Celebrating life's special occasions is our passion! One of the most special occasions we adore are bar/bat mitzvahs - when according to the Jewish law, a boy or a girl enter adulthood and begin fulfillment of the the mitzvahs or Torah's commandments. This is a rite of passage from child to an adult, with all the duties and responsibilities that come with it.

We were were truly honored when Biana and her family reached out to us to help create an amazing celebration for her amazing daughter - Rafaella. Planning a celebration during a pandemic is challenging to say the least; we faced many obstacle - from venue's management backing out of their contract, to a few vendors bailing out last minute due to personal reasons. However, very little can stand in our way of creating a celebration to remember - we always have a plan B! Rafaella's vision was of a Winter Wonderland - a fairy-tail of snowy trees, crystals, and glitter. Rafaella also loved horses and princess castles, everything else was up to us! We came up with an incredible display of silver, white and light blue evergreens, lighted birch trees, a magnificent frosted arch - a focal point at the entrance to the ballroom. We rented gorgeous custom linens, set the most beautiful backdrop for a custom made castle cake, and created enormous centerpieces of orchids and roses for the guests tables. The cocktail hour took place in a custom-built tent under a gorgeous crystal chandelier with perimeter decor inspired by Cinderella - a lighted horse-drawn carriage among the gorgeous trees. The guests were then invited into a breathtaking ballroom where Challah breaking and Candle lighting ceremony took place. Our fantastic MC Alex wowed guests with his virtuoso accordion playing and games equally enjoyed by all ages. Despite all the challenges and obstacles through the months of planning, this celebration was one to remember. We wish Rafaella and her family love peace and happiness! Mazel Tov!
