Talia’s Urban Studio Portland Bat Mitzvah

Along with her friends, Talia was really excited for her Urban Studio Portland Bat Mitzvah celebration held on Saturday, May 28, 2022.

As guests gathered in the bar area above the main room or sat at their tables, I played about 45 minutes of background music before entertaining the kids with games, including “Name That Tune”, a scavenger hunt and one of the best limbo competitions. I was told ahead of time that Talia was really good at the limbo, but the finalists also included her mom and one other adult.

Dinner followed in the main room and then a speech from the guest of honor’s parents. Next, I opened the dance floor with the vocal version of “Hava Nagila” which led to the chair raising of Talia and her parents.

The theme was “Hawaiian” and cool accent lighting projected palm trees in each corner of the main room. At some point, the large garage door was opened to reveal a shaved ice truck which understandably drew many away from the dance floor, but only temporarily. Adults and kids danced the night away to the big hits, such as “Happy”, “Hey Ya” and “Cupid Shuffle,” plus the family’s requests for classics “Dancing Queen” and “Celebration”.
