Friday Night Lit For Edgefield Company Party
PRO DJs had the opportunity to perform again for a Portland area excavation service at their Edgefield company party held on Friday, November 8, 2019 at the locally famous McMenamins property.
Guests packed the place so it was a little more intimate setting inside Blackberry Hall compared to the rooftop event in July 2018, but the result was the same with an active dance floor that didn’t let up for nearly three hours.
Guests really enjoyed more recent hit songs, but an 80’s set and some country selections were also well received.
80’s Night Dance Party At Vancouver Hilton
It was an 80’s night dance party at the Vancouver Hilton for the Washington Health Care Association fun night and fundraiser on Wednesday, May 22, 2019.
There was a lot of big hair, bright fashion and a huge appreciation for Madonna, Prince, Def Leppard and more 80’s hits.
Letting Loose At Corporate Team Building Event
On Thursday night, March 14, 2019, I was at the Embassy Suites in Downtown Portland for a Kennewick-based company’s corporate team building event in the Queen Marie Ballroom. I setup early before guests arrived and a murder mystery dinner performance preceded the dancing, so I didn’t actually start the music until around 9pm. And this group was ready to go.
There were about 60 guests and including me, I think only three were men. Five songs played and already an impromtu train and limbo broke out 🙂 All the music was well-received, especially “Single Ladies,” “Love Shack,” and requests for “Cupid Shuffle.”
Non-stop recent hits, along with 80’s and 90’s hip hop throwbacks kept the energy going strong until we wrapped at 11:30pm.
Thank you Angie for choosing PRO DJs again. This group has a corporate team building event every year in different cities. I had the opportunity to perform for them one time before on the Oregon Coast in Manzanita back in 2014.

Corporate Karaoke Party At Salishan Resort
PRO DJs had the opportunity to perform at the FAST Enterprises corporate karaoke party held at Salishan Resort in Gleneden Beach, Oregon on Saturday, February 2, 2019.
A long day of activities that included a late dinner at the Newport Aquarium didn’t slow down this group who danced and sung well past Midnight.
After David got us started with the Barenaked Ladie’s ‘Be My Yoko Ono,’ another David performed The Notorious B.I.G.’s ‘Hypnotize.’ I spun dance music selections in between from Justin Timberlake, TLC, Beyonce and requests for Britney Spears.
Other popular karaoke titles were “Uptown Funk,” “Footloose,” “Sweet Caroline,” “Complicated” and more.
Post Event Satisfaction Survey:
“Rich came early and got everything set up. When we walked in he had good tunes going. We did Karaoke but when people didn’t want to sing he had people out on the dance floor. I appreciated that he talked when he needed to but didn’t by any means try to be the center of attention and he wasn’t overbearing.” -Kimberly R., FAST Enterprises – Salem, OR

Rich did a great job at my son’s Bar Mitzvah. He kept the energy at the right level throughout the evening. He kept the kids entertained during cocktail hour with games, which allowed the adults to mingle without a lot of distraction. Then, when it was time to focus on dancing, he played a great mix of music that had young and old alike dancing. We requested a couple slow dances and those were added in at just the right time. Great, memorable evening. -Anna Winthrop (Jordan’s Bar Mitzvah) – Portland, OR (8-25-18)
