Entertainment is an important part of any celebration, especially a Bar/Bat Mitzvah. Not only does entertainment make a Bar/Bat Mitzvah more enjoyable, but it also creates lasting memories for the guests. Here are a few ideas for how to make your party unforgettable!

1. Photo booths are a great way to capture these memories and provide entertainment for guests of all ages. Photo booths have expanded to include 3d experience videos, boomerang videos, and photos directly to your email or whatsapp, so explore your options before settling on the standard magnet photographer!

2. A DJ can keep the party going throughout the night and add some fun activities to the bar/bat mitzvah. Adding a Live Musician (or more) can provide a festive atmosphere for the Hora, or traditional Jewish circle dance.

3. For even more excitement, consider hiring dancers to lead the crowd and make everyone feel comfortable getting up and out of their seats onto the dance floor. There is usually an option to have it be obvious or hidden, depending on what you want for your event

4. A hypnotist, comedian or magician can entertain guests with a unique and interactive show.

5. Circus performers, such as clowns, contortionists, and sword swallowers can provide an element of fun and mystery to the bar/bat mitzvah. Party robots can add some technological flair with their ability to dance, take pictures, and offer unique performances using LED lights and lasers.

6. Live music is a great way to add energy and excitement to any Bar/Bat Mitzvah. Consider hiring an electric violinist perform at your event.

7. To bring a little bit of art into the bar/bat mitzvah, consider hiring a temporary tattoo artist who can provide guests of all ages with custom tattoos. Customized spray painted hats, tshirts, sweatshirts, or even basketballs is a popular option, and caricatures are always a hit!

8. Art Projects are really popular at Bat Mitzvahs. Cake decorating, jewelery making, or creating something as part of the Bat Mitzvah Project (I've seen groups decorate cookies/cupcakes and bring them the next day to the hospital) always goes over well.

9. Something I've seen recently is a lot of venues adding in game rooms with video games, pool, air hockey and ping pong, or doing the entire event in a bowling alley, ice skating rink, or amusement park. While the adults mingle over cocktails, the kids are entertained, and everybody's happy!

10. A unique dinner performance for the main course can really add to the atmosphere of your event. My name is Ariella Zeitlin and I specialize in family friendly dinner shows with my unique LED electric violin. I specialize in Jewish events worldwide, and I would love to talk to you about how we can work together to add that extra touch to mak your event even more special.
