   Discussion by ellenlinus · August 2009 · Home› Local Wedding Boards› Oregon

   I'm looking for a recommendation for a DJ for our wedding next summer. If you've been to a wedding and thought the DJ/emcee was great, please let me know. Also, if you've seen someone that you didn't like, I would like that too. We want things to flow smoothly, not too "cheesey" and making sure everyone has fun. Did you go…

   DO NOT use Rich Ellis of POrtland PRO DJs. I posted and then deleted a post about him a while back. I deleted it because I heard of some story from the east coast where a lady was twittering about how crappy her landlords were and they sued her for 50,000 for character depravation (or whatever the technical name it) so I…

   we did Ipod, rented the speakers, no DJ, just a tech savvy cousin to keep it flowing.

People were up and dancing all night and we saved a ton of money.

   We used Clint Kuper fro Chad Dowling Entertainment. He did a great job, and wasn't cheesy- that was pretty important to us.Full review in bio.

   We're using Kevin Venables from Mobile Music Entertainment. I've heard nothing but good things about him in the emcee department (we chose him because he doesn't take over, nothing cheesy, etc.)I'll know if he's as good as they say in a month!

   We used Aaron of Maushole. He's not really an "emcee" but played great music, really cared about what sorts of songs we wanted, and he's a super nice guy.
