Bar Mitzvah Entertainment
There
are two types of Bar Mitzvah Entertainment.
There is Bar Mitzvah cocktail entertainment,
and Bar Mitzvah reception entertainment. Bar
Mitzvah cocktail entertainment is provided
during the cocktail hour which is the first
hour of the party. Bar Mitzvah cocktail entertianment
is in a seperate room, and not in the main
dining and party room. Bar Mitzvah cocktail
entertainment is for the kids while the adults
gather and meet and greet. Bar Mitzvah cocktail
examples are as follows: airbrush tatoos,
basketball game, photo pavors, rock band video
game, personalized photo dog tags, etc.
Reception Entertainment is the main
entertainment. It can be a band or DJ or both.
Most Bar Mitzvah parties use Bar Mitzvah DJ
Entertainment companies. Kids relate to the
music a DJ plays compared what a band can
play. A Bar Mitzvah DJ Entertainment company
provides more than just a DJ. A common Bar
Mitzvah entertainment package for about 150
guests would include a staff of four: MC (master
of ceremonies, emcee), a DJ (disc jockey,
dee jay), and two motivational dancers (one
male, one female).
The VJ, the newest element in the Bar
Mitzvah Entertainment world is VJ's, (video
jockey). like the DJ, the VJ plays not just
music, but music videos. While the DJ plays
CD music, the VJ plays DVD music videos. While
the DJ plays music from a computer, the VJ
plays music videos from the computer also.
Video screens and plasma monitors are used
to display the music videos, as well as the
Bar or Bat Mitzvah child's DVD photo montage.
The video screens and plasma monitors are
also used to display video animation, and
custom DVD candle lighting discs. Where the
DJ/VJ is behind the scenes working the music,
lights and videos, the MC is on the dancefloor
entertaining with the motivation dancers.
The MC coordinates the Bar Mitzvah
party. The catering schedule, and grand entrance,
candlelighting, motzi, kiddish, hora, announcements,
follow-along dances, toasts, the videographer
and photographer placement, first slow dance,
etc. Most would agree the MC is the most important
element in a successful Bar Mitzvah reception.
An experienced MC creates the energy and excitement
that family and guests expect from a once
in a lifetime Bar Mitzvah event, all while
putting the family and facility staff at ease
with his professionalism. Of coarse the music
selection is also very very important, and
the sound system and microphone. It is understood
that the MC/DJ duo that works together every
weekend have the most successful Bar Mitzvah
events under there belts
The Motivational Dancers motivate the
crowd and the guest of honor to participate
in the fun. The motivational dancers change
costumes, and provide costume changes for
the guests participating in party sets like:
motown, grease, ymca, etc. The motivational
dancers also hand out party favors and glow
items, and well as party props. Dancers also
act as judges for the kids games, and kid
security guards!
