The Barzilay Bar Mitzvah Family Spotlight

The Barzilay family wanted a fun celebration for their son Jake’s Bar Mitzvah which was held at the Bridgeview Yacht Club in Island Park, New York. By the look of their photos, we think they achieved their goals! Jake loves the Miami Heat which was the theme of his celebration.

The Barzilays looked great in their coordinated outfits. Darlene’s dress is by Skinz from Rhonas in Manalapan, NJ, and she also made the matching vests for Todd and Jake

The Barzilays used MME Entertainment with Michael (the owner) as their DJ. They decided on upgraded giveaways that you can see below.

The hats and “arm band” tattoos were supplied by the DJ company

The favors for Jake’s friends were created by And That. The girls received black tank tops with Jake’s initials in crystals and the boys received a true basketball jersey!

 Toward the end of the party, guests were treated to foot and back massages arranged through Darlene’s nail salon. Great idea!

Advice from Mom Darlene:

Darlene did an unbelievable job throwing her son Jake’s Bar Mitzvah and has this advice for other Mitzvah planning moms: “There is no need to stress, everything works out. This will be one of the best days of your family’s life. Relax and try to enjoy every minute!”
