We had the pleasure of planning an insanely fun and exciting bar mitzvah for the most amazing family and birthday boy, Jake! The theme was “JakeChella” so we brought to life a vibrant festival for the occasion.

The venue for the bar mitzvah bash was at a helicopter hangar in Scottsdale – already a cool and unique place to host an event! The birthday boy made a grand entrance to hundreds of guests by flying in on a helicopter! How epic is that?

There was some rain in the forecast on event day, so we decided to create an awesome entrance area under a tent that made for the perfect cocktail hour vibe. We had a festival arch with Jake’s name and neon balloons, where guests got checked off the “VIP” list and got a custom lanyard with their name and table number on it.

Under the cocktail tent space was a bar, photobooth with an epic backdrop, custom graffiti hat station, airbrush tattoo artists, and even a luxe lounge for guests to mingle. Servers passed around delicious light bites to hold the attendees over before dinner was served.

Once cocktail hour was over, the hangar doors opened to reveal the reception space inside! We transformed this white hanger into a moody and fun environment with guest seating, lots of neon colored up lights, and fun balloon centerpieces.

After eating at one of the amazing kid-and-adult-friendly food stations (Raising Cane’s chicken tenders & fries, a sushi bar and a taco bar) Guests danced the night away and kids played arcade games like air-hockey and pop-a-shot!

Thank you to Jake and his family for allowing us to make this very special celebration magical. It was so much fun!
