Weekend Fun At Oregon Zoo “Zoo Brew”
PRO DJs once again had the priviledge of spinning the hits at the Oregon Zoo “Zoo Brew” with two DJs both nights on Friday, June 9th and Saturday, June 10th, 2023.
DJ Rich Ellis had the entry plaza Friday night and DJ Rod Krause on Saturday night. DJ Steve Marker performed both nights in Polar Plaza.
As attendees were making their way out near the end of Zoo Brew, many stopped where they were to dance… sometimes there’s no escaping a good beat.
It was a fun weekend with a great crowd.

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.
Corporate Karaoke Party Migration Brewing Portland
PRO DJs had the opportunity to DJ the No Bad Conversations with Klaus and Aircall corporate karaoke party held at Migration Brewing in Portland, Oregon on Monday, June 6, 2022.
There were 25 karaoke performances during the two hour event with most guests selecting 80’s and 90’s hits including Madonna’s “Like A Prayer”, Shania Twain’s “Man! I Feel Like A Woman”, TLC’s “No Scrubs” and one singer who sounded just like Gwen Stefani when performing No Doubt’s “Just A Girl”.
The night ended with nearly everyone in attendance joining Dee for Backstreet Boy’s “I Want It That Way.”

Corporate Karaoke Party Revolution Hall Portland
PRO DJs had the opportunity to DJ the Dr Martens AirWair corporate karaoke party held at Revolution Hall (Showbar area) in Portland, Oregon on Saturday, February 26, 2022.
Guests began arriving for the Mardi Gras themed event at 5pm. After dinner and a raffle, additional prizes were available for the limbo and then dancing. I played a variety of hit songs from Michael Jackson to the “Cupid Shuffle”. This group really also enjoyed 90’s and 2000’s hip hop selections.
After about 30 minutes of dancing, we had our first karaoke performer with Kristin singing Adele’s “Rolling In The Deep”. From there, the gates opened and there were 10 more karaoke performances mixed in with the dance music.
