Travis Fryback, Owner

The Party Team Parties & Music is an interactive party company with offices in Portland, Eugene, and Bend Oregon, Boise Idaho and Seattle Washington. This makes us the premier party company in the Northwest. We are led by event planning experts that have been planning group entertainment events for more than 13 years! Started in 2000, The Party Team Parties has grown by offering the best service before, during and after the party. Our dealers are energetic, friendly, knowledgeable, and we insist on professional appearance. Our number one priority is to make sure everyone has fun! This includes teaching less experienced players game rules and how to have fun at a table. This priority for fun also includes making sure the planner is proud to have hired The Party Team! We take pride in offering the best party experience in the Northwest and we are dedicating to keeping our ideas and attitudes fresh to maintain that edge! Our equipment is Tournament Quality and we constantly replace old with new. We are happy to share any number of referrals in your area.

She is one of our best DJs, and enjoys dealing craps the most, though she can deal any game we offer.Kristina graduated from the University of Oregon in 2005 with a B.S. in Sociology. She was a member of the Oregon Marching Band for 5 years as an alto sax player, and planned most of the social gatherings and formal events for the band during her time there. When she’s not working (when is that?) she enjoys riding her quad at the coast, Duck football, and adventuring through Portland’s shopping & restaurants with her friends. Go Ducks!
