Unique party atmosphere

DJ quality

Seasoned professional

We booked the Fire DJs for both our welcome dinner and wedding in Portland and are 100% satisfied with the amazing job they did. Lewis (manager) and Ethan (DJ) were extremely responsive, helpful, and understanding throughout our wedding planning process leading up to the wedding. We had to make a lot of changes to our playlist and couple dances last minute, which Ethan and Lewis were very accommodating with. They were very familiar with the venue (Bridal Veil Lakes) we booked which was a huge plus! Ethan was able to play songs from our playlist with great input from himself. He set up the equipment in a prompt manner at all parts of the venue. He energized the crowd and played great remixes and transitions throughout the night leading to a packed dance floor. Would definitely recommend the Fire DJs. So many people told us after the wedding Ethan and Lewis were the best DJs they have seen at a party event and wanted to book them themselves.

Planner approved! Working alongside Lewis at Fire DJs was an absolute breeze. He is professional, calm under pressure, and knows exactly how to build and keep energy high throughout the whole night. The transitions were seamless, the mic work was perfect, and the vibe was 10/10 from start to finish. Huge fan of Lewis and can’t recommend Fire DJs enough!

Hi, I'm Lewis, and my biggest love is music. It is a unifying force that brings us together, makes us smile, and creates unforgettable moments. Time and time again I get to see the magic of music. For example, when a bride walks down the aisle to her favorite song, when she and her father share a dance together, or when the whole wedding party gets down to the music. I hope to bring this magic to your wedding and share it with you.

e provided an acoustic guitarist for the ceremony. Actual things our guests said about Lewis from the Fire DJs: “best wedding DJ I’ve ever experienced” & “only time I’ve seen people mob the dance floor and it never cleared out” & “that playlist was banger after banger”. He also helped coordinate our Photo Booth and the music for our drag queens. And made us a special mix for our First Dance. He did it all with a smile. He really made our special day into an unforgettable dance party.

llent job reading the room, serving as our MC, keeping the energy up, and getting everyone out on the dance floor. The Fire DJs team was incredibly organized and thoughtfully guided us through every part of our wedding—from the ceremony and cocktail hour to dinner and the reception party. They helped us think through every detail, making music planning seamless and ensuring the entire day flowed perfectly. We couldn't have been happier with our experience and highly recommend Fire DJs!

ever they did not stick to my playlist for general dancing. They played quite a few songs on that playlist, but added some of their own. However, although they added some of their own, they picked songs that were popular and appropriate for the mood.

r musicians we hired at our wedding. He really listened to our wants and he DELIVERED. I didn’t need to request a single song and neither did our guests. I felt like I was at my own music festival and it was one of the most magical experiences of my entire life. He really assisted making sure we followed our timeline and was a fantastic MC. He even came to our rehearsal and serbio background music and audio for speeches. He was worth every single penny and I am so grateful to have worked with someone so talented and passionate!

I couldn't recommend Dominic and The Fire DJ's more! Working with them from the start was incredibly seamless and one less thing to worry about during the wedding planning process....

. Dom kept the energy high the whole night and nailed all the announcements. My wife and I were worried about the length of our first dance songs and Dom edited each song EXACTLY how we wanted so it wasn't too long. Most importantly, Dom kept the dance floor rocking the whole night and was super quick to play requests from our guests. We really appreciated how Dom handled both DJ and Emcee responsibilities and had the perfect amount of crowd interaction without being overbearing. We had multiple guests complement us on their interactions with Dom and how thoughtful and fun he was throughout the whole evening. Do yourself a favor and book The Fire DJ's for your special day!

ely responsive, knowledgeable and helpful. He truly made our wedding so much better than it already was. He was not only a DJ, but also an MC, and did an amazing job guiding our guests, and hyping our guests. The music he played was top notch. He kept everyone involved and dancing, and even came out on the dance floor with us a couple of times. If you are planning any event, it would be silly not to use Fire DJ's. Lewis is absolutely amazing and I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for making our wedding truly amazing!

had to move his set up out of the rain and make sure to get music going on time. He did incredible. He kept our guests entertained on the dance floor. I had so many people ask me where we found him and how he was the best DJ they had seen at a wedding. We all agreed he was the best! He helped us through rehearsal as well. I am so happy with the service he provided and the level of professionalism he exuded. You will regret not booking him!

f and his attention to detail was great. He even stepped in to help me install and neon sign for the reception (that was a surprise to us on the wedding day...i.e., we were not anticipating having to hang a sign). He saw the need and offered his help right away. We value clear communication, collaboration and respect between vendors and Lewis was outstanding in all areas.

Lewis was all we could’ve ever wanted in a DJ and more. He was incredibly organized, communicated well, had fair prices, and had the best equipment possible!! He came with multiple...

setups and got it all ready seamlessly. He played every song perfectly in the ceremony and handled requests with ease. The announcements were also clear and perfectly timed! He was such a great part of our vendor team and we felt so assured having him run the show as DJ and emcee. Lewis is professional, kind, fun to be around, and fully equipped. I would absolutely hire Lewis again in a heartbeat!

Spotify #1 song for 2022 was Emo Girl by MGK, so I was absolutely stoked to see you had chosen it in your dance tracks. I played it after Olivia Rodrigo's "Good 4 U" and your friends and family went crazy. Honestly was a highlight of the year for me.

h our playlists really smoothly, and made announcements to keep us on schedule. We had custom tracks made for our wedding processional, and Dominic was sure to double check that everything was perfect before the ceremony. A major highlight of the night was a guest set from Luxo, who absolutely killed it!! Our guests were talking about it all night. We were super excited that they were able to invite him out after finding out how into dance music we are. Dominic picked right up afterwards and kept people on the dance floor til late into the night. Later I found out he recorded the set as an extra wedding gift! Something I really appreciated was all the effort they put into the lighting. We were at Horning’s Hideout, an outdoor venue with lots of trees. They placed lights all over the lawn and pavilion, pointed up into the leaves of the trees, and it just looked incredible once the sun had set. Walking back to the dance floor felt like I was walking up to one of the wooded stages at some festival. Fire DJs made our wedding day what it was. Thank you!!

ughout and was present for most of our wedding and Danny was our DJ for the reception. We made the mistake of not hiring a Day Of Coordinator and Lewis really stepped up and helped us out way more than I would have expected. He checked in with us regularly and adjusted the schedule as needed to keep things flowing. The EQ and volume were perfect and everything from the mic'd ceremony, to the speeches and the music sounded great. The music was well balanced and loud enough to enjoy, but not loud enough to drown out conversation in the dinner space right next to the dance floor at our outdoor venue. It is clear that these guys are professionals. We were asked to provide playlists for the cocktail hour, dinner and reception and they did a fantastic job of using the provided playlists as guides. They played the music that we asked for, mixed in a lot of music that fit in well with our playlists and they were always up for requests. On top of all of this, both Lewis and Danny privided really positive energies. They were polite, fun to talk to and always had smiles on their faces. If I ever happen to have an event that requires a DJ in the future, I'll hire them again in a heartbeat.

ngs and moments in each song we wanted him to play throughout the ceremony, and he made it seem so easy. Lewis also has great MC skills and was able to enhance our event from the moment guests arrived. My best man played a DJ set toward the end of the night, and Lewis was gracious enough to stick around and totally vibed out with all of us while his equipment was being put to use. You made our dreams come true, Lewis - can’t thank you enough for contributing to our magical day the way you did. You really went above and beyond for us, and I will recommend your services/skills to everyone moving forward! Thank you!!!
