WHY HIGHER GROUND MITZVAHS
ARE THE BEST MITZVAHS.
PERIOD.

Some mitzvah DJs are great at mixing, while others excel in interacting with teens. Some are masters of lighting design, music selection, and presentation while others prefer to focus on personalization, production, or event planning.

 

At Higher Ground, our focus is to excel at all of the above so that we can provide the gold standard in bar & bat mitzvah DJ entertainment. 

We are a passionate and hardworking team of DJs, Event Hosts and dancers all working together towards one common goal: to create incredible entertainment experience & employment opportunities. It's why we got started in this business, and it's what keeps us aiming Higher.

MEET THE BEST MITZVAH DJS IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
 

SERVING THE PORTLAND METRO AREA & BEYOND

We have been to a lot of bar and bat mitzvahs over the years, and have heard a lot of mitzvah DJs around the country. Naturally, we have seen the good, the bad and the ugly. All of this informs our style today, and helps us reach for something higher, delivering a unique experience to our bar & bat mitzvah DJ clients. 

 

Having DJed mitzvahs in the Portland area for years, we have existing relationships with many local vendors and are proud to have earned our place on the preferred vendors list of some amazing mitzvah venues such as the Sentinel Hotel, Exchange Ballroom, Castaway, amongst others.

HEAR WHAT THEY'RE SAYING

"ABSOLUTE ROCKSTARS. THESE GUYS ARE GOING PLACES. THERE IS NO OTHER B'NAI MITZVAH DJ WORTH YOUR TIME."

"Ben and the crew were absolutely phenomenal! They provided aspects of entertainment we hadn't even considered or dreamt about. It's an understatement to say that they exceeded our expectations across the board. All of the stress of throwing a big event was mitigated by Ben's confidence, energy, and support. He prioritized the flow of the night and closely tracked the energy in the room. There wasn't one awkward moment during the entire 4 hour celebration as Ben and his team kept the energy high and the vibe easy and fun. The kids LOVED him and his ability to connect with teens and adults alike made our event unforgettable. It's rare to see a group of 13 year olds willing and able to dance for over three hours. Ben and his team brought out the best in these kids and they were radiant with joy. One moment that was notable was when it was time for my partner and I to make a speech/toast to our guests. Ben ensured we were set up in an area that would photograph well, he timed the moment perfectly, and he readied our guests for the moment so we only had to think about connecting with our most important people. The entire night went this way. What a gift! By the end of the night, both the teens and adults wanted Higher Ground Entertainment's information to book Ben and his crew for their own future events."

"Ben and Mason are absolutely the Dream Team!! They made my dreams for my daughter's bat mitzvah celebration come true!! Beyond their professionalism, obvious expertise with their craft and kindness throughout the planning process, they played the best music, listened to the host (me) and the guest of honor (my 13 year old) to make sure they fulfilled our wishes for the entire event. They know how to get feet on the dance floor, kids playing games, and to read the room to maximize the fun!! Book them now! You will NOT regret."
