Bat Mitzvah Review

We used Kevin for our daughters Bat Mitzvah, and could not be happier with the our choice.  From the first conversation, Kevin was actively involved, open with advice, and committed to making the day beyond comparison.  The on-line tools allowed us to preselect songs.  The form allowed us to choreograph and script various parts of the celebration.  The lights, games, bubbles, and prizes made it a wholly enjoyable day for adults and children.  From a parents perspective, having someone to lead the planning of events was invaluable!  It allowed me to focus on everything else during the days before, and the day of the event.  From the perspective of my daughter (the only one that really matters), it was PHENOMENAL.  Of all the Bar and Bat Mitzvah’s she has attended, she felt this was the best DJ experience by far.  She walked away from a special day feeling like the experience was greatly enhanced by Kevin and his team, and feeling like there was nothing that could have been done to make it more special.  Above and beyond simply recommending him to others, I am already decided on using him for my sons Bar Mitzvah in a few years.
Thank you!

Bar Mitzvah Review

Wow!!
Talk about kick butt parties! I have to say you guys did a fantastic!!! job...the room looked great with all of your lighting and special effects...the sound system was outrageous and the dancers were especially fun (Chad was a great addition) and of course  DJ Kevin was flawless.  Our guests are raving about the whole package...Thank you soooooo much for putting in so much effort. We would never plan a Kevin ColangeloLESS party!
It has been a pleasure working with you Kevin, we'll be in touch!

Bar Mitzvah Review
Hi Kevin:
From the service, to the party, we could not have asked for a better Bat Mitzvah celebration. Robyn and I have been involved in running a lot of events over the years and we always aim at hiring the best people who compliment each other. We are very thankful to the Carr's who recommended you as you are clearly one of those people. The caterer (Franklin Plaza) who has been in business for years and a very high profile caterer in our area commented that they have never seen a light show like yours. Your setup also looked great with all the equipment on stage.
Jessica was thrilled!
We never compare ourselves to others but some of our friends commented that our party will be hard to compare.
Thanks again and we hope to see you in the future.
Ed and Robyn Marinstein

Bat Mitzvah Review

I don't have too much time to write now, but wanted to send you a few  words and thoughts regarding my experience with Kevin Colangelo this  weekend during my daughter's bat mitzvah.  I haven't even had a  chance to speak to him yet to debrief and thank him.  So I hope you  don't mind that I am copying him on this email.

First, Kevin Colangelo is a professional through and through. The depth of character and experience that he brings to the occasion are  beyond compare. What is even more surprising given that he has been doing this so many years, is that he made me feel like I was the only bat mitzvah he had ever done. 

He listened to me, he was thoughtful  and compassionate and worked so very hard to create a meaningful  experience for me and my family from the very beginning. 

For such a  busy person he was very dependable and reliable with his follow up  calls. 

It was not necessary to baby sit him and constantly check up 
to see how things were progressing. He promised a top grade product  and he delivered that and more.
I felt privileged to have him be our  DJ and master of ceremonies.

I  feel grateful for the thought and effort he brought to the occasion.  
I didn't have to worry about even the smallest detail - he thought of  everything. 

He was careful and surveyed the site prior to the event  even though he has worked there on many occasions.  He did not take  even the smallest risk of spoiling our event.
We worked and planned this occasion for two years. 

I only needed a  few phone calls with Kevin for arrangements because he was so  knowledgeable and efficient.  His attention to every detail both  technical and emotional allowed me to be free of any concerns  regarding his end of the deal and responsibilities. 

He delivered a  first rate experience and all the guests commented on how well the  kids behaved.  That was due in large part to Kevin's brilliant  orchestration and thoughtfulness regarding their interests and needs. 

We had over 100 kids - same number of adults so I think his  achievement is even more impressive.
He even went so far as to be so thoughtful and sensitive to my very  close friend's child who has social difficulties. 

I asked Kevin if  he could allow this child to observe the technical aspects of the  event. 

Kevin was receptive to my request and went well beyond the  call of duty. This child (age 11) had the time of his life and his parents and grandparents glowed the entire time - not only did his act of kindness change one life but the after effects will live on as evidenced by the pictures that his mother so proudly sent to me today.
My friend whose daughter had a bat mitzvah several years ago summed  it up best, she said, if she had had ten children she would have worked with Kevin Colangelo ten times.
I am a clinical psychologist by training and I can not emphasize how intuitive and sensitive Kevin was to our emotional needs regarding  this event.
Sincerely, 

Lesley Teitelbaum

Dear Kevin:
Just want to thank you once again for doing such a G R E A T job a t my daughter Jaydes' Bat Mitzvah.
You know me, I like things out of the ordinary.  That is why I like working with you.
I tell you exactly what I want and you work with me to get it perfect...and perfect it was!! 
You are all great.  From your dancers all the way to your "roadies",  whom you were so kind to send outside to help my cousin into the party.  He has MS and his wheelchair was stuck in his van.  You overheard this and sent your helpers right out to bring him in.  We all appreciated that!
The folks at The Oak's Retirement home, where I am Activities Director also appreciated it when you volunteered your time to play some music from their era for them.  You even played some of their Jewish music requests for them.

No matter what kind of party I am having, I want you there.  You make my life easier and fun for everyone to enjoy.
Thanks, Kevin.
