Talia’s Urban Studio Portland Bat Mitzvah
Along with her friends, Talia was really excited for her Urban Studio Portland Bat Mitzvah celebration held on Saturday, May 28, 2022.
As guests gathered in the bar area above the main room or sat at their tables, I played about 45 minutes of background music before entertaining the kids with games, including “Name That Tune”, a scavenger hunt and one of the best limbo competitions. I was told ahead of time that Talia was really good at the limbo, but the finalists also included her mom and one other adult.
Dinner followed in the main room and then a speech from the guest of honor’s parents. Next, I opened the dance floor with the vocal version of “Hava Nagila” which led to the chair raising of Talia and her parents.
The theme was “Hawaiian” and cool accent lighting projected palm trees in each corner of the main room. At some point, the large garage door was opened to reveal a shaved ice truck which understandably drew many away from the dance floor, but only temporarily. Adults and kids danced the night away to the big hits, such as “Happy”, “Hey Ya” and “Cupid Shuffle,” plus the family’s requests for classics “Dancing Queen” and “Celebration”.
Mazel Tov Talia and thank you mom and dad, Jill and Mike for choosing PRO DJs.

Bat Mitzvah Party Laurelhurst Club Portland
DJ Rich Ellis had the opportunity to perform at Anya’s Bat Mitzvah Party at the Laurelhurst Club in Portland, Oregon on Saturday, May 14, 2022.
The ceremony was also held in the same venue from 4:30pm to just after 6:00pm. Since I was setting up in the same area where most of the guests were seated for the ceremony, I waited outside with the caterer so we could quickly come inside and setup as the room was being turned for the reception.
I had background music playing by 6:40pm. After about 30 minutes of that, many guests had already started dancing.
We then took a 20 minute break for toasts before restarting the dance floor with “The Hora” that got everyone else out of their chairs to begin a great night of dancing.
The floor was busy for nearly every song from start to finish and the 60+ guests in attendance brought the energy for big hit songs “Happy”, “Uptown Funk” and “Party In The USA”, plus the family’s requests for “Dancing Queen”, “Burning Down The House” and “Hey Ya”.
Mazel Tov Anya and thank you mom Shelley for choosing PRO DJs.

Sarah’s MJCC Bat Mitzvah Celebration
Originally scheduled for January 2021, the pandemic meant that Sarah’s MJCC Bat Mitzvah Celebration would have to be postponed. The new date on January 1, 2022 at Mittleman Jewish Community Center worked out though as this event happened just before her next birthday.
Mask-wearing was required, but that was no deterrent to a having a good time playing games and dancing. I led the kids in a scavenger hunt and two rounds of Kahoot! trivia to see how well her friends knew the guest of honor.
The adults then joined in for dancing and the traditional “The Hora” with chair raising of Sarah and her family.
For the last hour, everyone had a great time dancing to fun hit music… everything from “Happy” and “Blinding Lights” to Sarah’s favorite songs from Lovejoy, Owl City, Surf Cruize and more.
Mazel Tov Sarah and thank you mom Trudi for choosing PRO DJs! See you in 2024.
