Mitzvah & Jewish Celebration FAQs
Can you work with Kosher caterers and accommodate dietary laws?
Absolutely, that’s priority number one for us when it comes to Jewish celebrations. We have experience coordinating with kosher caterers and understand the importance of maintaining dietary laws for your celebration. Whether you require strictly kosher catering, need to accommodate various levels of observance among your guests, or have specific dietary requirements outside of the traditional ones, we work with caterers and venues that respect and understand these needs.
Do you have experience planning Jewish celebrations?
We have extensive experience planning a wide range of Jewish celebrations and observances! Over our two decades in the event planning business, we’ve coordinated numerous bar and bat Mitzvahs, Rosh Hashanah and Passover Seders, as well as Kiddush events and Shivas. We understand the flow of service, and the importance of the traditions that make these celebrations meaningful for you and your family.
Can you do celebrations at restaurants?
Yes! Many of our clients choose to celebrate at restaurants, so we’ll coordinate directly with restaurant staff to ensure your event runs smoothly. We manage the restaurant relationship, coordinate timing and service, provide additional staffing if needed, handle setup of any personal decor or design elements, and oversee the flow of the celebration so you can relax and enjoy.
How far in advance should planning start for a Mitzvah?
We recommend starting the planning process 9-12 months before your child's bar or bat mitzvah to secure your preferred venue and vendors. However, we've successfully coordinated beautiful celebrations on shorter timelines. Earlier is always better to give yourself more options, but if your date is coming up quickly, reach out and we'll do our best to work with your timeline.
