Jared’s Portland Bar Mitzvah was held at Hayden’s Lakeside Grill in Tualatin, Oregon on May 4, 2013. Fewer than 100 guests gathered in the Large Lakefront Room, which is actually a small room, but the perfect spot to celebrate the Jared’s big day.
 
For this time of year, it was a hot one as the Portland area hit 83 degrees and the huge man-made lake outside on a warm Spring night proved too irresistable for a group of young boys and girls. After dinner, the kids spent quite a bit of time running around the lake while I played background music for the adults as they enjoyed their dinner.
 
Eventually, Jared and his friends returned looking for some more fun and we got right to it with some games that included a riotous, but under control musical chairs scavenger hunt and a limbo that featured some of the best limboers I had ever seen… some incredibly flexible people in this group.

The Rabbi arrived a little later and the chair raising followed. Jared was super excited to be carried around in the chair while holding an Olympic torch he owns. There was no flame though… with the low ceiling, that would have not been a good idea 🙂
 
A hot mix of fun dance tracks loaded the dance floor and made this intimate gathering feel a whole lot bigger. Guests were lovin’ the big hits: ‘Party Rock Anthem’, ‘What Makes You Beautiful’, ‘Cupid Shuffle’ and ‘Thrift Shop.’ I also played a few blasts from the past for the adults like ‘Billie Jean’ and ‘Play That Funky Music’, but the kids loved them as well.

Mazel Tov Jared and thank you Kuntheary and Michael for the opportunity. It was a fun and memorable evening. -Rich

PRO DJs’ Steve Marker has been on quite a roll lately… already having performed at six Bar or Bat Mitzvahs in the first two months of 2013, with several more to go in March.
 
On Saturday, March 2, 2013, Steve was the DJ at Leo’s Bar Mitzvah held at Union/Pine in Portland, Oregon. While firing up the kids with a swing dance and freeze dance competition, he made sure all glow necklaces, rings, hats and glasses were handed out to liven things up a little more.
 
‘The Hora’ with chair raising got everyone involved and a music mix that included heavy doses of R&B, soul and hip hop as requested by our client (everything from Eminem and 2 Pac to Earth, Wind & Fire and Stevie Wonder), kept guests of all ages movin’ and groovin’ on the dance floor for 3+ solid hours!

It started with Joshua in 2008, followed by Jacob in 2010 and finally Jesse in 2013.
 
They are all brothers and they all had the same DJ perform at their bar mitzvahs’… PRO DJs Steve Marker.
 
Jesse’s big event was held at the Stockpot Restaurant in Beaverton, Oregon on February 9, 2013 and Steve kept everyone moving with a fun mix of music and games.

Portland Bar Mitzvah DJ Steve Marker was chosen to perform at Manny’s Bar Mitzvah celebration on Saturday, January 19, 2013 at Southwest Community Center in Portland, Oregon.
 
The family reserved half the gym for games with the kids and eventually dancing for everyone. The parents gathered for cocktails and dinner in the entry lobby before joining the fun on the dance floor.
 
As has become customary, Portland Bar Mitzvah DJ Steve opened the dance floor with ‘The Hora’ and chair raising. The crowd was fired up as expected, but with a little twist here… Manny decided he wanted to follow that up with a Snowball slow dance 🙂
 
From there, it was a mix of today’s hit music along with some favorites from the past, including requests for Black Eyed Peas ‘I Gotta Feeling’, ABBA ‘Dancing Queen’ and Michael Jackson’s ‘Billie Jean.’
 
Mazel Tov Manny and thank you mom Wendy for choosing PRO DJs.
