Alternative Wedding DJ & Photography | Savage Wedding Co.
Based in Portland, ME — Alternative weddings handled with intention. Serving Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts & Rhode Island.
Real Weddings for Real Couples
The idea at Savage Wedding Co. is simple: the perfect wedding isn’t made for social media — it’s made for you.
Personality comes first, nothing feels forced, and normal isn’t part of the plan. I’m Magnus Savage, Wedding DJ and Photographer.
I don’t look like a traditional wedding vendor — no shirt and tie, no faked professionalism. Instead of trying to fit in, I chose to be myself. Most wedding days, I show up in a branded t-shirt and shorts, comfortable, present, and fully focused on the job.
The approach is relaxed. The work is not.

Wedding Reviews & Client Testimonials
Proof I don’t suck — straight from the couples who trusted me with their biggest day. Here’s what they had to say:
Maren L.
"Magnus was such an awesome photographer. We wanted someone who would capture both the staged and "real" moments of our special day and he did! He is also friendly and down-to-earth. There aren't many photographers who will also have casual conversations with you as well. He cared about getting to know us so he could match the vibe in his photography. He incorporated our vision for our day and captured both the large and small moments. We can't recommend him enough! Thanks Magnus!" -Maren L.

"The Toasted Brew/Magnus was an excellent choice for our wedding entertainment. From the start, he was open, responsive, and thoughtful in his communication, which helped put us at ease during the planning process. On the day of, he demonstrated a keen understanding of how to read the room and keep the energy high. He played music that kept the party going and got everyone out on the dance floor. He kept us on track with the timeline and was friendly, offering helpful suggestions for our reception entrance. The Toasted Brew/Magnus truly contributed to making our wedding day unforgettable. We would highly recommend him to any couple looking for a talented and attentive DJ." -Amanda P.

"When we were booking vendors, I wanted wedding professionals. I wanted people who knew the industry inside and out because we were DIY-ing our wedding and without a planner. When you book someone for your wedding, you're not just booking their service- you are booking their industry knowledge and Magnus has a LOT of knowledge and such a big heart. My example of this is within 4 hours of submitting an initial inquiry, we had an email with a scheduled time to call to chat about his services and our wedding plans to see if they matched. What really got our hearts though was before we agreed to work together, he helped me fine tune the schedule I had in my head for the wedding day. He helped us with our timeline not because he was trying to “sell” us on him, and he didn't say “if we work together I’ll help you with the timeline” which would have been perfectly acceptable. He helped me because he cares about weddings and wanted to make sure regardless of who we went with for a DJ that we had a good foundation. After that call, I told Collin I wanted Magnus on our wedding team and we didn't need to even consider anyone else and let me tell you - that was one of the best decisions we made. Throughout the process he gave great ideas based on his experience not only for the party (DO THE 10-15 MINUTE DANCE PARTY!!!) but on other aspects of our wedding as well. You’re not just working with an “oh you got a *DJ* DJ!!”as my friend so excitedly said after the music started, you’re working with a professional big hearted person with years of experience who is here to help you have the best time. Our day was truly the best and Magnus was a huge part of that. Once the music started, our dance floor was packed and stayed packed to the bitter end! I will absolutely recommend him to everyone and we are still hearing about how great the music and vibes were." - Kendyl & Collin
