Bar/Bat Mitzvahs DJ’s and more from NYC
Elegant and fun best describes our dj style. Our dj’s are usually hired by parents who want their family and guests to have the best time possible without the dj and entertainment being “over the top” or intrusive. Our Dj’s have proved time and again that you can have a superior party without the dj music being too loud and without an emcee screaming in the microphone.(Please visit our BAR/BAT Mitzvah blog site for more photos and information) The following is a video montage of a recent Bar Mitzvah we dj’d in NYC at the Manhattan Penthouse with Expressway Music NYC DJ services.
- First of all…
What you’re concerned about (but are too afraid to ask)….
“Will the emcee pay too much attention to the more outgoing kids (or small children) and forget about my daughter? (After all, it’s her Bat Mitzvah.” )
“My son is afraid of being embarrassed and doesn’t want to be the center of attention.”
“I’ve never done a candle lighting ceremony before. What do I have to do?”
“These are pretty sophisticated kids who like to dance and are up on all the latest fads. You’re not going to make them play a lot of childish games are you?”
“In my son’s circle of friends, the girls always seem to end up on one side of the room and the boys on the other. I wish there was some way to break the ice.”
“The last Bar Mitzvah I went to, the dancers were dressed like hookers.”
“The lyrics of some songs they play at these things are clearly inappropriate for a Bat Mitzvah celebration.”
“I hate it when the dj music is so loud that the adults can’t carry on a normal conversation.”
“I hope they’ll have some slow dancing for us old folks too.”
“Do we really need those party props that we see at every bar mitzvah?”
And the answers are…
Your concerns are justified But they’re not a problem. The solution is a DJ /emcee who (a) listens well and (b) recognizes that since no two kids are alike.
Why should Bar/Bat Mitzvahs be stamped out of a cookie cutter?
The first thing we do is listen Seems simple, doesn’t it? But you’d be surprised at how many entertainment organizations are oblivious to your concerns or those of your Bar or Bat Mitzvah boy or girl. The last thing you want is to wind up with an event that zigs when everyone there wants to zag.
The next thing we do is sit down with you and talk it over. If you want a tight rein on song lyrics, we’ll be happy to pull them. If you’re concerned about the entertainment not being “too young” or “too old,” let’s discuss it. If your son or daughter likes to be the center of attention or conversely would rather not be in the spotlight, either way is fine with us. Just let us know. If your grownup guests are more likely to be talkers than dancers, let us know about that too.
We’re good at adjusting “on the fly” You never really know how a Bar/Bat Mitzvah will come off until it actually happens. And occasionally there are times when a quick change in direction is just what the doctor ordered. We’re good at that, and our emcees and DJ’s are trained to keep a watchful eye on the audience and to respond accordingly. This may be your first Bar/Bat Mitzvah; it’s our umpteenth! If you’re not quite sure how to deal with special ceremonies like candle lighting or the reciting of prayers over the challah or wine, not to worry we’ll go over it with you every step of the way.
