Craig is the best!

Craig is the best! He is professional, laidback, and super easy and reasonable to work with! Included in the DJ package are lighting and mics, and he was able to set up in two different locations at the same venue. I was even able to borrow some up-lighting he had for a photo booth station. He started charging per hour once I walked down the aisle, so the prelude music was complimentary; I thought that was nice! Luckily, there were never any mic issues and the music fit our style so perfectly.

Best dj ever!

Craig is simply the best. Our wedding was an absolute PARTY and we really have Craig to thank for that! He knows how to read the room, keep the energy high, and pump the tunes like no other. Our dance floor was packed the entire night. Thank you Craig / Silicon Forest Entertainment! 10/10 recommend!

Craig with Silicon Forest Entertainment is a fantastic person to work with. He is equal parts professional and incredibly talented. Out of all the DJ's I have worked with, Craig knows how to read a crowd better than most anyone and his choice in music is always current and top notch. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking to have an awesome dance party at their wedding.

I worked with Craig of Silicon Forest Entertainment this summer at a beautiful Bridal Veil Falls wedding, and I was highly impressed! He was professional, prompt, friendly, and was great at coordinating with me as a photographer to ensure I didn't miss any important moments. The sound for the ceremony was flawless, and later at the reception he made the transitions between cocktail hour, dinner, toasts, and dancing smooth and easy. And the dancing! Craig clearly knows how to read the crowd, because the dance floor was full and the guests were having a blast! I stayed for an extra hour of photos because everyone was having so much fun, I didn't want to miss a shot! I highly recommend Silicon Forest Entertainment for your wedding DJ needs.

I met Craig of Silicon Forest while shooting at the Oregon Golf Club. As a filmmaker/videographer audio is one of my biggest stressors. Having someone on the team who not only knows what they're doing, but is also helpful where I have needs/wants can really hope the day, and more importantly the wedding film, go all the better! I'm happy to say Craig was a real pro, from equipment to personal interactions and everything in between. Lots of people can come with a sound system and a playlist. I appreciated that Craig was helpful beyond the essentials! Looking forward to working alongside them again.
