Bar & Bat Mitzvah Planning and Management
For many clients, a Bar or Bat Mitzvah is the first large event they’ve hosted. There are so many decisions to be made and the event jigsaw puzzle needs to be assembled carefully. The event needs to reflect your value system, how you are raising your child(ren) as well as your budget. Come in for a complimentary initial conversation and let’s see how we can help you.
What people are saying about us!
Ellen and her team planned and managed our daughter’s bat mitzvah and did a superb job. They really listened to what we wanted and made it happen, with no hassle, no delay, no nonsense, but in a nice, calm and in control way which is what we hoped for when we hired her. By the way, Ellen was recommended to us by a good friend who is in the business (live music for events) and who used Ellen for her own kids’ mitzvah a year ago or so. The event came off perfectly, and we got nothing but what seemed to be 100%++ sincere praise from friends and family of all ages on it. I won’t exactly say Ellen underpromised, because she let us know it would be great which put our minds at ease, but she definitely overdelivered, which is saying something because she set a high bar to start with. You can’t go wrong.
Personally Yours handled my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah and the Friday night dinner. I can not say enough good things about Ellen, Teri and Robin. I didn’t stress at all because I knew I was in good hands. Ellen was very responsive to all my e-mails in fact, she must work around the clock because they were answered the same day I sent them including those on the weekends. She re-negotiated all aspects of a contract that I had originally entered into where she felt I was at risk. Let’s put it like this if I needed a divorce lawyer I would want someone like Ellen. She had my back the whole time and got the job done. If you are trying to plan a big event I would highly recommend Ellen, Teri, and Robin. They do not disappoint.
We had a wonderful weekend! Thanks to you and your team for all of your help. I wouldn’t have changed a thing!
Thank you does not begin to express our appreciation for your professionalism and kindness throughout our entire bat mitzvah experience. We could not be any happier with how everything turned out. Both of our kids had the time of their lives! The room looked incredible and you had everything handled… I didn’t have to worry about anything which was fortunate because I was somewhere lost on cloud 9 and couldn’t have focused if I had needed to. You guys are the best. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you so much for your help with our daughter’s Bat Mitzvah celebration. The room looked fantastic. It was bright, colorful and upbeat; just what we were hoping for. The balloons and the tables look beautiful. We received so many compliments! The signage was great and since that place is tough to get in and out of, we think you really hit the nail on the head with all of that. Thanks so much for making sure everything was as it should be for our celebration. It was a special day for our family.
Well, our foreign guests just left and tomorrow, the rest of our out of towners will leave as well. I let the kids stay home today and ride the elevators at the Hyatt all day and stay with grandparents! We thank you, thank you, thank you. You are amazing before the event but on site, you are truly terrific. It was as if you were the director and kept everything running on schedule and smoothly. I don’t know how you kept a smile on your face the whole time! My relatives said it was one of the best bar mitzvahs that they been to in many years. The flow of the night was fabulous and the room looked amazing. It was a great balance of wonderful looking decor but it never felt over the top. The entertainment you recommended was spot on. We had the right amount; neither too much nor too little. I need a little bit of a break before we start planning our next simcha…. But at least you now have it on your calendar so I know we’ve got you! Thanks again for everything!
I can’t thank you enough for making my daughter’s bat mitzvah such a joyful event on Saturday. Our guests raved about the food (how much fun it was, how unlike normal party food it was, etc.) and many commented on how lovely the service was. I am tremendously grateful to you for being so accommodating of all our needs, and for working so closely with me to make sure that we were happy. You really went out of your way, and I appreciate the extra effort! It was a magical evening for my daughter (and us), and you helped make it that way!
Thank you so much for helping to make this past weekend one of the best of my life. Our events went flawlessly and I wouldn’t have changed a thing. Everything was impeccable, and all of your touches like the amazing sign-in book, piano music, herbs, signage, and overall looks of the rooms were fabulous! The food was better than I could have imagined. And, the added treat, was that you all made ME feel so special. And honored.
I loved working with you, getting to know you, and am so grateful for the wonderful day you helped me have. I had a blast last night and only wish I had more time to play games, dance, laugh and eat dessert!
I just wanted to take a moment to offer our heartfelt thanks to Team Ellen for everything you all did to make this weekend come off so well. The best thing I did as we worked to get this event going was to bring you all in! I benefited from your skills and talents from start to finish: from your insights on how to phrase and address invitations to the way in which you helped me remember to breathe when Ainsley was late for photographs. Thank you for everything, and please do not retire before I have to plan a wedding!
