The Hook Club more stars, we would! Let me get my one gripe out of the way at the top here: I’m pretty sure the only reason my now husband agreed to a wedding celebration was to hire The Hook Club after seeing them at a friend’s wedding before we met. It was the only part of the wedding planning process he felt truly passionate about from the jump – we knew we wanted them before we even had a venue or date and went so far as to clear our potential dates with them before booking anything else. Fast forward, and Dan made the band planning process so supported and seamless that my husband’s one job went off without a hitch. The problem? Despite me planning every other single little detail of our three-day wedding weekend, the first thing that every single guest complimented (and still raves above, 1 month later) was THE BAND! But in truth, we wouldn’t have it any other way. We are absolutely ecstatic with our choice of hiring The Hook Club for our wedding. We did acoustic guitars for the ceremony, sax and tracks for cocktail and band and DJ for reception. THC was outstanding to work with from the jump. Dan is a wealth of knowledge and organization, and brings a calm, cool, collected vibe through every step of the planning process. Not to mention, he’s a great musician who can come discuss timeline with you while also playing the base day of :D. The process THC uses to help plan is smooth and clear. The communication was great throughout – we knew what to expect from the first planning call all the way up to some adhoc timeline changes day of. The band has an extensive repertoire and was able to take in our song, vibe, and timeline requests while also using their extensive experience to guide us along the way. The music carried the vibe throughout the day – from guitars at the ceremony to sax and tracks leading through cocktail hour and a mix of dance sets, slow dances, and expert MC’ing on the dance floor, we couldn’t get enough. So much so, that we extended the end time of the event just to have more fun on the dance floor with THC! Everyone was so nice, supportive, energetic and just brought their outstandingly talented A game and the absolute best vibe. The band got out on the dance floor with us, led us in call and response and a little choreographed proud Mary moment. Our first dance song is not a very common song, not only did THC learn it for us, but they provided us a track of their composition beforehand so we could practice the dance. You’ll see in the pictures my face when I first heard them play it – completely awestruck! That was pretty much my inner face the entire rest of the night in their presence. I have so many fond memories of engaging with THC throughout our wedding. If I could do it again, I’d hire THC without a second thought.

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.
