Why it matters
At a company event, the entertainment is part of your brand.
Executives, clients and teams notice how the night is run: who holds the microphone, how the program moves, whether the booth looks like it belongs in your venue. We treat every one of those details as a reflection of the company that hired us.
Presence. Attire matched to your dress code and a clean, discreet setup that suits the room.
Program. Confident emcee work, smooth microphone handoffs and timing coordinated with your planner and AV team.
Energy. Music read live from the room, so every age and every department ends up on the same dance floor.

Event producers, organizers and venues, in their words.
Justin has been the DJ at our nonprofit's annual gala for almost a decade, and we receive consistent feedback from our attendees about his music, tech, and presentation.
As an event producer I want vendors I trust and who have the experience to make the Champagne Ball better. Justin and his team at Paradox Productions have consistently provided that.
As a one-woman show managing all aspects of the event, I rely heavily on my vendors to keep things on track. Justin was incredibly reliable and proactive, always reaching out with creative ideas and suggestions to enhance the event experience.
I hired Paradox for a work conference reception which can be difficult as the demographics of the attendees vary but Zacch rose to the occasion. He was amazing!
We have used Paradox Productions for an employee holiday party for three years in a row! … They do a great job of feeling the crowd and playing music that keeps the dance floor full!
His communication, his attire (yes, being properly dressed to guests dress code) and setup was one of the best I have ever seen in our state.
We have over 300 people at this event and I kept hearing all night great DJ! Made the event very special with lighting, photo booth, games and dancing!
He took the time to understand the event vision and executed it to absolute perfection.
We used Justin at our Annual Holiday Party and he was awesome. … We have already asked to book him again for a third year!
See Justin on the mic.
Introductions, timing and command of the room, the same emcee work your guests will hear at your event.
Production
Turn the venue into the event.
The two additions our corporate clients book most, designed to look as considered as everything else in the room.
Lighting production
Light changes how a room feels long before the first song. We design it to shift with your program.
- Uplighting for reception and dinner, with color movement for dancing
- Glowing tube lights with a minimal footprint
- Intelligent dance floor lighting for the moment the party begins

Photo booths
Digital booths with instant sharing, on site prints guests take home, 360 video booths and more. We match the format to your crowd and your venue, so the booth becomes a highlight of the night and a stream of photos your team shares for weeks.
Included with every booking
A professional DJ and emcee, professional sound system, wireless microphone for remarks, dance lighting as wanted, custom music programming with your input and requests, backup equipment on site, and planning with your venue and team.
The standard
Founded by a Marine. Run to a Marine's standard.
Justin Babbitt founded Paradox after serving as a U.S. Marine, where he learned what it costs when the person responsible for a moment is not fully present. Every DJ and emcee in our collective is held to that standard, whoever is behind the booth at your event.
Our team includes club residents, PGA Tour event DJs and seasoned emcees across Portland and Central Oregon.

Event day
We arrive well ahead of guests, set up, sound check and lead the room.
Can your DJ also emcee our program?
Yes. Every Paradox DJ hosts and handles announcements. We plan the key moments with you in advance, from welcome remarks to award introductions and sponsor recognition, and manage microphone handoffs so your program keeps its pace.
Will you work with our planner, venue and AV team?
Yes. Planning and coordination with your venue and team is part of every booking. We align timing, load in and sound with your planner and production partners before event day.
Can we choose our DJ?
Yes. You can request a specific Paradox DJ, work directly with our founder, or let our team match the artist best suited to your audience.
How do you handle music for a mixed audience?
Every event is programmed around your input and your guests. We read the room and adapt in real time. Requests are welcome, and you can give us a do not play list for anything that should stay off the air.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry $2 million in liability insurance and can provide a certificate naming your venue as additional insured on request.
What if equipment fails?
We bring backup equipment to every event and arrive early enough to resolve anything before your guests do.
Do you travel?
There is no travel fee within one hour of Portland or Bend. We serve Oregon and Washington, including Seattle, and quote events farther afield.
How long is coverage?
Events begin with two hours of performance, and additional hours can be added. Setup and breakdown happen outside your performance time.
How do we reserve our date?
Once you approve your quote, a 50% retainer reserves the date. The remaining balance is due ahead of the event, as outlined in your agreement.
