DJ and MC

The Theme for Harry’s Bar Mitzvah was the New York Yankees Hall of Fame Players. Instead of flowers each table had a Hall of Fame NY Yankee cut out as it’s center piece. Below is a photo of DJ Dave Swirsky wearing an authentic Jersey of the the NY Yankees with Expressway Music extraordinary emcee Alberto at the Bar Mitzvah.

Coke and Pepsi

Coke and Pepsi is a Bar/Bat Mitzvah game that has been around longer then most of us would truly care to admit and is as popular now as it’s ever been. It’s played by splitting the group in half and having each half line up on one side of the room—call one “Coke” and the other “Pepsi.” The DJ will yell “Coke,” and all the Pepsis will have to run to the Coke side of the room and sit on their partner’s knee (and vice versa). The last pair is out. Continue this process until only one pair remains. Variations include yelling “Dr.Pepper,” which means everyone has to run to the middle and yell “Harry Rocks” (with the last pair going out).

Limbo

We had an epic Limbo game at the party where almost every one of the 75 kids participated and where the adult guests were cheering participants on through out. There were some seriously talented kids at the party and it came down to the three best limbo dancers that almost had to be call a draw!

Sports Games

We provided Pop a Shot BasketBall, Foosball and Air Hockey that was extremely popular all party long.

Dancing

There was a lot going on at this Bar Mitzvah and to fit in serious dance sets wasn’t easy but we managed to get a couple of great ones with the kids dancing with the adults (our specialty). DJ Dave played hits from today, Motown, Disco, 80’s and more!

Expressway Music Photo Booth

Our Photo booth is always a hit. We actually offer a number of different photo booths and for Harry’s we had our Open Air Photo Booth  


We also provided a “Show N Go” Video Screen and Projector to play the Montage which worked out very well.

The Yale Club

The Yale Club NYC is a very nice venue to hold a special event. They have multiple spaces, a nice staff and extremely friendly and detailed Event coordinator Dari who helps clients and vendors every step of the way.
