For this event, I had the honor of planning and managing a three-part Bat Mitzvah celebration over two days, delivering an unforgettable experience for 250 guests across multiple events. As the Event Planner and Manager, I orchestrated every detail, ensuring a smooth, cohesive, and personalized flow across the celebration.
Event 1: Meet & Greet (50 guests)
The celebration kicked off with an intimate Meet & Greet for close family and friends. I arranged a relaxed setting with light appetizers, including specialty grilled chicken tenders, large variety tortilla chips, gourmet dipping sauces & desserts creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Event 2: Ceremonial Luncheon (75 guests)
Following the ceremony, I managed a beautiful buffet-style luncheon, showcasing an array of meticulously arranged foods like bagels with lox and cream cheese, sushi, diced eggs, tomato slices, cucumber, onions, assorted olives, baklava and other specialty items.
My team and I enhanced the food presentation with elegant props and designs to elevate the guest experience. I supervised a staff that ensured everything ran smoothly and adhered to the ceremonial guidelines under the direction of a rabbi.
Event 3: After Party (125 guests)
The grand finale was a lively after-party with 125 guests, including adults and children. Themed in vibrant pinks and blacks, I coordinated the party’s food prop design, including the floral arrangements, linens, and decor. With a DJ, special lighting, mocktail bar, fondue stations, and bite-sized food bars, the event captured the energy and excitement of the celebration with a coming of age youth inspired theme.
I also served as the event and floor manager for the catering staff, ensuring timely service and high-quality ex*****on.
From ordering specialty food, rentals & decor items to assisting the executive chef, managing the setup, and overseeing take-down…every aspect of the event was professional and high quality.
Outcome: The result was an incredibly successful event, with the client expressing their satisfaction by paying $10,000 for the service, plus a generous tip of $1,800, reflecting their appreciation for the flawless ex*****on and personal touch my team and I brought to their special day.
