Making It Count: A NY Bat Mitzvah Fit For A Star

Young adults lounge

When you’re a star, you’re a star, and that was definitely the case with this girl. Knowing this, my job was to create a celebration befitting such a bright light. Let’s relive Maddie’s star-studded Bat Mitzvah party.

Hampshire Country Club provided a perfect backdrop for this celebration. The huge ballroom was divided into distinct sections: a comfortable adult lounge, complete with star-studded and bedazzled centerpieces, gleaming modern seating, and crisp white linens with sparks of bright pink throughout.

The young adults “club” area featured white chic modern furnishings with chrome accents and logo’d pillows. Pink uplighting helped pull the entire space together.

Pink and white were also the colors of the night when it came to this great sign-in mirror.

And that tree is rooted in the grandfather, who stepped right up to preside over the Ha Motzi.

But the highlight of the evening may have been when mom took to the mic, and accompanied by two friends of the mitzvah girl, performed a broadway showstopper!

Each young adult went home with a logo’d hoodie to remind them of a very special evening.
