With a team of MCs and DJs who redefine party perfection, Paradox Productions guarantees non-stop energy and unforgettable nights. 

Picture DJs with superhuman mixing skills crafting tailor-made playlists—from throwback classics to the freshest beats. We couldn’t stop grooving on the dance floor the whole time.

They are also not just DJs—they’re award-winners and trendsetters. They were voted “Best DJ in Portland” by Oregon Bride Magazine and Willamette Weekly. 

Their specialty is creating immersive experiences, seamlessly blending a variety of music genres and visual elements. Their lighting effects and animations that correspond to the music made our experience more exciting!

While they deliver flawless execution from weddings to corporate events, some clients have experienced issues with the DJ’s punctuality. Some also complained about the DJs making mistakes in announcements, despite having a prepared script ready for them.

Organized, thoughtful, and professional DJ

“We feel so grateful to have the best DJ around! Justin & everyone at Paradox Productions have been so organized, thoughtful, and professional. We are beyond excited for our special day this summer with paradox productions at the helm of the DJ booth.”

Small details were left unnoticed, on the top professionalism and quality service

“Paradox productions knocked it out of the park! The attention to even the smallest details on such a monumental day didn’t go unnoticed and I can’t rave enough about them. Justin’s  professionalism and quality service from the beginning to the end is unparalleled, in my humble opinion. Thank you for exceeding expectations and making such an important day even more special!”

Unlike many DJs who rely on a standard setlist, Stumptown DJs allows a personalized journey through our favorite tunes.

They’re also masters of engagement because they don’t just entertain adults—they make sure that kids are not left out with their fun games prepared for them.

Beyond spinning tracks, we also loved how they seamlessly transitioned into the emcee role. They orchestrate events with precision and flair. 

The team at Stumptown DJs is also diverse, bringing a variety of musical backgrounds and styles to the table. DJ Avi, for example, seamlessly switches between languages, ensuring inclusive announcements that resonate with people of all cultures and ages.

You can book them for every occasion, from proms and dances to lively bar mitzvahs. Plus, they offer a silent disco service, perfect for those who love to party without making a peep!

While we grooved with them the whole time, there were occasional hiccups with last-minute changes or song requests not quite hitting the mark.

Flexible DJ and catered the playlists to the demanded vibe

“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.”

Blended music for a diverse group

“DJ Omar did a truly incredible job at our wedding and also on the planning leading up to the big day. We asked for a specific blending of music as we had a diverse group coming together. We couldn’t have asked for a better set. Thank you so much Omar and Stumptown DJs!”

JR Music Collective’s unique blend of live performances and DJ sets caters to every musical taste, ensuring an unforgettable experience for all guests.

Their all-inclusive packages, covering everything from sound equipment to curated playlists, made planning our event a breeze. They handled the details, so we were able to focus on enjoying the celebration.

Led by professional musicians and DJs, their deep musical expertise guarantees playlists to hit all the right notes. This made our event’s atmosphere a lot better.

Flexibility is also their forte! They tailor their services to our vision, creating customized music experiences that resonate with the audience. 

For folks who only want one type of entertainment, having both live performances and DJ sets might be a bit confusing. This is especially true when deciding which one to go with or how to mix them together for a particular event.

Moreover, smaller venues could encounter challenges accommodating both musicians with instruments and DJs with their equipment.

Professional and responsive team

“We were fortunate enough to have the John Ross as our DJ. We had a blast working with him on our music selections. He took the time to go through some songs we couldn’t decide between for our first dance and entrances and helped us decide. He also learned a song to play live for our processional and it turned out AMAZING. John and his team are super professional and responsive, too. 10/10 fantastic. “

Full high definition audio and cohesive flow of music

“We had an excellent wedding experience with John Ross music and our personal dJ Dillon! Their services came highly recommended from your perfect bridesmaid, our planner, and upon meeting with Dillon we were put at ease knowing the audio and music portion of our special day would be in good hands. Dillon did a fantastic job providing mic’d to audio for our ceremony and reception, and we were stunned to receive full high definition audio of both the ceremony and the reception speeches for us to treasure forever. We had a lot of ideas concerning music and they were consolidated into a cohesive flow that hit all the right emotions and made dancing at the reception and absolute blast. Dillon also helped provide instruments and mics for our family members to play live music during the reception, so special. We would highly recommend their DJ Services to anyone looking for extra peace of mind and quality audio on their special day.”

If you’re looking for your perfect maestro for a large event, Blackboard Music is the one for you! Their industry-level sound and lighting orchestrate unforgettable experiences for a big crowd. 

With over 15 years experience in rocking college campuses, high schools, and middle schools, their specialty is tailoring the vibe to match the energy and preferences of young crowds. They are also the go-to DJs of student organizations.

When it comes to weddings, their team collaborates closely with couples to curate the ultimate playlist and manage the event timeline. It’s no wonder they’re adored by couples seeking a personalized and unforgettable wedding experience.

We also can’t help but talk about their meticulous attention to detail. Every light, speaker, and song selection feels like it was plucked from a dream. This level of care sets them apart in the wedding DJ scene.

Blackboard Music also shines in the face of challenges, overcoming hurdles like power outages with quick resolutions to entertain the crowd.

Although they are more expensive than other DJ services, they are worth every penny!

Power went out and the DJ saved our event…

“Blackboard Music saved our event!  The power went out at our venue and the venue did not have a back up plan.  Our DJ took action immediately and started setting up all of his battery operated lights and mic’s so that we could have the ceremony and enough light for everyone to eat afterwards… We are so grateful for the resourcefulness of our DJ and for the awesome evening they delivered for our event! Thank you!!”

Excellent DJ service despite the outdoor wedding in a summer

“We asked Blackboard Music to DJ for our wedding on one of the hottest days this summer. He crushed it. It was an outdoor wedding so our biggest concern was technical difficulties, but it was all for naught. Everyone could hear the entire ceremony clearly! During cocktail hour and the reception, he played all of the music we wanted and loved and everyone danced haaaaard. 10/10 recommend using Blackboard Music for any of your DJing needs!”

The DJs at PDX DJs are masters of customization. They tailor unforgettable entertainment for weddings, corporate galas, and school dances alike. 

By diving deep into our preferences, they crafted a personalized experience that was both fun and sophisticated. It perfectly reflected the theme of our party.

Their expertise in creating the right vibe shines through their club-quality live mixing and sharp MC skills. They skillfully blend genres and respond well to the crowd’s energy.

Plus, their innovative playlists feature surprising tracks and remixes that inject fresh energy into every moment.

We also love that they’re equipped with cutting-edge gear, such as dual audio setups, photo booths, and lighting! 

Although we had a good experience with them, some customers mentioned experiencing occasional music interruptions and delayed responses before the event. 

Organized and fun service, talented and knowledgeable DJ

“Wow!! I cannot express how blown away we were with Vinnie for our wedding. From start to finish, our experience with PDX DJs was effortless, organized, and fun. From the online portal, to the consultation phone call, to the actual day, everything was made easy. Vinnie was so incredibly kind, talented, knowledgeable, and passionate about his work, and everything he did and played was exactly what we were looking for. As an MC he communicated everything perfectly and clearly, and helped the flow of the day go so smoothly I didn’t even have to think. He was extremely fun and got people to dance that I never thought would.”
