Golden Bell is AWESOME! My partner and I hired them for our wedding at Stern Grove October 15th, 2022. We wanted both the flexibility of choosing our own music as well as the sound of live music, and they are the perfect combination! I was stunned how they listened to our whole playlist and learned the beats and also mixed them to add drums, trumpet and sax! Just WOW. So many of our guests commented on how awesome they were and how much fun they had dancing. We really didn't want all the classic wedding songs, and they honored that, as well as the playlist we gave to them, and put in their own artistic creation to create such a fun dance party! They were also incredibly professional and prompt in communication up to the event. All around excellent!

Chad Dowling Productions

5.0

Portland, OR
  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,495

An award-winning Northwest favorite for over 30 years! DJ, Entertainer, & Emcee. ​Chad's experience as a "On Air" radio personality & a mobile DJ have made him one of the best DJ Entertainers in Oregon & the Northwest. Chad Dowling knows how to please & entertain almost any audience to keep them engaged, & dancing all night long!!

When planning our wedding, we knew we wanted the music to be epic! Music is so important to my now husband Ryan and me. We wanted a packed dance floor, but we also wanted to incorporate our Jewish culture and even play some of our psych-rock faves, plus the odd request from our parents. It was a tall request! Chad handled it like a champ and created a playlist that checked our boxes and got everyone on the dance floor! When working with Chad, it's apparent that he had an enormous knowledge of music and DJing, as well as the intricacies of events and hosting. He had so many great suggestions and understood what we wanted and more! He even incorporated our weird sense of humor into our playlist. For example, we mentioned in our wedding vows a joke about rickrolling, and he added Never Gonna Give You Up to our playlist! It was amazing! At the last minute, we found out that our venue would be less involved in the day of coordination than we had previously thought. We had recruited some cousins to help, but when we told Chad and his wife/superstar partner in crime, Gretchen, about it, Gretchen stepped up to the plate without missing a beat. She coordinated our processional and the entrance to our reception. It was amazing! It meant so much to us that Chad and Gretchen would go above and beyond to ensure our wedding was perfect. 11/10, we would hire them again. We have nothing but the best things to say about Chad and Gretchen. We know they'll do everything possible to make your event extraordinary and customized to your taste.

Portland, OR
  • Solo performer

John Ross Music and Production got its start in 2004. The simple idea of live music and DJ service from one vendor caught on across the region and in 2010 the company began adding more musician/DJs to its roster. Oregon Bride Magazine first recognized the musician/DJs at John Ross Music and Production as the “Best Ceremony Musicians” in the state in 2013. The company won that same award again in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2019, also adding the “Best Reception Band” honor to its list of achievements. As of 2020 the company employs 10 different musician/DJs as well as a full time office manager to serve its clients.

The entire John Ross Productions team is absolutely amazing! From the level of talent each DJ has when they perform live sets, to the professionalism and high quality equipment, JRP is your one stop shop for everything you need. As an event coordinator, we rely upon our DJs to keep our party running and this team does that effortlessly and so much more! Love them!

Stumptown Djs

5.0

Portland, OR
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,250

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.

As a wedding planner, I've worked with Stumptown DJs a number of times and I always appreciate their professionalism and communication leading up to the big day. And their work onsite is excellent! I never have a worry on a wedding day when I know they'll be DJ-ing. I always recommend them to my clients!

Ceremony DJs exceeded our expectations! We wanted a lounge atmosphere for our wedding and Jaime did a great job crafting that experience. He took the time to talk to us about what types of music my wife and I like and carefully crafted a playlist. A month before the wedding we had some logistical issues with the venue and he gladly worked with the wedding coordinator and facilities manager to come up with solutions. Wedding day was when we really got to see him shine. Jamie played the most appropriate songs for every milestone in the wedding, especially when he played Sade after some very emotional speeches from the Dad's. He did a great job reading the room and took requests from our guests. I highly recommend Ceremony DJs!!!

Mobile DJ serving Oregon & Washington since 1987. I enjoy helping create a memorable and magical day for every client. My clients are like family. we spend quality time together to make sure every details is handled!

We have used Craig w/Hi Fidelity for 2 weddings over the years - he is so much more than a typical DJ! He has a way of engaging with the audience that is amazing. He is able to get people involved and dancing that would typically just watch or leave at that point. I have been to many weddings over the years but have never been to any that are more FUN than the ones he’s DJ’d. He had the entirety of guests laughing and participating until the very end when the venue told us we had to wrap it up for the night. I had a guest write me a letter afterwards thanking me for having such a fun wedding reception; he is 70 yrs old and stated that this was the best wedding he’d ever been to in his entire life! Wow. That’s a huge statement. Craig deserves this praise! Craig also served as a master of ceremony for the entire day. He helped coordinate people and things so the entire wedding day was not only smooth and efficient but relatively stress free. That was a huge help/relief for this mother of the bride. I can’t say enough good things about Craig & Hi Fidelity Entertainment. They are the best DJ type service out there and I wouldn’t use anyone else. Worth every penny we spent on his services!! 5 star recommendation!!

Then, they kept everyone engaged and entertained for the reception, from my aunt in a walker to my college friends twerking.

They were super responsive and professional but at the same time so laid back, we trusted them completely with their vision. They were great through the pandemic and made sure we all were on the same page. The musicians are so talented, we had live music for the ceremony and cocktail hour, right before my ceremony started they played a beautiful song I had requested. The cocktail hour was beautiful, the music was at a perfect volume where we all could hear and enjoy them but people could carry on in conversation. The reception was off the charts, everyone wouldn't stop talking about how awesome they were with the music choices. Ash the DJ was absolutely on point, read the room and the talented live musicians integrated with the DJ was perfect, we had never seen anything like it but it was better than we even imagined.

Tyler is AMAZING. We found Tyler through our wedding planner and we are so glad we did. He is super responsive and deeply cares about making each couples wedding day important and tailored to them. For us the music was a huge part of our wedding day as we are both heavily into music as well as our parents. Tyler spent over 2 1/2 hours on our final call (originally meant to be an hour) perfecting the set and perfect types of music to play for each sequence of events throughout the entire wedding day. He created such a magical atmosphere from start to finish. The ceremony music was timed beautifully and the cocktail hour music was amazing when he started playing sax! He was a huge crowd pleaser all night long, especially on the dance floor. My husband and I are big into EDM and boy did he deliver the last hour playing music that had everyone so pumped up to the point where our wedding had ended and our crowd was SCREAMING for one more song! The day was absolutely amazing and we cannot thank Tyler enough for going above and beyond in his delivery and performance of music for our special day.

He set up very quickly at our venue, which was key given we were running on a tight schedule, and he managed to produce nice sound in a very cavernous space (no idea how!). He kept us running on time and made all transitions seamless. His music perfectly matched the vibe we wanted, starting with a relaxed cocktail hour and dinner, and gradually increasing the tempo into a full-scale dance party as the night went on. And our friends and family had an absolute blast! He had everyone from 20 somethings to family in their 60s and 70s dancing until the very end! We got so many positive messages the next day, including one person who described our DJ as being "on fleek."

Our DJ/BAND HYBRIDs are carefully crafted to your needs giving you limitless musical possibilities! Your event is right around the corner... Get amped and GET AMP!

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring AMP was the all time BEST decision we could have made for our wedding! We had immediate comfort and trust in them from the first time we spoke, and the show they put on for our day was better than we ever could have imagined. They were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the whole process of planning and had no problem with even the most far-fetched ideas (including my wife surprising me by getting up and playing the drums with the band). If we asked each and every person what their favorite part of our wedding was, hands down it was the music. Ana, Jimmy, and the rest of the band had everyone dancing the entire night without question. It was hit after hit after hit with the whole crowd! So many people rushed to us to ask how we got so lucky finding them. Ana and Jimmy truly respected and acknowledged everyone’s pronouns and made everyone in our family and party seen and comfortable through the entire process. AMP put their entire heart and soul into every performance. Their passion is so evident with each song they play, and their energy is just contagious. You cannot help but smile and dance throughout their whole set. And the TALENT! The talent is through the roof! All of our guests were completely shocked at the level of professionalism and talent AMP brought to our event. I cannot stress enough how utterly amazing AMP is. Do yourself a huge favor and book them, you will not regret it for a second.

Zeke was so fun to work with, helped to keep the flow of our day on track, and crushed it for the dance party!! Paradox provided a questionnaire form for us to fill out before the wedding which captured all the details Zeke needed to know so that we weren't worried at all on the day of.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough about how happy I am that I hired Restless Voices for our holiday wedding. I have always loved a capella and when we decided to a smallish (40) person at home wedding, I knew I needed something that would be the right size for the venue while still being uplifting and engaging for the crowd that spanned generations. I reached out to Jordyn when we were all still dealing with COVID and they were so accommodating to my questions, worked with me on pricing, offered and helped me figure out sound for the ceremony, and provided DJ services. They were on time, dressed as promised, super flexible (it rained all day), and just all around nice. EVERYONE loved them and people I've never seen dance got up and shook their groove thang. As a side, the week of the wedding I had a family emergency occur in my immediate family and we were contemplating possibly postponing. When I told Jordyn she was so empathetic and supportive and while I'm thrilled we went forward, I can't say enough about how much her response meant. I continue to get calls from people who attended about who they were and have made at least 2 referrals. I am hopeful to have the pleasure of using them again for future parties!
