Planning notes
From synagogues in Highland Park, Skokie and Wilmette to receptions in hotel ballrooms, country clubs and event lofts, bar and bat mitzvah celebrations across the Chicago area bring together several generations at once.
The seating plan often has two halves: rounds for adults near the dance floor and a separate, high-energy area for kids. Grandparents want comfortable chairs near the action, and the kids mostly want to be near the DJ.
Themes can be anything from sports to Broadway to a favorite color. We'll suggest chairs that work with the décor and the venue, and confirm the venue's load-in schedule, especially if setup follows Shabbat services.
