Choosing a Miami wedding is a great option whether it’s your destination choice or if Miami is your hometown. No matter the venue or the time of year you choose to get married, one thing is sure, you want to look your best for that special day. 

Choosing a Miami wedding is a great option whether it’s your destination choice or if Miami is your hometown. There are several venues to choose from, Hotels, Beach Weddings, and historic venues; South Florida has a little something for everyone. Wedding season is a little different in South Florida; it starts in November and ends in May with February and April being the peak months. No matter the venue or the time of year you choose to get married, one thing is sure, you want to look your best for that special day.

Whether you keep the beard you have been growing since you graduated or you lost that fight with you future spouse, we recommend booking an appointment with a stylist the day before your wedding. Your fiancé would appreciate the clean look. With so many styles to choose from, we recommend speaking to the stylist and listening to their recommendations depending on your face structure and personal style.

There are a few factors when it comes to choosing the right tux. What color should you go with? What fabric is the best? Are you Notch or Peak Lapel type of guy? Before making the final decision on what tux is right for you, consider these options to make your tuxedo as customized are possible. Picking the color of the suit, shirt, bow tie, and shoes are our first recommendation to finding the right tuxedo. Wool is the most common fabric but cotton and linen are also good options because of Miami’s humid/ hot weather. You can also choose from different shirt plackets and cuffs. You’re in Miami so show off a little with some nice cufflinks. Wearing a vest is probably not the best idea outside but they sure look great for a more formal look. We recommend seeing a stylist and taking your time with all the options to make sure they are right for you.

If you’re not a model, this will be the day where you will have the most pictures taken of you. We recommend have your teeth whitened right before your wedding. A nice white smile will not only give you more confidence but also will great for the pictures. If manicures and pedicures aren’t your thing, make an exception for this one occasion; your fiancé will appreciate it.

With much anticipation, Jaxon Maximus is now ready to serve Miami with its headquarters in Brickell. Jaxon Maximus conveniently combines the art of men’s custom tailoring along with stylish male grooming. It’s a one-stop shop for men who want to look and feel their best. Jaxson Maximus will make it simple and easy for a groom and his groom’s men to get fitted and styled for that special day. Heading over to Jaxson Maximus should be every event planners first recommendation. Make an appointment with a custom stylist and choose from the finest Italian and English Fabrics. Jaxson Maximus offers several custom packages that will constantly keep you looking sharp. Choose from one of the two memberships and receive a custom clothing gift card and discounts on all hair products. Head over to the salon after getting fitted to receive a catered grooming experience. Choose from a barber or stylist and receive a consultation where they will determine what styles would be best for you based on your face structure and lifestyle. All services come with complimentary drinks such as coffee, tea, soda, water, sparkling water, coconut water, craft beers, fine scotches, and bourbons. Arrive early and treat yourself to a drink at the bar and play pool on a custom built championship pool table. There are several other services such as hand and foot grooming, teeth whitening, and waxing. Jaxson Maximus truly provides everything a man needs to look his very best. Wedding season is approaching in Miami and if you’re getting married, you must have the right wedding planner, wedding DJ, and the right tuxedo. We recommend Jaxson Maximus if you’re looking to be confident in what you’re wearing on your wedding day. The details and services they provide raise the bar on what custom fitting and men’s grooming should look like.

Browse Bar Mitzvah DJs

For DJs and event planning experts, performing at a Bar or Bat Mitzvah is a great way to offset reduced revenues (and name recognition) during Miami’s slower months of the year. Learn the ins and outs of the ceremonial requirements in order to be the best Bar/Bat Mitzvah DJ and MC.

Cue the Jew for a fun little blog about DJing for Bar and Bat Mitzvahs! So get your yarmulkes on, break out your Tallit, and prepare yourself for a Yiddish expression or two. Because oy gevalt, here we go! While DJing for Bar and Bat Mitzvahs has many similarities to other celebrations like a Sweet 16 or a Quinceañera – a Miami staple for Catholic girls on their 15th birthdays – it, too, includes unique religious symbolism and ritualistic components that must be honored. Sure my own Bar Mitzvah was more than 20 years ago. And granted I can’t read a lick of Hebrew today. But having been a proud member of “the tribe” for my entire life it was my pleasure to become Dry N Wet’s “resident advisor” (those in the know will appreciate the play on words) on this important topic. It’s an important topic for two reasons: Miamians of all races, religions, colors, creeds, and ages, love (live) to party. In case you haven’t driven through North Miami Beach, bar hopped in Brickell, or strolled along 41st Street in Miami Beach, the 305 is home to a lot of Jewish people. Is our tropical city as bagel and lox obsessed as our neighbors to the north in, say, Brooklyn or Larchmont, New York? Nope. But in a tri-county region of over 6 million people, Jews make up over 8 percent of South Florida’s population. Considering that there are only 14.5 million Jews in the world, this is an impressive statistic. Move over Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, Miami is cutting in.

When DJing a Bar or Bat Mitzvah (bar is the prefix for boys and bat is for girls) it helps to understand what the ceremony is all about. A Bar/Bat Mitzvah, which in English translates to “one who is subject to the law” is a coming-of-age ritual where a 13-year-old boy or girl is considered an adult member of the Jewish community and must immediately become an attorney at a law firm that includes the name Finkelstein. (Hint, hint, half of that sentence is false. ☺) To prove his or her worthiness of that transition, the bar/bat mitzvah (which is also used as a noun) is called to read a passage from the Torah, which roughly corresponds with his or her date of birth and extrapolate contemporary meaning from the passage and how it relates to their life. For our Christian readers and those of other faiths, the Torah is the first half of the bible, known as the Old Testament. In addition to this responsibility the bar/bat mitzvah is required to lead sections of the Friday night and Saturday morning services in prayer. Usually this service is performed in a temple and sometimes at the party venue itself. If the religious ceremony is performed at the venue, the DJ may be responsible for audio and lighting needs. For Reconstructionist, Reformed and most Conservative American Jewish families (terms that identify increasing levels of religious observance) a party follows the formal component of the event. Bar/Bat Mitzvah celebrations can range from small, intimate gatherings among friends and immediate family, or they can be all-out extravaganzas that rival the most expensive weddings. Venues alone can cost up to $2,500 at $125 per guest. Regardless, once the ceremonial part of the weekend is concluded it becomes the DJ’s responsibility to oversee additional spiritual elements. Some of those elements include: Organizing guests into a floor-wide circular dance known as the Horah. The Horah, or chair dance is an Israeli circle dance danced to the music of Hava Nagila, a traditional Jewish song. The bar/bat mitzvah and later their parents and siblings are often raised into the air on chairs while their friends and family dance in a circle around them. During the Horah additional Jewish songs may be played. Introducing a relative to perform the HaMotzi. This is the Hebrew blessing over bread, which in Jewish culture signifies the beginning of any meal. While most often said relative performs the Hebrew reading there are occasions where a DJ or MC may carry out or assist in this function, especially if the speaker is elderly or infirm. The transliterated text (a phonetic English spelling of Hebrew words and sounds) reads like this: Baruch atah, Adonai Eloheinu, Melech haolam, haMotzi lechem min haaretz. The blessing over the wine is: Baruch Atah Adonai Eloheinu Melech ha’olam borei p’ri ha’gafen. The DJ/MC may also be required to stop all party music at certain portions of the evening to redirect attention to the bar/bat mitzvah and family where a video montage is played of the child’s young life. Toasts and blessings from the parents may also occur. DJs/MCs must keep the guests quiet and attentive. Other than these early-party ceremonial moments the role of the Bar/Bat Mitzvah DJ is pretty standard. Open format DJs tend to be the most popular. However, metro Miami, with its 70 percent Hispanic population, a Latin influence is not out of the question as contemporary music includes Reggaeton, Bachata, and other Latin subgenres. Make certain the DJ you hire is well versed in playing the formats he or she advertizes.

A final idiosyncrasy of the Bar/Bat Mitzvah experience is the need for the DJ to play the role of “ringleader” throughout the night. This is not necessarily a Jewish cultural specific. It’s more likely a function of the age group being entertained. Twelve, 13 and 14-year-olds aren’t always the best at socializing or getting up onto the dance floor – especially if that dancing is co-ed. DJs/MCs must be hyper aware of their young audience, and engage them with lively, encouraging interaction. They may also be required to orchestrate dance floor games. Coke and Pepsi is the time-honored classic. Each person finds a partner and lines up across the dance floor opposite each other. One side is team Coke and the other side is team Pepsi. When the DJ says, “Coke” the Coke side runs over to the Pepsi side and sits on their partner’s knee. If the DJ says “Pepsi,” the opposite happens. If the MC says “Dr. Pepper” the kids switch sides. If the DJ says any other soft drink and a team member begins to run, their team is eliminated. The last team standing wins. For DJs and event planners alike, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs make for great party opportunities. Unlike other gatherings that have a seasonal component, these parties are year-round affairs. There is no off-season. As Miami approaches the 2019 wet season, (for statistical purposes the National Weather Service places the start date at May 15, though it could arrive as late as early June) a time of year where our tourism influx drops, and leads to a decline in restaurant and hotel occupancy rates, Bar/Bat Mitzvah celebrations are a great way to offset the seasonal difference. From Dry N Wet’s Jewish-writer-in-chief and equal opportunity deity endorser, my best advice to a Bar/Bat Mitzvah DJ is this: a recitation of the Golden Rule. Yes it comes from Christian liturgy and yes its underpinnings can be found in Matthew 7:12. But “do onto others as you would have done to you,” crosses all religious sects and denominations. Treat the bar/bat mitzvah, his/her family, and their guests with respect and select songs throughout the night that would not be considered obscene or offensive, and be at the ready to infuse the party with your positive words and energy and I guarantee you’ll be raising a glass (not Manischewitz, I promise) to a fantastic night. Just be sure that when you raise that glass, you conclude your toast with the Hebrew phrase “L’Chaim” and you’ll be welcomed as an honorary Jew for sure. Enjoyed this blog? Then stay tuned for Part II of our look into Jewish culture and how to DJ the best Bar/Bat Mitzvah ever, along with top-quality entertainers, dancers, lighting, sound, microphones, and more!

Plan Bar / Bat Mitzvah

Bar and Bat Mitzvahs are expensive affairs. Know how your entertainment offering fits into this pricey puzzle and deliver the best experience possible!

Sound the Shofar, break out the whitefish salad and gefilte fish (yuck) and brush up on your Hebrew ‘ch’ sounds. And, yes, even more Yiddish! That’s because Dry N Wet’s resident Jew is back for Part II of our two-part look at Jewish culture and Miami Bar and Bat Mitzvahs. Considering that Jewish Heritage Day is today, May 19, gearing up for its 16th annual South Florida celebration, it’s fitting that this blog kicks off this special week. Last week we discussed the cultural underpinnings of a traditional Bar/Bat Mitzvah. This week we’ll examine the celebratory scene up close and review event planning budget and equipment needs. As noted in the previous piece, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs can be megalithic affairs, on par with the biggest Miami/Miami Beach weddings. Or they can be smaller, more intimate gatherings held in the backyard of a family member’s house under illuminated tents. Some Bar Mitzvahs have fewer than 25 guests. Others top 300 and can feel like a who’s who of Miami’s most influential movers and shakers, a veritable Jewtopia. With a range this expansive, it can be hard to nail down costs or come up with average prices. Don’t crucify yourself! (See what I did there?) There is at least some consensus on what those prices will look like.
