Brooke opted for a super cool Bat Mizvah venue in trendy Midtown at Opera.

The party kicked off with the kids inside the club and the adults in a tent outside. The kids enjoyed getting the party started with Khalil and VIBE, while they munched on “cows” in a blanket and mac n cheese fritters, just to name a couple.

The adults enjoyed delicious cocktails and fabulous apps of Caprese salad on crostini and mushroom fontina flatbread (among others) and rocked out to “throwback” 70s and 80s music to start the evening off right!

Guests were invited into the club after cocktail hour and Brooke made her grand entrance from upstairs looking down on all her adoring fans!

The space was decked out in true Brooke style; with tons of “B”s adorning the space to match her adorable theme. Above the food and drink stations were these awesome signs, all courtesy of Let’s Celebrate.

After a short dance set, dinner was served. Guests enjoyed an array of choices, from a pasta station, to gorgeous grilled veggies and an herbed flat iron steak, but the highlight was for sure the live sushi station! Brooke’s friends and family enjoyed made-to-order sushi creations from the sushi chef.

After dinner, the party kicked into high gear with VIBE! Everyone danced the night away, taking breaks only to “B” hydrated and perhaps to visit the green screen provided by Button It Up.

Laura Tarquino with Vosamo captured all of the fabulous moments throughout the evening and made sure to catch this great shot of the “dance floor” picture complete with glow sticks!

The evening was topped off with delicious desserts provided by Opera and King of Pops, and Brooke’s guests left exhausted and happy; complete with water bottles and sports bags as favors.

Lauren and Rachel hosted a fabulous B’nai Mitzvah at the cool and casual Monday Night Brewery.

As guests arrived, they were greeted with the musical stylings of DJ Atlanta Fever and delicious appetizers by Zest. Some favorites included their ever-popular mini grilled cheese with tomato soup shot, and a fresh tuna crisp.

Guests admired the décor, courtesy of Kim Quinn Designs, of these rustic wooden signs, bright colors and patterns and funky decorative bottles of all shapes and sizes.

Zest also delivered a fabulous dinner of salmon and beef brisket, a “to die for” salad with an array of toppings, and an “Ultimate Taco Bar” the likes of which cannot even be described!

The kids enjoyed hot dog, hamburgers, fries and onion rings from our hometown favorite, the Varsity.

Memories in a Moment provided Rachel and Lauren’s guests with a fun photo outlet to play around with, while Photographer Eric Wittmayer captured perfect and professional shots of all the evening’s festivities.

The party wound down with everyone’s favorite: dessert. Guests had a choice of gorgeous plated desserts by Zest (including mini brownie bites, lemon bars and chocolate dipped Rice Krispy Treats) or ice cream, courtesy of Atlanta Ice Cream Truck. Kids went crazy deciding what they wanted while the adults might have ordered more than one to try. Ice cream makes people smile! 

Rachel and Lauren’s rounded out their evening with a tribute circle (see what we did there?…) and M&M’s as favors for a sweet ending to a sweet celebration!

Jonah threw a cool and casual Bar Mitzvah celebration at the Garden Hills Recreation Center for his family and friends. The décor vision was simple; lots of red and blue colors throughout the space and fun golf and sports props to complete the look.

Balloonacy did a great job on this fabulous job on decor and the JONAH balloons The linens were provided by Cover Ups.

As guests got the party started, they enjoyed a mouth watering nacho bar, courtesy of Moe’s and chowed down on the best pizza in town, courtesy of Mellow Mushroom.

The Rec Center was such a fun and cozy venue, that it made the musical styling of Mello with Fever seem larger than life!

To give the party an extra “pop” Monte Carlo provided two pop-a-shot basketball machines, that kept the guests entertained and the competition fierce throughout the evening.

Photographer Heather Dettore didn’t miss a moment as she worked the room throughout the night; we especially love this one of Jonah high in the sky during the Hora!

The party wound to a close with homemade goodies from family members – what a sweet touch – as well as an ice cream sundae bar.

Congrats to Jonah and his family on a fabulous party and a most memorable night!

Hannah hosted a bright and beautiful Bat Mitzvah celebration for all of her family and friends and Temple Sinai.

Her fun, sunny color palette matched her bubbly personality, with colors of yellow, green and blue. Michelle Friedman Designs did an amazing job transforming the space into exactly what Hannah and her family envisioned.

Hannah’s guests arrived ready to party! They were greeted with delicious appetizers of ahi tuna tartare, fried green tomatoes and pomegranate glazed chicken skewers, along with fun cocktails during cocktail hour.

As the adults were invited into the main party space, DJ Mello with Fever welcomed the crowd with some great tunes and his always electric personality to get all of the guests going! Hannah opted for a cool extra DJ feature; LIVE stream footage so that the world could stay up to date with THE most happening party of the season.

Once Hannah’s guests had danced up an appetite, dinner was served. Stations included a baby spinach salad, miso glazed salmon, fingerling potatoes, and a rosemary marinated filet of beef tenderloin.

Once everyone had had their fill, it was time to hit the dance floor again! Hannah’s guests danced the night away, while photographer Chuck Robertson captured all of Hannah’s most memorable moments.

Speaking of moments, one of Atlanta’s most popular green screen providers, Memories in a Moment, was onsite to provide fun and goofy photo options for Hannah’s guests as well.

As the night wound to a close, guests enjoyed one last delicious hurrah of individual sweet treats including s’mores cupcakes, mini ice cream sandwiches and color wheel sugar cookies.

Guests said their goodbyes and made their exits with adorable sweatpant favors and Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Hannah, we LOVED working with your family! 

Maya selected the Westside Cultural Arts Center to celebrate her Bat Mitvah with all of her family and friends.

As her guests entered the party, they oooh’d and ahhhhh’d over the fun and festive décor. Balloonacy did an awesome job; from her signature “M” logo, to swirls and chevron galore! Maya chose to deck out her space with classic colors of silver, black, pink and turquoise.

Catered by Bold American Events, guests enjoyed appetizers of mini smoked gouda and BBQ chicken flatbread, Caprese salad on a stick and mini loaded baked potatoes.

Once the adults wrapped up cocktail hour and entered the party, dinner was served, and there was literally something for everyone. So that you don’t try to eat your screen, we’ll try to keep our description here simple. Adults had a choice of two stations (or hey, eat both!):

Italian Inspired Station: Here guests feasted on Caesar salad, balsamic roasted chicken, seared salmon, and fingerling potatoes with arugula.

Savory BBQ Sundae Station: This was such a cool twist on a classic food station! Guests were invited to build their own “sundae.” Step 1 was a base (potatoes or mac n cheese), step 2 guests picked a protein, and step 3 topped the creation off with an array of sauce choices. And finally, step four, garnish with your choice of topping! It was such a huge hit, and we’re pretty sure nobody left hungry!

Once Maya’s guests had eaten their fill, everyone hit the dance floor to the musical stylings of DJ Khalil with VIBE.

Guests danced the night away and made fun memories courtesy of Button it Up green screen.

Photographer Daniel Menacher captured Maya’s precious memories throughout the evening, and made sure not a moment was missed.

As the evening wound down, guests turned their attention to the fabulous mini dessert display. It boasted mini s’mores cupcakes, red velvet cupcakes, mixed berry trifle, and chocolate mousse.

As if that wasn’t enough sweetness, guests bid farewell to a fun evening with cookies with Maya’s logo, courtesy of Ali’s cookies.

Congrats to Maya and her family from all of us here at BC! We had fun celebrating with you!

Client Testimonial: “We would like to thank you for helping to make Maya’s Bat Mitzvah such an incredible and unforgettable event.  Your creativity, resourcefulness and depth of experience helped guide us through the Bat Mitzvah party planning processes and took all of the stress away!   You not only had suggestions on how to customize the party for our daughter you also knew how to extend our budget in the process.  On the day of the event you and your team handled all aspects of the service and party and allowed our family to relax and enjoy our special event without a worry.  We are grateful for all of your guidance!  We will definitely be calling you again when our next Mitzvah comes up!”

It’s no surprise that many kids opt for a sports themed Mitzvah because who doesn’t love sports, right? Micah’s sports themed Mitzvah reflected his love for not one specific sport, but many. He is a baseball, soccer, tennis and basketball player, and his party certainly reflected his ‘love of the game’.

Held at Sweetwater Brewery, guests entered the parking lot to be greeted by a huge Micah banner hanging from an outdoor balcony with Micah’s logo and the slogan “Game Time, It’s On!”

The Micah logo was everywhere; from silhouettes on vases, to hanging “M”s, to logos on the backs of the chairs, decals on the walls, and graphics on the TV screens.

The décor was simple yet made such an elegant statement: rustic wooden signs, candles, and gorgeously simple arrangements of succulents among the tables.

We’d like to thank Kim Quinn Designs, I Do Linens, Let’s Celebrate and Atlanta Event Décor for all of the fabulous work they did to make Micah’s event so memorable. We’d also like to give a shout out to Peachtree Tents and Events for the tables, linens and lounge furniture.

Getting back to the party, before the guests even entered the main event space, they enjoyed cocktail hour on a beautiful evening outside on the front patio of the brewery. Nick Edelstein and his band played country music while the guests enjoyed their cocktails, delicious appetizers of ahi tuna, pigs in a blanket, shots of gazpacho, and some good ole’ fashioned tailgate cornhole.

As the guests entered the main event space, they were greeted with dozens of Micah’s game jerseys, all hanging from the second story balcony, as well as a super cool chicken-wire fence (of sorts) with all kinds of action shots of Micah playing the sports he loves so much.

Once guests entered, they were immediately ready to party! Zest Catering was ready with a full service bar, and various food stations, some of which included a lettuce wrap station, a tailgate station and a taco station. The Zest staff even wore aprons with the “M” logo; it was everywhere!

Atlanta Fever cranked up the party right away and guests never left the dance floor. The room was dark, lit only with some red shine on the walls and Micah’s red logo, the guests loved it!

One of the coolest parts of this party was the Second Line, a traditional New Orleans dance. Apparently, the first performers in a parade are called the “first line” and a “second line” just consists of people following the parade and dancing to the beat of their own drummer, to put it simply. They often twirl parasols and hankerchiefs in the air too, and this is just what this crowd did! Songs like When the Saints Go Marching In, and the Mardi Gras Mambo blared. Everyone loved it. Something a little different is always fun!

While some of the younger guests took breaks from the action, Memories in a Moment was onsite to provide a fun photo outlet for all.

We’d also like to mention the great work done by photographer Vosamo, and videographer James Futch for capturing all of the wonderful moments throughout the evening.

As the party began to wind down, guests began to reach for desserts of cake and rice krispy treats, as well as passed macaroon and cupcakes.

As guests made their exit, they departed with “M” logo backpacks containing blue tooth speakers, a sno ball from the sno ball truck parked outside, and memories to last a lifetime! Aunt Tara and her team were thrilled to call this one a success!

Hailey threw a fabulous party for all of her friends and family at Temple Sinai!

Let’s Celebrate did not disappoint as they brought Hailey’s girly and gorgeous vision to life. The space was adorned with colors of pink, turquoise and glittery accents that made the whole room sparkle! Atlanta Event Décor finished off the shimmery theme with silver chivari chairs.

As Hailey’s guests entered the space for cocktail hour, they were greeted with mouth watering appetizers of tuna on a crisp, pimento cheese on a jalapeño corncake, chicken tacos paired with adorable mini margaritas, and pigs in a blanket, all provided by Zest Catering.

The kids got the party started in the reception area as Atlanta Fever cranked up the volume on this party right away!

Once the adults entered the space, everyone took their places for a delicious dinner from a variety of food stations.

As dinner came to a close, the party really started! Fever brought the energy up and everyone hit the dance floor.

The most memorable part of the evening was when Hailey made her grand re-entrance. Staff changed into custom shirts that read “Hails Yeah” and carried her in on the Hora chair to do the Hora with all of her delighted guests!

Photographer Steven Dewberry caught this and all of the other memorable moments throughout the evening, and Memories in a Moment allowed guests to take photos of their own with a variety of different props and backgrounds.

As the party wound down, guests enjoyed desserts of cake pops, chocolate mousse and delicious passed ice cream sandwiches. Kids (ok, and adults too) went nuts over the ever popular Waffle House truck and took down their weight in waffles.

Hailey’s guests departed after a fun tribute circle to the songs “Lean on Me” and” Time Of”, and headed home with comfy frat tanks as favors and memories to last a lifetime.

Mom testimonial:

“Thank you for planning another incredible mitzvah for my family.  You were my first hire in this process- BEST DECISION EVER! Your attention to detail, calm confidence during the party and all the incredible suggestions and creative ideas leading up to the weekend made it perfect!  I loved working with you and can’t wait for mitzvah #3!”

Emily and Corey said “I Do” at the rustic and trendy King Plow in Midtown.

Inspired by the couple’s love of their garden, Juli Vaughn Designs transformed the space into a warm, romantic, and GORGEOUS indoor garden in the middle of January!

We just cannot say enough about the beautiful job Juli and her team did on the décor; it was literally breathtaking. We especially LOVED this gorgeous shelf of flowers and candles hanging over the sweetheart table.

We’d also like to give a shout out to Steve Hicks with Atlanta Event Décor for the stage and the rustic farm table that guests used for the couple’s sign in “plank”. The plank was such a creative idea; instead of signing a guest book, Emily and Cory’s friends and family all wrote words of congratulations on a wooden plank to be turned into a bench and cherished in the couple’s garden.

Emily walked down the aisle to her eagerly awaiting groom and the two were married in a simple and beautiful ceremony. Once the couple was escorted to their private dining room (to grab a much needed bite to eat), guests moved into cocktail hour, where they enjoyed cocktails, and noshed on fabulous passed appetizers.

Everyone was then invited into the main reception area where they enjoyed a plated salad of kale, candied pecans, blue cheese and granny smith apples, topped in a cider vinaigrette, courtesy of Bold American Events.

Emily and Corey opted for a cool South City Kitchen inspired menu, boasting fried chicken and gravy, mac and cheese and broccolini. They also featured a mouthwatering lemon sole served with kale, fingerling potatoes and sautéed Brussel sprouts. The coolest feature of the menu however was a “build-your-own” BBQ bowl of sorts; a huge hit with the guests!

Once everyone had had their fill, the band, Emerald Empire, kicked into high gear and everyone hit the dance floor. One of the most memorable things about this event was how laid back and relaxed both the bride and groom were; they were literally just absorbing the LOVE in the room and embracing every moment of their fabulous celebration.

Catherine Park, with My Life Photography captured some gorgeous shots of all this evening had to offer, and the results were absolutely stunning.

Emily and Corey’s guests enjoyed a sweet ending to their magical night with an almond and chocolate cake by Ali’s cookies as well as Nutella pie pops (ridiculous!), salted caramel tarts and a turtle cheesecake trifle.

We think it’s safe to say that the couple’s gorgeous garden wedding was a success and we wish them nothing but love and a lifetime of happiness for the future!

Hannah threw her bright and cheery Bat Mitzvah celebration at the chic and trendy Summerour in Midtown.

Hannah’s family and friends fondly refer to her as “Hannah Banana”, and her theme reflected her fun and bright style, with this cool banana curtain, and cute banana logo. Isabel Bryan with BEE (Best Event Ever) did a fabulous job on the décor and really transformed the space into just what Hannah envisioned.

As guests entered, they were greeted with some pretty fabulous food, courtesy of Added Touch. The kids had beautiful and nutritious “Han-rolled” vegetarian sushi, mac n’ cheese bites, and blue tortilla chips with a choice of dipping sauces.

The adults enjoyed cocktails as well as beef tataki rolls, tuna tartare, and fresh, gorgeous flatbread topped with tomatoes, basil and balsamic during their cocktail hour.

Once guests were invited into the event space, DJ Es Puete Productions wowed the crowd with their insane setup and got the party started in style.

Before things really kicked into high gear, Hannah’s guests enjoyed a delicious dinner. The three stations boasted a pressed sandwich bar, a taco display, and a southern station; complete with fried chicken, mac n’ cheese bites and homemade buttermilk biscuits. Mmmmmm Mmmmmmmm!!!!

After everyone had had their fill, Es Puete Productions turned up the volume on the crowd! Hannah and her guests had a fabulous time dancing the night away to all of today’s hits.

Always a crowd favorite, Button It Up green screen was onsite to provide a fun photo outlet to all of the guests.

Photographer Chuck Robertson and videographer James Futch made sure to capture all of the memorable moments Hannah made with her friends and family. We especially love this moment of pure joy during the Hora!

The night began to wind down with the “Hannah Banana Frozen Bar” that simply could not be resisted. Guests devoured frozen bananas pre-dipped in chocolate, along with a variety of toppings.

As Hannah’s family and friends made their exit, they were all gifted Hannah logo shirts, logo lip balm and logo iPhone buttons. Talk about a fabulous ending to a great night! We loved celebrating with HANNAH BANANA! 

It’s no news flash that every girl looks forward to their fairy tale wedding and relishes in telling the story of “how he did it” when it comes to the proposal. We’ve all seen proposals at sporting events, fancy dinner venues, and the like, but we thought it would be fun to round up a few creative ideas that maybe you hadn’t thought of.

1. Ski Lift Proposal: Yes, we know, it’s not snowing (yet) here in Georgia but what a great winter proposal idea. Spell out “will you marry me?” in the snow below the lift and show it to her from above! If you’re really feeling ambitious, you could write little love notes in the snow on the ride up and save the “big question” for the top.
2. Scavenger Hunt Proposal: Think of a few meaningful places to you and your girlfriend as a couple; maybe throw in a stop at a nail and hair salon so that she can get all dolled up. You may even choose to go the extra mile and hire a professional photographer to capture the big moment once she finds you at the end of the hunt. Then all you’ll have to do is pop the question in a beautiful, romantic spot she will most certainly never forget!
3. Create A Personalized Movie: With so much technology at our fingertips, its simple to make a homemade movie for the one you love. You can compile your favorite pictures together and set your slide show to “your” song, or even videotape yourself in all of the memorable places you’ve been together. You may even choose to include her family in this one; have her watch the movie, then have family and friends on site to help you both celebrate, and of course to watch your movie masterpiece themselves.
4. Game Night Proposal: Plan a game night for just the two of your or with friends. When it’s your girlfriend’s turn to answer a question, say: “Your question is: Will You Marry Me?” Make sure to make an actual trivia card so that she can treasure this moment for years to come.
5. Photo Book or Scrapbook Proposal: This one is our favorite. Make a scrapbook of all of your memories together; from the places you’ve been (vacations, sporting events, etc.), to all of the things that are unique and special to you as a couple. Present her with the book and when she gets to the end, drop down on one knee and pop the big question.

Asking someone to spend the rest of their life with you is a big deal and should be tailored to your personal style and preference. It has to fit YOU! We hope that these ideas have inspired you to get a little creative! If you have a great proposal idea you’d like to share, please post it in the comments below!
