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.

I have never danced so much in my life, and have never seen so many people on the dance floor at a wedding!

My husband and I found Ryan on WeddingWire. He was beyond professional and took time to meet with…read moreus twice before our wedding to make sure that he had a good idea of what we wanted. We selected most of the music for the ceremony and dinner, and had Ryan take the reigns when the dance floor was open. People kept telling us he was the best DJ they had seen at a wedding and we agree! He kept people dancing all night and was engaging. We even saw him bussing tables after dinner which was totally beyond expectation. 100% recommend Ryan for your next event.

Chad DJed and KJed our wedding from this past week. Everyone was really happy with his services…read more He went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed to have a wonderful wedding. Even though we didn't give him a lot of direction, he read the room really well in terms of what music would land. Also, Chad is just a really cool, sweet guy. He's the kind of guy I wanted at my wedding because he brings just a lot of light with his personality. I would definitely recommend supporting his business. The price was very reasonable and he was always very responsive via phone, email and even text. Do not hesitate to book Chad!

Chad was an amazing DJ and help in making my wedding day special!…read more I planned my wedding at Shirley's Tippy Canoe in Troutdale. The ceremony was outside which Chad set up his equipment first to play music before the ceremony started and special songs that I had selected for the ceremony. He then moved his stuff inside the restaurant for the reception and party. The guests had so much fun dancing and Chad always had the songs that everyone wanted to hear. He was so helpful in the whole process, always checking in to make sure everything was still on track and if there was anything he could do to help. He also helped me find my wedding photographer. I would highly recommend Chad and his DJ services. Excellent guy to work with, a great person, and amazing at what he does!

The props were wonderful, the pictures were clear, and there was an employee by the setup the whole time to keep the line and party moving!

I will absolutely be booking them again for our next event and you should too!

First let me be perfectly transparent, I do know the business owners but we are not close friends…read more I had my first opportunity to experience this brand new business yesterday at a company summer party. I was pleasantly surprised by how great Restrospect PDX was. They provided a fun, interactive, customized, photo-booth experience. I loved how the props were directly related to the theme of the party. The pictures print immediately and are also offered online so you can download them if you forgot to grab them as I did. Let me also state, I am not a huge fan of photo-booth experiences, frequently skipping them at most events. Retrospect had a very welcoming open feeling and the props drew me in, I couldn't wait to get some pics snapped, and honestly, I could have played around for a lot longer and gone back more than the second time, this is completely out of character for me. I don't know anything about their pricing as I was a guest but I can say I think they are surely worth every penny.

We had an unconventional marriage ceremony, and as a result, extended our festivities into a few…read moresmall, regional parties with friends and family. To celebrate with local friends, we wanted to have a casual, outdoor party at a local venue with some pizzaz. We crunched the numbers (alcohol, serving supplies, time, etc.), and decided that spending time with our guests was our #1 priority, so enlisting the help of bartenders would make the most sense. There were a number of reasons we were drawn to Public Provisions: local, lady-led team (yay, small businesses!), sample menus were aligned with our taste in beverages, genuine communication (flexibility, and desire to hear what we were looking for), and overall professionalism. Melaney was responsive from day 1, and had contracts, services, etc. already outlined in an easy to understand format. They went above and beyond to make things easy on us for the celebration day (including allowing us to taste/choose some wines) -- we did not regret hiring them, and would gladly do so again!

Melaney and Malia were amazing - so much better than expected, and we had high expectations after doing a lot of due diligence and asking around. They MADE our company gathering a total success.

Reminded me of my experience going to Multnomah Whiskey Library - everyone there is so passionate about their craft and are happy to share what they know - these ladies were the same way. Can't recommend them enough. Top notch.
