These guys are serious pros. I know them for their work as wedding DJ's. I shoot video for weddings, and so I see quite a few DJ's, some are just better then others. BlackBoard Music is one of the best studios in town. You cannot go wrong with them :-) More...

Simply put, Blackboard is heads and shoulders above the competition. Their attention to detail and quality control truly comes through when the event is going on - such an immersive and well thought out experience. Wonderful company all around - book 'em and rest easy! More...

Max is the best DJ in Portland, HANDS DOWN! We hired Max to be the DJ for our wedding last month, and our friends are STILL bringing up how fun and amazing the music, dancing, and overall DJ was. It's clear Max truly cares about people having a good time and knows how to make it happen. He's able to read a room perfectly, know what music to play when, what lights to use, and how to really get the whole dance floor moving. Not to mention, he has phonemail taste in music and is just an overall amazing person to work with. If you're thinking of hiring Max for your wedding or event, I cannot recommend him more. Throughout the entire process leading up to our wedding he was extremely communicative, responded to emails quickly, and even went the extra mile for last minute amplification for our ceremony. Thanks for making our wedding so memorable, Max! More...

We used Blackboard music for the DJ for our wedding and they were absolutely phenomenal!!! The DJ talked with us several times before, offering tons of wisdom/wedding advice. On the day of he coordinated the music and sound system for three different locations (ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception) perfectly. All the songs flowed well and he transitioned well between speeches to dancing etc. We had a Jewish wedding and our DJ got all our guests engaged for hora dancing and helped them along so it flowed well even for those who weren't familiar with that type of dancing. For the regular dancing portion of the night he was able to keep the party going for hours. So many of our guests commented on what a blast our event was and we owe a large part of that to the DJ for creating an amazing party with his music. Would recommend Blackboard music for any event!

I have worked with Max for two years now through my high school and his company is everything that you want in a DJ service. Max communicates well with you before and after the event, the DJ's are on time, they get the crowd involved, and always bring fun lights, fog machines, or whatever! I would HIGHLY suggest using Blackboard Music for any of your DJ needs!!! More...

Blackboard Music is the most professional music entertainment system I have worked with. The organization I work for always hires Blackboard Music for our events and conferences, and they never fail to deliver. Not only are they punctual and incredibly organized, but they have some of the best lights and equipment on hand for your event. They take the time to work with you on your needs and special requests and are incredibly accommodating and flexible. I've also heard great things from my old High School who always hires them for their school dances. Their DJ's are highly interactive with the students on the day of, and they work great with the dance committees in setting up and preparing for the event. You cannot go wrong with this well-rounded, highly-experienced company. More...

Blackboard Music is the perfect mix of professionalism and fun. Our DJ was great with song selection and working the crowd, but more importantly, he acted like he was running a business. Punctuality and ease of use alone should make Blackboard Music your number one choice. More...

We could not be happier with Blackboard Music. We used them for our son's Bar Mitzvah. They made the planning so easy, and when we got to the big day every single thing was perfect - the music, the lights, the ability to get everyone (from age 4 to age 90) up and dancing, everything. Something that made it really special for us was that our son is somewhat picky with his music, and likes a lot of stuff that isn't dance music - and they worked with him to mix some of his favorite music into the event so that he could hear it during appetizers, meals, transition times, etc. Then when it was time to dance they had the perfect playlist that kept everyone engaged and dancing the whole time! Our event was a luncheon which we know sometimes isn't what people think of as dancing time, but our DJ created an epic daytime dance party. Everyone had a blast. We will 100% book them again for our next event. Thank you for being amazing, Blackboard Music! More...

We hired Blackboard Music for our wedding reception. NO REGRETS! Max was our DJ and he did a fantastic job MCing the whole event. Great dinner/cocktail hour music and then the dancing was a BLAST. He was very good at reading the crowd and knowing which songs to play to keep the party going. He transitions between songs well so there are no odd pauses or delays. If a song isn't working he knew when to move on and how to make a seamless transition. Hire Blackboard for your next event and you won't be disappointed! More...

Blackboard Music was AWESOME. They showed up on time and were great to work with. Max played music all night long that got the crowd out on the dance floor.

I had Blackboard music do my wedding for me. I can not put into words how impressed I was with them. I had an outdoor wedding with limited power (basically an extension cord) I was a little nervous because my DJ was unable to make it to my rehearsal (he already had a homecoming booked) but on the day of the wedding he showed up early with all his equipment, set himself up and everything went perfectly for me to walk down the aisle. During the reception, the dance floor was PACKED. Not only with my generation, but my DJ knew how to keep the whole crowd happy. My grandparents were out busting a move. I could not be happier with how everything went. Thank you BLACKBOARD!!! More...
