WHY HIGHER GROUND EVENTS
ARE THE BEST EVENTS. PERIOD.
Some DJs are great at mixing, while others excel in their speaking skills. 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 event 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.

HEAR WHAT THEY'RE SAYING
"I'VE NEVER MET A HARDER WORKING GROUP IN 6+ YEARS OF DOING EVENTS."
"Ben and his team really understood the vibe that we were going for. They really helped make our day special!"
Tasha + Zack
"We had a great experience hiring Higher Ground Entertainment for our wedding. They were organized, professional, and had great communication. All of our music and sound went off without a hitch - the vibes were immaculate all day. Our guests had an absolute blast on the dance floor, and to this day will mention how great our DJ Joel was. We highly recommend them for weddings or any other events."
Miles + Melodie
"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!"
Association of Social Workers Board
"We can't recommend Higher Ground enough! We hired them for our son's Bar Mitzvah party, and Joel, Mason, and Freddy kept the tweens/teens AND grown-ups on the dance floor all night long! Joel was great at reading the room and playing songs that kept everyone engaged. Mason helped with the lighting planning and was on top of the lighting the whole night. Freddy was a wonderful DJ and kept everyone excited. We had people coming up to us afterwards and tell us it was the best Bar Mitzvah party they had ever been to. Definitely use this company for your wedding/Bar/Bat mitzvah/other event if you want everyone to have a great time!"
Sara S.
"I booked Ben for a corporate holiday party and he was the best DJ I have ever worked with, we would absolutely book him again. He listened to my goals for the event and was a real partner in delivering the experience we wanted for our employees. Professional, on-time, handled everything thrown at him with grace, and most importantly he played great music!"
Magnusson Klemencic Associates
"Best DJ ever. I didn't leave our wedding dance floor once. Mason was so great to work with and if I ever needed to hire a DJ for an event, I would 100% book w/ Higher Ground again. Thanks team!"
