"Today I am a man. Tomorrow I will return to the seventh grade."
...Rumination of a 156-month old
Baltimore, MD
Hello Parents! Glad you found this site...
.
EVERY TIME I GO TO WORK, I'M GOING TO A PARTY! How many people can say that?
Have you ever watched a DVD movie twice...the second time with Audio Commentary provided by the actors and director? That "behind-the-scenes" info they provide is fun and fascinating, isn't it? Relating to Mitzvah entertainment planning, you're about to obtain essential "insider" info which you would otherwise have no way of unearthing. I think you'll get a few laughs along the way, too.
You'll save a MEANINGFUL amount of money as you hire a Bar or Bat Mitzvah DJ of YOUR CHOICE! I'm also going to provide you with PEACE-OF-MIND. Know what your DJ knows. A Mitzvah is not simply a Birthday Party. This is a momentous day, so why "keep your fingers crossed" during your DJ quest? Enjoy planning this function. Don't dread the process or lose sleep regarding the outcome.
DJ'S SECRETS REVEALED! How To Select (And Get The MOST Out Of) Your Bar or Bat Mitzvah DJ exposes parents to hard-to-find resources to help make an informed choice when hiring a DJ, and to make this significant decision with confidence.
As a "Top 40" Radio Music Director, Program Director and Disc Jockey as well as a 26-year veteran of the Mobile DJ circuit, I've performed at well over 1000 Mitzvahs. Get the benefit of my knowledge and experience (and experiences!) With useful information, warnings, guidance and recommendations, this "Simcha Insurance Policy" is loaded with tips regarding Mitzvah planning. I'm going to drench you in them.
Take a moment, scroll down, and get A "TASTE" OF WHAT'S INSIDE. You'll then realize how much you don't know...for the time being!
DJ'S SECRETS REVEALED!
also includes significant information designed to enhance any Bar or Bat Mitzvah,
so it's just as applicable and instructive for parents who have already made their DJ selection.
