Bat Mitzvah in a Garden of Treats
A well-planned event is one that brings together all the various aspects at the right balance and in the right place.
Planning a party to celebrate the traditional Jewish coming of age – the Bat Mitzvah for girls or Bar Mitzvah for boys – entails a unique challenge: how to create a homogenous event that is enjoyable both for youngsters and for the adults alike.
The father of this Bat Mitzvah girl hit the nail on the head by requesting the production company to conjure up an event that would balance “prestigious and childlike” – a request that would serve as the guideline for an evening that catered to a variety of tastes.
The event, staged at a private residence in the prestigious neighborhood of Savion, accommodated 500 guests.
Outdoors was a children’s compound with a central performance stage. The compound had an American diner theme with decor right out of the 70s disco era. Accordingly, the young guests were treated to good old American food – an all-time favorite for youngsters.
To sprinkle the affair and the star of the evening with a bit of stardust, the guests were ushered in on a red carpet, under a blaze of flashing cameras.
The grownups were seated around the children’s section, enabling the moms and dads to lean back on plush couches or to socialize around white tables and chairs while looking over their young ones.
The pink and white color coordination visually linked the kiddies area to the provincial style adult area which blended perfectly with the surrounding manicured garden which instilled a sense of calmness and stylishness. The adults were treated to a plethora of provincial delicacies such as ribs, red mullet, Charcouterie meats among others, prepared to order in provincial-style market stalls.
A rich bar complemented the menu with wine and liquor for adults and smoothies for the children.
Even the small treats appealed to the youngsters and their older counterparts – fresh fruit popsicles served on the dance floor and American fudge Sundays for the rest of the guest – can’t say no to that.
The performance stage churned out a fair share of surprises throughout the evening in with video clips, performances by prominent children’s stars and more. The stage and dance floor bought together youngsters and adults with teen idol Roni Superstar galvanizing the spirits. The Bat Mitzvah girl, whom dancing is second nature to, enjoyed her moment in the limelight and shared her talent with the guests alongside a professional dance ensemble in a specially choreographed dance to Kate Perry’s California Gurls.
Her parents and brothers surprised her with a video clip of their version to Gali Atari’s song “Do only what you like to do.”
The well balance variety of decor, food and entertainment culminated in a unique event that was enjoyable for guests of all ages.
