Mel organized a western theme sleepover party for my daughter's 10th birthday and it was wonderful!…read moreShe took care of everything - even went above and beyond last minute to help us troubleshoot some curtains to ensure a dark and cozy room for the 5 party girls. Everyone ooh-ed and aah-ed over the decor, and though they didn't sleep as much as we would have like (big surprise!), they had a blast watching movies and giggling in the adorable, comfy tents. The personalization and attention to detail was so impressive and appreciated. I would highly recommend Mel and Elite Teepees for your next sleepover or tent-themed event! None of the stress or work, all of the fun, comfort and style!

We hired The Grain Collective to cater my parents' 65th wedding anniversary celebration, and the…read moreexperience was exceptional from start to finish. Chef Dom guided me through a process that initially felt overwhelming--deciding what to serve for a group ranging from 5 to 90 years old. He provided a thoughtful questionnaire that helped us narrow down options that would work for our family, considering not just the food but also the best serving style. On the day of the event, Chef Brian served a remarkable multi-course Thai meal that left everyone raving. But more than the food, what stood out was the care taken to ensure our family time wasn't overshadowed by kitchen activities. If there was ever a question, Chef Brian would discretely check with me and then quietly continue his work. When presenting each dish, they shared what we were eating and were eager to answer any questions. They kept the space clean and organized as they worked, and when it was time for my father's speech, all kitchen activities paused so we could fully appreciate the moment. I wouldn't hesitate to hire The Grain Collective again for any future private dining experience.

Their website contains quite a number of helpful wedding planning tools, and I feel that they go above and beyond the typical DJ's duties with those additions. Once the wedding day arrived, they took care of everything! I felt confident knowing they would keep the flow of the evening- and they played great music!! We received multiple compliments on how fun and entertaining our reception was, and I think this can be attributed to a great Dj. 100% recommend Central Oregon DJ to anyone in need. They did an excellent job.

And the Ninja Night is genius for parents too ... keeping us sane with a few hours alone. Thank you Seth!
