Overview
I am a DJ with an emphasis on Karaoke and Event Services. If you are looking for someone who isn't happy until you are, here I am. Our sound system is excellent and easily fills a large hall or outdoor venue with the sound of music.
If it's karaoke you are looking for with thousands of titles and streaming even more from the internet I can almost always find a song. Is it your wedding day? Sweet 16 Birthday? Graduation? My goal is always to make you the star. I am a professional willing to go the extra mile for you and your group.
My music is sourced from the hundreds of cd's I have collected over the years as well as pulled from several online subscription services.
Sincerely,
Ellie

Ellie was a pleasure to work with. If you are looking for someone as serious about your wedding as you are, then look no further. In fact, at times, I felt like Ellie was more serious than we were. Ellie was on time and took notes for our planning/strategy session before our wedding day and she was on time and setup when we needed her to be on the big day. She is a true professional in every sense. She had all the equipment necessary and it was quality, not just a portable TV. She took an active interest in making sure anything she touched regarding our wedding day was done at 110%. She will go above and beyond for you. My only regret is that we did not have more time available to make the most of her services, but she crammed as many singers in to our limited time slot as possible and was great about adjusting to circumstances on the fly. If you are looking for that extra effort and those little extras for your dollar, then I am happy to recommend Ellie. 10/10 would book again.

Chris & Julia,
I knew your wedding would be special the moment I sat down with you at our planning session. Your friends and family knew it too, so much love and joy and harmony. An accomplished singer and Dj yourself Chris, I feel incredibly incredibly honored to have been selected to manage the music at your wedding. Thank you for being so precise in your planning it made my job easy. Congratulations, Lisa and I wish you many, many wonderful years full of music and laughter.
Ellie provided Karaoke for the Fraternal Order of Eagles, Willamette Valley Aerie 2081. Inasmuch as the age group is 65+ and there weren't always singers, but there were dancers, Ellie would offer the type of music the people wanted to dance. She's awesome.

It was my honor to provide karaoke and dance music to this local chapter of such a patriotic organization. We had a great time and the folks there were alot of fun. I wish them well in their brand new beautiful facility.
We booked Ellie for karaoke at our wedding and it was so much fun! My best friend sang during our first dance and Ellie sent her a sample version of the song ahead of time to confirm it would work for her and everything would go smoothly at the event. Ellie seamlessly cued up the karaoke songs and had great song selections to keep people dancing and the energy up between performances. Ellie was professional and helped keep the evening on track with the timeline we planned ahead of time. We would highly recommend!

Thank you Taylor. You have a lovely group of family and friends and it was an honor to Kdj your wedding. Congratulations and all the best to you and Brian.

We recently had Ellie host karaoke at our company party, and she was a hit! It was a strange time for us, as there had just been some layoffs, so our energy was kind of lax to start with. Ellie was cool and collected and got us all in a more celebratory spirit. She rolled with the punches and kept us laughing through the night. We really appreciated having her there - her energy was just what we needed!

Ellen was our KJ for a 50th Birthday party. The party was a huge hit and everyone participated in Karaoke. Ellen was awesome, played great music while we ate and then taking requests and getting everyone motivated to get up and sing. Ellen had all the karaoke songs one could ever want. She did the full set up, multiple TV screens and even lights. Overall, we had hours and hours of continuous Karakoe singing to close out the night and everyone agreed that this was such a fun 50th party. We would hire her again!!

We had a wonderful evening with Ellie from KaraokePDX. She was the KJ for our elementary school fundraiser and silent auction. She communicated well on the front end, went out of her way to visit the venue the day before, and was punctual day of!
During the event everyone had a wonderful time. Guests were engaged and eager to participate. She was fun, organized and entertaining. We would definitely recommend Ellie, and use her at events in the future if opportunities arise.

We will defiantly be using again.

Ellie KJ'd a very large private holiday party for us and everyone had a blast. Being a holiday party people were letting loose and she managed a room full of energetic partygoers wonderfully. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a KJ who really loves to be there and makes sure everyone has fun. Great singer too!

Influences & Inspiration
Primary mentors for me include J9 a KJ from Canada who took me under her wing and taught me how to listen to a singer with an ear to adjusting the sound to highlight their voice.
I was also influenced by a now good friend Lady ZiZi showed me how to stay calm, manage a rotation and the importance of knowing how to harmonize.
Finally, I am influenced by the feedback I receive from those loyal fans that have been supporting me for the last 10+ years.
Setup Requirements
Access to Power. I can usually run everything I have from a heavy duty powercord.
