Bar Mitzvah in Columbia

When Jewish boys turn 13 years old, they're no longer considered a minor and become a bar mitzvah. Likewise, when Jewish girls turn 12, they become a bat mitzvah. If you're looking to celebrate this milestone with your friends and family by having a celebration for your child, Attention To Detail Event Planning can help. We offer plenty of services to make your Columbia bar mitzvah a success.

Scheduling Bar Mitzvah Photography and Other Vendors

From bat mitzvah photography to catering, there are plenty of different Columbia vendors you'll want to work with when you're planning your celebration. There are also some considerations you need to keep in mind when you're planning your vendors.

Entertainment: You need to decide whether you'd like to hire a band or disc jockey. Often, a disc jockey can bring lights, fog machines, and projection screens to add to the fun. Other entertainment options you can consider include:

  • Caricature artist
  • Photo booth
  • Karaoke
  • Arts and crafts tables

Decorations: You'll want to add some table centerpieces and decorations around the venue. Centerpiece ideas include:

  • Flowers
  • Balloons
  • Jars of candy
  • Other items related to theme

A few decoration items you might want are:

  • Table linens
  • Balloon arch
  • Chair swags
  • Ribbons and streamers

Photography: If you decide on having bar mitzvah photography, you'll want to check your synagogue's policy on pictures during the service. Some only allow photography during the rehearsal. You can also choose to hire a video photographer to interview guests during the celebration.

Food: You'll also want to create a menu for your party. You can do a cocktail party before the main meal with fruits, cheeses, and hors d'oeuvres. For the main meal, consider a carving station, buffet, or sit-down meal.
