Bar/Bat Mitzvahs

There are several elements about the Bar/Bat Mitzvah market that strike fear into the hearts of all but the most cutting edge DJ's.

The biggest challenge facing the DJ is the fact that when the 13 year old customer is at the eligible age, all of their friends are too. Suddenly, the DJ is being measured by an incredibly discerning audience who has been to five Bar/Bat Mitzvahs already that year. This a completely different scene compared to the average gentile adult a who averages only one DJ'd party every three years.

Now add to that the difference in the audience. Adults tend to be very forgiving when faced with the same old DJ routines. But now, 25 to 60 percent of the guests are close to 13 years of age. Thirteen year olds don't connect with same old routines and many are anything but forgiving.

For this very reason, many people pay big bucks to import some DJ's in from out of town. They simply can't find the level of quality required to do the job here in the Southern Tier.

I consider it an incredible honor to be one of the few DJ's in the area that is consistently called upon to perform in this dynamic and demanding Bar/Bat Mitzvah market.

Consider this testimony:

"Johnny Only is a wonderful DJ. He put in the extra effort to customize our Bat-Mitzvah and meet our specific desires. He is reliable and very easy to work with.
And most importantly, he put on a very dynamic fun filled evening with great music and crowd inspiring enthusiasm. The place rocked and hardly anyone sat all night.
We were very pleased with his result and would hire him again without a doubt. Thank you Johnny for helping to make our evening so wonderful."
                              
      ~Signed, "A very satisfied customer"

This family chose to remain anonymous. But, after I performed at the event from which the testimony derived, the greatest complement I received was from the father who told me that a number of the guests could not believe that I was from the Binghamton area. It is sad but true commentary concerning the level of commitment exhibited by area DJ's.

This is how I do it.

The first key to my success in this arena is our planning session a week or two before your event. We sit down face to face with both the parent and the child. The reason is to establish up front and in the presence of both generations what balance is going to be struck between entertaining the kids and entertaining the adults.

Once I know your expectations, my success is measured by meeting your expectations.

The second key to my success in this market is my ability to establish rapport with the kids. During our meeting, I find out what seems "cool" to your child and what is definitely "not cool." The fact is that if he or she is having fun, all of the kids will have fun.

I do what it takes to make sure your guests have fun.

The third key is being familiar with, and having respect for, the traditions and ceremonies of a Bar/Bat Mitzvah celebration. We will discuss what traditional and ceremonial aspects you would like to include. It is then up to me as your Master of Ceremonies to make it happen.

Whether it is an exciting high energy grand entrance or a finely tuned candle lighting, my MC style  must communicate with clarity, sincerity, and emotion so the activities flow smoothly and naturally.

The fourth key is knowing when to start entertaining the adults and keeping both generations on the dance floor. Timing and balance are everything.

There is only one pace for an effective Bar or Bat Mitzvah DJ and that pace is ALL OUT FULL-THROTTLE!!!

At YOUR Bar/Bat Mitzvah, that's The ONLY Way to Celebrate!
