Introduction

The talent within PDX-MMES is remarkable! They stand out among the rest! They range from young and new energy for 2024 to the 1970's classy charm. All of our DJs provide everything from the oldies to the Top 40s. They also can put together a playlist of your specific songs and even incorporate some of the known “go to” songs to get everyone up and dancing. There's an MC and/or DJ for every style with our business. Not only do we provide DJ services, we have so much more to offer our clients to enhance their events. This business has risen out of the past one through my brother, Brian Smith, the infamous owner of Mobile Music Entertainment Services. Even though he passed on in November 2015, his legacy in the industry remains. As his close sister, I have been compelled to continue this in his honor and with a portion of the proceeds going directly to his only son. I didn't come to this decision on my own; it was the people who meant the world to him who have stepped up to assist me in making this happen. His "guys," with their unlimited talent, are behind this all the way, and I could not do it without them. Look them up on the website. Note that this website will be revamped accordingly to includes information about his legacy and our new talent for 2019. This still is in progress as I am not as tech savvy as I had hoped. I am happy however to provide you with a profile of each DJ affiliated with PDX-MMES. I have even taken on the DJ role! Thanks to my team of professionals, both my twin daughters and I are now DJing too! Karaoke events are our personal favorites along with company picnics filled with fun activities that we can provide. Please consider us as your go to DJ music entertainment service. We look forward to hearing from you! Teresa Nikkila

Wow, incredibly the best DJ's out there thank you so much for everything! Variety of music as well as letting the guest select songs. Awesome sound and lighting. Sammie's Sweet 16 was a huge success. I cannot thank you enough Teresa! Already have referral requests passed on!

Teresa was AMAZING from the beginning of contact to the actual night of the party. Brandon was a great DJ as he kept everyone dancing. We were coming from out of town to the party so everything needed to be handled over the phone or by email and Teresa was right on time with both. Teresa ensured that the party would go off without a hitch and it did. Thanks Teresa and Brandon for a memorable night.

Our small family event of 35 people in Salem was a hit in large part due to our DJ Troy from PDX-MMES and the music he played. Troy was friendly, courteous and professional. Teresa's was easy to work with during the coordination process and her pricing is competitive. We will certainly use them again! Thanks

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Yes, please see the website for details. mobilemusicentertainment.com We have many options and add-ons to choose from.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We are happy to have the initial conversations with our potential customers over the phone or via email to insure that we can meet all of their specific needs. The next step is to preferably meet with them in person to go over our contract and additional information that they may have. If this is not an option to meet due to the travel distance between the client and my location in the Portland-Metro area, I am happy to complete the process via email and phone conversations. Communication is important, so much so that our conversations do not cost the client extra and is always encouraged. We pride ourselves in being able to connect with our clients and provide them with personalized music entertainment.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a former educator and public speaker. I have my own consultation and advocacy business where I specialize in assisting students with special needs and their families. I have worked with numerous school districts and have provided many workshops. I have a master's degree in Special Education. What does this have to do with the DJ/MC entertainment business? Well, I understand people and know how to accommodate varying needs. I understand the small business aspects too. Honestly, I leave the actual professional entertainment and talent to the fabulous guys who have stepped up to continue my brother's legacy from MMES. I have on occasion, been a DJ for smaller events and for those who may have a limited budget for DJ/Music entertainment. PDX-MMES has a similar business model, with just Brian's sister leading the way. I have also been involved in the past with troubleshooting and supporting him when he took ownership of MMES. I know the challenges he faced as well as the joy he had from each event. He loved working with people and the feedback since his passing has given me more insight into his success. So, yes, experience in a sense. Let my DJ/MC guys take it from there. They are fabulous!
