Tony was the DJ at my sister’s wedding ten years ago, and people still talk about how incredible that night was. He had all 200 guests dancing nonstop, playing the perfect mix of songs that kept the energy high from start to finish. That night was so unforgettable that for the last decade I’ve said, “When it’s my turn, all I care about is having the right DJ.” Fast forward ten years and once again, Tony from Garcia Entertainment made magic happen. He took the time to really understand our crowd and created the most seamless flow of music that had everyone, young and old, on their feet. The vibe was unreal, with 100 guests but it felt like 300 because of how much fun everyone was having. The next day, all anyone could talk about was how amazing the DJ was. If you want a DJ who goes above and beyond, who truly knows how to read a crowd and make your night unforgettable, I can’t recommend Garcia Entertainment enough. Thank you, Tony, for giving us another night we’ll never stop talking about.

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.

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.

Stumptown Djs

  • Serves Ridgefield, WA

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 Steven and Stumptown were excellent! DJ Steven, while being a Tier 2 DJ, was more like a Tier 10! We really wanted a fun and populated dancefloor at our wedding and DJ Steven delivered! He was great at reading the crowd and playing songs that got everyone on their feet. He also surprised us by bringing a bubble gun, lights, and a 360 cam. What was most spectacular was that DJ Steven also created a special mix for our first dance so that we could do a fun choreographed dance to it. Our guests absolutely loved it, and we couldn’t be more thankful to Steven for making it happen. He helped us select songs for all phases of the wedding and was able to really set the mood throughout the entire event. We received numerous compliments from guests about how the wedding was so upbeat and had an awesome party atmosphere; DJ Steven was a large part of that! Stumptown and DJ Steven were very organized and all wedding details were easy to communicate via their portal. We asked a lot from them, and they definitely delivered an amazing event. Big thanks to DJ Steven and Stumptown DJ’s!

We had a great time working with Rian. We really loved Rian's passion for music. We provided a list of songs for Rian and he did a great job curating the music and his additions worked very well. His mixing was smooth and clean! Our wedding venue was in a remote location and Rian was able to provide equipment for three separate sites with only one site being indoors with outlets. Rian was also responsive and clear during our email correspondences prior to the wedding. He was on time and his setup occurred without a hitch.

From the moment the dance floor opened, Dominic brought the most incredible energy. Our crowd was a mix of Jewish cousins who only want hora-level chaos and my husband’s chill Pacific Northwest friends who pretend they “don’t dance,” and somehow Dominic had EVERYONE out there the entire night. The atmosphere was pure joy – big smiles, sweaty hugs, and so much laughing. He read the room perfectly, mixing in all the Jewish classics we asked for (the hora was legitimately epic – chairs in the air, zero injuries!) with current hits and some surprising throwbacks that kept the vibe fun and inclusive. I still have friends texting me asking for his playlist. Working with Dominic leading up to the wedding was an absolute breeze. I’m a planner by nature (hi, Rebecca here, nice to meet you), and he was so responsive – emails answered within hours, always kind and patient even when I sent him a million little updates. He hopped on a quick Zoom with us to go over pronunciation of names (he nailed the Hebrew ones without me even asking) and made sure every detail felt personal. Zero stress, which is basically a miracle in wedding planning. On the day-of, he showed up early, dressed sharp, and was just the nicest human – checking in with me and my mom, making sure my 92-year-old bubbe had her favorite Frank Sinatra song queued up, and handling a last-minute request from my brother with a smile. Professional, warm, and genuinely excited to be part of our day. If you want a dance floor that never empties and a DJ who feels more like a friend than a vendor, hire Dominic. Our wedding was the most fun night of our lives, and he was a huge part of that. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! – Rebecca & Josh

I have a very diverse musical background and have been listening to, analyzing and loving music since I was a child. I have immense knowledge on most genres so I can fulfill most musical requests and answer questions about songs you might not even know or remember you wanted! I also offer an online client portal to every client that books with me giving access to tools to help you plan your wedding should you need them!

DJ Skrubb was our wedding DJ and did a fantastic job! Working with him was simple and straight forward. He took a playlist of our favorite songs and used that to create a music set that fit our tastes and had our guests dancing the ENTIRE night. We are still receiving comments from friends and family about how good he was and how hard it is to find a DJ who can read a wedding crowd and keep a vibe going all night. During the ceremony he was able to play our edited songs and music clips without issue. Sound quality was good and he provided audio for ceremony, dining and dance floor areas, all of which were in separate areas. Would recommend him to anyone looking for an easy, straight forward DJ to work with that provides great music and good vibes for your wedding.

  • DJ
  • Starts at $800
  • Serves Ridgefield, WA

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!
