A Providence, Rhode Island bar mitzvah

I love when my phone rings again and then Mom on the line says, “Jen, we need you again!” Son number 2 was ready to be celebrated and the day was perfectly planned with the help of Erica Paige Events and Parties. We captured all the right photos in the synagogue with friends and family, moved to the after service events with kiddush luncheon, and then gathered later at Pawtucket’s BreakTime Bowling. If you are looking for an amazing venue in Rhode Island to celebrate a bar mitzvah, I highly suggest Breaktime Bowling! The large open interior is a perfect backdrop for whatever theme you can imagine creating, it is big enough to host a large party with plenty of space for dancing, a Photo Booth, and room to sit and catch up with friends and family. Erica Paige did an amazing job creating for this family the perfect logo for Charlie’s bar mitzvah and the decorations were on point. Saigel Productions knew how to get the dance floor to fill quickly and had everyone on their feet all night long. This bar mitzvah collection was one of my favorites to deliver. The energy of the dance photos alone makes me so happy. When the collection was complete there were plenty of candid bar mitzvah photos that captured the love and happiness that everyone felt for Charlie. Scroll below to see the fun!

A winter bat mitzvah in Providence

Cheers to Sophie’s Mom who outdid herself in creating a fabulous day for her very sweet daughter! The theme of this bat mitzvah was top cheddar (for all of you lacrosse fans out there!) from the lacrosse balls that everyone signed, to the mini stick centerpieces, to the fantastic place cards with shoutouts to every team that Sophie and her teammates have been on. The Graduate Hotel sparkled with elegance as everyone came inside, posed on the gorgeous staircase, and made their way upstairs ready to hit the dance floor. Dressed with their best Nike kicks Sophie’s guests kept the DJ busy and bounced between the Photo Booth and swag table. Many thanks again to Temple Beth-El who is always so very accommodating to families who come from afar to celebrate very special 13 year olds and their bat mitzvah.
