Jack requested a lacrosse theme for his Bar Mitzvah at Temple Sinai and we had a team who embraced that desire to the fullest. Thanks to the detailed planning handled by JA Special Events, the celebration was enjoyed by all. Caitlin Hamilton captured the momentous occasion and Footers Catering provided guests with delicious food and desserts. Dancetrax kept the crowd entertained for hours on end and Fun Productions livened up the atmosphere with basketball, lacrosse and air hockey games. Thanks for letting us share in your special day, Jack and family!

Drew asked for a club theme for his bar mitzvah at Hebrew Educational Alliance and we had a team that rocked the vibe, from the Slinky ceiling installation over the dance floor (Lighting & Design by Scott) to the hip bar stools from Party Time Rentals, from the VIP club pass escort cards (Melissa Clark Designs) to the glow in the dark tatoos, and from the swank lounge furniture from Couch, LLC to the fascinating nitro bar from The Inventing Room, this party was sophisticated fun.  Dance Trax Productions always provides engaging dance floor entertainment and we loved working withTamara of Chair Covers & Linens again on the second mitzvah for this great family.  Thanks, Drew, and congratulations!

Coby Gold loves basketball and this passion is evident in every aspect of his Infinity Park bar mitzvah, rolled out in red carpet style and expertly captured by Jared Wilson Photography.  Design Works created striking centerpieces with personalized graphics and elevated basketballs in custom logoed cases.  Scoreboards and slideshow images were projected on the surround screens while sleek red spandex chair covers banded in black complimented the red napkins in black sports band favors.  Guests enjoyed contemporary white lounge seating at the edge of a basketball imaged dance floor.  An eclectic assortment of food stations featured some of Coby’s favorite foods with creative signage like “Gold’s NY Pizzeria” & “Coby’s In & Out Burgers & Dogs”.  Fun Productions provided hoops and gaming tables while RIPM Entertainment, a green screen photobooth, a bling station, and VooDoo Doughnuts kept young and old happy and entertained all evening.  Congratulations, Coby!  Your bar mitzvah celebration was a slam dunk!

With the 2014 Winter Olympics recently wrapping up, we thought it would be fun to share Michael’s Olympic Village Bar Mitzvah on our blog.

     

Michael’s home was transformed into an Olympic Village for his bar mitzvah celebration.  A game tent sporting everything from hoops and air hockey to roulette and blackjack started the evening of fun.  From there, guests walked under market lights to a reception tent where golden fabric swooped from high ceilings, framing a custom Olympic logo.  Faux torches, personalized medals, global flag escort cards, eclectic food with international flair, and a custom Olympic stadium cake completed the exciting evening with classy detail.  Décor n More, Pure Energy, Elegant Bakery, and Fun Productions are just a few of the vendors we had the pleasure of working with to create this memorable celebration.  See a full listing at the bottom of these fantastic pictures from Gaston Photography.
