A Night to Remember

Spenser Saling, Portland Area Wedding DJ

About the DJ

I'm a game developer by trade. But I have a passion for music and visuals.

I've been playing, writing, and mixing music my entire life.

Recently, I became fascinated with stage lighting, to the point of creating my own stage lighting software.

Through the years, I developed an intimate understanding of the gear involved in a DJ setup.

Why I DJ

Simply put, because it's fun!

I love weddings. It's an honor to be a part of such a beautiful day. I enjoy crafting a fun, danceable atmosphere and energy for the reception.

Because it's not a full-time job, I bring an energy and enthusiasm that most DJ's can't.

At my first gig, I even hooked up the venue's overhead string lights to my lighting rig. Every light in the place was synchronized.

Jon & Megan
"We can't thank you enough for all the time and energy you put into making our wedding celebration one of the best and most memorable days of our lives. Your love and passion for your craft radiates from you and set the tone for the entire evening. People were drawn to the dance floor and would not leave (literally)! We had so much fun and many people told is it was the best reception they had ever been to, which would not have been the reality without you."

Equipment

Sound

I rent sound equipment from a reputable, local company. This ensures that every show I do has the ideal sound setup. If you want to go bigger, that is always an option!

Lighting

I have one of the best light systems you will ever see from a personal DJ. The setup contains pars, derby lights, light bars, strobes, moving spotlights, and more. I even bring 4 edison bulb string lights that can be controlled with the rest of the setup. Or I can take control of string lights at the venue if possible.

Most importantly, my lighting setup runs on a app I designed myself. Captivate allows me to synchronize every light to the music in a way rarely seen outside of a high-production show.

Redundancy

I recognize how imporant it is that things go perfectly on the big day, so I plan for redundancy at every reasonable point in the system. I run lighing and sound on separate laptops, but each laptop is capable of running both if need be. And I bring a dedicated backup phone that is pre-loaded with hand-selected songs.
