Portland Bat Mitzvah At World Forestry Center

Published May 4, 2014 | By Rich Ellis

Mazel Tov Hannah! Portland Bat Mitzvah DJ Rich Ellis performed at her celebration on Saturday, May 3, 2014 in Cheatham Hall at the World Forestry Center in Portland.

The evening began with a cocktail hour inside the Discovery Museum, where everyone was also able to view the exhibits. At 7pm, all guests walked over to Cheatham Hall for dinner. A welcome toast from Hannah’s parents, Barbra and Adam followed and then a video slideshow, where I played 2 songs live to the scrolling pictures… Five for Fighting ‘100 Years’ and Cyndi Lauper’s ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.’

After the video, I invited everyone to the dance floor for ‘The Hora’ and chair raising, before continuing on with a variety of fun music all could enjoy, including songs from Michael Jackson and One Direction. The ‘Cha Cha Slide’ and Pharrell’s current big hit ‘Happy’ were also well received.

Around 9:30, we stopped the music briefly for the cake cutting and to sing ‘Happy Birthday’. I then led the kids through some games, including a scavenger hunt and a limbo contest. The rest of the evening featured music from Hannah’s request list, such as Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and her number one favorite, Avril Lavigne.
