What we do

Weddings first. Everything else too.

We run the music and the microphones, from the processional through the last song. Clear sound, a dance floor that fills, and nobody wondering who is supposed to be making announcements.

Weddings

Ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Wireless microphones for your officiant and your toasts, dance-floor lighting, and an MC who keeps the evening moving without making it about himself.

School dances

Homecoming, winter formal, prom. Clean radio edits only, a playlist built with your students, and a setup that is loaded in and tested long before doors open.

Corporate & holiday parties

Background music through dinner, a microphone that works for the speeches, and dancing afterwards if that is where the night goes.

Birthdays & private parties

Anniversaries, graduations, quinceañeras, backyard parties. Tell us the room and the crowd and we will bring the right amount of system.

Prices

Our rates are on this page.

Most DJs make you book a call to find out what they charge. We would rather you knew now, so the conversation we have is about your evening instead of your budget.

Wedding — six hours

$1,150all in
  • Ceremony sound included — not an add-on, and it works outdoors with no power nearby
  • Cocktail hour and reception coverage
  • Two wireless handheld microphones plus a lavalier for your officiant
  • Dance-floor lighting
  • MC duties — entrances, toasts, dances, the send-off
  • Planning meetings, a timeline we build together, and your must-play and do-not-play lists
  • Setup, teardown and travel anywhere in Central Oregon
Additional hours $175 / hr Most Central Oregon venues require amplified music to stop at 10pm, so we will tell you honestly whether you can use these.
Three-zone coverage + $200 Ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all wired at once, so there is no gap and no gear moving past your photographer.
Uplighting, eight fixtures + $250 Colour wash around the walls of your reception space, set to whatever your palette is.
School dance, three hours from $750
Corporate or holiday party, four hours from $700
Private party, four hours from $500
PA system rental, per day from $150 Speakers, stands, a mixer and a microphone, delivered or collected. For bands, graduations, meetings and community events.
Booking. A signed agreement and a deposit hold your date; the balance is due before the event, never after. Cancellation, postponement and wildfire-smoke terms are written into the contract in plain language, because this is Central Oregon and August is August.
Why us

What you are actually hiring.

Enough system for any room

We own ten powered speakers and two subwoofers. That means a 40-guest ceremony under a juniper and a 200-guest reception in a barn get the right amount of sound, not whatever fits in one car.

Your ceremony will be heard

A battery-powered system runs a full outdoor ceremony with no power within reach, and your officiant wears a lavalier rather than holding a microphone through your vows.

Backup for the things that fail

A wired microphone already plugged in, spare cables, and a second music source in the bag. The most common way a reception goes wrong is equipment, and we plan for it.

We answer quickly

You will hear back the same day. Couples consistently say responsiveness is what earns their trust, and it is the easiest promise for us to keep.

Service area

All of Central Oregon.

Ranches, vineyards, resorts, barns, golf clubs, event halls and back yards. Travel is included anywhere on this list — if you are just outside it, ask and we will quote the drive.

About

Two of us. That is the whole company.

Dry Canyon Sound is a father and son in Redmond. Collin runs the music; Scott runs the microphone and the logistics. Both of us carry the boxes.

We named it after the canyon that runs through our own town. We are not a franchise, we are not sending a stranger to your wedding, and when you call the number on this page one of the two people working your event picks up.

Dry Canyon Sound LLC is a registered Oregon company, licensed in the City of Redmond and carrying general liability insurance. We can send a certificate of insurance naming your venue, which most venues will ask for.
