This past weekend, we had the honor of celebrating Bradley’s bar mitzvah at the iconic Asbury Lanes in Asbury Park, NJ, and what a party it was! From start to finish, the event was full of energy, excitement, and unforgettable moments.

 

 

Months of planning and coordination went into the build out of this extremely unique celebration.  This was the second time the Fine family worked with Xplosive Entertainment.  Several years back, we helped Brad’s sister celebrate her coming of age at another especially unique venue.  These two celebrations were epically different from one another yet both so incredible in their own stand out ways.

 

 

The decor, thanks to the incredible Farrah from 360 Creative Approach, transformed this already vibrant and dynamic Asbury Lanes into an upscale rock concert inspired setting creating the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable celebration. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, from centerpieces to a guitar sign in board making Bradley’s big day so personalized.

 

 

 

At Xplosive Entertainment, we love bringing unique experiences to events, and Bradley’s bar mitzvah was no exception. In addition to our signature entertainment package, which included seasoned DJ, Michael T and the high-energy MC, Mike P, we also had three of our talented dancers keeping the crowd moving all night long. The energy on the dance floor was electric from start to finish!

 

 

But the fun didn’t stop there! We brought some extra excitement to the party with two interactive stations. Guests had a blast creating their own custom hats at our Lids heat press station, personalizing their party favors in real-time. For all the sports fans, we hosted a fast-paced and fun sports trivia game show, which got everyone involved in some friendly competition. There was a spectacular photo booth collaboration between 360 Creative providing the two wall backdrop and Xplosive providing the photo booth kiosk.  And one cannot forget, Asbury Lanes earned its name as a bowling alley still offering six lanes of pins for players to knock down.

 

 

 

 

 

One of the night’s most memorable highlights came from Bradley himself.  Grand Entrances took place as expected with the parents first running into the space as their names were called.  Then sister, Grace, came into the room escorted by one of Xplosive’s dancers.  But when it was time for Brad, MC Mike P drew all attention to the stage which was covered by a white screen.   As soon as he called Brad’s name, a silhouette of Brad playing the guitar shinned though.  The screen retracted into the ceiling and his band kicked off the party playing Narcos, setting the tone for the night. As with any rock star, a celebratory crowd surf followed with Brad flying over his guests leading into the first dance set.  Later, Brad returned for an encore performance, closing out the first dance set in style but this time with his mom and sister as back up singers to a rock version of Twist and Shout. Bradley’s musical talent truly shined, and it was amazing to see him share that moment with all of his family and friends.

 

 

 

From the incredible decor to the interactive entertainment, the spectacular venue, and of course, the non-stop dancing, Bradley’s bar mitzvah was a night to remember. It was an absolute pleasure working with such a wonderful family, and we’re so grateful to have been part of this special celebration.

 

Mazel Tov again, Bradley! We wish you all the best in your next exciting chapter.
