Ben, Mason and team pulled out all the stops for our son's Bar Mitzvah. Almost a year later and our friends still talk about how amazing the party was. Every one of every age had a blast and Ben read the room perfectly. He even did a Hora mashup out of a song I really wanted played and it was perfection!! Right DJ + right crowd = magic.

Due to some unforseen circumstances, I found myself researching DJs for my wedding on the Oregon…read moreCoast only weeks prior to the event. I found DJ Short Change (Change Dem Productions) on Yelp and read through his reviews at the time - all 5 stars. I checked out his website to learn more about him, saw that he had experience doing corporate and private events so I decided to initiate contact. Despite being out of the country on vacation and on basically different time schedules initially, Short Change was quick to respond to get the conversation started and the basic questions answered. He indicated he was available for our event and immediately made us feel comfortable, assuring us that he had everything under control. Boy, did he deliver. Having given him such a short runway for planning and with everything else going on, there was bound to be some sort of hiccup that came up yet DJ Short Change navigated the evening professionally and everything was executed perfectly - if there was a hiccup, we couldn't tell. Short Change nailed the all of the "must have" songs, played great music overall and read the crowd well. He kept the party moving... so much so that I asked him to stay an additional hour as there was no way we'd be able to keep up the same vibe. Do not hesitate to consider DJ Short Change (Change Dem Productions) for your next event!!!

If you want my advice, don't accept a position on the planning committee for your 30 year reunion…read more If, unfortunately, I'm too late with this advice and you're already on the hook, get yourself a killer DJ and (as Frankie says) RELAX. Booking DJ Shortchange was the best event-related decision I made. He's a total professional--proactive with communication, able to roll with last minute changes, and supremely easy & pleasant to work with. Change served as party MC, keeping the energy up and directing folks to the food, Photo Booth and (of course) to the dance floor. While this cat can throw down any musical genre like a pro (you gotta check out his reggae shows), I needed 80s music running the gamut from heavy metal and punk to R&B and New Wave. Change happily took requests from my classmates leading up to the event and during the party and brought his own flavor to the party. So the one worry I didn't have on the night of the event was that the music would be totally Off. The. Hook. Change is more than a DJ. He's a one person Party Machine. If you are hosting an event and you need music, good music, across any genre, do yourself a favor and book this dude.

We…read morewere told about them from a friend who works in the wedding industry and after a short discussion, we were eager to sign with them as our DJ for our wedding. As the wedding date grew near, we were assigned a DJ. However, after a few hiccups & an explanation of our music preference, PDX DJs switched Jesse (also known as DJ Good Things) to be our DJ for the wedding. Lexie & I had the ability to meet with Jesse via Zoom to go over what we needed the day of the wedding in terms of processional, recessional, first dance, and so on. Jesse was extremely easy to get along with and understood exactly what we needed to make our day special.   As our wedding day arrived, Jesse did an excellent job with all our DJ needs. Jesse was extremely professional, on time, and efficient. Jesse was particularly great at keeping the reception party fun and energetic by mixing our songs in a way that kept everyone dancing and engaged.   I would recommend Jesse and PDX DJs to anyone who is looking for wedding DJ services. They were super easy to work with provided an amazing experience on our wedding day.

DJ Thump was absolutely phenomenal and one of the best vendors we hired for our wedding! From start…read moreto finish, he was professional, easygoing, and incredibly easy to work with. One of our favorite features was the music planning app he provides. It was intuitive, easy to navigate, and made selecting our must-play songs, do-not-play list, and special dances simple and stress-free. It took so much guesswork out of the planning process. Our ceremony was outdoors on the beach, and the sound quality was excellent. Every song and every spoken word came through clearly, which was especially impressive given the beach setting. For the reception, DJ Thump provided uplighting in the ballroom, and it completely transformed the space. The lighting was beautiful and created such an elegant, fun atmosphere throughout the evening. The entire day flowed seamlessly thanks to his professionalism and experience. The transitions were smooth, the music was perfectly timed, and he kept the energy up while making sure everything stayed on schedule. We never had to worry about a thing. If you're looking for a DJ who is talented, organized, and a pleasure to work with, we cannot recommend DJ Thump enough. He helped make our wedding day unforgettable!

There is so much more to what Justin and his team do than simply playing music. The amount of thought, preparation, and attention that goes into their work is something I have come to really appreciate. Justin has a natural ability to read a room, understand the people in it, and know exactly what a moment calls for. Sometimes that means filling a dance floor, and other times it means knowing when to step back and let a moment unfold. What I appreciate just as much is who they are behind the scenes. They're approachable, respectful of the other vendors, and always willing to work together to make the evening better for everyone involved. Those qualities might not be the first things couples think about when hiring a DJ, but they make an enormous difference. I've also seen how much pride they take in their equipment, presentation, and the smaller details that guests may never consciously notice but absolutely experience. It's easy to recognize talent when the dance floor is packed. What has impressed me most about Paradox is that the same level of care exists long before the first song is played. I always look forward to working alongside Paradox Productions. There is a genuine respect for the people around them, a tremendous amount of pride in their work, and an understanding that every detail matters. Those are the qualities that have earned my respect and make them a team I will continue to recommend wholeheartedly.
