A bar mitzvah (for a boy at 13) or a bat mitzvah (for a girl at 12 or 13) marks the day a child becomes responsible for the commandments. After the service comes the celebration, and for most families it is the biggest party they will throw until a wedding: the grand entrance, the candle lighting, the hora, the photo montage and a dance floor that does not empty.
We have DJed and run bar and bat mitzvahs for years. We plan the night with the family, MC every moment, bring the dancers and the musicians, light the room with the name on the wall and cover the photos and video, so one team handles it all. Below: ideas for each moment, what it costs, three packages and a planning timeline.
We know the traditions
The hora, the candle lighting, the blessings and Israeli and Jewish music, for Reform, Conservative and Orthodox families.
DJ, MC and planner
A planning meeting before the party and the same DJ and MC running the timeline on the night.
The whole show
Dancers, a saxophonist or percussionist, lighting, the montage screen, photo and video from one company.

Most bar and bat mitzvah parties follow the same order of the night. Here are our ideas for each moment and what it takes.
Book early. Mitzvah Saturdays and Sundays book six to twelve months ahead, often as soon as the date is set with the synagogue. Reserve the DJ and the entertainment right after the venue.
Most families plan a bar or bat mitzvah party over nine to twelve months, starting from the date the synagogue sets. Here is the order that works, and the timeline below shows what to book when.
| When | What to do | What to book |
|---|---|---|
| 12 months out | Set the date with the synagogue and pick the venue | Venue |
| 9 to 12 months out | Book the DJ and MC, the photographer and the videographer | DJ and MC, photo, video |
| 6 months out | Choose the theme and the colors, the dancers and any live musicians | Dancers, sax or percussion, lighting |
| 3 months out | Send the invitations, start the candle lighting list | Monogram design, balloon decor |
| 1 month out | Finish the photo montage and the song lists, meet with the DJ | Montage file, must-play list |
| The week of | Final headcount and timeline; we confirm the setup time with the hall | Setup time |
Setup and breakdown are included on every bar and bat mitzvah. We load in before the guests arrive, set the sound, the lighting and the screen, test the microphones and the montage, and take it all away after the party. For a kiddush we work around the synagogue schedule.

Photos from bar and bat mitzvahs we ran in New York: the hora chair lift, grand entrances with cold spark fountains and fog, candle lighting on the cake and on a Star of David candelabra stage, and our DJ and MC taking requests, running games and packing the dance floor.
Yaniv was very friendly, helpful and efficient servicing helium balloons for our lunar New Year event. He came to event and blew the balloons. I did not have to go anywhere. I now rehire him to service our upcoming event. Thank you, Yaniv. Tom
Friendly, courteous, punctual, informative and helpful! Yani was great to deal with. We used this company for an outdoor church event and they were very professional! Highly recommend and will definitely use again!
We have been renting extra-large helium tanks from them for our stores in Brooklyn for several years. We have locations in Williamsburg and Borough Park, and before the holidays we order helium tanks to fill balloons for the kids. They deliver the tanks directly to our stores and the service is always reliable and convenient. We have used them many times and have always had a great experience.
After the service, the party usually runs about five hours: the grand entrance, the blessings over the bread and wine, dinner, the candle lighting ceremony with family and friends, the hora with the bar or bat mitzvah lifted on a chair, the photo montage and a lot of dancing. A DJ and MC keeps it all on time.
A bar mitzvah is for a boy at 13 and a bat mitzvah is for a girl, at 12 in Orthodox communities and usually 13 in Reform and Conservative ones. The party traditions are the same: the entrance, the candle lighting, the hora and the dancing.
Our Mitzvah Party DJ and MC package is $2,995 for 5 hours of music with a planning meeting, PA Plus sound, 8 uplights, dance floor lighting and two wireless microphones. Extra hours are $295. The Full Mitzvah Celebration with dancers, lighting with the name on the wall and the montage screen is $6,995.
Thirteen candles, or fourteen with one for good luck, a list of the family and friends lighting each one with a short poem, a song for each group and a wireless microphone. Give the list to the DJ and MC three weeks ahead so the songs are ready.
The DJ starts it at the right moment with Hava Nagila and Israeli music and keeps it going as long as the room wants. Party dancers lead the circle and bring everyone in. The chairs for the lift usually come from the venue.
Broadway, a favorite city like Paris or New York, sports, a color palette, glow parties and Hollywood. The easiest way to tie any theme together is uplighting in the colors, the name projected on the wall and balloon decor to match.
