Rich is honestly the best to work with! He was our DJ for our wedding reception in August and I couldn’t have asked for a better person for the job. We had a lot of different components integrated into the wedding and Rich kept the schedule flowing smoothly from beginning to end. Thank you again Rich, it’s been a pleasure!
Kristina Nguyen & Tuan Tran Wedding – Portland, OR
Event Date 8-24-24
Rich was incredible! Not only did he know what and when to play, he was ‘THE master’ of ceremony – making the evening about us (bride and groom) and kept the evening flowing! He was so helpful in organizing our time (we had no idea about timelines!) as well. Offering an online planning sheet with links to songs, streamlining our selections. We also met a week prior to our wedding, so we could discuss our ideas, insuring we were on the same page. He knew exactly what we wanted and he delivered! Side note… Rich has the perfect radio voice – adding a fun energy to the night! Thank you Rich, you are a rock star!!

Cannot say enough great things about having Rich Ellis for our wedding. From the first phone call to the event of our wedding he was consistently professional, easygoing, flexible and overall has a great personality to work with. We cannot make this up: in the middle of the city shutting down because of a snowstorm on our wedding day and having to switch our wedding venue the day of just hours prior, Rich said he would be there and he showed up on time and ready to go despite all the chaos going on. He showed up and gave it 100%, helping so many of our guests and ourselves have an amazing time. The flow of our wedding and reception was so smooth it was like it was planned at the new venue the whole time. He was so flexible and adapted to the situation with no problem. Despite how the day started with the snowstorm, it was the most wonderful and beautiful wedding and reception that we could ask for. To Rich, we loved you so much! We’ll invite you on our next vacation! You were the PERFECT DJ and we’d definitely book and recommend you for other events too. We appreciate all of your help and guidance during the process for the result of having a truly memorable wedding day for so many reasons. Our advice: Get a phenomenal wedding planner and an amazing DJ.

Just amazing! I’ve been recommending Rich since the event just a week ago! The most professional and helpful of all vendors I worked with – simply excellent and thought of many details that I hadn’t considered, even those not directly related to the music. I know the group didn’t dance much (it was the group, not the music), but we had an absolute blast! Thank you!

Rich was wonderful to work with. He met our needs thoroughly and was incredibly flexible as the course of our event changed from what we originally thought. He helped us a great deal with timing of certain things we wanted and also completely went with the flow when needed. He stayed on a bit longer as our guests were fully on the dance floor still at the end of our agreed time! Rich is incredibly professional, super friendly and is an excellent DJ. This is the 2nd time we have hired him to DJ an event and we were very pleased both times. I have since recommended Pro DJ’s and will continue to!

When we first began planning a wedding, music was possibly the most stressful factor for us, with so many different generations and personalities present. Rich Ellis took away this anxiety with his professionalism. As early as the first meeting, it was clear he understood the atmosphere we were going for and he accomplished it brilliantly. We were beyond pleased with the music, pacing, and flow of the ceremony and reception. We would absolutely recommend Rich to a friend. Thanks, Rich, for helping make our big day memorable!

Rich really made the audio & music elements of our wedding so easy because we knew he had every aspect covered. The event planner tool on the website made song selection very easy and helped with ceremony and reception structure. In speaking with Rich the week before the wedding, he took the time to understand our wants and he “got our vision” instantly. He is very personable and provided some excellent recommendations based on his extensive experience. It translated into a perfectly seamless event. Some of our favorite memories from the wedding were on the dance floor, so thanks to Rich for reading the crowd well and bringing out everyone’s dance moves. We received compliments several friends and family members on our DJ after the wedding!

Darren Martin (Ce Ce McLain & Steven Martin Wedding) – Portland, OR
Event Date 8-15-15
Extremely professional, from the moment I spoke to Rich on the phone during booking, through the ceremony itself, I cannot express how happy I was with the service. Every single guest I spoke to complimented us on how great the music selection was. I continually told them that except for the “big moment songs…”the selection was all Rich. Honestly, that was always the most important thing to me. I didn’t want to spend time worrying about the details of the music… I preferred giving a description of the crowd, a few music styles that we liked, and letting the DJ read the crowd. Thats exactly what I got and I couldn’t be happier.

He took our requests and made the night amazing! We were very nervous about the DJ aspect of our wedding because we’ve heard that a DJ can either “make or break” a wedding.

He was prompt and accessible to us, the bride and groom, prior to the wedding and throughout our evening. He also exhibited warmth, a welcoming approach to our guests, and did so with style and flair. In addition, we chose to adjust some music mid-reception and Rich did this seamlessly. We highly recommend Rich Ellis at ProDJs.

When I hired Rich, I was looking for a DJ with a great reputation, who would get the job done. I had no idea what type of music I wanted, and gave Rich very little direction. Rich turned out to be the best choice for my wedding, and went beyond expectations to make the wedding a blast. Our guests came from four different continents, with different music preferences, and Rich was able to find the perfect mix of international songs that kept people dancing until the last song. I have never seen a wedding where so many people stayed and danced until the very end. Rich has preternatural ability to read a crowd and keep them dancing. He did an amazing job, and I would recommend him to anyone who wants a great party.

I could not recommend Rich Ellis (PRO DJs) enough! Rich was extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process and he definitely came through on the day of the wedding. He played all of the (somewhat abstract) music that we suggested, but also balanced it with more popular music that everyone would recognize. I have been working in the wedding industry for over 10 years, so I have seen hundreds of DJs. Seeing that the wedding was not in my home town (so I could not pick a local DJ that I know), I had to go with someone I didn’t know. To be completely honest, Rich was even better than the best DJs I’ve come to know over the past 10 years in the industry. He got the dance floor going and kept it full the entire night. He didn’t play any of the cheesy stuff and everything flowed perfectly. He really is a professional. If anyone is considering him for their wedding, do it. You won’t be sorry. Also, he was much more affordable than some of the other DJs I contacted. I just wish I lived in Portland so I could recommend him to more friends. I’m also happy to answer questions and take emails from anyone who is looking for a client’s experience.

Rich’s questions for us (the bride and groom) during event regarding our preferences was highly appreciated, showing how much care and effort he took to incorporate our choices. We received so many compliments from our guests on the music quality and the dancing experience. Because it was such a great party, we were on the floor during the entire night, and our guests gravitated toward that. Rich’s playlist set the tone and flow of the event very effectively and efficiently; timing was precise from beginning to end. We were also very satisfied with his utmost respect for our music selections, as obscure as a few of them were!

Rich helped make the party a success! We were counting on him to entertain the young guests plus get the adults dancing with the kids during the second half of our party. Rich is adaptable and quick on his feet. There was a moment that something occurred out of order (during a candle lighting ceremony–our daughter accidentally skipped calling up her grandparents) and he was able to get things back on track. It was a great party. Liz enjoyed herself! Thank you!! People are still talking about it.

Rich did an AMAZING job at our wedding. He made sure to keep true to our yes/no request list even when immediate family members requested songs on the ‘do not play’ list. He also helped us choose cocktail and dinner music and chose very appropriate songs. This was nice because it helped us check off a minor but still important thing on our list. I would highly recommend Pro DJs. He also drove out to Forest Grove from Portland for NO additional charge.

“As the name implies, this guy is definitely a pro. Emily and I had interviews lined up with three different DJs. Rich was the first. After meeting with him, we cancelled our other appointments and hired him because we knew right away that he was the guy. He’s very personable and professional. He agreed to meet us at a Target on a day when we had to get our gift registry done so I wasn’t expecting anything too formal, but he was there right on time with a nice shirt and tie and all the literature we needed to look over. He has streamlined his process for dealing with clients. His website is set up with online payment and music planning utilities. All you need to do is go to his website and select the designated songs (processional, recessional, first dance, last dance, father-daughter dance, etc…). You can also select (from his extensive catalog) that you either definitely want certain songs played or not played so you don’t end up doing the chicken dance or the hokey pokey (unless that is your thing). On the off chance that he doesn’t have a song that you want, he has an upload utility on the website as well. The best thing about Rich is that he does this for a living. It’s not a hobby or extra money. He does fifty weddings a year and he knows how to keep the party going. Just let him run the show and you won’t have to worry about a thing. Everyone will have a good time. In most weddings there are lulls and dead spots in the reception where the guests have to decide if they are going to sneak out now or stick it out, but not at my wedding. People were dancing from the moment they finished eating until it was over. Rich knows just what music to play and when to play it. It was a great time.“

“It’s really easy to see why Steve is one of the most popular DJ’s for bar/bat mitzvah parties, and other parties as well. He’s personable, highly professional, easy going, makes great suggestions, is eager to please his clients without being weird about it, and is all around just a joy to have at an event.

“I wanted to thank you for helping make my daughter’s wedding at our ranch a huge success. You did a great job. A number of people commented on how well the music was choreographed with Becky and Daren’s slide show. Little did they know that Daren gave you about 5 minutes advanced notice. Thanks for a great job!”

“We were THANKFUL that Rod was there. Not just as a DJ, but he guided the reception. He told us when best to cut the cake, do the toast and all the other details. We were far too preoccupied to even think about those important things. He kept the party going for HOURS. Everyone had a GREAT time. We were nervous to hire a DJ, but he exceeded our expectations, set music that set the mood without being sappy, followed my requests to a T and provided for a WONDERFUL evening. It was a blessing to have someone that I could trust to get the details right. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!”

“The people who attended my party thought the music and overall performance of the DJ was better than another DJ (service) that performed at the prom just a week earlier. They thought the music selection was good and really enjoyed themselves.”
