I am a Karaoke DJ and if you are looking for someone who isn't happy until you are, here I am. My journey in the world of karaoke has allowed me to curate an extensive repertoire and develop a knack for reading crowds. From holiday celebrations to outdoor venues my goal is to create an atmosphere that resonates with the unique vibe of each event.
If it's karaoke you are looking for I can almost always find a song. Is it your wedding? Sweet 16? Holiday Party? 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
Karaoke made the party, At first there was some resistance but soon everyone was joining in and singin' away. Very easy to sing along with a close screen and large words. Ellie easily pulled up any song and words with the artist we wanted, She was great. Highly recommended. We were a group from our 20s to 80s.

Thank you Kenneth,
It was a pleasure to work with you and be a part of such a lovely event. I was deeply moved by the sentiment and love you all expressed and had fun helping all of you shine like stars, especially you Kenneth! :)

Ellie was amazing! MASSIVE selection of songs, but I think the best part was how she encouraged the participants who were more reserved that some of our outgoing performers. I booked her as a fill in for canceled entertainment, but it is clear I'm going to need to make a spot in our schedule to have this event more often.

Thank you Megan,
Your group was so fun to work with and such great singers! I look forward to returning for another 'Karaoke Party' soon.

Ellie
Wonderful Energy kept the party going, She was able to help with song choices. Will hire her again for our next corporate event!
Response from KaraokePDX:
Cynthia and her team were great to work with and very through in their requirements. I am honored to have worked with such as amazing company and look forwards to the next time.
Ellie did a wonderful job! We hired her for a high school graduation party. All the kids had a great time and the adults too!
Response from KaraokePDX:
Thank you Mary, Your family and friends were a lot of fun. I am still amazed at the song choices from the graduates. Who would have ever guessed Deep Purple still had fans? Best of luck to the graduates and I hope we can work together soon.
Great communication, great equipment, constant communication leading up to our event, highly recommend!
Response from KaraokePDX:
Thank you Monica, I would work with you and your team again any time. Great communication and quick responses to questions. A really awesome group.
Ellie was just amazing! She came to meet with me a few days before the party and took
her time to go through everything with me. She is punctual and easy going. Everyone at the
party loved her and her music picks!! I highly recommend her and would hire her for any event again!!

Heidi,
Thank you for your kind words. You have a beautiful home, the perfect setting for a great party. Your family and your friends made it easy to have fun right along with them. Thank you for being such a wonderful hostess.
Regards,
Ellie
We were really glad Ellie could help us out. I appreciated her communication ahead of time with planning and making sure everything was prepared. Had a blast. Would recommend!
Hello, My daughter and I had a joint 90's themed party for her big sweet 16 and my big 40! Ellie was professional, on time and so fun to work with. She was easy to correspond with leading up to our event and helped pick out awesome music! She was laid back and helped encourage people to get up and sing. My mom had a very late request and even tho she was already over her time she manage to play it for her! Don't hesitate to book Ellie for your next event! We will definitely use her again.
Wonderful to work with, professional, responsive and showed the guests an amazing time! Highly recommend!

Thank you Michelle,
Your team was also easy to work with, incredibly creative and this event for over 1000 people flowed flawlessly. I am honored to have been a part of it.
Just blown away by the professionalism and fun Ellie provided for my wedding reception. From my first phone call with Ellie to discuss what I wanted and needed for our big day, she was UBER helpful in creating a timeline of events with the amount of time we had booked for our reception. She helped keep the fun moving along and became the MC of our event... so appreciated her for this! She even helped with a special last minute request from one of our guests for a special dance and just kept the room hoppin' - not to mention the special touch with displaying pictures we provided to play on the screen with the music in the background. Ellie, you are awwwwesome and we SO appreciate you helping to make our big day that much more special!

Jennifer,
It was an honor to be a part of your special day. You have a wonderful family and the venue was perfect. It must be mentioned that the wedding meal was prepared with love by family and friends much of it locally grown and it was nothing short of sensational. Perhaps a family restaurant is in the future? Finally, Jen meeting you felt like I found a long lost friend. You were a stunning bride that glowed from the inside out. I wish both of you a truly wonderful life and hope to meet again. 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.
Response from KaraokePDX:
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!
Response from KaraokePDX:
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!!
Response from KaraokePDX:
Thank you for the lovely review. I had fun too, great venue.
Ellie did a great job DJing for our event. She was prompt, organized and professional. Fun had by all. Highly recommend her!
Response from KaraokePDX:
Sharon,
Thank you for the opportunity to Kdj your holiday party. I am glad everyone had a good time.
Regards,
Ellie
Thanks for being an amazing DJ and adding so much to my special night. It was great working with you prior to the event and all the way through it. I hope to see you again soon! Keep singing!
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.
Response from KaraokePDX:

Ellie of Karaoke PDX was amazing. We booked an event for Intel's 50th anniversary and she more than delivered. She was courteous, professional and provided everything that we asked for an d more.
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!

I will always work to your specifications. I am most known for my intuitive song choices, ability to energize a room and get people out of their chairs and having fun.

I am legal Kj and have all my own music in addition to a subscription service through KaraokeCloudPro. In addition to my personal collection of digitized cd's I call upon Spotify to fill in the blanks for DJ events and background music. You can expect 100% professionalism wrapped in a smile and ready to make some music.
Miss Ellie
The driving force behind KaraokePDX Ellie has been studying karaoke and what makes a great Kj since I first started hosting shows back in Oct. of 2000. A website designer and internet marketer by day I am passionate about providing the best sound system I can and making sure everyone has a good time.
I am currently working 3 nights a week in the Portland Metro as a karaoke DJ.
"Music is a universal language and an open heart is all you need to speak it"
My current set up requires one power cord long enough to run from an outlet to wherever you are setting up the music. I can take if from there. Internet access is also a plus but not mandatory.
Included in my standard set up are 2 laptops, mixing board, 2 18" speakers, subwoofer, 2 cordless mics and 2 wired mics, digitized database of current, old favorites and classical music hits, 2 HDTV's, and over 10,000 unique karaoke tracks.
If we bringing in lights and extra extras that might be subject to change.

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.
