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.

Portland Bar Mitzvah Columbia Edgewater Country Club
Asher was ready to have a good time at his Portland Bar Mitzvah Columbia Edgewater Country Club held on Saturday, June 4, 2022 with most of his friends having arrived before the 6pm start time. This event was originally scheduled for October 2021, but delayed because of Covid.
There were many things planned including gaming tables (blackjack and poker), as well as games with the DJ (me) before dinner. Asher’s favorite sports are basketball and football, perfect for the ice breaker basketball vs. football pass. The kids had a great time with that and the scavenger that followed, as well Blazers vs. Eagles (a variation of the soda drink game) and a limbo that ended right before everyone gathered for Havdalah and several speeches by the family.
After dinner, Asher’s dad Scott sung and played guitar on two original songs he had written, including one called “Runnin’ from Covid-19”. Guests enjoyed singing along and right after he was finished, Scott asked me to play the electric version of the song recorded in a studio. That led nicely into me inviting everyone out for dancing to “The Hora” and chair raising.
From there, adults and kids danced for almost two hours to fun hit songs like I Gotta Feeling” and “Shut Up and Dance”, along with family favorites “September” by Earth, Wind and Fire, “Super Freak” by Rick James and more.
Mazel Tov Asher and thank you mom Joni for choosing PRO DJs.
Talia’s Urban Studio Portland Bat Mitzvah
Along with her friends, Talia was really excited for her Urban Studio Portland Bat Mitzvah celebration held on Saturday, May 28, 2022.
As guests gathered in the bar area above the main room or sat at their tables, I played about 45 minutes of background music before entertaining the kids with games, including “Name That Tune”, a scavenger hunt and one of the best limbo competitions. I was told ahead of time that Talia was really good at the limbo, but the finalists also included her mom and one other adult.
Dinner followed in the main room and then a speech from the guest of honor’s parents. Next, I opened the dance floor with the vocal version of “Hava Nagila” which led to the chair raising of Talia and her parents.
The theme was “Hawaiian” and cool accent lighting projected palm trees in each corner of the main room. At some point, the large garage door was opened to reveal a shaved ice truck which understandably drew many away from the dance floor, but only temporarily. Adults and kids danced the night away to the big hits, such as “Happy”, “Hey Ya” and “Cupid Shuffle,” plus the family’s requests for classics “Dancing Queen” and “Celebration”.
Mazel Tov Talia and thank you mom and dad, Jill and Mike for choosing PRO DJs.
