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 u...
nderstood 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!!

I cannot recommend Stumptown DJs enough, specifically Gianni, for any couple looking for a professional and seamless wedding experience.
From our very first consultation back in D...
ecember, Gianni was incredibly attentive to our vision. We had specific needs for a bilingual celebration, and he navigated those music preferences perfectly, ensuring both sides of the family felt included and engaged on the dance floor.
Stumptown DJ's preparation was excellent - we had a detailed timeline review in March where he walked through every transition, which really eased my mind leading up to the big day. On the day of the wedding, his execution was flawless. He kept the energy high, the transitions smooth, and followed our timeline to the letter.
If you want a DJ who is professional, organized, and truly understands how to manage a diverse playlist, book Gianni!

ng.
Jai went above and beyond to create a heartwarming memory. In last-minute preparation for the ceremony, our family collected audio recordings from both of our grandmothers who lived in different countries and couldn’t travel. Jai graciously worked to include their messages without any issue and maintained the surprise until the reveal.
Jai is not just a DJ; he's a true professional who knows how to read a crowd and create an unforgettable experience. We received so many compliments from our guests about how great the music was. He was a huge part of what made our wedding so perfect. We can't recommend him enough!

DJ Steven from Stumptown Dis was absolutely amazing to work with! He was super responsive, incredibly easy to coordinate with, and above all else, he genuinely cared about making o...
ur big day as special as possible.
My wife Chelsea and I are both big EDM fans (specifically House and Drum & Bass), and Steven not only incorporated our favorite styles seamlessly into the night, but he did it in a way that kept everyone from our friends to the older guests on the dance floor all night long.
Then, out of nowhere, DJ Steven pulled out this miraculous bubble gun and the look on the bride's face was pure joy! It was such an unexpected, magical touch that made the moment unforgettable.
The sound quality was absolutely top-notch, and all of his equipment looked and performed flawlessly. This is the real deal when it comes to wedding Dis-professional, talented, and totally invested in making the night perfect.
DJ Steven is 1200% worth every penny. We couldn't have asked for a better vibe, a better soundtrack, or a better person to make our wedding an incredible celebration. Thank you, DJ Steven!

Katie also checked in with us regularly to give us reminders on time or cues for the next event (ie. speeches or dances) which was very helpful! For the after party, we felt like Katie was very attentive to our guests and the dance floor by changing music appropriately to keep the fun going. Throughout the whole night, we got complimented on how our dance floor was among the fullest some of our guests have seen compared to other weddings they attended. Overall, we would highly recommend Stumptown DJ's for your next event!

livered! He was great at reading the crowd and playing songs that got everyone on their feet. He also surprised us by bringing a bubble gun, lights, and a 360 cam. What was most spectacular was that DJ Steven also created a special mix for our first dance so that we could do a fun choreographed dance to it. Our guests absolutely loved it, and we couldn’t be more thankful to Steven for making it happen. He helped us select songs for all phases of the wedding and was able to really set the mood throughout the entire event. We received numerous compliments from guests about how the wedding was so upbeat and had an awesome party atmosphere; DJ Steven was a large part of that!
Stumptown and DJ Steven were very organized and all wedding details were easy to communicate via their portal. We asked a lot from them, and they definitely delivered an amazing event. Big thanks to DJ Steven and Stumptown DJ’s!

sampling of songs for the cocktail hour, ceremony welcome, dinner, dancing, etc., and Katie did the rest! I can’t even tell you how many people complimented the music during our wedding, it really was just perfect.
Katie was also extremely professional and detail-oriented, nailing down all the semantics and specifics before the date to make sure everything went smoothly, which it did. I can’t say enough good things about Katie/Stumptown DJs in general, and highly recommend her and them for any event you have planned in the future.

ugh 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 provided a good chunk of music to give her a sense of our tastes for most parts of the wedding.

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!!

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 uncon...
ventional 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, i...
t 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 10/8/2...
3, 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 cal...
ls. 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.
