My thoughts and approach from start to finish...

In The Beginning

From the time your first guests arrive I am working for you. If you're planning a cocktail hour in a separate room for the adults, I like to be with the kids interacting with them and playing their music. It's important for me to build a rapport with the kids so they feel comfortable interacting with me later in the evening. People puzzles, trivia contests, name that tune, karaoke and my “Game Show” are just a few of the things I do to keep the kids occupied.

Introductions
The guest of honor is the star of the show and is usually introduced into the room accompanied by upbeat music with a real high-energy feel. I can also announce the entire family as well. Some times I will have all your guests stand up and form two rows on both sides of the entrance allowing the guest of honor to high-five their friends and family as they come into the room. I also can make other suggestions for introductions based upon a special theme you may have.

Music
My CD library has thousands of songs that include music for all ages. Big Band, Show Tunes, Classical, Country, Motown, Disco, 50's, 60's 70's and 80's as well as the latest songs for the kids. All of my music is “Radio Edits” that eliminate the bad language.

Traditions
Some very special ceremonies may be taking place your Simcha. Maybe you're planning on having Havdallah. Hamotize and Kiddush, welcome speeches, candle lightings and certain parent dances are all things that you'll likely want to observe. I assure you I will make these events stress less for you by carefully planning beforehand. It is my commitment that these formalities will flow smoothly, letting you relax and feel like a guest at your own event.

Candle Lighting
The Candle Lighting Ceremony can take a lot of time planning so everything flows smoothly. Finding the perfect song can sometimes seem like an overwhelming task. I get asked often “ How Do I Pick The Songs”, so I have put together a Candle Lighting Song Suggestion list that I will share with you. I will edit the songs so they start at the appropriate place. All you have to do is tell me what song to play for what person and in what order they are being introduced, it's really that simple. When choosing the music try to keep things upbeat whenever possible.

Interactive Activities
I have several innovative games and activities available to increase the fun of any event. A few of my interactive games not only involve the kids but the adults as well. The following are a few of my favorites:

Pepsi, 7-UP (A Mitzvah Classic)
Hula Hoop Contests (Watch as the adults get involved, hilarious.)
Huggy Bear (Kids get into groups of the number we call out.)
Scavenger Hunt (You'll never know what we will ask for!)
Swing Dancing (Surprised, kids really do know how to do this.)
Freeze Dance (Fun for everyone participating.)
Human Bowling (Look mom, no hands!)

Dance Floor Lighting
I have several different lighting options available to match the size and style of your party. Effects include Concert Style or truss mounted Club Lighting, Haze Machines, Snow Machines and Torch Lights.

Music Videos
I can provide the latest music videos, as well as classic music videos all on DVD. The videos are projected on truss mounted plasma screen TV's as the audio is played through my sound system for dancing. This option can be added to any of my packages.

Party Props
Party Props and Give-Aways are so important and each event that I include many of them in my basic services. The most popular Give-Aways are: Night-Glow-Necklaces, Blinking Rings, Flashing Buttons, Inflatable Giant Shoes, Funky Hats, Stunner Shades and Inflatable Guitars.

I can bring them, or you can order them from my party store. I'm also happy to give you some ideas on how you can make these items themed to you event.

Extra Entertainment
One of the best decisions you can make to increase the participation and success of your event is to add more entertainers! I use only professional entertainers with years of experience, not some high school or collage student looking to earn some extra money. My team is fun, full of energy, interactive and exciting to watch. Never inappropriate or over-bearing, they're great at interacting with the kids, showing them dance moves and involving the adults without being obtrusive.

Group Dancing
Interactive dances are a great way to get kids and adults together on the dance floor. I can teach your guests the Cha Cha Slide, Get Down Tonight and The Cupid Shuffle as well as a host of others. This is where you'll see different generations of people engaged simultaneously on the dance floor; it really is a special site. Don't worry about the volume! With me and my team leading your group we will never have to use volume to replace the lack of excitement and energy. Everyone will be dancing!

Traditional Jewish Dances
Dancing a Hora is usually a must! I feel if you have a guest that's only going to dance to one song the entire event, it should be this one. We engage everyone! Raising the guest of honor in the chair, siblings and sometimes the entire family. I can also involve your guests by teaching them Israeli dances such as Mayim, Zemer-Tik and Yesh.

Final Thoughts
You'll find that honesty and integrity are some of my core values. There will be no surprises at your event, if you hire me you will get me! If I cannot deliver exactly what you're looking for, I will refer you to some one else. Total Client Satisfaction is my specialty and I pride myself on repeat business. I consistently deliver to clients with some of he most discriminating tastes. My success is evident in my large & growing base of satisfied customers, in the last several years I have hosted countless Bar and Bat Mitzvah parties. I recommend calling me early in the planning stages, as I have an extensive database of other vendors that I'm happy to share with you.
