I was skeptical about hiring a DJ because I have alwaiys felt like they have somewhat of a shady reputation (maybe thats just in my head). Some of the DJs I met with before our wedding definitely lived up to this reputation... I met with Sean f...
rom PDX DJs and he seemed very genuine and honest so we decided to hire PDX DJs to DJ our wedding. We are soooooooo glad that we did!!! OMG! they were so great! After we booked and paid the deposit I was nervous that the responsiveness from Sean would go downhill as it does with some companys. I was pleasantly surprised to find that nothing changed! Sean always responds super fast to emails, texts, calls, etc. He was a great help in planning our event which was awesome! Our DJ on the actual wedding day was Vinnie and he could not have been more perfect! He is a true 'turntablist' as they call them in the industry. He live mixed all of the songs together and did a great job picking songs that our guests loved! He hosted for us also which was cool. He and our coordinator ran the whole night! I just sat back and had a good time!
If you are considering hiring a DJ for your wedding, or any other event for that matter, please do yourself a favor and hire PDX DJs. You can thank me later!
From the second we hired them they were our favorite vendor. Sean (the owner) always replied to emails right away and answered all of our questions. The price was comparable to all of the other companies we talked to. On the wedding day we had ...
DJ Joshua and he was incredible! He was exactly what we had imagined for our wedding day. He was a grat MC and then kept the dance floor packed all night! Ten out of Ten for sure!
We hire PDX DJs and Photobooth to handle just the photo booth at our wedding and we couldn't have been happier! We were on the fence about having a photo booth at our wedding because we weren't sure whether guests would use it or whether it wou...
ld be tacky... well it was definitely not tacky and our guests definitely used it! All of our guests ended up in the booth at some point and we got so many amazing photos both physical copies as well as digital copies sent to us after the event! Thanks again to this company for adding and awesome piece to our wedding!
so glad we hired them. We could email or text any time of day and get a prompt response which is really helpful when you are stressed and planning a wedding. They played our favorite music and got grandma on the dance floor. I can't even think ...
of anything else we would have wanted from our DJ! pdxdjs is so great!
Could not have been happier with PDX DJs! Sean was communicative and flexible as we changed plans halfway through planning our 2020 wedding. Sean kept the evening on track, played fantastic music, and kept us dancing all night!
Response from the Vendor on 10/12/2020
Thank you Parris! It was an honor to be a part of your big day and I’m so glad that everything worked out despite the craziness that 2020 has presented!
While we ended up having to cancel our wedding as a result of COVID19 — we were impressed with the professionalism and timeliness in response from PDX DJs. We can’t speak to the services during an event but if they are anything like their plann...
ing and thorough website for you to plan your event then you’re in good hands!
We were thrilled with everything about PDX DJs. Theres not much more I can say! Everything went just as we had hoped and it didnt break the bank!
This was our best vendor by far. Everything with them was so easy and went so smoothly! Definitely recommend hiring them.
We are so glad we hired this vendor. we had such a great experience with them all the way through the process. Great help during the planning since we had never planned a wedding before. On wedding day they were amazing both at making announcem...
ents and also in the music they played. Our friends all had so much fun! Thank you guys so much for your great work!
Sean, the owner, was easy to communicate with and very nice. Vinnie, our DJ, was phenomenal! From the ceremony to cocktail hour, to the reception, everything was on point and embodied our musical taste. Everyone, old to young, was dancing all n...
ight! Highly recommend Sean and Vinnie at PDX.
We had sucha fun time at our wedding and it is mainly due to the awesomeness that is PDX DJs!!! We wanted a company that could professionally manage our event but then help us get a little crazy later in the evening. These guys were exactly wha...
t we were looking for! Sean runs the back end and hes very on the ball with answering emails, questions, etc. Lewis was our day of DJ and as I mentioned, he was professional when it counted but then partied the night away with us once the parents went home! We cant recommend them enough!
These guys were the perfect blend of fun and professional! During the early parts of our wedding they were very formal and professional in making announcements, hosting, etc. Then when it cam time to dance they got the reception CRAZY! Our wedd...
ing turned into the cities hottest night club! This is exactly what we were looking for and we feared that it would be hard to find. Most DJs we met with seemed to be great at one or the other but not both! We'll definitely be hiring PDX DJs again for something in the future!
PDX DJs was the absolute greatest part of our wedding day! Everything was perfect! Booking, planning, performance, EVERYTHING! We couldnt have asked for more. Thank you PDX DJs
We loved Sean at PDX DJs! We hired them to DJ our wedding and Erron our DJ was fantastic!
Sean always got back to us quickly to answer our hundreds of questions leading up the the event. He helped us make a timeline that made sense too.
Erro...
n was extremely personable and did a great job on the microphone. Then when it came time to dance he had everyone out there from beginning to end of the night!
Great Job Sean, Erron, and PDX DJs as a whole! Thank you for a magical night!
We were very weary about selecting a DJ since they can make or break an event... We were so glad that we chose PDX DJS!!!!! Everything went perfectly and our wedding night was a hit! We still get compliments on how fun the night was from all of...
our guests! Don't look any further! PDX DJs is the way to go!
They were the best vendor by a long shot! They made everything about our big day perfect! The DJ is the most important vendor in my opinion and PDX DJs didnt dissappoint!
These guys bent over backward to make sure we got everything we needed for our wedding! Sean was very quick with communication and helping us plan. Erron was our DJ and he was absolutely incredible! He hosted but also made for a great party!
Lewis and PDX DJs were absolutely amazing from the moment we booked them. Everything was executed to perfection, communication was impeccable and they were super friendly and accommodating. We would highly recommend using them for any event! Th...
ank you Lewis and PDX DJ's for helping make our wedding the best day ever!!!
-Curtis and Meagan
Wow! Steven was so amazing! He even got involved in our money dance and really kept the energy up all night long. Easy communication and super easy booking! And you can't beat the flat hourly rates! My venue was quite a ways out from the PDX ar...
ea and the major travel charge of most DJ's is what pushed me away from using anyone else. I would recommend though that if you want you "Must play" songs to be played (other than the standard wedding songs) that you have a discussion with the DJ before hand - I had guests do song requests and did some myself and very few of the requested songs were actually played... but other than that everything was wonderful!
PDX DJ's was the BEST choice we made for our wedding day. Stephen was our DJ and he was OUTSTANDING. Our guests ranged in age from teenagers to 70+ and he had ALL of them out on the floor dancing. We had 250 guests and at least 50 of them have ...
RAVED to us how AMAZING our DJ was and how "that man was worth EVERY PENNY". He went above and beyond to keep us on schedule, keep everyone dancing, and make sure we had the BEST night ever!! Thank you so much PDX DJ's and Stephen! If you are thinking about booking these guys, DO IT!!
We planned our wedding long distance from San Diego, CA which was very stressful, however Sean and his team made at least this portion of the planning completely seamless! Any time I emailed to ask a question I got a response immediately! Our D...
J, Vinnie, was incredible also. He kept the dance floor full all night. I've gotten so many compliments from friends about the DJ.
Stephen from PDX DJ's was above anything I could have asked for. Not only was the company extremely responsive throughout our planning process for our wedding, but their actual services on the day of were unmatched by anything else!
Stephen...
knew exactly what he was doing, and he kept our dance floor packed the entire night! I could not recommend them enough.
This was the best part of our wedding! We loved everything about PDX DJs. The planning was super easy with their online planning website. The DJ absolutely killed the dance floor! What an amazing night! Thank you so so so much PDX DJs!
We hired Vinnie at PDX DJs DJs for our wedding reception and I can’t say enough good things about him. What an awesome person!!! When I started the wedding planning process I had no idea just how big of a difference a DJ can make at ensuring t...
he entire wedding day runs smoothly. Vinnie went above and beyond as our MC, our DJ, and undercover coordinator making sure our ceremony and reception was everything we wanted it to be and then some. Sean (owner) is amazing at communicating via email, answering questions, accommodating requests, and trying to understand the vision you have for your day. And thats the best you can ask for in my opinion! Vinnie definitely thought our guests were completely out of control and some of our song requests were so ridiculous, but he kept the dance floor rockin' and rolled with it. And I am forever thankful for that. It was the highlight of our wedding and truly the time of our lives thanks to PDX DJs.
Hire them! Sean the owner as well as our DJ were both amazing! We couldn't have asked for anything better. Great music, professional MC work, and a ROCKIN dance floor! This is the best money you will spend on your wedding.
From start to finish, we were SO happy with our experience. Sean took the time to meet with me in person to talk about what we wanted for our wedding and paired us with the perfect DJ for our event. DJ Stephen MC’d the evening beautifully, kept...
everything and everyone on schedule and then kept everyone on the dance floor until the very last song. My goal for our wedding was that we have a beautiful dinner party, followed by an epic dance party, and with Sean and Stephen’s help, I got exactly what I wanted. Thank you!!!
Oh, and the photo booth was so fun for our guests too. Juan did a great job engaging with everyone. SO FUN!
From the very start, Sean was so professional and helpful. Music was a very important part of my wedding day, so I wanted to be sure I had a great DJ. Ty was our DJ for the evening, and he was absolutely wonderful! He was very professional, fri...
endly and the music was fantastic. He played all of the songs I requested and did a great job of filling in the rest. He made the day so smooth and nearly stress-free by handling all of the timeline logistics. If you're looking for an A+ DJ company, PDX DJ's is absolutely the way to go!
I would highly recommend PDX DJ’s. They recently DJ’d our wedding in the St Paul area and it was absolutely perfect. Sean is extremely helpful and communicates very well as the planning is going. Stephen was our DJ for the night and he was amaz...
ing. He followed our plan well and kept people engaged and dancing all night. All the equipment worked well and there were no issues at all. Stephen adapted well even when we fell behind in some planning prior to the wedding. Can’t thank them enough for their work.
Sean at PDX DJ’s was an amazing choice. He was incredibly helpful, responsive, and flexible throughout all the wedding planning and even came to our venue walkthrough a month prior. Pricing was very transparent and probably the most reasonable ...
out of several places I looked at. They also had an option for a photo booth that was quite cheap and the photo booth was a hit.
I was very happy with the day of DJ too (Sean has a team of DJ’s). The DJ called me up the week before and we chatted about expectations and requests which was very helpful. During that wedding he played great music so the dance floor was popping and was a great MC as well.
We loved working with Sean and Lewis for our wedding DJ service. Sean was always so prompt, helpful and responsive. He replied to any and all questions, provides a user-friendly client portal with a huge music selection and makes the process se...
amless and easy. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. DJ Lewis was our DJ for the night and he did a great job; he played all the requested songs, was super communicative and helpful throughout the night and was professional and super fun. These guys are great!
Sean, as well as the DJ during the wedding day, were lovely. Sean the owner was super professional. Making it easy to understand what they'd offer on the day of.
The DJ on our day, Stephen, was great as well. He called a week or so before the...
wedding to go over the list of songs we wanted and didn't want to hear during our day of, as well as making sure the overall feel for the different parts of the day were spot on.
When the groom and I were talking about our wedding, we just wanted to have an "epic dance party" and PDX DJs did not disappoint. There were a handful of guests (including my brother, and my now mother-in-law) that said they were NOT going to dance, and somehow Stephen did it. We had a HUGE EPIC dance party with a nice mix of music that brought together a very crazy group of friends, family, kiddos, and others. The price was right, the communication was king, and they made sure our day felt like us at all moments!
PDX DJ's is the way to go if you're wanting a DJ for your wedding reception! Sean (owner) is incredibly responsive to all emails, questions, and requests about your event. Their online portal makes it super easy to select what songs you really ...
want played, as well as some you don't want to hear. Pricing is very affordable compared to a lot of DJ's I found for planning our wedding. DJ Lewis was AWESOME. Not only did he play amazing music, take requests from the crowd, and let us sing karaoke, but he was an incredible MC. He made it a point to communicate with my husband and myself about timing, introductions, dances, etc. We were waiting for the wedding party to be introduced and he ran over to let us know that people were still getting drinks from the bar and as soon as everyone got back to their tables we would start-such a rockstar! His personality added a lot to our reception and for weeks following the wedding were hearing from guests how much fun they had and how great Lewis was. 10/10 would recommend DJ Lewis and PDX DJ's for any event! Thank you again!!
This company is so professional and their attention to detail is impeccable! From start to finish this was the easiest and best decision we made in choosing a vendor. Sean was amazing and our DJ, Stephen was fantastic! This is a stress free cho...
ice!
Overall, we were a little disappointed with our experience. All of our communication and planning with the owner, Sean, was wonderful. He was very responsive to our questions and explained the process of using the online portal to choose our ...
songs. However, communication with DJ Vinnie was not as good. We were told that Vinnie would be contacting us a week before our wedding to touch base with us, but it was four days before our wedding and we still had not heard from him. He didn't spend much time getting to know us and communicating with us about what we wanted. He did a pretty good job of acting as MC, but was not very engaging with the wedding guests and did not really get the dancing started as we had hoped. The music that he played during cocktail hour and dinner was perfect and was exactly what we had hoped for. We had put in our online portal that we wanted there to be lots of fun and dancing after cake was served, but the music that he played during dancing was not very fitting. We were underwhelmed with our experience with DJ Vinnie, but think that PDX DJs are still worthwhile because of how great Sean is.
From the start working with PDX DJ’s was awesome! Sean met with us in person to finalize bookings which was great and put us at ease! Our DJ Stephen kept people dancing all night and no one wanted to leave. He really understood the atmosphere w...
e were trying to create and appealed to all guests. He had great input and ideas on how to keep the night flowing and how to get people dancing. I would absolutely recommend this company!!! Thank you so much!
Sean was always quick to respond to emails and made everything really simple. Lewis was our dj and he was awesome. He did the announcements and made everything go smoothly. Thank you!
Steven was our DJ and he did a good job with the music but there were some technical difficulties. He did not bring any cords to our venue, leaving our day of coordinator to hunt some down for him. The microphone/ speaker during the ceremony wa...
s not working (but they are not charging us for that time which is nice). We booked PDX DJs after meeting with Sean and we didn't find out who are DJ was going to be until about four days before the wedding. I wish that we had been in contact with our actual DJ sooner. Also the client website seems a little outdated and awkward to use.
Response from the Vendor on 05/19/2018
Eva and Skyler,
I just wanted to reach out today to sincerely apologize for the technical issues that we had with the microphone during your ceremony! I feel terrible that we weren't able to make your day absolutely perfect. Unfortunately Step...
hen did not bring anything to shade his equipment as it sounds like he was told that he would be under cover as per our contract but he was not and consequently the microphone receiver overheated. He also was under the impression that there would be an electrical outlet within 50 feet of his setup location. He was not adequately prepared to provide 75+ feet of extension. I'm positive that there is more that could have been done on our end to avoid these issues and for that I am truly sorry. I had a face to face meeting with Stephen to go over these issues to ensure that he is better prepared for the unexpected and to make sure that these issues never happen in the future.
As for finding out who your DJ was, I truly wish you would have expressed your concern about this. Typically, the DJ doesn't reach out to you until after the planning portal is closed 2 weeks prior to your event. This way he has a chance to review all of your completed information before touching base with you. That being said, there have been many times where we have arranged for the DJ to reach out sooner at a clients request.
Overall, I'm glad that you enjoyed the music and that the rest of the evening went great. However I am very sorry that you were not 100% satisfied. I placed a refund check in the mail last week, please let me know if you do not receive this.
If there is anything else that you would like to discuss please don't hesitate to reach out via email/call/text.
I wish you a long and happy marriage!
Best Regards,

Working with PDX DJs was the easiest experience I had with a vendor for my wedding. Straight forward pricing, no surprise costs, and wonderful customer service. My brother and I did a fun choreographed dance and Sean (the owner) mixed our songs...
into a mashup for no extra charge! Our DJ for the night of the wedding was wonderful. We had our ceremony and reception in two different locations in the city and he seamlessly transitioned. He was always available when we had questions or needed something. I can’t stress enough how available Sean and our night of DJ were for questions. They were extremely responsible and reliable. I would highly recommend this vendor to anyone looking for a DJ.
I just wanted to thank you so much. Our reception was AMAZING. Stephen did an amazing job. He was so professional. The music was spot on and we just had a blast. I was so impressed with Stephen and the service of PDX DJ's. I will be recommendin...
g you guys to everyone I know.
I cannot thank you enough for making our reception incredible. We all know music makes the mood and I feel like Stephen read our party to a t. Thank you thank you thank you.
The PDX DJs were exactly what we were looking for, they always responded quickly to my messages and made sure to go over details to ensure the details were correct for our big day.
PDX Dj's was the absolute best! I never write reviews but I felt compelled to do so becuase our wedding would not have been the same without Michael our DJ. From the start PDX DJ's was very helpful and responsive to questions, and even helped u...
s figure out our vision for the ceremony and reception. The sound equipment they use and provide is top notch. Michael, was the DJ for our wedding and boy was he crowd pleaser! We could not have been more happy with our choice to use PDX DJ. I hope to have Michael and PDX DJ back for events in the future.
Planning a destination wedding can be tough, so it is CRUCIAL to find vendors that are very responsive, and these guys have that! Sean always got back to me the same day, if not within hours to answer any questions. I love that it's just one ...
flat hourly rate. Lewis was our DJ at the wedding and everything went off without a hitch. Every single guest (even the ones that claim not to dance) got out on that dance floor! Thank you for making our day SO much fun!!
Michael was an awesome DJ. The music selection was great, and announcements were timely and professional. PDX Djs was professional and helpful from the planning phase all the way to the last song. Would highly recommend!!!
PDXdjs is the way to go! We worked with Sean during the planning process and he was very responsive and easy to work with. Michael was our day of DJ. Wow he really started the party - he danced all night and played the best music. I really like...
how he transitioned in between songs and all at the right time. I would definitely use them again!
My husband and I got married in June of 2016 and we used PDX DJ's for our ceremony and reception. The transition from both events was perfect and there was no awkward transition time. We requested the DJ help in making sure the reception stayed...
on time. Not only did this happen but it was so nice to not have to worry about the events of the ceremony but to enjoy our day. We gave them a schedule of events and they executed perfectly! On top of being friendly to us, our family and friends they played fun music and took requests. We met with the owner, Sean, to talk about what kind of music we wanted and to play and some that we did not want to hear. They were very understanding and respected our requests. I will for sure be recommending PDX DJ's to friends and family in the Portland area who will be getting married. They were a huge part in making our big day one to remember! Thanks PDX DJ's!
These guys were great! I was so busy, worried, stressed about all the details for the entire reception and I really didn't give myself much time to figure out what I wanted as far as the music went. I met with our DJ once to discuss our event t...
heme (Hawaiian) and mentioned a few notable artists that I liked and some that I didn't like. That was basically all the instructions I had given. Our DJ had perfect timing and knew exactly what to play and when to play it. He didn't need any direction from me. I would recommend this business to anyone who needs someone to just 'handle it'. One less thing to worry about!

I started DJing in high school just performing for friends at first and then started taking professional work. As I perfected my craft, I worked in bars and nightclubs all over the San Francisco bay area.
In 2013 I moved to Portland, Oregon and started PDX DJs. The decision to start PDX DJs came after attending multiple wedding where the high priced DJ was lacking both in his hosting abilities as well as his mixing technique. I decided to start PDX DJs in an effort to provide top notch service for a simple and affordable price.
