Bar Mitzvah/ Bat Mitzvah Reception Outline
Click HERE for a PDF version
My objective is to make sure that I provide the very best entertainment for your event. Part of what makes a successful event is adequate planning of the agenda. Please print this and try to include as much information as possible regarding your desired format. Once completed, take a photocopy for yourselves, then send the original (and song list) back to our office two weeks before the event. We will then schedule a phone conference to go over all the details. Have fun with all the plans!
