Jewish Wedding Reception Portland Oregon

Published June 3, 2024 | By Rich Ellis

Originally scheduled with PRO DJs for October 2023, then rescheduled for January 2024 before being rescheduled again, Ilene and Gergo were finally able to celebrate their wedding reception on Sunday, June 2, 2024 at Congregation Beth Israel in Portland, Oregon.

Following the ceremony in the main sanctuary, guests walked across the street to Goodman Hall for the reception where they arrived to a variety of background music selections that included artists Adele, Lauryn Hill, Motown hits and more.

Jewish Wedding Reception Highlights:

Grand Entrance: Ruelle – I Get To Love You
Cake Cutting: James Taylor – How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)
First Dance: Rousseau – All Of Me (John Legend Piano Cover)
Garter Toss: Cyndi Lauper – Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Last Dance: Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes – (I’ve Had) The Time Of My Life

After the couple’s First Dance, I invited everyone to join in for the opening slow dance before picking up the pace with “The Hora”. A mix of classic and recent songs followed, plus the newlyweds requests for 90’s hits from Ace of Base, Snap! and more.
