20 Years of Oregon Events
Zach Thomas started Apogee in Salem in 2006 with one DJ rig. Twenty years and 2,000+ events later, we are Oregon's full-service event company: DJs, photo booths, photography, films, planning, casino parties, and arcade games, one team, one invoice.
What we believe
One chance, done right
We only have one chance to get your key moments right. That's why every event gets backup gear, a planned timeline, and a 20-year bench behind it.
Straight prices, on the site
Every price is published on this site and in our booking system. No quote games, no hidden fees.
One team beats five vendors
When your DJ, photographer, and photo booth team already work together, the day runs itself, and bundling saves real money.
Local, not franchised
Studio inside Cellar 54 in downtown Salem, warehouse in Aumsville. We run events across Oregon, with service-specific travel shown in every quote.
Awards we didn't write ourselves
7× Oregon Bride “Best Wedding DJ” finalist (2013–2019), plus 2× oregon bride best audio/visual finalist.
Fun and easy
Our whole mission: make your event fun for your guests and easy for you. Planning happens online ahead of time, so the day is dialed before load-in.
