In New York City, mitzvahs are more than family milestones: they’re full-scale productions.
Clients expect creativity, seamless execution, and moments that impress the guests as much as they honor the celebrant. To make that happen, technology is a must.
For planners, integrating the right tech into a bar mitzvah can be the difference between a celebration that looks like every other party in town and one that becomes the benchmark for future clients.
