When your mitzvah client loves nothing more than traveling and exploring new places, it’s first class all the way. Debbie Hart wanted guests to feel as if they were stepping straight into an airport terminal the moment they arrived. Along the hallway, a detailed terminal map pointed the way, while an oversized light-up board displayed each guests name along with their “destination” and gate number. Real clocks showcased the time zones of the guest of honor’s favorite countries and cities. Personal touches were everywhere-posters featuring the mitzvah boy’s favorite spots were customized with his image, and authentic airport seating allowed guests to relax as they awaited the “New York departure”. Even suitcases were on hand at the luggage area, each tagged by destination to complete the immersive experience. At 8:30 pm, an announcement called for everyone to board. Costumed flight attendants collected boarding passes before ushering guests through the gate onto the next phase of the celebration. Inside the ballroom, the adventure continued. Adults discovered tables surrounded by oversized white floral rings and globes, evoking the feeling of dining among the clouds. Each guest received a passport menu and a personalized luggage tag, while a color palette of blues, whites, and hints of yellow set a sky-high ambiance. A large video wall played logos and graphics that seamlessly tied into the travel theme. The fun extended to a well-stocked souvenir shop, and roaming flight attendants offered treats reminiscent of a long-haul flight. For the grand entrance, the “GOAT”(Greatest of All Travelers), made a supersized arrival on a luggage cart accompanied by the entire flight crew. With formalities complete, it was time to let loose while ”turbulence” rocked the house as the party took flight. Kids enjoyed a host of extra entertainment, from giant VR orbs and an immersive themed photo booth to the Cyclopes Orbotron. As the atmosphere climbed higher, giant LED robots surprised everyone with CO2 cannons, adding to the excitement. When the night drew to a close, guests were welcomed to stop in at the “News Stand” to grab an array of goodies before the perfect landing. It was truly a world-class event that sent everyone on an unforgettable journey.
