Neon Vibes at This Bar Mitzvah in the Vail Valley

Jack Schwartz’s Bar Mitzvah was held on a picture perfect snowy day in Vail, Colorado. To contrast the winter backdrop, Party Girl Events planned a bold, neon colored reception. From neon lighting, centerpieces and giveaways, to LED furniture, the result was a bright, high energy celebration that was all about having a good time! After Jack’s service at Congregation B’nai Vail at , a mix and mingle/soiree style reception was held at The Sebastian – Vail. Rather than a formal sit-down, various food stations kept the guests mingling while the DJ Amuse – who is also a Hebrew tutor! – kept the dance floor packed.
