Cat Themed Portland Bat Mitzvah At RefugePDX

Published March 30, 2015 | By Rich Ellis

Mazel Tov Rena! Portland Bat Mitzvah DJ Rich Ellis performed at her celebration on Saturday, March 28, 2015 at RefugePDX in Central Eastside Portland.

As guests arrived, I played a variety of background music while a continuous slideshow was displayed on a giant screen next to me.

Around 100 people, including 30+ kids enjoyed a casual dinner, but Rena and her friends didn’t come to this party for that… they were ready to have some fun playing games and they had a great time with the scavenger hunt, Coke & Pepsi, Hula Hoop Trivia and more.

Rena volunteers at a cat shelter, so some of the prizes were beanie baby cats. These were a big hit with the kids, as well as Gelato gift cards.

This energized group also danced together to just about everything, but especially recent hits, such as ‘Uptown Funk,’ ‘Shake It Off’ and more.

The party ramped up a little more with the ‘The Hora’ and chair raising and the adults weren’t shy about joining in as they seemed to enjoy the new music as well as the classics.

Thank you mom and dad Michelle and Mike for choosing PRO DJs.
