Cellar 54 Salem: Entertainment Guide for Oregon’s Best Underground Venue

Cellar 54 sits beneath The Forge building at 285 Liberty St NE in downtown Salem — and it’s unlike any other event space in the Willamette Valley. Underground, intimate, modern-edged. It transforms for whatever you’re planning: wedding receptions, private dinners, corporate gatherings, birthday celebrations, live performances.

Apogee Event Productions is the exclusive photo booth partner at Cellar 54. We’re on-site for events here regularly, and we know the space better than anyone outside the Cellar 54 team.

The Space

Cellar 54 holds 100–200 guests depending on layout and event style. The underground setting creates exceptional acoustics — sound carries well, fills the room cleanly, and doesn’t bleed outside. For DJ events, this means the music feels immersive without being overwhelming. For speeches and toasts, wireless mics carry clearly to every corner.

Entertainment at Cellar 54

As the exclusive photo booth partner, Apogee’s booths are already part of the Cellar 54 experience. We set up in the space regularly and know exactly where each booth style works best.

• Companion Booth: Our most versatile — fits cleanly in the space without overwhelming it. Great for wedding receptions and private celebrations.
• 360 Video Booth: Makes a statement in Cellar 54’s atmospheric setting. Guests love the slow-motion clips against the venue’s aesthetic backdrop.
• Glam Booth: High-contrast black-and-white fits perfectly with Cellar 54’s modern, refined vibe.

For DJ services, Apogee provides full setup including wireless MC capability, ceremony audio if needed, and cocktail-to-reception transitions. The room is intimate enough that even a modest DJ setup fills it beautifully.
