Literally everything. Audio support & speakers for all locations: ceremony, cocktail, reception. We specialize in all-inclusive packages including live music, audio support, and DJ services and lighting. We even bring our own tables and linens. The only thing we need is reliable electricity.
Yes, we travel! We mostly serve the Columbia River Gorge area, but we also work in the Portland area, throughout the PNW, and even travel to further destinations. For areas more than 45-miles from Hood River, OR we charge a travel & time fee. Inquire to learn more about destination weddings.
If it’s in the gorge and surrounding areas, we’ve likely been there before. If your venue is new to us, we’ll take the time to visit before the event. That way, we’ll have a feel for the space and know how the day will unfold logistically. We make sure to go into events set up for success.
Once we book your date, we will send you our planning guide. This comprehensive guide captures all the details we need to know, as well as logistics and music selections. Initially, we like to have you fill out as much as you can, and then we can jump in to help with recommendations. Usually, the planning process is a collaboration. We aim to have every detail and song selection finalized 45 days before your date.
Yes, of course! The planning guide helps us understand what you are into, this is your wedding after all! We cover “must play” songs or styles, and even have a “do not play” section. Our philosophy with wedding music is to honor your music styles and vision but also acknowledge that your wedding is a melting pot of your family & friends. We want to make sure you have the best night of your life and make sure all your guests feel connected and can relate to the music.

We’ll be as involved as you like. Most couples have ideas for about 60% of song selections and are looking for recommendations and suggestions for the rest. Ultimately, this is your day, and we’ll help plan as much as you need us to!
Yes, we are open to requests, we want to know what people want to hear. However, we do have a good filter in place to know what a good musical decision is, and what a bad decision would be. You can also tell us not to take any requests.
Yes, and we are happy to provide our insurance certificate.
Someone to make announcements and provide direction for guests is key to a successful event. This is something we include when we work events, and we would describe our MC-ing style as clear and effective.
Typically, we arrive 3-hrs before your ceremony start time. This allows plenty of time for set up, sound check, checking in with your officiant, communicating with your day-of planning team, and even having a moment to relax before the ceremony starts.
Not a thing. We provide everything we need including our own tables & linens. The only thing we need is reliable electricity.
We’ll start with an initial discovery call to learn more about your event and your vision. Then, we’ll follow up with a custom proposal. Once you accept that we can move forward with a contract and invoice. We require 50% down payment and a signed contract to make it official, and the date is yours. We would then start the planning process.
