Bat Mitzvah Party Norse Hall Portland
Piper’s energetic Bat Mitzvah party took place at Norse Hall in Portland, Oregon on Saturday, February 8, 2025.
Guests arrived around 5pm and I had a variety of background music playing just before that, including selections from Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift and Harry Styles.
The spacious dance floor just off the stage allowed plenty of room for games that began after dinner with ice breaker “Would Piper Rather?”, followed by a scavenger hunt and Coke and Pepsi. The adults in the room were very engaged with the scavenger hunt and seemed to be having as much fun as the kids.
Next came “The Hora” and I invited everyone out to the dance floor to celebrate the Bat Mitzvah girl that featured the entire family lifted high in a chair.
Guests of all ages had a great time dancing to favorites, “I Gotta Feeling”, “Shake It Off”, “Cha Cha Slide” and more, plus Piper’s requests for Beyonce, Shakira and Chappell Roan’s “Hot To Go!”.

Post Event Satisfaction Survey:
“This was my first time ever hiring a DJ. I was a little nervous, based on attending other events. I just wasn’t sure what to expect. Rich is amazing! Super enthusiastic, flexible, easy to work with, and full of ideas. He made the planning process very easy (the online forms are very comprehensive) and was in good communication leading up to the party. Rich arrived at our party prepared (loved the lights!), and ran the music and dancing just perfectly. The kids games were a huge highlight as well (adults loved watching them and kids loved participating). We danced until our time at the venue was over. It was just great. Everyone had a total blast. I would hire him again in a heartbeat!” -Hillary Barbour

Vancouver Portland Company Holiday Party Celebrations
Happy Holidays from PRO DJs.
We had the opportunity to perform at several company holiday party celebrations in December 2024.
Cold + Rain Can’t Stop Joy At Oregon Zoo BrewLights
PRO DJs once again had the opportunity to play music at Oregon Zoo BrewLights on Friday, November 15th and Saturday, November 16th.
DJ Steve Marker was setup near Elephant Plaza at the far end of the zoo and had ’em dancing until 9:30pm, while DJ Rich Ellis worked the entry way that saw a number of people dancing in the entry plaza until 10pm, especially in the final hour.
It was cold both nights, but it stayed dry on Friday and the heavy (at times) rain on Saturday couldn’t stop attendees from having a great time.
Bat Mitzvah Celebration At Brix Tavern Tualatin
Lizzie and her friends had a great time at her Bat Mitzvah celebration held at Brix Tavern in Tualatin, Oregon on Saturday, October 26, 2024.
Before dinner, Havdala was led by Camp Director Moses and also featured comments from family and friends.
The party room is separate from the more spacious restaurant. The adults had their own seating and buffet in the restaurant, while the nearly 60 kids pretty much had the party room to themselves, where they had a great time playing games: Would You Rather, Name That Tune and a scavenger hunt before dancing opened to everyone with “The Hora” and traditional chair raising.
Most adults chose to remain in the dining area so music for the dance floor was primarily geared to the kids and they brought the energy for recent hit songs including many requests for Travis Scott’s “FE!N”, plus Israeli dance favorites like “Golden Boy”, “Ba Kalit” and more.

Isaac’s Bar Mitzvah Blast At Nordia House
Isaac and his friends and family had a great time at his Bar Mitzvah celebration held at Nordia House in Portland, Oregon on Saturday, October 19, 2024.
As guests arrived, I played a variety of background music selections before leading the kids in some games that included “Would You Rather” and a scavenger hunt.
Following dinner, Isaac’s dad thanked everyone for coming and then his friends threw candy at him to symbolize the start of a sweet life as an adult. Next, I invited everyone to the dance floor for the traditional “The Hora” with chair raising of Isaac and his family.
Having just seen many of the families in attendance one month earlier, I wasn’t surprised to witness a high energy dance floor from start to finish. Everyone had fun dancing to hit music (“Can’t Stop The Feeling”, “Cha Cha Slide”, “Party Rock Anthem” and more) plus classic 80’s and 90’s favorites requested by the parents.
