The Event Of A Lifetime planned and executed a Bar Mitzvah celebration that was very clever! The guest of honor’s name is Bryce but everyone calls him “B.” His middle name is Lennon, as in John Lennon. So, with a nod to The Beatles, the branding became Let it B along with some soccer elements. The Havdallah service and party were held at The Salem Club in North Salem, New York. Every detail was meticulously branded by Melisa Imberman.
The photographer was Peter Oberc Photography.

EJ The DJ is always on the lookout for what’s hot in Bar Mitzvah and Bat Mitzvah planning. They know what’s the next “big thing” in the world of entertainment and are ready to incorporate it into your child’s celebration.
Recently, they were the event planners for a B’nai Mitzvah for Shelby and Olivia with a Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory theme. The celebration took place at The Fountainhead in New Rochelle, New York (now closed). From the entertainment to the decor and dessert, EJ the DJ brought in details from the movie transforming this venue. One of the highlights included a show-stopping conveyor belt for the dessert!
The conveyor belt was designed and incorporated to make guests feel like they were in a chocolate factory. EJ The DJ can customize the conveyor belt for any theme or food. It is especially popular for sushi and or dessert presentations. The set up takes about about 2 hours.

The Bednoff family celebrated their son Aidan’s Bar Mitzvah at Main Line Reform Temple in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania and their celebration at the Sheraton Valley Forge Hotel in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. When the family first learned of their son’s Bar Mitzvah date, May 5, 2018 they immediately knew they were going to embrace Cinco de Mayo or in this case a Cinco de Aidan theme. Bold colors, a mariachi band and great food rocked this fiesta Mex Mitzvah.
Pictured L-R: Sister Brooke, Dad Mitchell, Bar Mitzvah boy Aidan and Mom Leigh.
The photographer was Christine Foster Photo and the rest of the vendor information is listed at the end of the spotlight.






“As far as the date… Aidan’s birthday is May 22nd and when looking ahead at the calendar to send requests dates to Temple, May 5th was the one that worked best for our family. We immediately knew if we got it, we were going to embrace the Cinco de Mayo theme. And when the letter arrived confirming May 5th, we were so excited! Being the end of the Mitzvah season, we wanted to do something a little different because the kids have been to so many throughout the year. So what’s better than doing a “Mexican inspired” Bar Mitzvah to be a little different. Aidan was so excited and talked about his own ideas and thoughts since we received the date 3 years ago.”
