Weddings

In terms of important days in our lives, the wedding day ranks near the top. In terms of an event, quite possibly the most important event that you will plan or participate in. A wedding can be a joyous catalyst for drawing family and friends from the far-flung edges of the earth together, to celebrate the union of two of their favorite people.

Since 1980, Celebration Music and Events has been helping couples make their wedding day dreams a reality by offering the best in musical entertainment and accompanying services that the region has to offer. Our wedding services range from solo musicians, string quartets to dance bands, DJs, dance instruction, audio-visual rentals, custom suits and tuxedos.

 
Wedding Disc Jockeys:

Disc jockeys are extremely popular for weddings where space and budget are of primary concern. There are certainly many DJ companies available, all promising the best service, equipment, music library and personality, however, DJs are not all created equally and the choice should be as carefully considered as any of the other wedding service providers on your list. References are really a good starting point for making your DJ selection. How many events annually does the DJ company provide service for? Our contention is that the popular DJs don’t get that way by not working often. Our DJs provide services for over 200 events annually with most of those calls coming from referrals.

 

 

 
 
Wedding Reception Bands:

Of all the services we provide, the live band is one aspect of the event that guests fondly recall. As there really isn’t anything that generates excitement at a wedding quite like a great live band. Live dance bands have been one of our strongest offerings since our company’s inception. We provide live music to more weddings than any other agency in the Northwest, and work with the most popular variety dance bands in the area. In addition to variety dance bands, our huge talent roster has other styles such as jazz, big band, international, country or anything else you can imagine. With a quality band your wedding reception will be one your guests will remember for many years.

 

 

 
Wedding Ceremony Music:

The music performed at a wedding is a very personal and important decision that says nearly as much about the bride and groom as do their vows. In many cases, the great songwriters and composers express with music, the love that couples feel for one another, much more eloquently than they are able to themselves. At Celebration Music and Events, we pride ourselves on working with only the best and most professional musicians available in the Portland area. The range of musical options are limited only by your imagination. From the simple elegance of a solo harpist to the classic look and rich sound of a string quartet, Celebration Music and Events will work in concert with you to ensure that your dream wedding will be accompanied by the most beautiful music performed by gifted professional musicians.

Dance Lessons:

For some, dancing is a big part of the wedding reception. However, most people are not blessed with innate dancing skills and therefore could benefit from professional dance instruction.

Celebration Music and Events has on staff, professional dance instructors skilled in Latin, Swing, Ballroom, and various other popular styles. The lessons are affordable and the instructors are patient and very people oriented. As part of a package with one of our great DJs or bands, or as a stand-alone option, our dance lessons are a fantastic investment in the overall success of your wedding reception!

 

 

International Entertainment:

Escape the ordinary and create an international affair to remember! Honeymooning in Jamaica? Why not get a preview by bringing an authentic steel drum band to your rehearsal dinner or reception? Kicking back in Hawaii for a couple weeks? Can’t wait to get in that tropical mood? Celebration Music and Events works with several great, professional, and authentic Hawaiian and Polynesian groups and together, we can create the perfect island atmosphere for your special day! Heading to Mazatlan or Cancun immediately after the reception? Let the Margaritas flow, and enjoy great Mariachi music provided by Celebration Music and Events! We have many other international musical acts available such as Celtic, Klezmer and Polka to name a few!

 

 

Custom Wedding Suits and Tuxedos:

There is nothing quite like the look and feel of a custom, tailored suit to make a man look his best and feel confident. At Tailorit, we combine the elegance of fine imported fabrics and the skill of “old world” tailors to offer great looking, custom fitting suits and tuxedos. Choose from our wide array of colors, fabrics and styles and we will make the suits or tuxedos to the exact measurements of the groom, groomsmen, ushers and fathers for the big day. In addition, our pricing is not much more than most rentals and the men in your bridal party will be able to keep and wear their perfectly fitting suits for many years. No gimmicks - just guaranteed quality and fit.
