What every Salem wedding gets

No matter which wedding option you choose with us, you will get all eight of these. Our Wedding DJ is $1,650 for six hours, and your DJ plus any photo booth is $2,445.

A great sound system, sized to your room

Your guests will hear every song and every word, because we size your sound system to your room and your guest count. In the Willamette River Room at the Salem Convention Center, we bring our own speakers and aim them at your dance floor.

Wireless mics for your toasts

Your toasts will reach your back tables on our wireless mics. The Reed Ballroom seats 264 under brick walls that bounce sound, so we aim your speakers to carry every word without blasting your front tables.

A second sound system for your ceremony

Your vows will carry to your last row on a sound system we set up just for your ceremony, with lapel mics and wireless handheld mics. At Zenith Vineyard and West Hills Vineyards, we use wind-protected mics, so the breeze will not take your vows.

Easy online music selection

You will pick your music online, on your own time, and our planner will guide you through the entire process, from your processional to your last song. Give us your must-plays and your do-not-plays, link your streaming playlist if you have one, and we will take it from there.

Dance lighting for your dance floor

Your dance floor will feel like a party under our dance lighting! We keep it off during your dinner and turn it on when your party starts. You will spot our lights above the DJ booth in the West Hills Vineyards photo below.

Uplighting matched to your colors

Your room will glow in your wedding colors with our uplighting, and it comes with every wedding at no extra charge. You will see it at Zenith Vineyard in the videos on this page, and in purple at The Space in the photos below.

A DJ who mixes and MCs

Your DJ will custom mix your music, introduce you, cue your toasts, and keep your timeline moving, so you never have to watch the clock! The same DJ runs your ceremony, your dinner, and your dance floor, and you will reach your DJ with any question before your wedding.

A backup DJ and backup gear

You will never be counting on one person with one laptop. We bring backup gear to every wedding, we keep an emergency DJ ready, and our HQ and warehouse are in Aumsville, just east of Salem.

What happens next

How we make your Salem wedding easy

You will not have to manage your DJ. After 20 years of Salem ballrooms, vineyards, and backyards, we know what to ask you and when. Here is how it goes, from your first message to your last song.

  1. Tell us your date and your Salem venue

    Send us your wedding date and the name of your venue. If it is the Salem Convention Center, The Reed Ballroom, Zenith Vineyard, or West Hills Vineyards, we already know your room, and you will see us there in the videos on this page.

  2. Get your price, travel included

    Your Wedding DJ is $1,650 for six hours, and your DJ's travel covers 50 miles each way from Salem, which takes in every Salem and Keizer venue. You will see your full price in your quote before you book, and you will book and pay online.

  3. Pick your music online

    Our easy online music selection will guide you through the entire process, from your ceremony songs to your grand entrance, your first dance, your must-plays, and your do-not-plays. Stuck on a song? Ask us, and we will share what other couples request.

  4. We plan around your room

    At The Reed Ballroom, we plan your ceremony at one end of the ballroom and flip to your reception during cocktail hour. At Zenith Vineyard, we plan for the wind on your mics. At West Hills Vineyards, we plan for where your power comes from. You will not have to think about any of it on your wedding day.

  5. We set up before your guests arrive

    Most days we are unloading at your venue at least two hours before our start time, and earlier at The Reed Ballroom, where all of it goes up to the third floor. We bring everything your ceremony and reception need, and we sound-check before your first guest walks in. Setup and teardown are included.

  6. Your DJ runs your whole day

    Your DJ will run your ceremony sound, introduce you, cue your toasts, custom mix your music, and follow your timeline. At the Salem Convention Center, where the building holds to its schedule and sound cutoffs, your DJ goes over the plan with the venue coordinator first, so your last dance ends on time and not mid-song. You get to be a guest at your own wedding!

Salem wedding DJ questions, answered

How much does a wedding DJ cost in Salem, Oregon?
Our Wedding DJ is $1,650 for six hours, from your ceremony to your last dance. That price covers your ceremony sound system, your reception sound with wireless mics, your MC, your dance lighting, your uplighting, and your online music planning. Extra hours are $200 each, or $300 each when a photo booth runs alongside your DJ.
Is there a travel fee for Salem or Keizer weddings?
Your DJ's travel covers 50 miles each way from Salem, so Salem and Keizer weddings are inside the included range. Past 50 miles it is $1 per mile, shown in your quote. Our wedding HQ and warehouse are in Aumsville, just east of Salem.
Which Salem wedding venues has Apogee worked?
You will see us at the Salem Convention Center, West Hills Vineyards, The Reed Ballroom, and Zenith Vineyard in the videos on this page. We have also worked The Grand Ballroom, the Willamette Heritage Center, The Space, and Green Villa Barn near Independence, and we are the exclusive photo booth provider at Cellar 54. If your venue is not on this list, ask us.
Does the DJ also MC the wedding?
Yes, your DJ is your MC. Your DJ will introduce you, cue your toasts, announce your key moments, and follow your timeline. You will plan all of it with us online before your wedding day, so nobody is guessing at the mic.
Can we add a photo booth to the DJ package?
Yes, and it is our most booked wedding package. Your Wedding DJ plus your pick of our seven photo booths is $2,445, and your booth runs all six hours. You will save at least $200 with any booth except the Companion.
What sound equipment comes with a Salem wedding DJ?
You get a great sound system for your reception with wireless mics, and a second sound system for your ceremony with lapel and handheld mics. You also get dance lighting and uplighting in your colors. All of it is in the $1,650 package, and we size it to your room, from the 264 seats at The Reed Ballroom to a vineyard lawn.
How do we pick our wedding music?
You pick it online, on your own time. Our easy online music selection guides you through the entire process, from your ceremony songs and your grand entrance to your first dance, your must-plays, and your do-not-plays. Link a streaming playlist if you have one, and your DJ will custom mix your music for your crowd.
What happens if our DJ gets sick or the gear fails?
We plan for both. We bring backup gear to every wedding, and we keep an emergency DJ ready. You are hiring a team of DJs, not one person with one laptop.
How early does the DJ arrive, and is setup extra?
Most days you will see us at your venue at least two hours ahead of our start time. The Reed Ballroom gets a longer head start, because every piece has to go up to the third floor. Setup and teardown are part of your price, and your sound check is done before your first guest arrives.

Is your Salem wedding date still open?

Peak Saturdays in Salem book 12 to 18 months out. Send us your date and your venue, and we will tell you.
