Paradox Productions

We have nothing but amazing things to say about Justin and Paradox. We received so many compliments from our guests about how kind and professional he was, even when just dismissing tables for dinner! Not only was he so incredibly helpful throughout the planning process, offering us advice and helping to guide our planning, but also throughout the entire day of our event. The resources (videos, app, etc.) that Paradox uses to help clients plan their music and their wedding day are invaluable, and way surpassed anything we saw from other DJs we had been looking at working with. Justin also had an amazingly sleek setup, perfect sound to for our space, and perfect lighting to fit the vibe we wanted for our reception. If all of that isn’t enough to convince you to book Paradox right now, we are still (a couple of months later) receiving compliments about how our wedding was the best party our guests had been to since before COVID and even our friends who don’t feel comfortable dancing couldn’t resist getting out on the dancefloor.

One of the main things I wanted on my wedding day was a total dance party. Since it was a dry wedding, you worry that people won’t join in. However, paradox productions totally set the tone. 70 year olds & 2 year olds were out on the dance floor absolutely tearing it up. The ceremony flowed so beautifully, and Justin made sure to keep us on schedule all evening. It’s important to note that Justin does not just play music. He planned and worked with us on an outline for the night, coordinated with other vendors, and got to know my husband and I via zoom meetings prior to make sure he knew our vibe for the day. My wedding day wouldn’t have been the perfection it was if we didn’t have Paradox there.

I am a wedding planner and have worked with Paradox Production numerous times working with Justin and Zacch. AMAZING! Everything about this company is top notch. When you book Paradox you know you are getting the BEST of the BEST. But I want to highlight Zacch for a moment. This past weekend i worked with Zacch for the 2nd time and once again was blown away by him. The first time working with him was a few months ago where he literally SAVED the day at one of my weddings. We experienced a total grid power outage (totally out of everyone's control) right after the dance floor opened. My clients have stated numerous times how dancing was one of the most important things to them. So to have the power go out and dancing to abruptly end. it was concerning and heart breaking. The owners of the venue were working tirelessly to get the generator hooked up but mentioned it could be up to an hour before we regained power. But before I could give the bad news to my clients, Zacch comes running around the corner with a very large and loud portable speaker with music playing from his phone. My clients and their guests lost it with excitement. The dancefloor filled back up and the party continued. Zacch hyped them up and kept the party energy up until we regained power and he was able to play his much anticipated DJ set. It was an incredible night and I owe it to him for saving the day. I expect many more weddings with Paradox and highly recommend them to everyone. THEY ARE WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!

Paradox Productions was amazing. Ezekiel Goodrick was our DJ and our event was absolutely beautiful, fun, and amazing! THANK YOU so much to you and your team for making the day as amazing as possible. Ezekiel absolutely exceeded our expectations. Ezekiel and team made it easy for us to share our wedding day timeline with them through an online template, that included any song requests/music vibes/etc. that we preferred at different points throughout the day. A week prior to our event, Ezekiel set up a call with me to discuss everything I submitted through the template and any last questions he had prior to the event. Ezekiel not only came prepared with notes we discussed prior to our event on the intros for our wedding party but he also followed our idea for our grand entrance to a tee (like he introduced us at the exact second we asked him to in a song for our entrance) he MC'd the entire night through toasts, cake cutting, family dances, the anniversary dance, bouquet toss, etc.. Ezekiel was easy to communicate with throughout the planning process and put both of our minds at ease when it came to the event. In addition, our guests (along with us) were dancing the entire night until the event ended. Music was perfect, we've even had friends reach out about how great the music/DJ was. Along with that, we had a mishap with the original photo booth we had planned (from another company) the weekend prior to our event, and when we told Ezekiel he was able to secure the digital photo booth at the last second for us. He handled everything with it in terms of set up/backdrop/tear down/etc. Justin (owner) also created a digital overlay for the pictures people took! It was absolutely amazing. I could not recommend Paradox Productions and Ezekiel Goodrick enough. Thank you for making our day so fun! :)

Zacch was absolutely incredible! Justin was too, for that matter. We had a long engagement and so we had a handful of meetings with Paradox in preparation for our big day and Zacch knew his stuff! He asked us helpful questions and gave us great suggestions for our ceremony and our grand exit. Everything was perfect! He made a point to announce all the bridal party's names correctly and pivoted when plans changed! I wish I had another big event coming up where I could book them. They were all so professional!

honestly don’t know if it’s possible to do a better job than Justin did for our wedding. From the day my wife and I started planning our wedding day, a quality DJ was my number one priority. I had high expectations. Justin absolutely blew those expectations out of the water!! If you’re looking for a DJ that will stand out and not play the standard wedding stuff, please do yourself a favor and stop your search right here and hire Paradox. Paradox’s entire process is very thorough, professional, and organized. We are so so pleased that we hired them.

Everything was amazing. We loved how you brought such great energy to dancefloor, and to the whole event. We also REALLY appreciated the professionalism, organization, proactive planning, and general "diled-in-ness" that you had through the whole planning process. It gave us so much confidence that it was all going to be great. And it was!

My wife and I were totally blown away by what an incredible job Paradox did making our wedding such a huge success last weekend. Zacch’s energy, talent, and grace could not have been more perfectly suited to guiding our evening. The music was exactly what we wanted, the vibe was ideal, the sparklers were unreal (and perfectly timed), and we knew that we were in great hands. He is truly a master of his craft. The sparklers were easily one of our favorite parts of the evening, and the photo booth (and backdrops) were also a huge hit. We spent the next day looking through our guest book with all the photos, and loved them. We have nothing but awe and appreciation for all of the amazing talent and energy that the Paradox Productions team poured into making our wedding so wonderful. Every penny was well worth it for such an amazing experience.

Justin was incredible to work with! He took so much care in considering our requests, and even fit in an odd song I really wanted for the end of the night- thank you Justin for helping us have the perfect wedding day!

We worked with Justin and Zeke for our wedding in Portland last summer and they were AWESOME! We booked them a bit late into our planning because we weren't initially sure if we wanted to pay for a DJ, but I'm so happy we did! 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. We had such a blast during the dance party and would recommend Paradox to everyone!

We couldn't be happier with our experience with Paradox. We felt seen and taken care of from our first meeting with the owner Justin, through every discussion with Devin, our DJ. Devin was amazing and really invested in every step of the planning and made sure our style and preferences were represented. On the big day he was a big part of making sure the flow worked, and everyone had a great time. I will definitely be sure to tell our friends and family to use them for all their most important events!

Justin Babbitt from Paradox Productions was the absolute best! He was so professional, experienced, and knowledgable. If you want someone who really cares about the flow of music, how it pairs together, and how it makes the audience feel. Justin is your perfect fit! He has a great application tool that made selecting the wedding music fun and effective. He schedules meetings and touch bases to make sure everyone is on the same page weeks ahead. He creates the whole timeline for your wedding day. He has top of the line equipment and fun add ons to help enhance the party! Everything was so effortless and smooth with Justin. We did not have to worry or stress at all with his guidance. All of our guests were out on the dance floor all night long and truly enjoyed it. They still talk about how fun it was to this day :)

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect DJ for our wedding day. Justin and his assistant were absolutely incredible. From the booth set, to our customized monogram he designed, to the epic playlist, everything was ideal. It was beyond our expectations. We are truly grateful and highly recommend Paradox Productions! Thank you again Justin!

Justin and his crew are fantastic! They're easy to communicate with, have really helpful wedding planning forms, and were FANTASTIC at keeping our AV going and keeping the dancefloor occupied. While our original DJ got COVID a few days before our wedding, they swapped in a new DJ no problem. Thanks to their system, nothing was missed from our day. Thank you all!

DJ Devin was absolutely amazing. You could tell he truly cared about our wedding day and wanted to make sure it was special. We were looking for a DJ who really knew his music and how to throw a dance party, and Devin was perfect! He is a very talented mixer, and we had so much fun! He's also a charismatic MC and all around lovely human. We can't recommend him enough!

Justin made our wedding a 10/10. He’s the best DJ In Portland that understands that he has to Cater to different styles of music and he took our style of music and made it into the best mix. We were looking for a DJ that would keep our wedding in the vibe and style we were going for and I’m so glad that we picked Justin. Highly recommend working with Justin at Paradox Productions. He has made this part of my wedding the easiest and stress-free. His attention to detail with the vibe of the room and mixing up the songs to get everyone involved was incredible. His personality is amazing and everyone loved him. He had great ideas for games to get the crowd involved too. I had to re-schedule my wedding and he was very flexible and understanding during covid. I highly recommend him for the best DJ in Portland. Fun working with someone so experienced!!!!!

Justin completely made the party happen. From ceremony to the reception (the most important part for us), his ability to get people on the dance floor and mix all our favorite styles and picks for music was seriously the best. If you want a party you won't forget, Paradox has the setup to make it happen.

12/10 recommend hiring Paradox Productions for your wedding. My husband and I are not big dancers so we didn't think our wedding would be much of a dance party. Boy were we wrong! Justin was so good, we never left the dance floor, and neither did our guests. At the end of the night my husband turned to me and said Justin was the best money we spent and if someone were to ask him wedding planning advice he'd say prioritize the DJ. He absolutely made our event what it was. Justin we can't thank you enough! You absolutely crushed it and we're forever grateful for all you did to make our day spectacular. Seriously, people keep telling us it was the most fun they've ever had at a wedding and we owe it all to you. Gus also received rave reviews :)

I found Paradox Productions when looking for a DJ on Wedding Wire. When I reached out to Paradox, Justin- the owner, was extremely professional and responsive. He recommended us Travis, one of his DJs, who was available on our wedding night. Throughout the wedding planning process, Travis and Justin reached out to us and helped us refine exactly what we wanted. The day of the wedding Travis showed up early and made sure every thing ran smoothly. He did a wonderful job with not only playing great music, but with introductions, music transitions, and keeping the party going. I would absolutely recommend Travis and Justin from Paradox Productions they were an absolute dream to work with.

Justin was absolutely incredible! He made our wedding day such a memorable experience for us and all of our guests. We have been getting rave reviews from all the guests commenting on how AWESOME the DJ/MC was! His superpower is being able to read the crowd and instinctively know what to do and say next. He catered to all of our requests and made the planning process so smooth and simple. Definitely recommend Paradox Productions... We want to renew our vows every year so that we can have him come DJ the party.

I can't say enough about Devin. He was communicative with us before the wedding, helped work through the flow of the timeline, showed up early to get setup, and worked well with our wedding coordinators. It was 108 degrees for outdoor wedding and reception. He had a great playlist and even though we didn't dance very much at all due to the heat, he still kept the mood upbeat with the music. Thanks again for everything!

DJ Paradox (Justin) did a wonderful job at my wedding last weekend 5/8/21. Justin was very professional but at the same time a blast. My husband and I had at least 5 guests come up to us saying they never dance at weddings but his music was just so good they couldn’t resist. We had so much fun with his music and energy. Justin also worked seamlessly with my photographer so we didn’t have to worry at all about the event timeline while we were in the middle of our wedding. I highly recommend his services!!!

Justin was incredible! He has such a sweet and passionate personality which makes it great for weddings. He was helpful and patient- I’m so glad he was our DJ!

Justin was great to work with. He's super organized and very professional; his flexibility and patience with us (we didn't know exactly what we wanted) was helpful and we trusted him to do a fantastic job on our wedding day. Which he did! In addition, the photo booth was also a hit and his assistant was super helpful. And may I add had the patience of a saint with my 5 year old niece who took a ton of photos! Music selection was great and Justin was quick when a song request was made on the spot. I got a lot of comments about how diverse his song selections were especially with a multi-ethnic party. My guests were very happy to party and dance. He also does an amazing job MCing and there were zero cringey moments. I appreciate all the work Justin did to make our wedding memorable!! If you're looking for a DJ, go with Justin and you will not regret it. Thank you, Justin!!

Justin was our DJ at the wedding for both the ceremony and reception and he was amazing! I had zero knowledge about DJ services, types of equipment and lighting... But Justin was able to talk me through everything, and he is very familiar with the venue location I have selected so he knew how many sound systems I should have as well as uplighting. And most importantly, he kept the reception fun all night! I am super happy that I went with Justin & Paradox Productions; highly recommended!

DJ Paradox absolutely crushed it at our wedding!!!! We had somewhat of a unique musical situation where we wanted to play Bollywood, Latino, and English music at our wedding and DJ Paradox worked with us to make our wedding reception a party that no one will forget! DJ paradox kept the party/dancing going all night. His skill at mixing music and feeling the energy of the crowd is un-paralleled. He seamlessly moved from song to song and made sure the energy was just right!! From day one his communication was awesome; he regularly emailed and quickly replied to emails. He even met with us in person a few times as well. He made the night perfect. He was very respectful and definitely worked with us to incorporate all the things we wanted to do at our reception, including a choreographed dance!!! DJ Paradox is a highly skilled DJ and MC; he is creative, respectful, and a ton of fun we recommend him 100%!

Justin was an amazing DJ to work with! We started off the process with an extensive phone call going over every detail and our needs/expectations for the day. We met in person the week before to finalize everything. He is very flexible with meeting times and places throughout the Portland area. My husband had some special requests and Justin completely delivered! At our ceremony and reception, he played the perfect playlists that matched our general ideas/song suggestions exactly and were a hit with everyone. We had an amazing dance floor the whole night and every part of the wedding went smoothly. Justin contributed some great ideas for the garter toss and anniversary dance that really stood out and helped make our wedding unique and special. Finally, two weeks before the wedding, I asked Justin to create a special father daughter dance song. He created an amazing mashup of fun songs that my dad and I choreographed a dance too! It couldn't have turned out more perfect. With smooth transitions and fun songs, we had everyone on their feet clapping and having a good time. We would highly recommend him for your wedding!

Paradox Productions is one of the best in the business. Justin has been the DJ at our nonprofit's annual gala for almost a decade, and we receive consistent feedback from our attendees about his music, tech, and presentation. In addition to their talent and professionalism, Justin and his crew are kind, problem-solvers, supportive, and fun to be around. Justin also goes above and beyond for nonprofits like ours with his attention to detail, acknowledgement of our purpose and mission, and provides ideas to help us raise the most money possible. He is multifaceted in his emcee, paddle-raise/program support, and DJ skills, and I would recommend Justin, and Paradox Productions to anyone seeking an excellent DJ/tech/and emcee experience.

Justin was very professional. He spent extra time with us to prepare for such a huge day in our lives. He helped make our wedding day cohesive, beautiful and fun. I would definitely recommend him to friends and we would use him again if we ever needed another DJ.

Highly recommend!! Justin was our DJ for our wedding night and he did such an amazing job!! Our wedding was in Ridgefield, WA and it just so happened to rain during our reception. Justin kept the energy going and the night moving! He was very professional, responded quickly, answered all of our questions and knew exactly what to do/play to fill in the gaps. Thank you so much, Justin, for making our night one to remember!

DJ RPM (Ryan) was so great for our wedding day. A few months before our wedding we found out our original DJ (from another company) wouldn't be able to make it and we were left looking for a new DJ. We heard from Paradox Productions right away and were directed to DJ RPM. He was able to meet with us near our home that same week which we really appreciated. We did not want to do a lot of traditional wedding things and we wanted to make sure we wouldn't have a DJ that tried to push group dances, etc. Ryan was very receptive to everything that we wanted and really connected with my fiance over music. He was always very responsive and easy to get ahold of and was very patient as we took forever to figure out our music. He also was able to cut down our songs for our parent dances into a good length without making the song sound cut off - he even was able to cut out all of the inappropriate parts of the Tupac song that my fiance chose for his first dance, without us even asking him to do - he sent it over the week before to make sure it was okay and it was perfect! He was so helpful the whole way through the process and was a great emcee for the night. We really appreciated all of his help and would recommend him to anyone!

We had Justin from Paradox DJ our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. He was so much more than a DJ he was almost a second wedding planner! Where his services were not cheap, it was worth every penny. Our ceremony was on a dock over a river with speed boats and guests came up to me and told me it was the first ceremony where they heard every word. The reception was amazing and he kept people on the dance floor the entire time. AMAZING I can't say enough.

Paradox provided master of ceremony and DJ services at our wedding reception. A very professional organization. Justin is a skilled craftsman. Would work again with Paradox.

We had the pleasure of working with DJ RPM for our wedding. He was very easy to work with and quick to respond to all of our questions leading up to the day of our wedding. On our wedding day he came and setup up all of the equipment and was very professional in helping us MC and keeping on schedule with our timeline. We would highly recommend DJ RPM! Thanks for all your help!

My husband's family owns a wedding venue and we used to live on the property. As a result, we have experienced many weddings and heard countless DJ's. With that in mind, I was blown away by Justin and Paradox Productions. Many of those weddings I watched from my kitchen window and listened to all night were lacking the energy and cohesiveness Justin created. Not only is Justin friendly and welcoming, he also put me at ease by explaining how he makes sure he is in sync with the rest of my vendors to ensure that the flow of our wedding was smooth. This may sound like a no brainer but trust me, it is a skill and requires attention to detail. Attention to detail that Justin has! Throughout my wedding as well as afterwards, I was approached by my guests telling me how great our DJ was. My Uncle even went up to Justin at the end of the night to tell him how wonderful the music was from the time guests started arriving, through the ceremony, cocktail hour and the entire reception. With everything a bride and groom have to worry about when planning a wedding, this does not have to be one of them. Do yourself a favor and book Paradox Productions so you can cross it off your to do list. I can not thank Justin enough!!

The BEST DJ around ⭐️ He kept the party rolling from dinner thru dancing and even brought amazing dance mixes to keep everyone entertained and grooving. Literally the entire party was up on the dance floor thanks to Justin! So happy! I am hiring him again for my next event!

We loved working with Justin! By far the best DJ in Portland! From the beginning he was very professional and took the time to get to know us and what we wanted for our ceremony and reception. He made sure to have the best versions of the songs we wanted and his website to upload music, look for ideas, and make payments made everything so easy and efficient. During the reception we had some guests be a little difficult and Justin was so calm and warm and got everyone engaged in what was going on. When it was time for dancing, he played all of our favorite songs and was great about reading our group-many didn't want to dance. He got out on the dance floor to help me lead a dance and taught others a dance later on to get more people involved and dancing when I was sad more people weren't out there. I could not have asked for a better DJ and MC for our wedding day and can't thank him enough for making our big day so memorable!

Justin really went above and beyond to make our wedding perfect. From the moment we sat down with him we felt at ease and taken care of. His attention to detail is impeccable and he's so fun to work with. The whole wedding ran so smoothly with Justin as our DJ and I received SO many complements from guests on how much they enjoyed and appreciated his presence throughout the ceremony and reception. Justin even stepped in when our caterers weren't taking care of us - got us our food and drinks and made sure we had champagne during the toast. Justin truly has a passion for his work and it really shows. I can't say enough good things about him. We are beyond happy with the services he provided.

Dj Paradox DJ’d our wedding on 9/16. I sought a number of DJs including paradox productions based on average reviews. After meeting with Justin, the decision for us was clear. His style and professionalism were very polished but his willingness to accommodate our vision and contribute to it was what we loved about him. While planning the ceremony, Justin was so responsive in helping me mix tracks and creat our unique atmosphere. Justin has an awesome ability to blend different tracks together and that was one of things we are still receiving compliments about now- over a month later. Justin mic’d the officiant and had our custom gobo lighting set up -he clearly had no issues setting up for the event which is so nice from a planning perspective. Between that and his gift for riffing off our photographer, there was no question that he had every ounce of experience we needed for our wedding. We had given Justin some suggestions for the feel of the music for the guest arrivals, and when it came time to accept guests, he chose a great variety that perfectly reflected what we were going for. During the ceremony, he didn’t miss a cue- the songs he helped me customize were a hit! Afterward at the reception, we had our grand entrance and it was positively electric.Justin managed the crowd so well during the entire reception, drawing people back in with his remarkable remixing ability, his selection, and the energy he created through different tempos and classic song choices. I absolutely recommend DJ paradox to anyone who values the importance of good music at a wedding. For us, his service took a good wedding and made it great.

We were so pleased with our experience with Paradox Productions. The whole team was really responsive and helpful. When our initial DJ was unable to make the wedding for health reasons, Paradox found us a new DJ with plenty of notice and we were kept informed the whole time. Our DJ met with us and really listened to what we wanted to the event to be. The night was a blast and the dance floor was full the whole night. Paradox was a pleasure to work with!

Justin was awesome to work with and really understood what type of party we wanted for our wedding- a 2.5 hour dance party during the reception. Justin had some great ideas on how to incorporate different wording and song choices into our special day. He paid close attention to all of our requests and didn't miss a beat. Guests of all ages had nothing but great things to say about his part in our big day. He was the perfect addition to our wedding and worth every penny! We would highly recommend him!

Justin from Paradox Productions was absolutely one of the major components that made our wedding such a success, hands down. He is very personable, and will tailor his work to fit exactly what you are looking for in a DJ for your wedding or any other event. Highest or recommendations!

We loved working with Justin! By far the best DJ in Portland! From the beginning he was very professional and took the time to get to know us and what we wanted for our ceremony and reception.

Justin was fantastic. He was easy to work with, helped us make decisions, and did a wonderful job with our music. Everyone danced and had a great time. So happy with his work!

DJ Paradox (Justin) was fantastic! He was our MC and DJ for our wedding and did an excellent job! From the ceremony to the last dance, Justin was engaging and kept all of our guests entertained. From our first phone call, we could tell Justin was just the type of DJ we were looking for. He played the style of music we liked, understood the vibe we wanted and offered a super easy website to fill-in all of our wedding details. We continued to be impressed throughout the night with his selection of dance music and kept everyone dancing until the last song. Additionally, the photo booth was an awesome added bonus to our wedding. We've never seen so many props! We were also lucky enough to have his videographer on-site to capture our wedding and can't wait to see the montage, which we know will be great!
