This Bat Mitzvah girl wanted a true “theme” for her Bat Mitzvah party. The venue Pine Hollow Country Club in East Norwich, New York was transformed into “Julia In Wonderland” for this special celebration.
The whimsical decor put guests right into the middle of a fairy tale in every way. The highlights of the evening included the “live” interactive tables and magical WOW of an entrance!
White Light Photography and Video was the photographer and the rest of the vendor information is listed at the end of the spotlight.

Mom to Mom Advice
“While many kids choose NOT to have a theme and want to create more of a nightclub atmosphere, I felt that choosing a theme allowed all my vendors to let their creativity run wild! The excitement surrounding the “Julia in Wonderland” planning made all of our meetings with the vendors so much fun! It also allowed Julia to step out of her everyday world and enter a fantasy world for the evening. In addition, Dazzling Parties truly transformed the venue into a dream world that set the tone for the entire party. Spending the extra money on the decor is always a worthwhile investment.”
