Win it in a Minute Bar Mitzvah | Pacific Palisades, Ca.

Like many Barron's Bar Mitzvah had to be put on hold due to the world still in lock down in 2021. Cut to 2022...well he is turning 14, but we still celebrated his Mitzvah in a big way!

When mom Jenna called us, she expressed that she wanted something different and for the kids to stay entertained. We suggested to add-on our super fun mobile Win It in a Minute game show. This includes a variety of 60 second mini games that can be suited for most ages, a show host, screen for game instructions (just like the real TV show) The challenge was, how do we do a game show with 50+ contestants? We came up with a game plan to put together 5 groups of 10-12 kids with a coordinating color wrist band. The games went over great! We had our Cookie Race (race to see who can move a single cookie down from the forehead to your mouth, without any hands) Shake & Rattle, Movin On Up and a few others that were handpicked just for Barron's special celebration.

Check out our highlight video

NFL Bar Mitzvah at SoFi Stadium | Los Angeles Ca.

Every once in a while we get calls that are not music entertainment related. This particular event was just that. The call was for a Mitzvah, but not your traditional celebration by any means. It was for Josh's Bar Mitzvah and being held at SoFi Stadium! That's right the new stadium where the NFL Los angeles Rams and Chargers play. On this one we left our music gear behind and put together a super fun football themed program for Josh and all of his friends right on the field. It was also the very first weekend that SoFi was open for special events. Pretty awesome if you ask us.

Ready For The Big Game…
