About

Apogee provides Wedding Planning & Design, DJs, Photo Booths, Casino Parties, and Photography Services Across the Willamette Valley, Central Oregon, and the Oregon Coast.

DJ: Your DJ will follow your timeline, make announcements, custom mix your music, and provide a great sound equipment, mics, dance lighting, customize your playlist, make announcements, and be as generally helpful as possible while remaining professional, not cheesy.

Booking and planning your wedding with our DJs is simple, and YOU get to choose the DJ who you work with, at the price point you choose. If you’re not sure, we would love to play matchmaker for you and help recommend the best fit for you!
If you choose to book online you will get a consultation with your DJ and work with them personally. You will have immediate access to your online planner where you can manage everything. This lets us know as much about your party so we can do the best possible job for you! You will have an easy online account where you can add must play, do not play music, and upload a Spotify list. Our planner will help guide you through the music selection process and give your DJ all the information we need to do a great job for you! One of the best things about working with Apogee is we have multiple DJs as a backup in case of an emergency, and we have a long running history as one of the undeniably best DJ companies in Oregon.

PHOTO BOOTH: Apogee photo booths are fully equipped with a top tier camera, high-resolution printers, and a variety of fun props and backgrounds to choose from. Guests can snap silly selfies, group shots, and even GIFs, making Apogee Photo Booths the perfect addition to your event. But we don’t just stop at the booth, we also offer thousands of customizable photo layouts and templates, including personalized photo strip designs, social media sharing, and instant digital downloads wifi permitting. This means that your guests will be able to take home a physical copy of their photo and also share their memories on social media sometimes on the spot.

PHOTOGRAPHY: Pictures are at the heart of everything we do. From a selfie on vacation, to the before and afters of your latest renovation of your house or creating memories of perhaps the biggest day of your life. At Apogee we believe your photographs must grab your attention and make you say “wow”. Where you will continue to think and talk about them long after the first time you’ve seen them. As time goes by we want you to relive that moment again and again through your photographs. Our Photographers don’t just create images they capture striking compositions, bold colors and interesting lighting that add expression to every click of a camera. These pictures tell a story from the getting ready process all the way to the send off by building on each other to convey that feeling like it is happening all over again. From many cheering faces to potential tears of joy Apogee will capture those moments that are meant to last forever!

Wedding Planning & Coordinating: We will take create your timeline, communicate with other vendors, stay in touch with you, and meet you at your needed level of service. We can help you through design ideas, décor, setup, etiquette, advice, and money saving tricks and tips! The average Oregon couple spends 250-500 hours planning their wedding which costs you more than time. When you hire Apogee, we can give you back that time, stress, and even bundle your DJ and photo booth together in our Apogee Experience! Save time and stress with our industry knowledge, vendor network, and multiple division of services which makes booking and managing your wedding with us easy!

WEDDING CASINO: It's not just great for grandparents, groomsmen, and non dancers, this is a huge for the whole party! We offer the newest trend of entertaining your guests with a mobile casino and our knowledgeable dealers will help teach and entertain your guessts. We play with funny money and if you would like to do a raffle for a top earner at the end of the night, we will help you! We offer blackjack, craps, roulette, and poker.

I had the pleasure of working with Zach and Ryanne of Apogee Events for my wedding. I had chose just the day of coordination with Ryanne but she was so much more. She was beyond helpful throughout the entire planning process and always had advice or that second set of eyes that saw something that I missed. Zach's website for building my playlist was super user friendly and so easy to use. Both Zach and Ryanne were very professional and made my day that much easier on me. I can't thank either of them enough for the amazing job they did. I highly recommend them for any event you may be planning.

Thank you!!!

Apogee Events was everything we could have asked for! We opted for the package of DJ service, Photo Booth, Videographer, and Wedding Coordinator and you definitely get what you pay for. Whenever there was a question about anything Zach and Meagan were very responsive and answered every question we asked. They are there to help from the day you book them until the wedding is over. Meagan helped to make everything run smoothly the day of the wedding and I (the bride) could not have been more grateful. Everyone always said that the day of the wedding is the most stressful but I can honestly say that was not the case here. If it were not for the Apogee staff then maybe it would have been. My groom and I were even changing our introductions and adding ceremony music the day of the wedding and Zach made sure everything was done just the way we asked. He played to our requests and the requests of our guests and we couldn't of had a better reception! We recommend Apogee to all of our friends and anyone who is looking for top notch service.

Thank you Zach, Meagan, and the rest of the Apogee crew!

Here we are, one week (almost) since our daughter's wedding. I think one word would describe it... perfection. We hired Zach as the DJ, and Ryanne as the "day of" coordinator.

Both were outstanding choices, as well as the two other team members that helped with the Herculean task of putting up 200 lanterns and poms. It looked exactly as we had envisioned! Ryanne helped guide us in what we would need to achieve the look we wanted, and the result was picture perfect. It was also nice to have her there to greet the vendors and to keep things moving. Honestly, I loved doing the details of the wedding myself, but on the day of... it was so nice to have Ryanne there to do the things that I just didn't have time for. I really felt like I was able to enjoy the day from start to finish. For all of you Mother's of the Bride out there... you need a coordinator.

As for Zach, he was fabulous. The music flowed seamlessly from the ceremony then throughout the reception. His personality was perfect for our event, and he really seems able to read the crowd, and that is a gift. At most weddings there always seems to be awkward pregnant pauses during the toasting... but not here, like I said, seamless. My daughter even commented to me that Zach came to check in with them during the reception see if they needed anything. I loved that he went the extra mile to make her feel special.

All in all, Apogee Events & Weddings was the perfect choice for us.

Zach with Apogee Events is an amazing DJ. He really payed great attention to detail in order to make our wedding truly an amazing day. Zach played music for our wedding ceremony as well as our reception and really did an exceptional job. He was willing to meet with us multiple times before the wedding day to help us actually plan our entire wedding reception. We really would have been lost without him. Our guests only had tremendous things to say about him as he made our reception go off without a hitch. We highly recommend Apogee Events for any party. Couldn't have asked for any better. Overall AMAZING!!!

Event - Prom:
Right from the get-go I could tell that this business would provide great services. My first phone call was with Zach. He was an extremely kind, easy to talk to, understanding and experienced individual. He made all negotiations easy and answered all of my questions. Regardless of the how many things I had to run through administration before getting the contract signed, Zach was patient and willing to deal with the situation. He never suggested to buy the more expensive DJ & Lights package because he recognized that it was unnecessary, he truly helped me pick what was right for the amount of people.
The event itself was amazing. The goal of our Prom committee was to hold an unforgettable dance and I can honestly say that it was achieved. We could not have done it without Zach as well as Josh, the DJ Apogee events provided us with. He was very engaging over the microphone as he would offer money to those who could show off the best moves etc. Not only that, he took direct requests and played dance music for almost the whole dance.
The only suggestion I have after working with Apogee events is to tell the DJs not to remix or extend most songs. Besides that minor thing, Apogee is the best out there and I strongly recommend going to them for any occasion. Thank you again Zach and Josh!

With our experience having Apogee Events, we found them to be exceptionally courteous, very well prepared, and altogether a fantastic deal. We hired Zach Thomas as our DJ already knowing the positive rapport he builds with each of his clients and how much effort he places into satisfying his clients’ needs. We had a very particular list of songs and arrangements needed for our wedding and he accommodated every request handily and even offered many useful and clever suggestions for how to keep things lively and fun all through the night. In addition to providing well-practiced DJ-ing abilities, Zach was able to even supply a mobile dance floor and a generator, ensuring that wherever the event is, the party can come too. We asked Ryanne to be our wedding coordinator three weeks before our event with nothing but the venue and the DJ selected. Ryanne was able to step in last minute and delivered on every detail from attending all final appointments to designing wedding favors. She stayed up every night for a week perfecting unique crafts to give our event a personalized feel that was entirely us. The day of the wedding ran smoothly and peacefully under Ryanne’s inspired management, allowing for us to enjoy the day to the greatest potential. The day truly could not have come together to meet our vision if not for Ryanne bringing our ideas to reality. Suffice to say that any event that we should need fun, helpful, and valuable entertainment for, Apogee Events will be who we call.

Highly recommend

Apogee was fantastic at DJing our school's fun run! Their communication was excellent, and they were very flexible with weather and last-minute changes. They brought great energy to the event and really helped keep the kids excited as they ran. Highly recommend!

We loved our daughter's DJ! Some DJ's tend to be "cheesy" and make the night awkward...not these guys! They keep the flow of the day steady and the dance floor full. We Highly recommend them!

I very highly recommend Zach. He was WONDERFUL for my backyard wedding. His online planning tools made it so easy to plan ahead, and all of our music selections were played without a hitch. He is extremely responsive, even during the crazy bride planning period. He kept things moving throughout the evening efficiently and smoothly and he worked very closely with the photographers and coordinators. My photographer has done MANY weddings and she recently told me that Zach is the best DJ she's ever worked with. His uplighting was beautiful, his equipment was top notch, and the photo booth was SO MUCH FUN. I very highly recommend Zach for any event. You won't regret it!!
