Guys there were only two things we knew our wedding needed to be a hit, good food, and amazing music. We were NOT disappointed.

He read the room, followed our requests, made great choices and kept everyone up and dancing.

HIGHLY recommended. A night we will never forget. Everyone had such a good time at the wedding from ceremony to the end of the reception. It was a huge success. Thanks for doing such a great job with your work. Thanks for staying focused and for entertaining the crowd.

Corey is a fun, energetic, charismatic DJ! His energy is contagious! If you are looking for someone who is easy to work with and will invest in your vision for your special event, you found him. He has DJ’d 4 different outdoor events for our family and all were well planned and executed. He has an incredible knowledge of music and will make sure to include your requests. I highly recommend Stay Up Entertainment and DJ Foxx for any event.

Corey, I wanted to take a few minutes to thank you for performing DJ services at our wedding. From our initial meeting to review our options with you and meeting to go over our venue, I could tell from the start we had chose the correct DJ service. Corey was very professional, upbeat and was able to make changes on the fly as we had to make a few changes to our timeline during the reception. Corey’s recommendations to songs we were in search of were spot on to the genre that we had chosen. If asked I will HIGHLY recommend. Thanks again

Corey did a great job. He was able to find songs i requested and didn't play songs i forbid. There was a couple last min. changes to the "walk down the aisle" song, but he was able to roll with the punches.

I can't thank them enough for getting everybody out of their chairs and enjoying themselves. It was not a smooth wedding by any means, they truly made my husband and I forget all about it and genuinely enjoy ourselves. We laughed and danced all night long. Thank you so much for making our wedding a night we will always remember. They even assisted during the ceremony which helped my crazy nerves. We would recommend them to any and everyone looking for a DJ who Is really passionate about what they do! • Melissa and AJ •

Lorraine  · married on 03/12/2016

They were an amazing host, kept the party going, played fun games and kept everything running smoothly for me. They asked me multiple times what I need and took care of everything so I could enjoy. Kyle and I could not be more pleased. HIGHLY recommended, everyone said it was the most fun wedding they had ever been to. It was epic.

Laurie  · married on 10/10/2015

I'm writing from the perspective from working in a hotel as a Meetings Director. I have had the pleasure of working with DJ Corey twice here at the Crowne Plaza and he is professional and fun from start to finish. Here is what you can expect: He calls to check in prior to the event, has great communication with the client, shows up early, sets up in an organized fashion, dresses professionally,AND he gets everyone on the dance floor! I would highly recommend DJ Corey he is awesome to work with and he can make your event a smashing success!

Corey did a fantastic job as our dj. He was very professional and did everything we asked for. 

Rachel  · married on 09/05/2015

DJ Corey was GREAT to work with!! He checked in with us prior to the wedding to be sure everything was all good. He played exactly what we were looking for throughout the ceremony and cocktails/ dinner. He was super helpful at moving people along and keeping things on track throughout the day/ night. The dancing NEVER stopped, people were out all night long and had a BLAST. He is quite talented at keeping the party going and knowing what songs to play when, when to squeeze in the right song requests, etc. We could not have been happier with our choice! DJ Corey was AWESOME and I cannot thank him enough for everything he did for us that night!

KIMBERLY  · married on 07/25/2015

ASK FOR DJ COREY! He had everyone at our wedding (about 350 people) totally satisfied. He played music that was suitable for our elderly guests, really listened and understood our taste in music (dubstep/dance/electronic mixed with country, classic rock, and a little bit of rap) and he kept the party going. He was flexible, SO accommodating and he just fit in with our crowd. He was always so respectful of my time and never added a bit of stress to my very full plate! From the timing of the music during the ceremony to his voice and crowd control on the mic to his awesome selection of music we were 110% satisfied. He is just a cool dude. 

Love - The Bride and Groom and the whole Gwin Wedding Gang. 

Ginger  · married on 07/04/2015

I had a fourth of July wedding and I have very random music selection and Corey hit it all and was the perfect balance of keeping in touch with me but not bothering me. I felt I could tell him anything and he would change on the spot. He played first request and all the song lists I gave him. I would definitely, and already have, recommend them for any event!

Chuck  · married on 03/21/2015

The DJ was helpful in choosing songs that we were having a difficult time deciding on. During the venue we had some adjustments in the timeline that the DJ didn't miss a beat and changed things up on the fly. 

Brian  · married on 09/27/2014

The DJ really connected with everyone, kept the evening energized and fun and was the consummate professional, showman and MC. We had over 100 in attendance and without exception, I was told it was the best entertainment they had ever experienced!

most entertaining and exciting DJ service in the Portland metro area! Not only do they know how to play music that will keep any crowd on the dance floor all night, they also liven up the party with games and above-and-beyond entertainment to make sure EVERYONE has a great time! I cannot recommend them enough - and I DO recommend them to everyone I know who is looking for a DJ! Thank you so much for keeping the party going all night!

GreAt service went above and beyond expectations. Stayed later than the time limit and was great! Could not have had a better Dj.

There are weddings where people say, "it was a good wedding" or "I had a good time at that wedding". However, if you want people to remember your wedding, raving about how great the party was and sharing stories of all the fun they had on the dance floor I HIGHLY suggest!

1) They were on time. Setting up and coordinating with our pastor and singer was not an issue. (They got started without us pointing them in the right direction.)

2) Nothing but professionalism.

3) Served as an outstanding master of ceremonies coordinating a variety of events throughout the night.

4) He played the music we requested. (You'll be surprised by all the DJ's that don’t if you just ask around.)

5) HE GOT THE MAJORITY OF OUR GUESTS ON THE DANCE FLOOR AND KEPT THEM OUT THERE UNTIL OUR VENUE CLOSED. He threw such a great party our guests were sad when he said he had to shut it down.

Mallory  · married on 09/07/2013

Wonderful DJs. Made our reception so much more fun. I've never seen a dj get so any guests dancing all night!

They had been recommended to us by our Photographer. We are so happy that we used this company. They made the reception so fun!

They are great to work with, very organized and flexible. Once we made our song selections we were had a phone consultation with our DJ, Corey before our wedding. We were absolutely impressed with how perfect he was on the timing of our ceremony songs. During the reception, we had NOTHING to worry about! Corey took charge and got us exactly what we wanted...a party with lots of dancing. He got us through the typical, first dance, cake, toasts, father-daughter/mother-son dances to give us plenty of time to dance with our guests. He took requests the whole night and kept the dance floor full the entire time. It was PERFECT! Thanks Corey!

Autumn  · married on 06/02/2012

Corey was amazing! We really enjoyed him and coordinating was very relaxing and smooth. They worked with our coordinator at the Crystal Ballroom and everything was amazing! Todd and I would recommend them to anyone getting married! 

Whitney  · married on 03/24/2012

All my emails were answered quickly and they called me several times beforehand to see if I had any questions or changes. They were wonderful at reading the crowd, keeping the event moving and getting everyone on the dance floor. I gave them free reign as to what music to play and they did an outstanding job. The two DJ’s made sure that we always had drinks and checked in several times throughout the night to make sure we were happy with the way things were going. They made my wedding very memorable for me and my guests!

Alyson  · married on 03/17/2012

We cannot even begin to express our gratitude for how much fun and organization they brought to our wedding day. It was spectacular in so many ways and they complimented it beautifully. 

They helped coordinate the ceremony, entertained our guests during dinner and while we were working our way through the tables to say hi, and then helped us get the party started with dancing.  

We received rave reviews on music selection and all the energy they brought to the day. You can't go wrong with them.

Sara  · married on 09/17/2011

FIVE STARS FOR SURE! Corey was so courteous! He had the perfect balance between consulting my husband and I during the reception for any changes but not being too clingy. He was great at reading the crowd and following the info sheet we submitted to him. 

Jesse  · married on 09/10/2011

The dance floor was packed and the DJ had everyone rocking! They were great and were doing everything to make it our big day.

Tami  · married on 08/21/2011

We had Corey and he ROCKED the house all night long!! Everybody said that they were so impressed with the flow of our reception and we have DJ Corey to thank for that. I was also EXTREMELY impressed with Corey being able to get my husband out on the dance floor by playing some old school "Gangsta" Rap for him some of his favorites actually. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants a smoothly ran reception.. Remember you don't just need a DJ who plays music you NEED an MC also and Corey handled both!!

Hannah  · married on 07/30/2011

I got married July 30th this summer, and we had Corey as our dj he was so sweet, and so much fun our wedding was like a club. We took forever to get our wedding planner to you guys, and you were so great, so patient, and got our wedding planned out in no time I was so happy with your service. We had such a blast, and he did an amazing job at our wedding, and I would recommend you guys to anyone! Thank you so much for doing such an awsome job!

We loved our DJ and the services that were provided. We played 2 video clips during our wedding and the DJ made sure they went off seamlessly. The music was awesome and we danced the night away. Many people came up to us to tell us how much fun they had at our wedding. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a great time!

The thing people still talk about from our wedding was our DJ. He played great music, respected our list/requirements, and most importantly, brought everyone together in fun and celebration. Would use again!

Our DJ was awesome. He suggested new and exciting ideas to use during the reception that were all a big hit with the audience.

kelly  · married on 03/24/2013

DJ made our wedding beyond fun for every guest in attendance, regardless of age, gender, familiarity with the wedding party. He was engaged with guests, and made the rounds when we, the couple, were engaged in our photos, eating, or just taking a break. We were taken by surprise numerous times in the night, when unexpected songs, routine dances, and games were introduced and we will never forget the amazing generational dance! If you want a carefree wedding, where you are not in charge of a playlist, entertaining others, or lighting up the night, PICK DJ Corey!
