Stumptown was so easy to work with from the beginning and we selected DJ Katie as she seemed to really fit our vibe. As soon as we met her, we knew it was the right choice. She understood us and our intention for a cliche-free wedding perfectly. She took our playlist and built on it seamlessly, creating her own mashups (including such gems as 50 Cent/Toto and Black Sabbath/Ludacris!!). Everyone was dancing and raving about her, we didn't want the dance party to end! She was also incredibly organized, an amazing emcee and just overall delightful to work with. We need to throw another party ASAP so we can hire hire again!!

We're coming off our wedding weekend and wanted to take the time to comment on the sheer excellence that DJ Hector and Stumptown DJs brought to the event. Every step while working with them from introduction to ceremony wrap-up has been extremely easy and stress free. The owner even helped with some questions we had when he was home sick.
DJ Hector specifically was our chosen DJ and he rocked it. Music was absolute fire. The vibes were exactly what we were looking for and his level of professionalism and flexibility with last minute changes we threw at him made everything perfect.
Thank you Hector and Stumptown DJs!!

We had a wonderful time working with Jai at our wedding August 2024! We met with Jai multiple times over Zoom and in-person to discuss what we wanted for our day. He helped us through Stumptown's online portal which helped us outline what songs we wanted, what we wanted Jai to say and when in order to make the day go smoothly. We gave Jai a "vibe" that we wanted throughout the day and let him run with it. He did an amazing job curating a playlist and reading the crowd.
The day of our wedding, Jai was professional and efficient setting up his equipment at the venue. Sound and music worked perfectly at the ceremony, reception and on the dance floor!
We are especially grateful and appreciative of him helping out my brother (officiant) and father before their speeches. Making them comfortable and made sure they knew what to do with their microphones.
Overall, DJ Jai was a wonderful pick as our DJ as he seamlessly ran the ceremony through end of the dance floor and created a fun environment.

We love DJ Katie! Working with her and Stumptown DJs was really easy. The planning meetings were great and then the day of, she absolutely killed it. And thankfully was ok with our crazy friends adding last minute speeches! As well as taking their song requests (which we gave the ok for ahead of time). We provided a good chunk of music to give her a sense of our tastes for most parts of the wedding. What she added in fit really well with what we were envisioning and did help the dance floor get going. We got lots of compliments on the music and the mixing! A bunch of our friends are music nerds so that’s a great compliment to get! Would absolutely recommend her and Stumptown DJs. Thanks so much again!!

DJ Ty was absolutely incredible. My husband and I had, quite literally, the best dance party of our lives. The dance floor was COMPLETELY PACKED the entire night, and it was so much fun. DJ Ty knew exactly what to play to get people out dancing and keep them on the floor. When the party was finally over, one of our guests actually yelled out loud, "But I don't want to go home yet!" I cannot recommend Stumptown & DJ Ty enough! They're the best of the best.

We chose Stumptown DJ’s for our wedding music/MC management and could not be happier or more impressed with their service, specifically with DJ Steven. DJ Steven was our wedding DJ/MC and I cannot recommend him enough. His professionalism, communication, wedding management, and overall candor was incredible and was TRULY a major variable in the success of our wedding. His knowledge of every genre of music and his ability to make adjustments on the fly, based on the vibe of the party, was truly impressive. Not only was he incredibly professionally proficient, but also gave us a sense of calm and surety that sincerely helped on our wedding day. He went above in beyond in every way. I would HIGHLY recommend DJ Steven and the Stumptown DJ team for your special day.

Henry couldn’t have done better! We had a phone call a few days before the wedding to make sure we were on the same page. On the day of, he communicated with us throughout the day if things were changing and helped us get in line for the ceremony and grand entrance. He took song requests, played a limbo game for the bridal party and kids, and had the best ramp up for the end of the night. Absolutely amazing!

Katie at Stumptown DJs was fantastic to work with and made our wedding day truly special with the music. Throughout the day, guests kept telling us how great the music was—from the welcome music and cocktail hour to the reception. Katie's song choices added so much fun to the night, keeping everyone dancing until the very end. We really appreciate all the work and effort she put into making sure the music was perfect for our big day.
Stumptown DJs were also a breeze to work with. They made the whole process so easy, and we felt confident from the start that they were the perfect fit for our wedding—and they did not disappoint. We highly recommend Stumptown DJs for any event—you won’t be disappointed!

We rented Stumptown DJs Photo Booth and had Matt as an MC for our wedding.
The photobooth was everything we wanted and more. The guests couldn’t get enough, it was easy for all age groups to use, and the image quality is out of this world. I loved that we got all the pictures back after the wedding too.
Leading up to the wedding, we had two meetings where we discussed music choices + order of events. We were able to perfect every detail which made the day of feel a lot less stressful.
Matt was an awesome MC. He was warm & welcoming. He really knows how to get a crowd engaged and hyped up, while keeping the wedding on track. We are SO glad we had Stumptown DJs as a vendor.

Jai was just what we we're looking for, and he delivered. Great on the front end, and awesome when the time came. Great vibe, good humor, and he helped ensure everything went off well, be it handing us microphones in the midst of our ceremony, or pumping out the right jam at that right time, he was on it. We'll surely be recommending him to anyone else needing a good DJ for an important event. Thanks again, Jai & Co. !!!

Stumptown DJs were amazing to work with and I highly recommend using them for your wedding/party; especially DJ Benni. Our first conversation with Stumptown was just a run through of what would work best with our wedding’s size and style (200 guests). We originally were looking at a cheaper option, but they encouraged us to go with DJ Benni who has the equipment and experience with larger weddings and it was ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT! DJ Benni helped make our wedding EPIC. Everyone, from every age group, talked about how good the music was and how fun the dancing was and that was because Benni knew what he was doing. He MC'ed everything and kept the flow of the evening moving flawlessly. Additionally, we had multiple phone conversations/consultations before the wedding, which was extremely helpful and very comforting. He helped us map out what the evening looked like, ensured we weren’t forgetting anything, and helped us curate different playlists for different parts of the evening. He was really great to work with and definitely made our special day so fun! Benni, if you read this, thanks again! Truly an AMAZING night!

DJ Casey from Stumptown DJs was absolutely phenomenal! His communication throughout the process was clear and friendly and put us at ease right away. He was flexible with our unconventional ceremony location, and catered the playlists to exactly the vibes we were going for. Once the day arrived, he delivered big time by bringing the party - the dance floor was bumpin' the ENTIRE time from beginning to end. He also did a great job with the announcements and guiding people. Cannot recommend DJ Casey enough for your wedding or any event at all.

Hiring DJ Benni as our wedding DJ was the best decision we made for our wedding! Benni was a game-changer for our special day! From the first consultation to monthly check-in’s, it was clear we were in expert hands. We shared our vision and DJ Benni shared his thoughts based on the weddings he has DJ for, and he saved us on making some big mistakes as we are new to this. His professionalism and attention to detail were impeccable. Benni let us customize as much or as little as we wanted and would constantly encourage us to do what we want and not cave to “wedding norms”. We ended up having a classical version of Lord of the Rings as the processional and Top Gun Theme song as the recessional, our dog was our flower girl, and DJ Benni rocked every step of the way!
We had a tool to help us build out the timeline/flow of our wedding from start to finish. This allowed our DJ to know exactly what to do, and when. And in the case of an emergency if our DJ couldn’t make it, a sub could step in and execute. Which allowed me (bride) and the groom to enjoy the evening and not think about logistics. DJ Benni was also very flexible and easily adjusted on the fly for a few things too. The dance floor was always full, and DJ Benni played banger after banger! He asked us to create and share a playlist with songs we wanted played, the more the merrier, and to note our top ten “must play” songs. From there, he was able to understand the vibe we wanted, and he found songs that we didn’t think of that were major hits! My shy 10-year-old cousin was dancing and having the time of his life, and DJ Benni gave him his contact info and told him to call if he ever wanted to DJ. My cousin was over the moon and had the time of his life.
DJ Benni also skillfully read the room, adjusting the music to keep the energy high throughout the night. The sound quality was top-notch, and the equipment setup was sleek and unobtrusive. They also provided excellent MC services, making smooth transitions between ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, speeches, and dancing. His enthusiasm and charisma added an extra layer of excitement, making our wedding reception unforgettable. We received numerous compliments from our guests about the fantastic music and vibrant atmosphere. If you want a memorable wedding celebration, hiring DJ Benni is a must!

We found Stumptown DJs after Ty was the DJ at a friend's wedding, and we had such a good time there that we had to hire him for ourselves! We got married at the Evergreen on 10/8/23, and we loved having DJ Ty on our team for the big day. Ty was very thorough in reviewing all of our playlists and song requests, and he was knowledgeable about working in transitions between tracks for special moments, such as bridal party entrance and grand exit after the ceremony. Following the ceremony, Ty was super helpful in announcing special dances, cake cutting, and speeches. We loved the suggestions that Ty added into our playlists for dancing, and so many of our friends had a great time and commented on how much they enjoyed the music. Ty was also able to accommodate our request for a special private last dance, which we really appreciated. Again, we had a great experience with Ty and Stumptown, and we would highly recommend him for your wedding!

We can not recommend them enough! Professional, communicative, thorough, and reassuring. We chose Tier 3 (WORTH IT if it's in the budget) and felt well taken care of during our calls. On the day of, our original DJ (Casey- super great to work with!) wasn't feeling well but not only did they send a backup DJ (Jai) to save the day, but by the time we were filled in, Casey had already called Jai and filled him in on everything he needed for the day- no action needed from us to pivot, phew! And our guests couldn't stop raving about the music! Will definitely be recommending to any other bride and grooms to be.

Music and the dancefloor was something VERY important to us, and I feared finding a DJ who would capture the flow and feeling of the night would be difficult.
DJ Denis was incredible. Denis took our playlist and made the dance floor vibey, full, and busy all night. His spinning and mixing was top-class, professional, and flawless. All night, guests were coming up to comment on the quality of his work. Worth every penny. If you want a DJ who will play a bunch of boring tracks front to back with lazy transitions, Denis is not your guy. If you want someone who love music, loves a party, and loves to get people moving all night with good tracks, hire Denis and don't look back.

We couldn't have gotten luckier when we stumbled upon Stumptown DJs! After some research on their website, we knew we had to work with DJ Benni. Benni went above and beyond, accommodated live performances, worked with our custom tracks and very specific playlist requests. He kept in constant communication with us, having check-in calls every month leading up to the big day. He was enthusiastic, friendly, reassuring, and incredibly knowledgable. All of our guests had a blast on the dance floor and raved about the DJ of the night! Benni was also a wonderful full event emcee and ensured that the timeline flowed seamlessly, even when we ran over, and made sure that we didn't feel any stress as the bride & groom. Hire Benni and Stumptown - you will not regret it.

Ty was the dj for our wedding at the Abernethy Center this weekend and he did an incredible job. The dance floor was full all night long and everyone we talked to said they loved his transition skills and flow. He was super responsive and even rolled with several last minute changes that we made. We'd absolutely recommend Stumptown DJs and Ty to anyone!

DJ Katie was amazing to work with for our wedding. The Stumptown DJs database and timeline website was so organized, easy to use, and made planning with Katie such a breeze in the midst of all the madness of wedding planning. Katie hopped on a call with us several times to make sure everything was perfect, and she had our timeline down to a T on the day of the event. Our venue – Nordic Northwest – had two outside areas for the ceremony and cocktail hour as well as an indoor reception space, and Katie was there early to get everything set up and sound checked ahead of time. She was so fun to work with, and did a fantastic job making announcements throughout the reception and when we had to make some last minute changes to our Grand Exit plan. We looked at so many DJ options when we were initially planning, and I cannot recommend Stumptown and DJ Katie enough for a wedding. If you want clear communication, a great online portal for planning, and professional, fun, awesome DJs, look no further.

We worked with Stumptown DJs (DJ Ty) for our wedding in September and had a great experience. There was a bit of an issue with finding out which of their DJs was actually available, we were initially told that the one we requested was available, but then later were told they actually weren't. In the end, we ended up working with Ty and from that point on communication was excellent. He made sure he was clear on all of the details and frequently messaged with us leading up to our wedding day. We also enjoyed using Stumptown's music database website. It was easy to use and had a great selection of music and also areas where you can put in songs that weren't in their database. We decided to use Stumptown DJs after two of our close friends worked with them for their weddings and we were just as pleased with our experience. Would recommend!

DJ Samir with Stumptown DJs made our wedding a night to remember! Stumptown DJs worked with us on our last-minute booking ensuring we would have the perfect soundtrack for out ceremony and reception with less than a month's notice. DJ Samir was professional, kind, and funny; making him the perfect emcee. He was able to read the room and keep the party going during our intimate outdoor wedding. We had several guests ask us where we found such an awesome DJ! Everyone loved Samir, and we cannot recommend him enough!

We had such a wonderful experience working with Stumptown DJs for our Portland wedding! Matthew was so helpful throughout the planning process and DJ Steven was amazing at our wedding. Steven kept everything on schedule through the ceremony and reception and was so friendly and easy to work with. The dance floor at the end of the night was SO much fun! He did an amazing job getting people dancing while still playing all of the songs we wanted to hear. We would absolutely recommend Stumptown DJs and DJ Steven! He made our wedding so fun and memorable!

Best. Wedding. Ever. I was totally blown away by DJ Ty and his ability to communicate, be flexible, and play only the BEST jams! He also MCed the entire event and ran the photobooth, he is truly a one man show! 10/10 would recommend Stumptown DJs and DJ Ty for any upcoming music and fun filled events!

I can't say enough about our positive experience with Stumptown DJ's. My husband and I got married at Tin Roof Barn this September and DJ Steven CAME THROUGH!! Every single person that was at the wedding was out on the dance floor singing and dancing to EVERY SINGLE SONG Steven played. We even had a rouge guest look like they were going to try to give a speech and Steven was eyeing him and making sure if he needed to cut the mic he would. Steven is extremely friendly and the most easy vendor to work with. He made our vision of a crazy fun dance floor come alive. I will never forget this night with everyone singing in our prop microphones and it's all thanks to Steven. Can't say thank you enough. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Stumptown DJ's and HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend DJ Steven.

DJ Samir kept the party going! He was professional, friendly, on time, and really respectful. He checked in with us whenever the timeline was starting to sway and he provided a true professional opinion. He was fantastic.

DJ Bennie was awesome! He was very responsive and flexible to our ever evolving wedding during the planning process and talked with us multiple times before the wedding to make sure he understood us and our desires for the big day. He definitely kept the party going and everyone wanted to be on the dance floor thanks to him.

Jai is a talented DJ who was so helpful in the planning process of our wedding. We had an outdoor wedding with about 200 attendees. He's such an expert and knew how to handle a wedding of that size in an environment that can have some unpredictability. He's also just extremely kind and helpful. His chill demeanor was appreciated and he's very organized. Extremely happy with our choice and with the work that Jai did!

Booked with Stumptown for our wedding in Portland. DJ Steven was extremely attentive at communicating with us regarding questions and requests before and during our event! On the day of Steven was an excellent DJ, helping everything run smoothly and communicating well with our other vendors to make the event even better. And of course, the music was great throughout the day. We gave a small list of songs we wanted and some genres we liked, and Steven created a lively playlist around that. Overall we had a great experience with Steven and Stumptown and highly recommended!

Could not speak more highly of Stumptown Dj’s! DJ Steven just did our wedding at the Columbia Gorge Hotel and did an amazing job, we had several people come up to us after and say what a great DJ he was. He knew exactly what to play and when and was really able to read the crowd. The before process was also very impressive, their website and timeline review made me feel so confident about our wedding day and helped open my eyes at how important the DJ is during your wedding and how much more they do than you think. They were professional, kind, and I would recommend them to anyone who is having a wedding in the PNW.

We hired Stumptown DJs for our wedding and Benni was our DJ. He was great-- very responsive and easy to communicate with, and he listened to our input about what songs we wanted and what we wanted the vibe to be! He read the room and took people's requests. And he did a great job making the announcements and keeping our guests informed throughout the evening.

Stumptown, and by extension, Jai Christian, was an incredible partner when helping set up our special day. Jai met with us multiple times before the big day to really get a feeling of what we were looking for when it came to a DJ for our wedding. He listened to our concerns, and what was most important to both of us, and most importantly he executed! He kept the flow of the wedding day going and never once did we feel we were rushed through the various steps during the wedding. Also, the dancefloor was constantly packed with no dull moments which was one of the most important things for our wedding. All in all, we would highly recommend Jai.

DJ Jai from Stumptown DJ's was an amazing DJ for my wedding. He could read the energy in the room and chose the BEST music. He was a great MC and subtly prepped my dad before his speech, which my dad so appreciated. He was understanding and flexible with helping me choose music for our wedding playlist; we had in person and virtual appointments and he let me text him too! The flow of the wedding was perfect and he seamlessly transitioned into the timeline of the wedding and the dancing part of the night! He really went above and beyond, I will always highly recommend him and Stumptown DJ's for any event!

DJ Steven from StumptownDJ helped set the tone for our wedding. We wanted to throw a party for our friends and DJ Steven set the vibe and kept the dancing going all night.
Working with StumptownDJ was seamless and they were clear about all of the options and add ons that were available. They made sure all of our music selections were available.
StumptownDJ took the guess work out of the whole process and delivered on the day of the event!

Ty was our DJ and did a fantastic job at our venue Pomarius Nursery! We had a goth disco theme and he played perfect music for our wedding. I danced for a full 3 hours and had the time of my life. He didn’t play one song we didn’t like. He was really throughout in the planning process and checked in with us multiple times to make sure everything was just right. He was so kind and a wonderful addition to our wedding! The music at each portion of the wedding added so much to the vibe and overall perfection of the day! He did such a marvelous job and I cannot recommend him enough!! Hire Ty!

We met with DJ Casey when we first interviewed Stumptown, and we loved the vibe. We knew we wanted a disco sound, and DJ Casey's sample was the best we listened to on the website. It met our vibe requirements; he was great and easy to work with. The online timeline and playlists were easy to manage, but it was a lot of information to go through. The day was great. DJ Casey kept the music groovy, and the dance floor was popping.

DJ Casey from Stumptown DJ’s did our wedding. Honestly I’m not a huge DJ person but DJ Casey went above and beyond making our entre event flow seamlessly. We asked him for a millennial dance party and our friends were obsessed with the play list!

My husband and I were most adamant about finding the best DJ for our wedding day. We love music and we knew that the person in this role would need to help with the flow of the day. DJ Casey did not disappoint. I put together a few playlists and from there he was able to pick up the vibe we wanted for the wedding reception. Everything went seamlessly and I am so happy that we went with Stumptown DJs,

Stumptown DJ's are great and we absolutely loved DJ Steven! Matt (the owner) was so helpful and we have several phone calls to go over the schedule and expectations. We felt super prepared for the day of the wedding. DJ Steven was able to get all the music we wanted for our ceremony and reception. The music was the perfect millennial mix for our wedding. The timing for special dances was perfect and DJ Steven checked in with my husband and I all night and kept us on schedule. We cannot recommend him enough! The whole process was super easy and everyone at Stumptown DJs is super helpful and punctual. If your wedding is in the PDX area, my husband and I definitely recommend Stumptown DJs.

I highly recommend Stumptown DJs and DJ Benni! From the start it was clear that they are a step above the rest! From the initial inquiry phone call, to creating playlists on their online database, to the final check in with both Matt (owner) and Benni (DJ), the experience was organized, thorough, and fun! Benni set up and managed 3 different sound systems throughout the evening. He kept the dance floor packed for several hours! He also helped us stick to our timeline throughout the event. After my wedding, several guests told me, “I didn’t want the dancing to end!” and “DJ Benni was one of the best DJs I’ve seen at a wedding!” I could not have asked for a better experience or DJ!

Ty stepped in when our original DJ had an emergency two days before our wedding, and was professional and kind right off the bat. He called us to go over questions, get our lists of important songs, and even cut down our first dance at a weird section for us so we could have the second half of the song. We got SO many compliments on the music, but it was all Ty- he kept the dance floor popping all night, and even though we unhelpfully did not give him a last song suggestion or a cake cutting selection, his choices were so spot-on we had multiple family members sure we had planned it because the songs were both meaningful to us. We would 100% recommend Stumptown DJs and Ty, and are so thankful to him for saving the day.

Casey was AMAZING and connected us with everything we needed. The day ended up being really windy so he was able to hook up our live musicians to speakings while the ceremony was held outside. Casey was an amazing MC and such a fun DJ. We absolutely threw down on the dance floor. If only the dinner had gone more quickly, we would've been able to dance more!
