After dinner, the casino opened. This is always tough competition for any DJ, but we managed to pull away a few for the “Cupid Shuffle” 🙂 and a few other songs.

Contract Furnishings Mart
Embassy Suites – Tigard, OR (Columbia River Ballroom)
DJ: Rich Ellis
PRO DJs had the opportunity to perform at the holiday party for this company in 2019 and 2021 and the dance floor was packed again this year from start to finish as guests danced to everything from “September” and “Billie Jean” to “Uptown Funk” and “Cupid Shuffle.”
Garner Electric
Embassy Suites – Tigard, OR (Columbia River Ballroom)
DJ: Rich Ellis
This was the third time PRO DJs performed for this company since 2019. We were warned in the past by the owner that electricians are boring and probably won’t dance much :). That wasn’t the case for a small group who had a great time dancing for about an hour non-stop. Even Santa joined in the fun.

Cold Nights Warm Hearts At Oregon Zoo BrewLights
PRO DJs had the opportunity to return for Oregon Zoo BrewLights on Friday, November 18th and Saturday, November 19th, 2022. With the pandemic, the last BrewLights was in 2019, so it was good to be back again.
DJ Steve Marker was setup near Elephant Plaza at the far end of the zoo and had ’em dancing until 9pm, while DJ Rich Ellis worked the entry way and exit that saw a number of people dancing in the entry plaza the final hour.
It was really cold both nights, but no rain all weekend and a great crowd.

The Breathe Building Portland Bat Mitzvah
Charlotte’s Bat Mitzvah celebration was held on Saturday, July 30, 2022 at The Breathe Building in Southeast Portland. It was a hot one outside with the temperature near 100 degrees, but fortunately the party was mostly inside the air conditioned room.
I played about 30 minutes of background music before entertaining the kids with games, including a scavenger hunt, musical chairs, Coke and Pepsi and a limbo competiton.
The dining tables were setup outside, but that area was starting to receive some shade by dinner time. Afterwards, everyone came back inside for a toast from the guest of honor’s parents before I opened the dance floor with “Hava Nagila”. The traditional chair raising of Charlotte and her parents followed.
From there, parents and kids had a great time dancing to hit songs such as “Uptown Funk” and “Dynamite”, plus the family’s requests for classics “YMCA” and “Dancing Queen”.
Mazel Tov Charlotte and thank you mom, Deborah for choosing PRO DJs.

Bat Mitzvah The Eleanor Downtown Portland
Audrey’s Bat Mitzvah celebration was held on Saturday, June 18, 2022 at The Eleanor Downtown Portland, Oregon.
The synagogue was only three blocks away and most guests walked to the venue following the service. Upon arrival, background music was playing from a variety of artists including Adele, Glass Animals and Elton John.
Audrey chose not to have any games, so it was just one big dance party that launched with everyone participating for “Hava Nagila” and the traditional chair raising.
Many adults were dancing early in the evening, but at some point the kids took over and never stopped as they enjoyed mostly recent hit songs along with Audrey’s requests for Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Ke$ha, Taylor Swift and more.
Mazel Tov Audrey and thank you mom Amy for choosing PRO DJs.
