Keep your event energized and the dance floor packed with our professional DJ services. The Party Team’s DJs do more than just play music – they serve as hosts and coordinators, ensuring your event runs smoothly from start to finish.

We offer DJ packages for every size and style of event – from a casual backyard party to an elegant wedding or a large corporate banquet. Choose the DJ setup that fits your needs:

An upbeat, engaging DJ will provide 3 hours of music and fun – great for birthdays, anniversaries, or company mixers.

Our Portland Wedding Packages include:

• Reception DJ – An experienced wedding DJ to handle your reception festivities. They’ll act as MC for introductions and announcements, coordinate with your planner on timing (grand entrance, cake cutting, bouquet toss, etc.), and of course keep the music flowing and the dance floor full all night. We’ll also set up a professional sound system appropriate for your venue and some dance floor lighting to elevate the party atmosphere. (Typical reception DJ packages cover ~4 hours, which is perfect for cocktail hour + dinner + dancing.)
  
• Ceremony + Reception DJ – Full coverage for your entire wedding day. We provide sound support and music for your ceremony (including wireless mics for your officiant or readers, and your chosen processional/recessional songs), then seamless transition to the reception DJ service through the evening. This ensures one consistent professional is handling all your audio and music needs, so you don’t have to worry about a thing. It’s a popular choice for weddings where ceremony and reception are at the same venue (or even if they’re not, we can relocate between).
• Magic Mirror Photo Booth – Our elegant photo booth option is a huge hit at weddings. The full-length mirror booth adds a fun activity during the reception, and we’ll customize the photo templates with your names, wedding date, or monogram to make the prints extra special. Guests love the interactive animations on the mirror and you’ll get all the hilarious shots of your friends and family having a great time (plus a scrapbook or digital album of all images for you). It’s a fantastic complement to a wedding DJ since both can run simultaneously without interference.
• DJ + Photo Booth All-In-One Package – Get the best of both worlds and save on your budget by booking our Wedding DJ & Magic Mirror Photo Booth package. This comprehensive package covers up to 5 hours of DJ entertainment (with ceremony coverage if needed) and 5 hours of Magic Mirror booth operation.

This is the ultimate party package for couples who want an unforgettable reception that guests will rave about!

• Uplighting: Professional LED uplights to bathe your venue in the color of your choice. We’ll place lights around the room to accent walls, columns, or the dance floor. Uplighting can completely change the mood – for example, soft white/gold for an elegant wedding or dynamic colored lights for a lively party.

• Why Choose a Casino Night?
  Casino nights offer a dynamic, social experience that gets your donors and guests involved and spending for a good cause. With professional casino equipment, fun dealers, and engaging games, your attendees will be raving about how enjoyable your fundraiser was. Unlike a sit-down dinner, casino play encourages mingling and excitement, which can lead to more generosity and a memorable impression of your charity. Our team ensures the event is both entertaining and successful at raising funds.
• How a Casino Fundraiser Works:
  We bring a variety of popular games (blackjack, poker, roulette, craps – you choose the mix) and set up a mini-casino at your venue. Guests buy casino cash from you to play the games. Throughout the night they can “cash in” for more chips by making donations, and at the end we exchange chips for raffle tickets toward prizes. All proceeds go directly to your cause. We also guide you through any necessary licensing (such as Oregon’s Monte Carlo night permit) and provide templates for sponsor signage, custom funny money with your logo, and anything else you need. Our goal is to make it easy for you to fundraise – and for your supporters to have so much fun they can’t wait to donate again!
• Customizable Packages:
  Every fundraiser is unique, so we offer fully customizable casino packages to fit your goals and budget. Hosting 50 people or 500 people? We’ll scale the number of tables and dealers accordingly. Want to incorporate a silent auction, sponsorships, or other activities? We can integrate those seamlessly into the casino timeline. Whether you want a small poker tournament or a full casino gala, we’ll tailor the event to maximize fun and fundraising potential for your group.

When you work with The Party Team on a fundraiser, you’re getting more than just a party – you’re getting a partner invested in your success. We’ve helped schools, charities, and PTAs across the Northwest raise hundreds of thousands of dollars. Ready to plan a fundraiser that your guests will talk about for years? Contact us to set up your Casino Night fundraiser and let’s make it a win-win event!

We’ve done high school grad parties all over Oregon and SW Washington, so we understand what graduates want: a mix of interactive, high-energy activities and chances to chill with friends. Our grad night packages usually combine multiple services for a full-featured extravaganza. Tell us your venue (school gym, community center, etc.) and we’ll transform your space into party central!

A typical Grad Night with The Party Team can include:

• Casino Gaming Tables: Graduates love trying their hand at blackjack, poker, roulette, and more using our fun money customized with your school mascot or logo. The casino tables are always packed at grad night – it’s a chance for students to learn games and compete in a friendly way (with raffle prizes at stake). We can even have parent volunteers act as dealers alongside our staff, which is a big hit with students.

• Arcade: We can set up an awesome gaming area with arcade machines NFL Blitz, Street Fighter II, Fast & Furious racing, multicades, and more. We keep grads busy with games to ensure no one gets bored, and they’ll jump from one game to the next all night long.

• Game Shows & Challenges: To pump up the crowd, we often host live game show sessions during grad night – think Team Feud or a quick Minute to Earn It contest where everyone’s rooting for their classmates on stage. These activities create big memorable moments and lots of laughs. We’ll tailor the games to fit in the schedule of the night.

• DJ & Music: A professional DJ is included to provide a soundtrack to the night! We play popular hits that get the crowd dancing, to taking requests for the songs they all sang along to on bus rides. We can also integrate karaoke or trivia if that’s something your seniors would enjoy. The DJ keeps energy high and can act as an emcee for any scheduled announcements or countdowns.

• Photo Booth: A photo booth is a must for grad parties. The seniors will pile in with their friends to take silly photos, and those prints will become cherished memories of their graduation. We often bring our Magic Mirror or a green screen booth with fun backgrounds, and we’ll design a photo template with the school name and graduating class year.

Let us take the stress off the Grad Night committee – we’ll bring a turnkey package of entertainment so you can relax and enjoy watching the students have a blast. Contact us for Grad Night options and let’s plan an epic all-nighter for your seniors!

• McMenamins Edgefield (Troutdale): A historic 74-acre hotel resort with multiple indoor and outdoor event spaces, including ballrooms, meeting rooms, a ballroom theater, and lush gardens. Edgefield offers on-site catering, a winery, brewery, golf course, spa and even lodging for your guests. It’s an ideal venue for large events, company retreats or weddings where you want a unique atmosphere and the convenience of overnight rooms. (Edgefield is about 20 minutes from downtown Portland – a mini destination of its own.) mcmenamins.com

• Castaway Portland (NW Portland – Pearl District): A renovated 1929 warehouse that now shines as an industrial-chic event space. Castaway features exposed brick walls, high wood ceilings, and a versatile open floor plan to design your dream layout.

It’s known for its modern elegance paired with Portland’s industrial history, making it a top choice for those seeking a stylish, customizable venue in the city. aspenbirchpnw.com
