Here is a note from our family !!
We wanted to take a moment to thank you and your team for making Nidhi’s Sweet 16 celebration so special. It was a memorable event for our family and friends, and we truly appreciate the effort and care that went into it.
Lisa – Our Go-To Person
Lisa was fantastic to work with throughout the planning process. She patiently answered all our questions and helped us feel comfortable, even though this was our first time hosting a party at such a venue. Her responsiveness and thorough explanations made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable.
Sam – A Manager Who Goes the Extra Mile
Sam was such a positive presence during the event. From our initial visit to the big day, he was always approachable and ensured everything ran as planned. His attention to detail and willingness to listen to our requests made a huge difference. He consistently prioritized our requests and ensured his staff executed everything perfectly
The DJ – The Life of the Party
The DJ was incredible, helping us plan the music ahead of time and keeping the energy up throughout the night. Once the party began, he transformed into a dynamic MC with his announcements and interaction with the guests added a lively touch to the evening, and kept the event flowing smoothly.
The Photographer – Capturing the Best Moments
The photographer was excellent, ensuring we got all the important family pictures before the event and capturing every key moment during the party. He was always smiling and pleasant. Thanks to him,
Overall, your team worked together seamlessly to make the event a success. We are so grateful for everything you did to help us celebrate this milestone in such a special way. You made us feel like this was as important to you as it was to us, and for that, we are incredibly grateful.
Thank you once again, and we’ll definitely be recommending your venue to others! I will also post a positive review on your Facebook and other social media sites.
Thanks

Nidhi’s Sweet 16
Lisa,
I’m still floating from our incredible party last night. We were blown away by every detail. The food was delicious, the room was beautiful, the music was awesome. The staff was amazing, the DJ the dancers, the servers, the Photo Booth attendant, bartender, and especially our MC – they made the night magical. Their energy kept the mood high from start to finish. Sam made it seamless and it flowed perfectly. We felt so taken care of. And the way everything was packed up so beautifully for us at the end of the night – truly every part of this experience was awesome. Please share our thanks with the crew.
Please let me know if there’s somewhere you’d like me to share a review. We’re so happy and very grateful.

Hi Lisa
Wanted to send a note to you and your amazing crew. Everything was terrific. Paige had the best time, the space was used so well. The entire staff were so attentive to every detail asked for. Devin and the dancers made the crowd feel so Involved. Funny thing, he actually MCd my neices party at your Paramus location 5 years ago! I had rave reviews about the food. Unfortunately I didn’t get to eat much.
Please let Sam know we thank him and appreciated all his help at the party. Went way too fast!

Hi Lisa!
Just wanted to say it was amazing working with all of you — we couldn’t have wished for a better day. And thank you so much for recommending the slate blue table cloths — they were perfect! The room looked beautiful, I absolutely loved the aesthetic. The food was great, too, and we’ve been enjoying our leftovers this week. Everyone involved was so helpful and kind and attentive. We can’t thank you enough!

Hi Lisa,
Just wanted to send you a thank you to let you know how amazing everything was last weekend for Dani’s bat mitzvah. Everything exceeded our expectations – and Dani had the night of her life! Devon and the dancers kept the kids engaged the entire time, to the point that the adults commented how impressed they were that none of the kids were on their phones – they were all up and dancing! And the food was delicious! I am still getting comments from guests saying how much they loved the food.
Thank you so much for all of your attention to details, to answering our questions along the way, and helping to make this a night that Dani will never forget! I can’t stop raving to everyone just how wonderful the night was!!
Thank you so much for everything!

Hi Lisa,
I just wanted to send a quick note to let you know how absolutely amazing everything was on Saturday. The decor, food, games, music and staff were fabulous! I received so many compliments from my guests throughout the day on how great all of the staff was and how great the food was. Matthew is a pretty low key quiet kid and was radiating the whole day which made my mom heart so happy. Please send my extra thank yous to everyone that participated in the day(especially my new BFF, who was the MC).
We will definitely be back in touch in a couple of years to start planning Matthew’s younger brother’s day.
Take care!

Lisa,
The night was fantastic! Rave reviews from everyone – including someone at the hotel, who my father did not know, saying “that was the BEST bat mitzvah I’ve ever gone to!”
Thank you for another night not forgotten. You always go above and beyond – including making sure my 87 yr old uncle, with a strict diet, had something to eat as did my niece with a severe gluten allergy. You and Sam are the best! Now that both kids have had their Mitzvahs, I will miss chatting with you 🙂
Thank you again.

Good Morning Lisa,
We are very happy and pleased of how our daughter’s Sweet 16 Event came out. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left. It was flawless, our daughter was very happy and enjoyed every second till the end. Thank you and all the personnel that made her day special, her smile was just priceless. Everyone enjoyed every bit of it. The Robot was a hit, and my older girl who we celebrated her 16th there too said she wished she had it done too. Again Thank you.

I do NOT know where to start! Last night was complete perfection! We had the absolute BEST night! Working with you was so wonderful and I never doubted for a minute that we would have the perfect Bat Mitzvah for Tori! But when we walked in last night and saw Vegas all set up with our logo and swag and all our family and friends there it was better than we could have imagined! Tori had the best night with her friends! Smitty was amazing as were Fran, Gavin and Kara. Our guest raved about the food, the decor , the party and everything in between! Thank you so much for making Tori’s Bat Mitzvah a night we will never forget!

I can’t thank you and the team enough for your patience, support and guidance during the planning process. All the details were so well executed, and Sam and the on-site team rocked the night! The food was plentiful and delicious and the warm chocolate chip cookies were off the charts!!!
We are OBSESSED with MC Devin! And we LOVED the incredible dance crew that kept everyone hyped and didn’t stop all night!
It was worth all the time, sweat, stress and dollars when my son said, “it was way better than I expected”. 😂🙌🏻🎉
Everyone commented on how genuinely happy he looked and how much fun he was having! He truly embraced being the man of the hour and that’s all because of your amazing team. Thank you for making him feel so special and helping us throw an unforgettable night!!!

The gaming and candy tables were amazing, and all of the staff were all courteous. Special shout out to MC Devon and dancers Franchesca and Eugene for keeping the energy high all party long.

Thank you thank you thank you for all your help planning, for being so patient, responsive and accommodating. We are so grateful to you and the entire team. Please pass along our sincere gratitude to Sam who was there for the ENTIRE event and made sure the evening was perfect in every way, including having someone do a Vodka run for us! Unheard of!

Simon’s Bar Mitzvah
Dear Lisa,
I’ve been wanting to write to you since Saturday night but I have been inundated with calls and texts from all of our guests telling us what an amazing time they had at Jolie’s Bat Mitzvah!
Everything — from the food to the music to the games to the photo booth and candy bar was such a huge hit!! Some of the specific foods people keep raving about are: the steak and the entire “chipotle” bar, the waffle fries, the chicken tenders, the pasta, the meatballs, the funnel cake, and, of course, the chocolate chip cookies! The pretzels and hot chocolate to go was also very, very much loved!!
The entire staff was absolutely amazing. Sam made us feel like we were the most important people; his vast experience is obvious and he really knows what it takes to make a great party. Smitty is pure magic. He has such a gift in being able to connect to every single person — kids, teens and adults. His energy seems limitless and he truly was the life of the party. While he may think of himself as “just regular”, he is certainly far from that!! The DJ and the dancers were also amazing – their instincts for what was needed to keep the party going throughout the night were on point flawlessly.
The card games, photo booth, bars and all the food stations and roaming servers were run seamlessly. Everyone was professional, pleasant and knowledgeable. Frank, at the front, made me feel at ease from the moment we walked in until we left for the night. He was so calm, kind and patient and he took care of so many things. I was blown away when he loaded our car before we left — and even sent us home with some delicious leftovers — very much appreciated when I was way too tired to cook yesterday!
What I also noticed was how well everyone worked together as a team. There truly seemed to be a sense of camaraderie — like a family — amongst everyone at Vegas. I even thought this extended to our outside vendors — our photographer and videographer — and I truly appreciated how well everyone really seemed to want to put together the best party possible!
Jolie could not have been happier with every aspect of the party — and our entire family feels that way.
I am attaching a few pictures from the night that capture our joy. Thank you so much for all the time you spent in putting it all together for us. We were so happy and we loved every minute!!
Thank you!!

We can’t say thank you enough for how wonderful our Bat Mitzvah celebration was on Saturday!! Every detail was perfect – the centerpieces were exactly what Sophie wanted, the food was amazing (the Bang Bang Shrimp! Those carrots! The cookies!), and the staff was incredibly accommodating with any food allergies or special requests. The emcee (Smitty? Sorry names are not our strong point) was unreal – we had a tough crowd and he got the Horah organized and people dancing (and laughing). From what we saw our photos by Anthony were amazing! (how long until we should get the pics?)
We had nothing but compliments from our guests, and most importantly the guest of honor! She was so happy about the blowy guys and the smoke cannon. Thank you for going with the flow of the ever changing COVID situation and tables changes! The photobooth attendant was on top of everything and made that seamless. I know the younger kids were planning their future parties at Vegas! Any concerns we had as first time party planners were immediately put to ease and we cannot thank you or recommend you enough!

First I want to say thank you so much for a fabulous event despite the snowstorm on Saturday. Everyone who was able to make it had a blast. The food was spectacular (and we are not so easy to please in that department) and your entire staff was just extraordinary! So thank you for that!
Smitty really kept the kids engaged and busy the entire time. All the kids had the party of their lifetimes, most especially Sam. I cannot believe it went off and you had a full staff there that day! Just amazing!!
Thanks so much for all your help in making the day happen for our son. It was so special.

Dear Lisa,
I wanted to send you a note thanking you and the entire staff for another amazing event. Seeing the smile on our son’s face and the faces of all of our guests reminded us once again why Vegas NJ is the “go to” place for a customizable and unique bar mitzvah party. We love the fact that we could do anything from a traditional event to something a little different (“Candylicious drink bar” and all) for kids that have grown bored of the same old party. We are so glad we chose to have our third event at Vegas NJ and just wanted to thank you again for the hard work and professionalism of Sam, Melanie, you and the entire staff. It was clearly reflected in the many compliments we got from our guests that night and since.
All the best,

We just wanted to thank all of you for a terrific event. Faith had a great time and enjoyed every minute. Despite the stress of some last minute cancellations, everyone who she wanted to be there was and she was so happy with how everything turned out. All our guests enjoyed themselves as well. Sam and everyone involved did an exceptional job of keeping things running smoothly and catering to Faith and her friends. Sheri the bartender is a sweetheart and did a great job keeping our glasses full, maybe too good a job on mine LOL! Thanks again for helping make Faith’s sweet 16 a special one.

I could have waited until after our event to write, but I really wanted to let you know as soon as possible that Lisa has been such a pleasure to work with so far. Originally our party was supposed to be Dec 5, 2020, but with the pandemic, we moved it to June 19, 2021. Despite the stress of this move along with the stress of planning during this crazy time, Lisa was incredibly accommodating. Any time I have needed a question answered, whether it be via phone or email, Lisa is quick to answer with a helpful response. Planning a Bat Mitzvah during a pandemic is challenging to say the least, but because we are working with Lisa, it has been much easier than anticipated. I cant even imagine the stress you all have endured over the past year, but please know that because of Lisa’s expertise and professionalism, people will keep coming back to your venue to book their parties moving forward. You are professionals! If you would like a testimonial for your website, I would be happy to write one for you all. It is obvious that you and Lisa care about your work and your relationships with your clients and this kind of service is hard to find. We appreciate all of the help we are getting from you all during this stressful time- and we know that our party will be one to remember forever!
Best regards,
Jody Paul
Thank you Lisa!!

Thank you so so much for making our special day absolutely perfect. We loved every second and we are still on cloud 9! Owen could not believe how our backyard was transformed. I just wrote a review on your Facebook page, but feel free to use it wherever! I’m also happy to be a reference if you ever need one. I am forever grateful. Here is the review:
I can’t say enough about Vegas. Ever since March, it was clear that our son’s special day would not look the way we had planned. That being said, all throughout, Lisa worked with us, changed course several times, and in the end gave us the most amazing day for our son’s bar mitzvah celebration —in our backyard! It exceeded every expectation and was better than we could have imagined. Every detail was perfect, the food was incredible (our guests raved!!), the decorations were classy and fun, the staff was wonderful, the music made the ambiance in our backyard, and working with Lisa and her team was just a pure pleasure. While this is our last Mitzvah, I would absolutely work with the team at Vegas for any of life’s celebrations again. I could not recommend them higher, and in today’s crazy times, I would highly recommend a backyard celebration because they can make it look and feel perfect for any celebration. Thank you Lisa, and thank you for putting up with my changing every decision each day!!! xo

Hi Lisa,
I just wanted to send a note to thank you and the entire Vegas team. We had a phenomenal day from start to finish. You were so responsive to all of my questions it really put me at easy that everything would be perfect on the actual day.
We were so happy with everything! The room for the service was set up beautifully. It felt intimate and very much like a worship space. When it was over our guest walked right into a happy, joyful, party atmosphere. Smitty was amazing with the kids and adults. He kept the kids engaged and used his good sense of humor to keep the adults laughing. Watching the montage on the massive screen was pretty awesome! My daughter is very literal so when I asked her if she had been to the photobooth yet- she told me “there was no photo booth just a little room with a woman and a camera.” When I walked over I found what she said to be true and when I looked at the pictures that were being printed– they were 1000 times better then any photo booth pictures I have ever seen. And the woman taking the pictures made sure that the pictures she took were good ones. That format was a really nice surprise. I was also pleasantyly surpised that Smitty handed out some hats, sunglasses, light up bracelet and glow stick necklaces. Sam had mentioned that we should not purchase that kind of stuff and we should do some t-shits and gift card- so that is what we did. I was feeling a little badly that we were not giving out any of the other typical party dj give away and then Smitty gave out just the perfect amount. It was another nice surprise. The food was delicious including the ice cream. At the end of the day the all of left over stuff was quickly packed up so it was easy to finish out the party and be on our way. I know that staff was rushing around resting the room for the next party but we did not feel rushed or pressured to leave. We were able to say our last goodbyes to our guest and then head home.
Please pass along my sincere appreciation to Sam and the entire team. Sam was great. He made the entire experience so easy. I asked for his recommendations and all of them were spot on. From the first time we met to review food and linen choices, to the Thursday before when we dropped off all of our stuff everything was so smooth and easy. I was able to be completely relax the entire day of the celebration. And most importantly, my kids had the most perfect day! They were so happy and relaxed. They were happy that their friends were totally engaged and that everyone had a great time!
Thank you again!

It was everything we had hoped for and absolutely was the vision we had for the night. Devin, the dancers and the DJ really brought it, giving such energy to the party, really making it a night to remember.

Hi Lisa,
The party was great. All our guests really seemed to have a good time. I was told the food was great as well. I didn’t have much of a chance to eat, but it looked good. Everyone who worked there was super and the music was perfect. The girl at the photo booth had said that I’d be getting a USB with the photos taken? Is that true? I would definitely recommend having a party there to anyone. In fact my 13 and 14.5 year old girls both said they wanted Sweet 16s there. If they can sucker their father into that, I may be calling you in a few months.
Thank you for your help in putting it all together.

Hello Lisa,
Hope you had a relaxing weekend. Just wanted to reach out to tell you that we had a fun time at Vegas on Saturday night celebrating Marcella’s 30th birthday. Everyone loved the venue and was pleasantly surprised at the decor when they came in. It was an unexpected type of venue considering the location it is in. The staff was pleasant, the dj fun and Sam was Sam (haha). Please do thank him again. The table set up was perfect for the murder mystery and all my guests had a good evening. The big screen was loved by all for it bought back memories for many. We had some little ones and they all enjoyed the stage area….definitely kept them busy dancing. I am happy I came across this place and will surely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a party place in this area.
Look forward to another event in the future!

I would like to say THANK YOU very much for everything. Yesterday would not have been a dream come true for my daughter had it not been for your AMAZING staff and all of your assistance. From the beginning to end your staff made sure everything was taken care of and I must say I am not used to that because I am the one usually doing everything at all my events so this made it so much easier for me to actually enjoy this special occasion. I am extremely pleased with the way everything turned out. My family and guests continue to send me messages expressing how pleased they were with the party and your venue.

Dear Lisa, Sam and Staff at Vegas NJ,
You did it again? For the second time you hit it out of the park. Our daughter’s Bat Mitzvah celebration was magical. Vegas NJ was once again the perfect venue for a truly spectacular party.
Lisa was always available, whether it be by phone or email and was always so accommodating. She is simply one of the sweetest people we’ve now gotten to work with twice! She truly cares about making the party fun, unique and loves to make our vision a reality.
The food at Vegas is wonderful and the donut wall we had for our daughter was a huge hit with kids and adults.
The entertainment from the Emcee to the dancers are perfection. They are the best motivators and they are incredibly gracious. Their energy is infectious. Every person was up dancing!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

I cant begin to tell you how absolutely AMAZING Saturday night was. It was truly a dream come true for my daughter. I cant thank you and everyone at Vegas NJ enough for making my daughter’s dream a reality.
From the moment we walked in and took in the breathtakingly beautiful room to the moment we walked out, it could not have been more PERFECT.
Sam’s attention to detail, Gato making sure everyone was happy, the DJ taking every queue, the security making sure everyone was safe, even down to the waitress that made sure to tell me to eat something was anything short of perfection.
And OMG Smitty!!!! I can’t begin to tell you what an incredible person he is. Just his mere presence makes you wanna smile. He truly made this party what it was. We still have people texting us about what a great party it was, and how absolutely incredible he was.
I cant thank you enough Lisa for ALL your help in making this such a successful party.

Andy and I have nothing but AMAZING things to say about Ryan’s Bar Mitzvah yesterday. The food and service were beyond reproach. The MC and dancers interacted with our guests and the dancing was non stop. The room looked FANTASTIC. And the upgraded photo booth a huge hit. You guys were fabulous to work with and made the event a joy to plan. We will be definitely planning the next event with you!

Hi Lisa!
Amanda’s party was true perfection last night! She and her friends had a blast… and the six adults that attended had a wonderful time watching everything happen as well as got a little dancing in ourselves. thanks so much! One of her best friends is hoping to attend the next open house at Vegas and also, if possible, the East Hanover club. Her birthday is in a year. We can’t wait to receive the pics Brian of Zap took. They truly looked amazing. We are so very, very glad we added that service. It added another dimension to the party fun!
Have a terrific weekend !

Hi Lisa
Gabby’s party was amazing! Can’t say enough good things about the venue and staff. The kids seemed to have so much fun and didn’t want it to end! The kids were up the whole time. Steve was an amazing DJ. I’m so glad we added the photographer and Step and Repeat. He did such a great job and having the pics on the screen was awesome! It seemed like we had a well behaved crowd but we were so grateful for a security person there. He too was great and as parents it put our minds at ease. And of course the serving staff was wonderful too.
I can’t thank you and Sam enough. Everything exceeded our expectations.
We may be calling in a few years if our little one wants a party.
Thank you again for your guidance and fielding all of my questions along the way.
All the best-
Updated after photos received:
Wow!
Gabby LOVED the pics. The photographer was so much fun at the party too. I am so glad we added that option to our party. (As well as the step and repeat. It was a huge hit!)

First and foremost THANK YOU for everything you did for the party!
It was a great event (at least from what I’ve been told lol). I think it was the most out of body experience I’ve ever had (even moreso than my wedding) so I don’t feel like I was even there! The 5 pieces of a sushi roll and one sugar cookie I ate were great but I did hear the food was delicious : )
The MC and dancers also got rave reviews for keeping everyone up and dancing!

Good Morning,
I just wanted to reach out and let you know that we all had an amazing time at prom on Friday. The venue, staff, music, MC, and food were all fantastic!! The kids loved it! I also wanted to relay our gratitude to Sam and your staff for being so understanding when we found out our buses were running 30 minutes late! We felt terrible that your staff had to stay the extra half hour, but despite that they still remained courteous and allowed our kids to keep dancing and having fun!
I am contacting the bus company to see if we can get any money returned to us for the 30 minute delay they caused. If we can get any money back from them we will forward to you to use as more of a tip for the staff that was at prom on Friday. I’ll let you know how we make out.
Thanks,

Hi Melanie and Lisa –
First of all, that was a FANTASTIC party! Thank you so much!
Sam, Smitty and everyone at Vegas made us feel so comfortable and the vibe was incredible!
The only slight disappointment we felt at all was due to the reduced number of kids that attended because of a conflict in town, but Sam’s good friends were there, and that’s all that matters.
Being the planners that we are, we already have our younger son, Sage’s day which is a Saturday night in October 2021. He’s sort of a basketball phenom and we have a connection with a NY Knick who will hope will be there. We would be interested in possibly booking this night now!
Look forward to hearing from you and thank you again for everything!

Just a note to let you know that we were absolutely thrilled with everything on Sunday. Prior to the actual party, I was only ever there during the day, and to see the place set up for a party, I was amazed at how it transformed and how beautiful everything was. Sam, Frank and Ember took care of any little thing we needed or asked. The bartenders, servers, photo booth girl….everyone was so friendly and helpful. Mars was awesome. It seems like he took pictures of everything, and everyone loved the pictures up on the screen and the funny captions and things. I can’t wait to get the link for all the pictures; EVERYONE is asking. Grace said the DJ played all the right music at the right times. She was very happy about that. Everyone seemed to be dancing the whole time, so I know the music was good.
My family was so impressed with the venue, the decor, the FOOD, the service. The party turned out perfectly. Please pass along my heartfelt thanks to all of your staff for helping to make the day one we will never forget.

The food was amazing, service was excellent, and Darrell and the dancers were fabulous! We could not have been happier, and there is not one thing we would have changed. Thank you and the staff for the hard work and making the day perfect for us and Zack. He had the time of his life on Saturday. I would happily have my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah at Vegas also if she let us! Please share this with Sam – I don’t have an email for him!

Hi Lisa,
We had an amazing time on Saturday, and Vegas did an incredible job! I can’t tell you how many people came up to me to say how wonderful the service was and the food! I only wish I had enough time to sample everything! (I should have had you wrap some dessert for us…we were so busy dancing & mingling that none of us got dessert—although the boys definitely went to town on the candy bar!)
The on-site manager (his name escapes me) was fabulous. Avery was stressed about Mr. Met being late, and he completely handled the situation & came up with the great solution of having Mr. Met come in through the back door to surprise Brayden. Sam was also there facilitating—my sister in law needed hot water to warm up & he immediately had someone take care of her! There was incredible attention to detail.
Darrell and the DJ were fantastic! They kept the party on high—even with the challenges of the two mascots. I saw lots of kids and adults dancing all the time! We had a high-energy hora. Loved the 80s mix and the addition of “Girl you really got me” by the Kinks at the end. Brayden was excited to dance to some camp songs! The adults were all watching Coke & Pepsi and commenting about how creative it was! Everyone was also commenting on the dance motivators—they all had great energy! Jackie is really an amazing dancer, and I loved the way Darrell tied that in to his Emcee “commentary.” Brayden also had a soft spot for Danielle who he met originally at one of the showcases. We were laughing about how all the boys lined up to dance & followed every move the dancers made! The stage is great too!
The montage came out great! We’ve been watching it several times at home & crying every time.
The photo step and repeat was also really well run & a lot of fun. People commented to me that there was never a line—the backdrop looked great & props & frames were fun! *One thing we thought about & forgot to ask at the party…is there any way to get the memory card for the photos that were taken? I’m not sure we picked up all our photos (although a bunch were collected and bagged for us), and it would be fun to see the pictures that others took.
The decor looked amazing! The room came out great, and Brayden now loves having the table toppers, decals, etc., hanging all over the house! We loved that the hors d’oeuvres servers were using the cocktail napkins!
The card table was a huge hit too! As you said, a bunch of the kids loved it! Also, any chance you have extra Brayden funny money? I tried to pick up some, but I think I left it somewhere.
The photographer was great to work with! It was so nice to walk in & see our pictures from the temple on screen! We can’t wait to see the party pictures and video. I liked that the video was unobtrusive.
Overall—we had such an awesome time! I can’t believe it’s over. You, Sam, and everyone else were really easy and great to deal with. We have been and will continue recommending Vegas to all our friends planning Bar/Bat Mitzvahs in the future! (And we really hope to be invited to one so we can experience it again!)

I wanted to thank you for making Jake’s night so special. EVERYONE was blown away by the venue. You made me look like a superstar. It is amazing how little we do (as your customers) and how the room is transformed as if you designed it specifically for me.
The food was amazing (so I am told). The apps were great and the cold table display was just too much. People thought that was the food, when they also saw the menu – that was the icing on the cake. So funny – the only complaint that I got from my daughter’s boyfriend (6.6 red head-I am sure you saw him Sam) and my brothers and there wives was that they disappointed that they brought out the food while they were playing Coke and Pepsi….they went into hysterics when I explained that Coke and Pepsi was for the kids… and that it was the intention for the grown ups to eat…
The music was great – Darrell was as great as I remember from Jessica’s bat mitzvah 10 years earlier. Most importantly – JAKE has an absolute blast. I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Again, thank you!

I can’t even begin to tell you how great it was. Everything was seamless and so easy! I kept telling you I thought I was missing something but it’s because you guys take care of everything! Sam and the entire staff were great. Everyone raved about the food. Smitty was amazing and 2 dancers were perfect. The breakdancing was an added bonus and I was so happy to see boys that usually don’t dance get in the middle and do some moves! From what I saw and overheard the kids were well behaved, I really think it had to do with keeping the games open because it keeps the kids who don’t dance busy. I couldn’t believe how many kids played coke and Pepsi! Most don’t do it anymore but it shows you that the kids still want to act like kids! The adults had the best time too, the dj knew what songs to play and really played to the party. I can’t say enough good things!
Thanks again!

Dear Vegas NJ Management and Event Staff,
I know a few months have passed since Asha’s Sweet 16 (6/17/17), but we would like to thank each and every one of you for doing a fantastic job at her party. Asha was extremely happy that everything turned out perfect. My husband and I were relaxed and enjoyed our guests because everyone on the team took care of every little detail for us.
From the beginning, working with Lisa, Nicole and Melanie was an absolute pleasure. They really know how to make suggestions where needed and fulfill any special requests. It made planning so simple, effortless and fun! We were so pleased with how polite and diligent your staff is. Their level of service was appreciated not only by us, but some of our guests also mentioned how attentive they were. My mom mentioned that she was looking around for a napkin when one was promptly handed to her without her even asking! My good friend was praising the party but asked if there were any behind the scene mishaps that the guests usually don’t know about, and I have to say, not a single thing went wrong! The bartender was friendly and handled the busy bar with ease. Your DJ did a fabulous job with all the introductions and song requests – everyone was on the dance floor thanks to him! I also want to mention the bouncer, the Photo Booth attendant, both were pleasant and did a great job handling the crowd. And especially the main guy that worked along Sam (whose name I am embarrassed to say I can’t remember right now) but he was incredible – he checked on me throughout the night with just a look and a “thumbs up” to make sure all was going well. He also moved things along so the party went very smoothly and timely. I also would like to thank Sam, who really knows how to manage everything and put it all together to make an incredible party! Sam, we also appreciate how your place is impeccably clean from every corner, to the ladies room, to the bar area. Lastly, the food was delicious – all the appetizers were served in a unique and fun way, while still being amazing tasting. The main course buffet was nicely presented and also very delicious and nice and hot when served. I also want to thank Sam and the chef for making the two special meals, one for Asha herself, and the other for my friend – both are very grateful for that.
Again, we are so happy we had our party at Vegas NJ – every detail was absolutely perfect. Thank you all!
On another note, our family has been praying for Lisa and her family. We send warm thoughts of strength and love.

Having Sam and the team of people there was so incredible. I felt like I didn’t have a care in the world. I could just enjoy everything! This is a top-notch venue! Everybody was so impressed.

I am writing to tell you that we had the absolute best day yesterday… my daughter Janie’s bat mitzvah far exceeded all of our hopes and expectations! Once again, the staff at Vegas NJ has outdone itself, and provided us with an unbelievably memorable day.
Lisa, you have been such a pleasure to deal with since day one, when I called you the day after my son’s bar mitzvah to book another party! Everything was picture perfect today. The room and all of the special touches were so beautiful. Of course, every single member of the staff was outstanding – they were friendly and helpful and truly made our guests feel welcome. The food was absolutely delicious and what a treat to have it packaged up for us to take home. Sam runs a tight and amazing ship and today was no exception. Everything was so great, and he is so easy to deal with. And finally, there is Smitty – we totally love him!!!!
Thanks for everything!!!

Hi Lisa,
Just a note to thank you so much for all of your time and assistance with planning Brian’s BM at Vegas. His party was amazing – beyond our expectations. You made planning very easy – you responded quickly and thoroughly to all of my (MANY) questions and concerns and I really appreciated it.
Vegas delivered everything promised – the room looked UNBELIEVABLE. Brian’s colors of bright blue and neon green worked particularly well since you had perfect linens and lighting to match our color scheme. The party compliments we added on were all perfect – and well-worth the extra cost which was very reasonable for what was provided. The centerpiece toppers looked perfect; the set-up of the adult tables and the kids lounge furniture were perfect. The step-and-repeat looked fabulous. The photo booth frames and other accessories offered were numerous and fun! The candy bar at the end was awesome! The food was really good – especially the chocolate chip cookies which I could live on forever! Many of our guests commented how good the food was and how wonderful and friendly the staff was.
It simply was a wonderful party and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I would recommend Vegas to everyone!!
With thanks,

We can not say enough about the service we received at our son’s Bar Mitzvah party this past Saturday and throughout the planning process. What the staff did was nothing short of a miracle!
With our laundry list of food allergies I thought it wouldn’t be possible to host such a party. But they did it. Above and beyond! We met to go over every possible appetizer, main entree and dessert and how it could be modified without compromising taste or appearance. Our guests are still RAVING about the food! They just kept eating and eating and commenting about every dish!! Thank you Sam and Chef Rudy for meeting with me and agreeing to take this challenge on and for truly delivering above and beyond what we could ever have imagined!
Thank you Lisa for the best customer service and honesty, for handling every phone call and answering every question even the very last minute ones and always following through!
Thanks to Smitty for keeping everyone laughing and the party going and everyone on their feet from the time the first guest arrived until the last one left reluctantly.
Thanks to dancers Allyson and Jenn for your energy, warmth and enthusiasm. Our photographer and videographer both were amazing and we can’t wait to see the photos and footage.
Thanks to all of the staff for their attention to detail and kindness.
We highly recommend Vegas and all of Powerhouse/Pellegrino properties!!

Lisa,
We wanted to reach out and say THANK YOU to you and everyone else involved with our daughter’s Bat Mitzvah this past Saturday night. Where should I begin …
Lisa, I know I sent A LOT of emails. I send emails as if I was talking to you on the phone. It was a lot and it all got done! I am a very particular person and can honestly say there was no stone left unturned! Our party was perfect. The space looked amazing. Bright and beautiful. The food was amazing (I didn’t eat, but all of our guests did and they were ALL raving). I even got an email from a parent saying which choices their three kids loved the most! The wait staff – attentive, funny and just dead on! The bartenders – quick and knew their stuff! Ember – kind, thorough and just plain awesome. DJ – Steve was great. I put a lot of pressure on this poor kid and he brought it. EVERYONE was dancing all night. The dance floor was always full. MC Darrell and Dancers (Devin, Evan Danielle and Jackie) LOVE LOVE LOVE.. THIS IS A KILLER COMBO and they could do NO wrong. I highly recommend this amazing combination of talent. They focused on the kids and that kept them dancing too! Sam – was the glue and remembered everything we spoke to him about and then some. Where else would an owner be waiting outside the bathroom with a drink for the client??? NOWHERE else.
If I forgot anyone.. Thank you!!! We are so happy and grateful for such a successful, happy, perfect celebration!!
With love and gratitude,

Lisa,
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and the team at PHS and Vegas NJ. The party was amazing. It was everything that my daughter had asked for and the night was so much fun. I was able to be at the party and I did not have to worry about anything. It was all taken care of for us. Sam was running about throughout the evening making sure everything was getting done before the next part happened. Darrell, Jackie and Megan were so great and kept the party full of energy for 4 hours. Ember was so helpful to me and made sure we were taken care of. The wait stuff, coat check attendants, photo booth attendant, bartenders, etc, the list goes on – they were all great. Everyone loved the food and said it was delicious. This is not always the case at catered events for a large group of people!! The room looked like a winter wonderland and we loved the decor.
Thank you for all your help, guidance and expertise every step of the way. You have been invaluable. This was my first Bat Mitzvah so it was especially helpful to have someone who knew what we needed to do. So many of my friends said how great the space and place was. You all truly know how to create a wonderful party.
We have another daughter who will become a Bat Mitzvah in September of 2019. I need a little breather but I am sure we will be in touch. I know not to wait too long!!
Thanks again,

I just wanted to tell you again how amazing Michele’s Bat Mitzvah was! I cannot even begin to tell you all of the compliments we received. From the minute we arrived everything went exactly as planned, and you know how neurotic I am about perfection….well it was perfect! The staff was incredible…especially Tania who took such great care of me and Michele from the minute we got there. The food was overflowing, the tables were gorgeous and I am so happy the that I did those beautiful center pieces. Thanks for helping me decide to do that! Let’s talk about the DJ, Darrell and those fabulous dancers..they were amazing! Made the whole party! I don’t think anybody sat the whole night.
But most of all I want to thank you for everything. You are such a pleasure to work with and made the planning fun and easy. You helped to make Michele’s night the “Best Night” of her life….
Thanks again..

Dear Lisa & Melanie,
Wanted to let you know how happy we were with our event. Sam, Jude, the DJ, Jackie the dance motivator, and the whole staff did a great job for us. The food was all delicious, the personnel were professional and friendly, and all of our guests, from our two-month-old cousin to Rhonda’s ninety-year-old dad, seemed to have a great time. Thanks again to everyone for helping to make our party such a success. We have another one of these coming up for daughter in a few years, so don’t be surprised if you see us again.
Thanks again so much.

Hi Lisa and Sam,
We just wanted to thank you both for the amazing party on Saturday. We loved it!! Sam- you were so easy to work with and made me feel calm. Thanks!
We got so many comments from people about how well run it was, how nice and efficient the staff was and how delicious the food was (I didn’t eat ANYTHING so I’ll have to take their word for it!). Many people told us that…not just one or two. Many of our guests had never been there before and they all loved it.
And Smitty was awesome! We loved him and so did the kids (and the adult guests as well).
So all of the months and months of planning was all worth it!!
Thank you again. Son #2 is in 2 years. As of now he’s not sure what he wants to do regarding a party. But I’ll check anyway…November XX, 2018. Let me know if you have the date available!
Thank you!

People were dancing right up until the end, and both kids and adults were so entertained. Really couldn’t be happier and Jessica had the time of her life. Thank you and Sam!!!

Hi Lisa,
I would like to sincerely thank you and your team for making my daughter’s sweet 16 a memorable one for us in Vegas NJ. No doubt my family and my guests had a great time. From start to end everything was perfectly organized. Food, decoration by Laura, DJ, MC by Evan, service, and the hard work of Sam everything was amazing and every detail is visible through the event.
You guys put your heart in to every detail of the party and we felt it and we were happily received that. Every penny what we spent here is worth it for us. It’s really a pleasure to work with you all. Two thumbs up for your lovely service.

Hi Lisa,
Wow! Ethan’s Bar Mitzvah was beyond spectacular. Even before the event, the staff at Vegas was always helpful. They seemed just as excited to see our vision for the party through.
The party was beyond what we could have imagined. The food, the entertainment, Darrell the Emcee were all amazing. Darell got over 45 boys to dance the night away instead of play on their cell phones! Each and every kid had a great time. More than one guest told me if they had to plan a similar event they would copy everything we did at Vegas. The venue was beautiful! It looked like a hockey rink and our son was beaming when we walked in and saw how it was transformed. Thank you for making the Bar Mitzvah a night to remember. We hope to be back to celebrate our Daughter’s Bat Mitzvah in 2019.

I just wanted to thank you and let you know how truly appreciative my family is for the continued relationship we have had during this Bar/Bat Mitzvah process. You guys are true professionals and I can’t begin to tell you how many compliments we received from almost every facet of the party. The room, the staff, the dj and the food were all truly incredible and you guys go above and beyond to make a special day, even more special. Darrell, Jackie, Sabrina and Devin got the kids dancing and actually I think they have more fun than the kids. I could go on forever, but just wanted you to know that you put out a first class product and I will continue to be extremely vocal and outspoken about leading people to you because you guys are the best and do things the right way!!! Let me know if I can ever help you in any way. It would be my pleasure.
Thanks again and I am sure our paths will cross again.

A very special thanks to Sam and Jude who were on top of everything.

Also many people commented on what a great staff you have, that everyone was super friendly and helpful with every request.
PS, When I meet with Sam, he wants to bring some of those cookies with him, I won’t say no. My neighbor and my husband are completely in love with them and must have devoured the dozen or so we brought home that night!

Hi Lisa,
I just want to thank you again for helping me through the planning of my daughter, Alexi DeLara’s Sweet sixteen party. I was really nervous and had a billion questions and requests for you. You answered them patiently and reassured me that it would be great and it was. The kids and the adults had an amazing party and all had only great things to say about the venue, the music, the food and the service. Sam was also so helpful also in planning the last stages of the party. His snow movie and the snowman really made the scene even more wonderful for a Winter Wonderland Party! Powerhouse is very lucky to have such dedicated team of workers to make every party special. Your suggestion of doing the personal Gobo and having the photobooth was spot on. They really added a special touch to the party. Thanks so much again!

Hi Lisa and Sam,
I’d like to thank you for the extraordinary job you and your staff did on my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah. Your staff was helpful, courteous and professional during the entire process! We met about 3-4 weeks prior to the big day to discuss the smaller details that would make it a great event. Your staff not only listened, but carried out everything that was discussed and promised without any reminders. Vegas really made an extra effort to ensure we were happy and that it was a stress free experience. And VEGAS ABSOLUTELY DELIVERED! Thank you again and i will be seeing you in a few years when my son has his Bar Mitzvah!

I wanted to send you an email to say how unbelievable Jared’s Bar Mitzvah was at Vegas! It truly was one of the best parties I’ve ever attended; not to mention thrown! Every child had an amazing time and was occupied either by the great DJ & MC or the game tables. Additionally, every adult was either dancing or enjoying he absolutely amazing food.
From beginning to end Vegas far surpassed our expectations; from the planning through to the clean up. I was overwhelmed by the attentive staff during the party who made sure I was well fed while entertaining the guests. Today my phone and Facebook has been exploding with people telling us what an amazing time they had.
It was a pleasure planning this event with you and I would do it again in a second! Thank you so much for making Jared’s Bar Mitzvah everything I could have wished for! Your facility and staff are top notch.

Hello Lisa,
Just wanted to let you know how lovely everything turned out at the girls Sweet Sixteen party. The balloons looked great and so did everything else. Ember did a great job setting everything up. The service was wonderful! The waiters were all so pleasant and so was the bartender. The DJ was amazing and did a great job. He had the kids on the dance floor all evening. I have not seen kids dance this much at any party. The food was also excellent. Everything was delicious. The photographer was easy and fun to work with. The party turned out much better than I could have ever imagined. Everyone was raving about it at the end of the evening. We all had a fantastic time. The girls will have a fantastic memory that will last a lifetime.

Vegas was the most perfect venue for our New Year’s Eve wedding! It is definitely unique and unforgettable! My guests were wowed as soon as they walked in and they could not stop talking about the food and the music! Everyone was great the day of and made sure my husband and I were well taken care of. Everything we wanted was there, and they were able to pull off the night exactly as I envisioned it! One of the best things about Vegas was that the DJ came with our package and he did not disappoint. We had a mix of people at our wedding, and he had everyone on the dance floor! I could not have been happier with our choice in venue and recommend this to anyone looking for a unique, fun venue that has great food!

Lisa and Sam,
I wanted to personally thank you both for making Hannah’s Bat Mitzvah so amazing. I felt like a guest at my own party.
Lisa – working with you in planning for this event was a pleasure. You were so easy to work with and I appreciated all of your guidance regarding every detail from dancers and the emcee to bartenders and cubbies. I loved having one central contact who was able to accommodate everything we needed.
Sam – Saturday night was amazing. I loved the room, the service and the whole vibe. It is really a fun venue and you truly run a very smooth and easy event – as you know, we are already booked for our next daughter (Dara) for 2016. Hannah is so excited!! It is exactly what she wanted with not a single detail missed.
I know we had some hiccups with switching the kosher caterer a few weeks ago – but you were both right. Howie really came through. The food really wonderful and everyone is still talking about it.
Thank you again!!!

Hi,
Just wanted to say thank you for all your help along the way. The party was amazing–Sasha loved every minute of it!
Also, everyone who worked at Vegas that night–starting with Sam (of course), Smitty, DJ, dancers, staff, and anyone else I missed–everyone was friendly, happy, pleasant, and easy to work with. This party took lots of work, but it was worth every second of it 🙂
Thank you so much for helping to organize such a special evening. Please pass this along to Sam and all the others. We really appreciate all the work you did before and during the event to make the evening special. Not that you need one, but if you ever need a reference if someone asks for one, I am happy to be that person……

We had the best night as did all the kids. The sushi, decor, MC Darell, dancers, staff etc. made the night first rate and extraordinary. We will definitely be telling our friends what a special place Vegas was! Thanks again for all you did to make for such a successful night!

Hi Lisa,
I just wanted to thank you all (and Sam) for the wonderful party you helped me throw for Sydney. As far as I could tell, everything was perfect. I did not eat much, but the overall feedback was that the food was excellent, especially the sushi. It was very thoughtful of you all to have someone (I forgot her name, but very nice lady) put a plate of food together for me, unfortunately a bunch of scavengers ate it, not me, but still, super nice. DJ’s, Emcee, and dancers were fantastic, the kids were out there dancing their hearts out.
All the Best,

Dear Sam, Melanie, and the entire Vegas family:
I cannot begin to thank you for the amazing party on Saturday night. People have been calling me since then to tell me it was the best party they have ever been to.
Smitty outdid himself! He managed to keep everyone engaged and having fun the entire night. The DJ played just the right music, the staff was welcoming and accommodating the entire evening, the bartenders were great, and Sam, you managed to make it all happen without breaking a sweat.
My husband has been in the catering/hospitality field for over 20 years and he said he would not have changed a thing! The food was amazing and served with finesse. The cocktail hour food was presented beautifully as was dessert! We loved everything from start to finish!
Jake said it was the best night of his life- mission accomplished! Looking forward to out next event there! Thank you a million times over!

The worst thing that happened to Lisa was that I booked Tyler’s Bar Mitzvah a year and half in advance! … The best thing that happened to me was that I met Lisa at the open house 2 Junes ago! … I liked her, trusted her and liked what she had to say. She was professional yet friendly and relatable. So much so that I was the first person to book a party at Vegas without knowing where it was or what it looked like. I remember saying to myself, “this is perfect…what else could I possibly be looking for….done!”
Now, Lisa will have a lot of time on her hands because since that day in June I called her regularly stressed about how to plan the big day. She always steered me right. She said keep the day party…it is dark in there and no one will know the difference. I already had one friend call up saying that it was brilliant to do the day in a dark place! She assured me the food would be ok and it was exceptional. She steered me right how to spend on add ons….she said get the magician even though he is expensive and told me how many dancers to cap it at. She said the kids would go nuts for the gum ball machine and they did. She said DO NOT get valet parking…so right and I can not count how many times Lisa said not to worry!
Most importantly, Tyler had a great time and was beaming when he went to bed that night. 2nd most important the kids were engaged and not on their phones sitting the whole time. I can’t thank Lisa and the Vegas staff enough for that. You can not put a price on that! I am happy to be a reference for any family considering Vegas as a party venue.
Thanks again,

Everything was AMAZING. Doug and I have been getting calls about the party all morning. From start to finish everything was wonderful – food, entertainment, staff, etc. We couldn’t have been more pleased. The girls had a blast and their friends came away saying it was a great party.
Thank you all so very much for a memorable evening.

Hi Sam,
We just wanted to extend a huge heartfelt thank you to you and your staff. Hayley’s Bat Mitzvah celebration was wonderful, the place looked gorgeous, the food is receiving more than high praises and the entertainment was exceptional. Our 2nd Powerhouse experience was even better than our first, 2-1/2 years ago! It’s sad to say, but for now our BIG family celebrations are over, if we ever are in need of something or if anyone asks for recommendations we will certainly think of you first. Thank you for the WINDOW TINT too! I know you were planning on doing that at some point, so thanks for making that happen for us : ) Good luck with Vegas, we have no doubt that you will have many successful years there!
Again, thank you to you and your staff for such a wonderful experience!

Another rave review from one of the guests at the Budnick event on 3/2/13:
Looking at all the pictures from my nieces Bas Mitzvah. Had a blast at Vegas in Randolph. The room and in-house catering was awesome, sting ray tank, DJ, etc… We loved the french fries in the shot glass with the ketchup on the bottom! Check it out. Was happy to be a guest at this shindig. Good luck to this new venture of Powerhouse.
See you soon.
