I had the joy of planning a Moonlight Garden-themed Bat Mitzvah at the Science Museum of Virginia for a returning family. The celebration was filled with style, entertainment, and personality, reflecting the Bat Mitzvah girl’s love for NYC and her chic, modern taste.
A Fashionable Entrance and Entertainment
The teens entered through a hallway designed as a fashion runway. The parents enjoyed cocktail hour in the Speed Zone. The kids headed to the Rotunda, where Limelight Event Group brought the fun with twin dancers, a glow fairy, and a disco ball dancer. Skee ball, a custom photobooth, and an LED dance floor kept everyone entertained.
A Chic NYC Bodega
The venue was transformed with black, cerulean blue, silver, and white decor. A standout element was the custom-built NYC bodega, filled with the Bat Mitzvah girl’s favorite snacks and drinks. This added a personal and fun touch that tied back to her family trips to the city. The dining stations offered a metropolitan, upscale experience perfect for the occasion.
Stylish Lounges and Custom Merch
White and silver lounge furniture set a sophisticated tone, and provided soft seating for guests. The custom merch shop—offering branded hats, backpacks, sweatpants, and t-shirts—was a major success with guests. As a sweet ending, guests received cronuts from the family’s favorite local baker, adding a personal and delicious farewell.
Personal Details Make the Event
Planning this second Bat Mitzvah for the same family was such an honor. Every detail, from the decor to the NYC bodega, was tailored to reflect the Bat Mitzvah girl’s unique style and personality, making it a truly unforgettable celebration.
