“Carly and The Chocolate Factory” Bat Mitzvah Theme

21Mitzvah Mom Alison tells Mitzvah Market, “We decided to hold a Covid safe indoor Bat Mitzvah service and outdoor reception under a tent to celebrate Carly’s special day. She always dreamed of a “Carly and the Chocolate Factory” themed Bat Mitzvah, since I own a custom confections business. We took the theme and ran with it!”

Despite a rainy evening, this family danced all night with close family and friends celebrating their girl.

More Than Music created this life size walk in chocolate factory and filled it with all of Carly's favorite candy and Sweet Ali treats!

When guests arrived, they found their seats with 100% edible personalized Wonka Bar - you could even eat the wrapper!

Alison’s Mom to Mom advice

“Choose a great venue and the best vendors and be prepared to PIVOT (in the wise words of Ross Gellar). The unexpected rain definitely put a wrench in our plans, and a local noise ordinance prompted a visit from the local police…but nothing could shake our vendors. Between Jared the quintessential mensch of More Than Music, Phyllis the wizard from Extraordinary Products, Andy Foster our incredible photographer, to the unshakeable Amy Hochberg our event planner, they all seamlessly shifted gears. Working along with the fabulous Meadow Wood staff they quickly realigned timing, placements, service, etc., to make it look like it was meant to happen that way. They were all perfection. Also…don’t sweat it. It is what it is, don’t let it stress you out. You have to be ready to roll with whatever transpires and just enjoy all the hard work and effort you and your child put into this celebration.”
