Bat Mitzvah DJ Rocks Daytime Celebration

Published May 18, 2014 | By Rich Ellis

Mazel Tov Ava! Portland Bat Mitzvah DJ Rich Ellis performed at her celebration on Saturday, May 17, 2014 at Holocene in Southeast Portland.

The reception began at 12:30pm and while the daylight outside gave it away, if you didn’t know what time it was, it might have felt like a Saturday night.

Following lunch and as expected, the kids were feeling a little restless, so I switched up the music to mostly current hits, along with many of Ava’s favorite songs and they got right to it… dancing and getting their pictures taken in the photo booth.

Next, the family toasted Ava on her big day and she spoke as well before I invited everyone out to the dance floor for ‘The Hora’ and chair raising.

Guests had a great time dancing to hit songs from Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars, Pharrell Williams and more.

Over the final hour, the kids had a great time doing the limbo and Ava’s request for a hula hoop contest was a big hit. The day ended with a heavy dose of her favorite songs.
