Ross Rocks Bar Mitzvah

The American Heritage Dictionary defines mitzvah in two ways: 1. a commandment of the Jewish law and 2. A worthy deed. It is the time when a son or daughter in the Jewish faith becomes literally “one of the commandments” acting to express human kindnesses. The Bar Mitzvah, for a young man, or Bat Mitzvah, for a young woman marks this milestone. More recently, the Mitzvah ceremony has become a popular way to commemorate this momentous occasion.
Celebrations Design Group has been active in many Mitzvah celebrations including Ross’ earlier this year. The festivities at the Downtown Doubletree spotlighted his love of classic rock and roll. Upon entering, guests were greeted with trend-setting silver truss lit with neon light tubes and faced in old time vinyl records & jacket covers to define the theme. Classic rock posters of Ross’ all time favorite groups were suspended from the ceiling in the cocktail area as a preview to the classic rock décor in the ballroom. Upon entering the ballroom, a wall of drape separated the area between the adult section and “backstage” entrance for the kids. Table centerpieces were split between illuminated upright rotating acrylic discs etched with rock band names (that became the table destinations, replacing standard table numbers) and classic rock t-shirts on body forms complete with flashing lights for a dramatic effect. The “Ross Rocks” theme was consistent throughout from his sign-in board of an oversized guitar to enhanced food buffet displays (the chef served the salads in open guitar cases) which were served on rolling stage production carts (replacing standard banquet tables) and even a custom gobo illuminating the background wall. Ross & his band of party goers told us the décor in the room contributed to a “rockin’ good time.”
