Bat Mitzvah
2015 Kicks Off With 2 Portland Bat Mitzvahs
Portland DJs Rich Ellis and Steve Marker performed at two separate Portland Bat Mitzvahs on Saturday, January 3, 2015. New Year’s Eve celebrations were still fresh, but that didn’t slow down partygoers from having a good time.
Amber’s intimate Bat Mitzvah celebration was held at Congregation Shaarie Torah in Northwest Portland and following a brief Havdalah service, the fun launched quickly with ‘The Hora’ and chair raising.
The dance floor was now officially opened and per the guest of honor’s request, Rich played Michael Jackson’s ‘Beat It.’ Amber may be the biggest M.J. fan ever, so much so, she had a poster of the ‘Thriller’ album cover on an easel right next to the dance floor 🙂
Abby’s Bat Mitzvah party took place at the Sentinel Hotel (formerly Governor) in Downtown Portland. Steve also performed at her sister Hannah’s Bat Mitzvah back in June, 2012.
Abby requested everything from ‘Cupid Shuffle’ to the now classic ‘Stacy’s Mom’ by Fountains of Wayne, as well as many tracks from Beyonce. Steve played the hot hits and brought the energy guests expect from him with fun and timely interaction.
Mazel Tov Amber and Abby and thank you parents for choosing PRO DJs!

High Energy Fun At NE Portland Bat Mitzvah
What a night for Mira and her friends. This party turned out to be mostly just for them at the Red Rose Ballroom at her NE Portland Bat Mitzvah and they danced the night away to their favorite top 40 hit songs, including ‘Boom Clap’ from Charli XCX, Ariana Grande f/Iggy Azalea ‘Problem’, the hot new Taylor Swift song ‘Shake It Off’ and more.
When I received word that dinner had been delayed 30 minutes, the excited kids were ready for some games that included a rousing version of ‘Name That Tune’ and a Limbo contest that we managed to complete right before the food was ready.
Mira’s parents toasted their daughter before showing a video. Everyone then got up and filled the dance floor for the ‘The Hora’ and chair raising.
The kids outnumbered the adults and were mostly girls, so it was no surprise they took over quickly, dancing to more hot hits, including Mira’s requests for ‘Fancy,’ ‘Wiggle’ and ‘Summer.’
The night ended with all of them dancing and singing at the top of their lungs to ‘Let It Go’ from the movie ‘Frozen.’
Mazel Tov Mira and thank you dad Jeff for choosing PRO DJs. -Rich

“Rich did a great job keeping the crowd engaged, especially the 50+ teenagers in a way that he was both a central part of the evening’s party and did not overpower the attention. Rich was great at helping me plan out the evening and just simply a pleasure to work with.” -Jeff Katz
