Bar Mitzvah in Fort Lauderdale
When Jewish boys turn 13 years old, they're no longer considered a minor and become a bar mitzvah. Likewise, when Jewish girls turn 12, they become a bat mitzvah. If you're looking to celebrate this milestone with your friends and family by having a celebration for your child, EVNTS Inc can help. We offer plenty of services to make your Fort Lauderdale bar mitzvah a success.

Photography: If you decide on having bar mitzvah photography, you'll want to check your synagogue's policy on pictures during the service. Some only allow photography during the rehearsal. You can also choose to hire a video photographer to interview guests during the celebration.
Food: You'll also want to create a menu for your party. You can do a cocktail party before the main meal with fruits, cheeses, and hors d'oeuvres. For the main meal, consider a carving station, buffet, or sit-down meal.
