Plan-it Vicki a special events company in Avon, Connecticut, recently created a Bar Mitzvah celebration for a huge basketball fan who was having his Bar Mitzvah during the weekend of the Final Four college basketball tournament.
Owner Vicki Ross worked with the family on all of the winning details. The party was held at the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame located in Springfield, Massachusetts, and they had the game live-streamed during the celebration to make all the guests, including the Bar Mitzvah boy, happy!
The highlight of the evening was a special surprise video featuring the guest of honor’s friends and various ESPN personalities!
Entrance signage welcoming and directing guests to Will Call
The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame has an actual Will Call booth area that was used for guests to receive their tickets (place cards)
Signage directed guests to the proper window and then proceeded to their table, which corresponded to a team in the Sweet 16
The sign-in board had photos of the Bar Mitzvah boy in basketball gear surrounding the
tournament bracket with plenty of white space for guests to sign-in
The view of Center Court from above
Each table showed its school spirit with a college pennant
The pennants were placed in a vase that glowed and basketball confetti was scattered on the tables
Zac’s Final Four logo looked great on the menus. The food was catered by Max Catering
There were cute mini converse-like ankle socks to wear when the guests' feet got tired from dancing. These were placed in a miniature navy locker matching the theme
As Zac's friends left the party they were given a t-shirt with Zac’s special logo on the back. Custom name tags made it easy to ensure the right size went home with the right guest!
The highlight of the evening was a special video that surprised the Bar Mitzvah boy and all the guests. It featured various ESPN personalities chronicling a fictitious bidding war between various college teams for Zac’s basketball services. The “SportsCenter” anchors were two of Zac’s closest friends since preschool.

A styled photo shoot is a way for vendors to push their creativity, play with new event ideas and collaborate with other vendors who they may not have worked with before. There are many of these photo shoots in the Weddings industry and for other special events, but rarely for Bar or Bat Mitzvahs. That changes now!
Pop Color Events, along with a team of Bar Bat Mitzvah vendors from the Washington DC area, put together a styled shoot with the theme, Color Outside the Lines. Using a “model” Bat Mitzvah girl named Talia, who loves art, they created a grown-up event that still felt youthful and fun for a 13 year old.
Brynne Magaziner from Pop Color Events tells us, “The Color Outside The Lines theme allowed us to utilize playful elements, like the brightly colored flowers from EightTreeStreet, intricate desserts from Occasionally Cake and the cheeky wording of the invitations from InvitingLee.” She continues, “Fun little details, like the watercolor place cards or the artist palette signage by Shrimp Salad Circus kept the event youthful and brings in the pops of color. The event’s logo created by Party Favorites ties it all together with the delicate font choice, but with bold colors and a nod to Talia’s love of art.”
Check out their photos for this mock Bat Mitzvah below:
