Our wedding was an absolute blast, and we have Ben from Higher Ground Entertainment to thank for it! FUN was our number one goal for our wedding, and we knew the music selection and DJ would play a huge role in creating that atmosphere. Ben's expertise, charisma, and dedication made our special day everything we dreamed of and more. From the very beginning, Ben's commitment to creating a personalized experience was evident. His chill demeanor made the planning process stress-free, and his professionalism and responsiveness ensured that every detail was taken care of. Ben's MC skills were exceptional, and his introductions, smooth transitions, and perfect timing made our celebration seamless and stress-free. The way he kept the focus on us and our celebration made the experience feel uniquely "us." Our guests couldn't stop talking about the amazing time they had at our wedding. The dance floor was packed all night long, thanks to Ben's fantastic music selection and his ability to read the room. In fact, another friend of ours was so impressed that they booked Higher Ground Entertainment for their own wedding next summer! Ben, your talent, attention to detail, and valuable tips on timing and transitions truly impressed us. Your recommendations for dance floor lighting, like the pole lighting we loved, enhanced the atmosphere and made our guests' experience even more memorable. Just a little note for future couples: Double-check your Vibo songs and remove extras to prevent potential mix-ups. If you just want songs you've selected, be clear about that to ensure your favorites are played and avoid surprises. We can't wait to hit the dance floor with you again at our friends' wedding next year! Cheers, P+J read more

We cannot recommend Mason and the Higher Ground Productions team highly enough. From the moment the night started until the very last song, Mason completely nailed the vibe we were hoping for... and then exceeded it. Our friends are still talking about the dance floor. Between the incredible music, the multimedia screens, and Mason's ability to read the room and keep the energy building all night, the atmosphere was absolutely electric. He didn't just play great songs; he curated an experience that felt uniquely us and kept guests engaged from start to finish. We also threw some unconventional ideas his way, including Family Feud, music videos, and other personalized touches, and he handled everything with creativity, enthusiasm, and total professionalism. The screens were a huge hit and added such a fun, memorable element to our wedding. Beyond being incredibly talented, Mason was simply a joy to work with. He was personable, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our wedding unforgettable. At one point during the reception, we grabbed the microphone just to thank him, and the entire room erupted into applause... which is a pretty clear sign that our guests loved him just as much as we did! If you're looking for someone who can create an unforgettable party and make the entire planning process enjoyable, Mason is your person. Across the board: 5 stars. read more

Ben from Higher Ground Entertainment was absolutely incredible and brought so much energy and joy to our wedding. From start to finish, he kept the dance floor alive and made sure every moment flowed seamlessly. He read the crowd perfectly -- knowing exactly when to keep the momentum high and when to create those meaningful, slower transitions. Our guests were raving about how much fun they had dancing, and we owe that entirely to Ben's talent and intuition as a DJ. Beyond the music, Ben was an outstanding MC. He kept the evening on track without ever feeling scripted or intrusive, striking the perfect balance between professionalism and fun. His enthusiasm was contagious, and he truly elevated the atmosphere of the night. Music can make or break a wedding, and Ben made ours unforgettable. We are so grateful for him and Higher Ground Entertainment. If you want a packed dance floor and a night your guests will never forget, Ben is your guy! read more

My wife and I got married in July 2019 at Waverley Country Club and had Higher Ground MC the whole event (dinner, speeches, etc.) as well as DJ the reception. Ben and Mason were OUTSTANDING!! The dance floor was electric and everyone had a great time. They were able to read the room perfectly; with the beginning of the dancing including music the older generation enjoyed dancing to, but smoothly transitioned to music more geared to the younger crowd and kept the party going late into the night! The dance floor was so fun that we asked them to stay later than initially planned. My wife and I are in the stage of our lives where our whole summer has been filled with weddings. Ours was the first of our friend group this year and we continue to hear from our friends how great the DJ was. Big thanks to Ben & Mason for all their hard work! read more

Ben and the crew from Higher Ground had guests of all ages dancing for hours at my daughter's bat mitzvah party. Ben met with us ahead of time to gather info about the type of music/games/entertainment my daughter would enjoy, and gave access to an app where we could enter specific songs, etc. He used the info we gave him and also did a fantastic job of reading the crowd in realtime. From guiding the guests through the Horah, to leading an enthusiastic "Frozen" sing-a-long - perfect for our disney-loving daughter, to splitting our guests into 2 teams and facilitating a dance-off, Higher Ground created an awesome party dynamic that was truly fun for both kids and adults. We received many compliments about what a great party it was, and owe the bulk of the credit to Higher Ground. read more

The dance party at our wedding was absolutely amazing - I don't think people stopped dancing the entire night! People are still talking about how fun it was! Ben fed off of the crowd and knew exactly what people wanted to dance to. You have to book Higher Ground Entertainment for any of your events - You will not regret it! read more

We could not have been more thrilled with the party that DJ Ben and the team at Higher Ground put on for our family celebration. Total professionals from beginning to end. Ben did a fantastic job of incorporating music and special touches that made the event so personal for my daughter and our family. At the party he and the team did a super job of entertaining the kids and also getting guests of all ages out on the dance floor. When we started our party planning, we had heard that Higher Ground was the best in the business, and we couldn't agree more. We will be using them for our next event. read more

Ben and Mason are absolutely the Dream Team!! They made my dreams for my daughter's bat mitzvah celebration come true!!

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. read more

Higher Ground Entertainment was amazing! Due to COVID, we've had to call a lot of audibles on our daughter's bat mitzvah reception. Lucky for us, Higher Ground had an easy-going, hassle-free approach to planning. From conceptualization to implementation, they helped us put together a game plan for our daughter's party. When the big day finally arrived, they even showed up with the ice! On top of all that, they truly know how to rock a dance floor! If you are looking for an amazing DJ, give Higher Ground a call! read more

My 13 year old son is very opinionated and prefers rap 100% of the time. Planning his Bar Mitzvah, he unequivocally stated he did not want dancing. Ben and his team were amazing guiding us through the whole process. Joel listened to my son, heard his interests and preferences, and knocked the party out of the park. The kids had a blast with the games they played. Our compromise of dancing just at the end of the night was a success with all ages. To top it off, my son never left the dance floor! read more

We were absolutely thrilled with Ben and his team as our wedding DJs. From the initial consultation to the last dance, Ben's hands-on approach and collaborative spirit made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. His music selection and vibrant energy created an unforgettable atmosphere, and Ben's skills as an MC kept the night flowing effortlessly. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the fantastic vibe he brought to the celebration, making our special day truly extraordinary! read more

A great DJ/MC was at the top of our wedding list because we knew we wanted our dance floor to be a highlight and believe that the MC/DJ can really drive the vibe of the wedding. Ben was an absolute pleasure to work with every step of the way, and made sure he curated an atmosphere to our liking. We had many many resounding comments it was the best music of any wedding our guests had been to and many reports of sore legs from dancing. Thank you Ben! read more

just now Ben from Higher Ground Entertainment was perfect as the headline entertainer for Thermo Fisher Scientific's 2021 Global Commercial Meeting. He virtually entertained our 1,000+ attendees from around the global prior to, and after our awards ceremony, providing us with good vibes and setting the perfect atmosphere during these strange times when everyone is remote. I'd definitively recommend him for any virtual or corporate event! read more

I hired Higher Ground Entertainment for my birthday party recently and they were fantastic, hands down one of the best DJ companies I have worked with thus far. Service is top notch, attention to detail is superb and they really made everyone at the party get out and bring their best on the dance floor with an amazing playlist that hit all my requests. Thank you Mason and Ben! read more

Unbelievable!!! Unbelievable!!! I was a photographer over the weekend at a bat mitzvah at Castaway. All night long, as I was running around taking pictures, I was blown away by the energy and exciting vibe of Higher Ground Entertainment. It made my job easier since the guests were having a blast. Made for great pictures. If you need a Portland event DJ, run to book them! read more

DJ Freddy was fantastic! All in all, the company was GREAT to work with. They were on top of everything. So professional, accommodating, easy, and affordable. DJ Freddy was kind, polite, fun, and seemed to really understand the crowd. If my work is ever hosting a meeting again in Portland, we will definitely hire someone from HG! read more
