A Rock n’ Roll Themed Bar Mitzvah Celebration

A Rock n’ Roll Themed Bar Mitzvah Celebration

The Goldman family from East Setauket, New York, celebrated son Nathaniel’s (Nate) Bar Mitzvah on September 19. 2015, with the service at Temple Isaiah in Stony Brook, New York, and a party at Nissequogue Golf Club in St. James, New York.

This family pulled out all the stops giving Nate an unforgettable celebration. Nate loves playing the guitar. Not only did he made a rock star entrance at his party, but he also performed!

Pictured L-R: Dad Todd, Bar Mitzvah boy Nate, Mom Arlyn and Brother Noah.

The photographer was Colleen of Stephen Andrews Studios and the rest of the vendor information is listed at the end of the Spotlight.

Mitzvah Details

There were many creative details adding to the branding of Nate’s theme. 

Mom Arlyn is an interior designer and very creative. She and Nate worked closely with the graphic artist at Gotham T-Shirts to get the logo just right

Mitzvah Entrance 

Nate Goldman made his grand entrance via helicopter! He was taking flying lessons, so this was a great way to make his entrance

Music & Entertainment 

The team from Barattini Productions played Nate’s favorites to keep the dance floor packed all night long, and Magician Eric Wilzig performed an amazing act with the star of the night.

Nate is a big rock music fan and guitar player, so it was perfect that he got to jam onstage for his guests. Some of the songs he played included, “Mama I’m Coming Home” and “Smoke on the Water”
Nate was surrounded by his friends on the dance floor
Magician Eric displayed an empty cage
Covered it with a red cloth
How did Nate get inside?
Ta Da!

Mitzvah Favors & Exit Treats

Gotham T-Shirts designed the black hooded-zipped sweatshirts.  There were also Nate’s World Tour concert t-shirts in the logo’d backpacks. Guests exited this celebration with breakfast for the next morning thanks to the Goldman family who provided bagels as an Exit Treat.

The party date and logo was printed down the arm and Nate's initials were on the back
Kona Ice, always a nice treat
Mom Arlyn purchased everything for the candy bar…
…including the custom bags

Mitzvah Project

As part of his Mitzvah Project for Temple Isaiah, Nate took part in 13 Mitzvahs. Some of those included: playing the guitar at a nursing home, donating toys and food for different drives, donated his own money to help build a school in Cambodia; sent care packages to send to soldiers overseas and since he is a black belt in karate, he helped out in classes with kids who were lower belt ranks at his karate school.
