Lisa Kahn Events was honored to be with Joshua Friedman as he became a Bar Mitvzah, celebrating with his close family and friends. The beautiful service was orchestrated at Congregation Or Ami in Calabasas. Cantor Doug Colter and Rabbi Julie Weisz lead an inspiring and musical service as Joshua read his Torah portion with ease and humor.
After ceremony, it was time to celebrate at Wolfgang Puck’s Annex at Hollywood & Highland which is one of my favorite locations!
Lights, Camera, Action – in all the fame and attention that a Leading Man would receive, Joshua arrived in a true A-lister greeted with his own personalized Step & Repeat.
My team at Lisa Kahn Events spared no creative expense when designing Joshua’s celebration. Form a custom logo, to high-end LED tables and centerpieces and white, sleek lounge furniture we created “Club Joshua” pulling inspiration from the Annex’s modern loft look and the locations Hollywood feel.
One of my favorite details was the steel plated table number that was created by Speedpro imaging. It gave the tables that perfect edgy feel.
Then with DJ Danno on the turn tables, the music was flowing and kept the crowds on their feet. Even I couldn’t resist dancing!
But it was the headlining act that brought down the house and moved me to tears. Joshua took center stage and serenaded his guests with Blackbird from the Beatles making the evening even more special. Yes, I cried.
This night was definitely a true “Hollywood” event with Joshua as the star!
