One of the most important decisions you have to make during the party planning process for a Sweet 16 is where you'll host it. When it comes to selecting a venue, it's not only important to choose one that fits your budget, but it's also essential that you pick one that reflects your style and personality. Here at Zacharys, we are able to do just that!

So, are you interested in a party that includes tons of dancing? If you are, we've got exactly what you need - just try our Sweet 16 Night Club Dance Party and see for yourself! Our atmosphere is geared towards the chic honoree who is seeking an edgy, grown up look for her party. Since most teens and young adults have probably not been to a night club (and are probably anxious to try one), our venue provides the opportunity to experience what one has to offer while keeping it age appropriate for the honoree and her guests!

When it comes to entertainment, we recognize how expensive it can be to rent equipment to enhance your party. That's why we've designed our venue to include state of the art sound, lighting and video equipment that you can use throughout the night. Additionally, all of our Sweet 16s include a DJ and a security team for no extra fee! At Zacharys, all entertainment aspects are part of an all inclusive package that was created with our customers in mind.

How to Throw a Hockey Themed Bar Mitzvah

In honor of the New York Rangers battling for the Stanley Cup, it's time to discuss a hockey themed party! And not just any party; how about a hockey themed party for one of the biggest milestones in a young man's life? As is tradition in the Jewish culture, when a boy approaches or turns the age of 13, a Bar Mitzvah is had to celebrate his coming of age. Typically, the after party incorporates a specific theme, and many times, a sports theme proves to be popular. So let's get specific; see below for a list of tips that you can use to get started on a hockey themed Bar Mitzvah:

Menu:
When you plan your menu, try to incorporate some stadium food favorites. For example, consider offering nachos and cheese for an appetizer, hotdogs, hamburgers, chicken fingers and fries for your main course, and then move on to popular stadium desserts such as ice cream, pretzels and candy! 

Decorations:
As you choose your decorations, remember to keep everything hockey in mind; this means equipment, colors, players and teams! Start by decorating the walls with cardboard hockey pucks and sticks, and then move on to tangible decorations your guests can enjoy. For example, you might want to include a cardboard cutout of a hockey player that guests can take pictures with, or you might consider renting hockey nets to place at the venue's entrance.

Entertainment:
When it comes to entertainment, keep in mind that hockey is often viewed as a rough sport, so make sure your activities are suitable and safe for guests. Room permitting, consider a station where guests take shots on goal (with a soft puck, of course) or dedicate an area where guests can dress up as their favorite hockey player and pose for pictures. Don't forget to include your favorite teams' celebratory goal song into your playlist - if they have one that is!

Favors:
Last but not least, make sure to tailor your favors towards your theme. If you're looking to get super creative and have the time, think about handing out jersey style T-shirts (reflecting your favorite team) with your guests' last name on the back. For their number, include the date of your Bar Mitzvah!

Are you in the middle of planning a Bar Mitzvah? Choose Zacharys to host it! You can find everything you need to celebrate in either of our two catering facilities. Our party planners will work with you to coordinate each detail of your event and will help you create a menu that works for guests of all ages.

When it comes to planning a wedding, one of the most difficult decisions you have to make is choosing a date and season. For many couples, summer is the most desired season due to the nice weather and ability to host ceremonies or parties outdoors. But how do you plan for one? Check out these trends and tips to help you plan the perfect summer wedding:

1. Choose Bright Colors: Bright, bold colors are always a great choice for a summer wedding. But don't go too crazy, pick only two or three hues and stick with them.

2. Florals: In addition to solid colors, floral print is great to use for your invitations or decorations. This can help give off an elegant vibe and is a great way to offset any solid patterns you have.

3. Soft Music: Keep the air light by including soft, laid back music in your reception. Especially during your cocktail hour, keep guests cool, calm and collected with soft background music created through the use of a piano or string instrument.

4. Wine Smoothies/Frozen Drinks: Since you run the risk of getting married on a hot day, make sure to incorporate some kind of frozen treat into your drink menu; giving guests something cool to sip on is sure to be a hit.

5. Outdoor Weddings: Though indoor weddings can be beautiful, outdoor weddings are a great way to celebrate summer and your wedding all at once. Dare to dip your toes in the sand with a beach wedding? Great weather provides great opportunities.

Once you've picked a date and ironed out your guest list, it's time to pick a venue for your reception! Choose Zacharys Catering! Throughout any season, Zacharys is ready to cater your special day. Your guests will enjoy chic appetizers, towering culinary displays and signature cocktails in addition to beautifully handcrafted desserts and your wedding cake!

If you're looking to plan a get together with family and friends, bring a little bit of the Old West into your night with this kind of theme party.
