Dial up the request line for excellent weather, food, and entertainment. A great family and great friends make it memorable. The result is a bat mitzvah celebration for the ages! Welcome to our recap of Violet’s big night of friends, family and fun!

The evening started off with a lovely Havdalah service where the ceremonial attire set the mood for the evening ahead.

Then it was off to the Hartford Golf Club, which was awash in a sea of pink.

“VI Terrace” was our curated outdoor space for adults to enjoy their cocktail hour.

Black acrylic place cards were displayed amid a spectacular floral piece by Pentimento Design. The contrast with the black linen was simply stunning!

And what’s better than your personal chef-attended sushi station to go along with some very adulty cocktails?

The mitzvah girl and her besties got the VIP treatment from the get-go.

The young adults were encouraged to drop their swag in the custom bag drop zone, and leave a voice and/or video message for the guest of honor.

Young adult cocktail hour had it all. From colorful straws and logo’d stir sticks for the signature drinks, to logo’d napkins for the amazing apps and even light-up mood rings that kept the guests glowing all night.

Or perhaps a little air hockey is more your speed? Yeah, we’ve got that!

Florals are always so key to setting the mood, and how special are these? Note the way they play off, and enhance, the graphics and overall color scheme of the decor. Simply perfection!

The colorful menus, set atop bright pick waterfall napkins enhanced the pinked-out feel of the adult tables while different shades of decorative votives were placed just about everywhere you turned.

Little pops of pillow perfection added to the ambiance of the “VI-P” lounge.

The 3D photo booth, furnished by our great entertainment partners from Untouchable Events, was a hit with all the guests.

Let’s go viral and have the formalities begin!

Host family please enter the ballroom. Mom & Dad first.

Sprinkle in the siblings.

And then, of course, the guest of honor, arriving in style!

It’s Hora time!

Who doesn’t love a great parents’ speech?

Or when the grandpas lead the Motzi?

And the mitzvah girl leading a touching candle lighting ceremony!

The video montage brought out all the feels.

There was swag o’plenty to be tossed out.

This custom candy bar satisfied any remaining sugar needs.

Mazel Tov Violet! You had us all jumping for joy!

Easy! Done! Enjoy!
