  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,695
  • Serves Ryderwood, WA

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!!

As a coordinator, the DJ and coordination team need to work well together in order to have a seamless wedding. He was so easy to work with and the wedding went off without a hitch!

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.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

Louis Pettinelli Entertainment was an absolute dream to work with. I thought that a live band for our wedding would be out of our reach, but LPE was so easy to work with and what an incredible value! Our band, LPE Snapshot was incredible and our ceremony musicians were amazing too! The vocalists were high energy and kept the whole event moving. They were great Emcess and they even added some special non-traditional reception activities for us. They were super flexible and played all the songs we asked for- even some very “niche” tracks we asked for during the ceremony. So many of my guests said the band was their favorite part of the reception. I highly recommend LPE entertainment! (I am also a musician myself so I’m very picky!)

Soul Siren has been an entertainment powerhouse for over 20 years! The band loves to play weddings and has the reputation of being able to play something for everyone. Whether its 80's music, 90's hip hop, Lady Gaga, funk and disco, or music from the 1950's.. we cover it all and do it at a very high level. Our clients include The Seahawks, Boeing, Harley Davidson, Porche, Suncadia, the Grand 14 Yacht Clubs, numerous Washington casinos and hundreds of newlywed couples. Soul Siren includes, guitar, keyboard, sax, bass, drums, and everyone in the group sings too. The group can even cover a jazzy cocktail set and ceremonial music too.

We always knew we wanted a live band at our wedding, and Soul Siren absolutely delivered. They brought so much energy to the night and made our reception feel like a real celebration. They are incredibly talented musicians and performers, and having live music added something to our wedding that a playlist or DJ simply couldn’t have replicated. Our guests had such a great time, the dance floor was full, and we received so many compliments about the band throughout the night and afterward. Like any live event, there were a few little things behind the scenes that didn’t go exactly as planned, but honestly, no one noticed—Soul Siren are professionals and knew how to keep the night moving and make it work. My biggest piece of advice for future couples is just to be very clear and specific ahead of time about the songs that are most important to you and exactly how you’d like them performed. Give them that direction, and then let them do what they do best. We are so glad we chose Soul Siren. They helped create the fun, energetic, memorable reception we had pictured, and looking back, having a real live band was one of our favorite decisions we made for the wedding. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing live band for their wedding! *Photos by Nicole Aston

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!

We have had the pleasure of performing at such beautiful destinations as Fleetwood's On Front Street, Ocean Club - Bahamas, Ritz Carlton - San Francisco, Park Plaza Westminster Bridge - London and Sun Valley Resort.

We cannot recommend Dancehall Days enough! We wish we could get married all over again just for the music. This band absolutely nailed our wedding in Jackson Hole, and we are still in awe of how incredible they were. My husband and I were so focused on having an amazing band that would get everyone dancing and fit our specific music taste. Not only did they travel all the way from Oregon, but they also made the entire process so easy and enjoyable from start to finish. From the moment we reached out to them, they were a breeze to work with—so friendly, professional, and attentive to our needs. They went above and beyond, learning several special songs for us and ensuring every detail was perfect for our big day. The energy they brought to the reception was unmatched, and they kept the dance floor packed all night long. Safe to say we wanted the band to be the highlight of the night, and they were exactly that. And when it came to the Fleetwood Mac (and even some tough Motown!!) covers? They absolutely killed it! We were beyond thrilled with how they brought those iconic songs to life, just as we had hoped. Every song was performed with such passion and skill, and it made for some seriously magical moments. If you're looking for a band that can deliver incredible live music, great vibes, and a personal touch, Dancehall Days is the way to go. They truly helped make our wedding night unforgettable, and we are so grateful for their talent and energy. I can't wait to catch them at one of their gigs and dance the night away again soon! Thank you, Dancehall Days, for making our celebration everything we dreamed of and more! You guys are incredible! See you soon!

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.

I am a wedding vendor of 15 years as well doing hair, makeup and morning concierge. One of my past brides at one of my most favorite venues to work at is how I was introduced to Joey. After coming out of the hair room I love taking a moment to walk around the venue and there he was playing the cello along with some background music. I was hooked. I love that he was incorporating songs of today with the art of an instrument. I found it unique and something I wanted to showcase at my wedding. I didn’t want people to walk up to just music playing in the space, but an experience. Joey took the time to do 2 calls with us, one being over the phone and the second being over zoom. He came with a detailed questionnaire of how we wanted our wedding to go. It was so detailed that even a music mood girl I didn’t even think of. The calls were scheduled for 30 minutes but he didn’t hesitate to chat with me for over an hour on how I wanted it to be curated. I had already started 2 wedding playlists, but he added and sent me 5 to 6 albums to fill out of songs I loved and wanted. I had over 10 hours of music to play and not only did he take those into consideration he added music that my guests also requested. He even accepted me saying change this song and only play the 10 year olds music every 10 songs He needed to set up in two spaces, one for the ceremony which was outside on our property. He was set up and playing by the time guests arrived. Everyone I spoke with loved the music selection, which I told him “Bridgerton vibes” and he ran with it. After the ceremony his assistant had music playing for the cocktail hour while they broke down the equipment in the ceremony area. I was blown away by the lights that were brought and the look of everything. Microphones worked for speeches and he even had a stand for those who wanted to use them. We didn’t do a traditional walk in but he announced us perfectly and we ran around the tables saying hello to our friends and family. I would recommend Joey to anyone looking to have an experience for their guests, have a DJ but also want strings all in one. He was professional, timely and for someone who did not have a day of coordination or planner very informative. I wanted vendors to do what they do best and I’m glad I trusted him to provide us with music throughout the day and night!

Brian truly went above and beyond for our wedding day. He was so flexible during the planning process when I was having trouble making up my mind and offered suggestions to help make the day run smoothly (and it did!). I feel like I'm pretty picky about music and was anxious about how everything would flow together, but Brian did such an amazing job. He eased my mind in our meetings leading up to the big day and especially the day of. Not one hiccup or wrong song the whole night! I can't recommend him enough. You are MISSING OUT if you don't choose him to be your wedding DJ!

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! We hired AMP DJ/BAND HYBRID for our wedding and they were one of the best decisions we made. From the start, they were so easy to communicate with, incredibly professional, and genuinely attentive to our family’s needs. They even added last-minute band members with total ease, no stress, just smooth execution. We wanted a big party vibe, and that is exactly what we got. The vocals were phenomenal, the musicianship was outstanding, and the energy they brought was unreal. The perfect blend of music kept the dance floor packed all night, and the band read the room effortlessly. They were also so open to our personal touches, like my dream of having a big group sing-along, and they embraced it with enthusiasm. At the end of the night, they were even flexible and kind enough to stay for one last song, making the finale feel absolutely magical. One of our favorite parts was how interactive the performers were. The saxophonist, trumpet player, and lead singers came out onto the dance floor, mingled with guests, and encouraged everyone to get up and celebrate. It made the whole night feel electric and personal. A special highlight was how graciously they welcomed a performance from one of our wedding guests, seamlessly bringing them into the band and turning it into a moment we’ll never forget. If you want a team that is exceptionally talented, energetic, flexible, and dedicated to creating an unforgettable celebration, AMP DJ/BAND HYBRID is the ONLY choice. We cannot recommend them enough!
