The Venue
Guess what? We only book one event at a time so our entire Crystal Plaza venue is exclusively your family’s on the day of the bar or bat mitzvah celebration. There are so many amazing locations in and around the restored historic mansion to accommodate the different aspects of the bar or bat mitzvah. Check out the following highlights:
Kids and Adults Cocktail Hours: Let’s face it, your newly minted teen would rather hang with his or her friends. We’ve found that separate cocktail hours for kids and adults ensure good times for all. The kids are typically set up in the upstairs Atrium with delicious food bites and “mocktails” with a soft drink bar and tons of games or things like a photo booth to keep them entertained. Adult cocktail hours are usually a bit more dolled up with ice sculptures, live entertainment and a plethora of passed hors d’oeuvres and food and cocktail stations. Of course, both areas keep with the chosen theme for the evening.
Themed Events: Let your imagination run wild. Does the girl or boy of honor like sports, music, animals, pop stars or video games? From “End of the World” and “Monster Mayhem” to “Enchanted Garden” and “Cirque du Soleil” themes, Crystal Plaza Group produces the coolest productions along with our team of preferred vendors. The most popular area for a bar or bat mitzvah main event is our Grand Ballroom, of course, where you can deck out the scene that includes a Juliet balcony, twinkling crystal chandeliers and large wooden dance floor.

Catering Menus
Our food will knock your guests’ socks off. As a luxury bar and bat mitzvah caterer, Crystal Plaza Group’s menus offer a huge selection of party fare for the cocktail hours and main event. That said, you’re not limited to our menus. If there’s anything in particular you or your son or daughter would like, just let us know. Plus, we have separate non-kosher and glatt kosher kitchens that are held to the highest of standards and are rabbi-supervised. Another unique treat: At the end of the evening, we can break out “ending stations” and take-home favors for some additional delights.

Event Vendors
Selecting the perfect event vendors for your bar or bat mitzvah can be really time-consuming. Over the last 100 years, we have worked with the best (and the worst) in the industry. To make the search easier on you, we’ve handpicked a selection of preferred vendors that we think are stellar.

We offer quality off-premises catering and event production through CPNY, our off-premise division, at any location of your choice in the tri-state area, including at our preferred venue partners in New York, New Jersey and beyond.
