Hi Lisa
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
Thank you so much for making yesterday the most amazing day. I have been telling everyone I picked Powerhouse because I wanted a one stop shop where they did everything in house-and it truly exceeded my expectations. Lisa was amazing to work with during the planning, answering my million questions and making the day of smooth and seamless. I couldn’t ask for a better night-we were able to enjoy ourselves without having to worry about a thing because Lisa and the entire team were always one step ahead. My younger one has already decided she wants hers at Powerhouse so we’ll be back!

Hi Lisa,
I feel like I am just coming up for air after a whirlwind weekend! Thank you so much for your help. The space was perfect. Honestly, we own a restaurant so our expectations for food are always kind of low BUT everything I ate (even after it was packed up and reheated) was SO GOOD (Kudos on the short ribs especially! ) The chef is a doll – I got to meet him earlier in the week!
The emcee was BEYOND AMAZING he made that party a party, I looked for him at the end to thank him but he was gone– please send him my heartfelt thanks, his energy was off the charts!

Hi Lisa,
“Ultra Lounge @ PHS was so easy to work with and accommodating to all of our requests, from a custom photo box build with logo wraps and silver sequins and neon and branding the entire space to customizing the menu and special dessert bar for our daughter’s bat mitzvah. The day was insanely magical and every child came up to us saying it was the ‘best party ever.’ As parents, nothing could be better than seeing our daughter beaming and laughing but the organization and professional ‘we’ve got this’ attitude from the team helped make this day enjoyable for us, too! I can’t thank them enough for throwing the best party for us. I wouldn’t think twice before booking them again and again for your event. So easy and you can still get that ‘WOW’ factor. TY, TY, Lisa, Sammy, Smitty, Jaime, and the whole staff for knocking it out of the park for us!”
As an aside, thank you for all of the customization and planning that went into this & also to Sammy, who really even right before the party and at the party put together 2 gluten-free meals and was finding last minute homes for things like pics on easels and finding places for flowers. You guys are really top notch and I can tell have years of expertise and are so calm and gracious and accommodating. I can’t say enough wonderful things about working with both of you and Powerhouse. I hope that you can share these words with the owners. They are very lucky to have you both on staff.

Dear Lisa,
We wanted to personally thank you for an amazing night. You cared about us and you cared about our guests. You thought of every detail and you made it all seem so easy. Your insights were spot on. It’s very clear you know what you are doing. At no point, you made us feel stressed (and that’s very important on a night like this). You helped us with planning, you helped during the night. You are amazing and we couldn’t have done it without you!
Ariel said it was the best night ever (and we agree). Thank you again for EVERYTHING!!!
It’s so weird not to talk to you today! 🙂
Wanted to reach out again and thank you for everything. The team was amazing. Everyone did such a fantastic job. We wanted to highlight the emcee who was phenomenal and made the night such a big success. It felt like he cared about our night like his own event. Big thank you to the entire team, DJ, dancers, kitchen staff, anyone who helped our night to be so special.
Thank you, thank you!

Thank you so much for a great party! You truly were amazing from the beginning when I booked it all throughout the entire process of planning. The party was amazing. The MC and the DJ were great. All the girls had such a great time and the MC made the party seemless in terms of dancing and coordinating the night. You were so accommodating with everything and making sure the dietary restrictions were available to the teens. I was really impressed with powerhouse and the entire staff and would highly recommend throwing a party there again! Thanks again!

Lisa,
I am not even sure where to start. Hannah and Jacob’s b’nei mitzvah party yesterday at Hollywood Ballroom was beyond our dreams. You and your team made the day truly magical for Hannah and Jacob, and Matt and me and our guests too, from the delicious food, to the joyous and festive atmosphere that Smitty and the motivators maintained for 4 HOURS!!, to the beautiful decor and lighting, to making sure my dad (wheelchair bound) had enough appetizers, everything was perfect.
It all started from your and my first tour, from before I even booked Powerhouse. Your calm, competent down to earth manner (and of course the spectacular facility) made it the obvious choice, and throughout the process your partnership and guidance made it a smooth and easy process .
I am especially grateful at how flawlessly and calmly you handled me getting you so many details at the last minute 😁.
You are the best Lisa!! You have an amazing team and Matt and I are beyond grateful for all the work you did so we could truly enjoy the day, and for the memories we made at Powerhouse yesterday,
Best,

Hi Lisa,
We are still flying from last night. This was our first Bat Mitzvah, and we were total novices at all of this. But Powerhouse made us look like pros! Thanks for all your guidance throughout the whole experience. Everything from the linens, centerpieces, program, flow, lighting, music, giveaway’s…was seamless. And of course, the Smitty nostalgia made everything extra special, and it was so clear that the DJ and Smitty wanted everything to be perfect for us. The music and vibe was EXACTLY what we wanted.
Thanks for being so easy and great to work with. Save the date for Emma (2026) and Ali (2028), and many many nieces to follow!!!
Thanks again for everything.
We are on such a high, and feel so great about our party.
But most of all, Annie loved every minute of her night, and felt so extra special.
That’s what it’s al about.

Hi Lisa,
You and your team definitely hit a home run with Cooper’s bar mitzvah. Everyone is still talking about how awesome the facility is, the food was, and how your staff kept all the kids engaged for the entire party. The MC was phenomenal as were the dancers and in the words of Cooper our brand new 13 year old it was lit. Everyone was so accommodating anything we asked for we got. You were extremely easy to work with throughout the entire process. We had high expectations and you exceeded them. We can’t wait to recommend you for future events.
PS when and how do we get access to our pictures?

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.

We just had my son’s bar mitzvah party at Powerhouse in Paramus and the updated space is amazing! Everyone had the best time, and raved about the cocktail hour. There was tons of food, and it was delicious! The emcee, DJ and dancers were top notch! They kept the party going, and even played some songs for the adults. They really heard us and listened to what we did or did not want. All our family and friends told us it was such a great party! My son, who is not always into big parties, had a smile on his face the entire time!
I would definitely recommend Powerhouse to anyone looking to book a bar or bat mitzvah!

Dear Sam and Lisa,
Two of my special needs students attended the Ridge Ranch 4th grade party this past Monday. I could not let the opportunity to commend the MC who ran the event pass. I have been in special education for 27 years and this event was so incredibly inclusive. Usually, my teacher assistants have to find a way to help the kids join the group or find a way to participate. This certainly was not the case on Monday! Not only did the MC ensure my students were included in every event, but he got into the action. I cannot thank you enough for having such amazing staff at your establishment. Rest assured that these kids had the time of their lives on Monday and for that, I cannot thank you enough!
Sincerely,

Hi Josephine!
Great seeing you today at Powerhouse Studios.
Thank you again for all your dedication and hard work to plan these events with the committee for the 4th graders.
I wanted to praise the host (I think his name is Evan?), but he was absolutely the best. I really appreciated the fact he did his best to be inclusive and made sure the children were able to participate in many of the activities/games. He made them feel super special and it really means a lot to the children to be able to make these memories at school. Evan was absolutely amazing!
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!

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.

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 🙂

Everything was absolutely perfect! You guys executed such a lovely and classy affair! Every last detail was thought of and attended to! I know you have parties there all the time but it didn’t feel like a factory – it felt special and unique to us! We got so many compliments about how fun and fabulous the party was. James really enjoyed it as well as all of his friends! DJ Evan was so super fun and really got the crowd engaged and going! You were an absolute pleasure to work with – so easy going and calming!
I can go on and on but really, it was just PERFECT!
Thank you so much again and we will be sure to spread the love and our experience with those looking for party venues!
XOXO,

Well, the verdict is in, and it is unanimous among family and (very picky/judgy) tweens: the bat mitzvah was an astounding success, “THE BEST EVER” according to the bat mitzvah girl and her besties.
Thank you all so much for such an amazing day. While every single person there, from the manager to the bartenders to the fabulous security guy were incredible, I have to give a particular shout out of gratitude to the MC. He was truly the lifeblood of the party and we couldn’t have been happier with the whole experience. Please give my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to every person at Powerhouse.
See you again in three years for the next kid :-P︎

Good morning Lisa,
I had to write you first thing this morning to thank you for the spectacular party you ran for us last night at your Powerhouse Studios Paramus location. To say our 50th birthday celebration was perfect would be an understatement. From the moment the planning began you went above and beyond for our family. Your responsiveness to us throughout the entire planning process to the execution of you and your team the day of the party was professional, on-point and exceeded any and all of our expectations. Our guests were blown away by your facility, hardworking team members, delicious food and really everything!! No stone was left unturned. You and your team are top notch. The use of our party logo throughout the event just added so much to the ambiance of an already fabulous space. Between the step and repeat, the TO GO bar, the screens, etc., everything was done so well and perfectly. The photographer was fabulous, with such high energy and did not miss a moment of capturing celebration. Our guests could not stop raving about the party and it is all thanks to you and your team. We are so grateful for everything you did for us. And we can’t wait to host another event at your Powerhouse Studio locations in the future. Again, we can’t thank you enough!!
With much appreciation,

Hi Lisa,
I cannot even begin to thank you for the most amazing party at your Hollywood Ballroom venue. Every single minute of that night was perfect for Brady. Evan was the best emcee we could’ve asked for. His energy was just awesome! Brady said to me at one point in the night, “I am just so overwhelmed (in a great way).” Your entire staff made her feel so very special. Your detail in the winter wonderland look that she was hoping for was perfect! I cannot thank you all enough for making her sweet 16 so special. It was honestly everything she dreamed of. We could not have asked for a more perfect party. Thank you ALL for going the extra mile. We are SO appreciative and know that the memories made that night will last a lifetime for Brady. Wishing you and your entire staff a VERY happy holiday season.

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 just woke up and the first thing I need to do prior to starting my day is to thank YOU! I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect event from booking the date to the night of. Lisa was beyond amazing to work with! She made every single step of planning seamless and there is always a lot to plan for a big event. She held my hand through the entire process and let me know what needed to be done when and it made everything on my end so easy!! The night of the event exceeded all of my expectations!!! Every single person that worked during our party was lovely, professional and truly excited to be a part of our big day!! Evan our MC had the kids dancing the entire night, which I have rarely seen. The dancers were amazing, full of energy and kept the crowd happy and engaged throughout the evening. I wasn’t even going to take a break to eat, but I’m so glad I did, the food was delicious!! There is really nothing else to say other than, THANK YOU to Lisa and all of your staff at the Ultra Lounge, Powerhouse Studios, you truly made our special event better than we could have ever imagined and we are truly grateful. We will definitely be seeing you again soon!!!!

From the servers, to the cleaning staff, photography station workers, security guard, DJ, and the fabulous MC who kept the party going with so much energy. They were all fantastic.

We just had our daughter’s Sweet 16 at Powerhouse, and we were extremely happy with it. This is our second time doing a party with them — we had our son’s Bar Mitzvah party at Vegas, which they also run, seven years ago — and in both cases, they were terrific to deal with in the planning and everyone who worked the event was friendly, professional, and helpful. The food was delicious and plentiful, and the DJ played exactly the style of music our daughter had asked for and he kept things moving; many of our guests went out of their way to mention to us how great they thought the food and music were. Powerhouse is attractive, comfortable, and well designed. Lisa, whom we dealt with throughout the process and who ran the event in person, was extremely solicitous throughout the party to make sure that we were happy and to see if we needed anything. Kids and adults all seemed to have a great time, and our daughter was thrilled with the job that everyone there did for her. I have no hesitation in recommending them, and they would again be my first choice for any events we have in the future.

The room itself looked spectacular – the guests remarked on how beautiful the space was. Devin and the dancers kept the party going with their high level energy. Sam and the staff were so attentive throughout and took care of every detail before, during and after the party. They were there every time we needed them! The food was delicious and plentiful, with a great variety for everyone. We got to take home some leftovers and it all still tasted great! Overall – it was a fabulous event and we were very happy with how everything turned out. Thanks again to you and your phenomenal staff for guiding us through this process. (I never doubted you 😊)

Hi Lisa!
We have been meaning to get in touch since Saturday. I do not even know where to begin. You are amazing, and everything was better than we could have even imagined. The day was executed to perfection — from the centerpieces, to the floor decal, to the step and repeat, to the blown-up pictures of Mia, even down to the smallest details like setting up the sign-in table exactly as we envisioned. Devin was incredible, as were the dancers, and the rest of the staff who made the event so much fun. We absolutely loved Bart from the moment we met him at the synagogue for pictures. His attention to detail was so appreciated, and seeing the pictures pop up during the party was just awesome. The food was delicious, and the fact that we had food to take home was just unbelievable. All of the personal touches were so wonderful, like meeting the Chef, and have him bringing additional food out as we were leaving! And you, well, you are just the best. You made everything so easy for us from day one when I booked the venue in East Hanover, to having to change the venue to Paramus, to every modification and final detail. You always made me feel like you were just on it, and when planning an event like this, that means everything. Mia had the absolute best time, which was all we wanted. We cannot thank you enough for this very special day. Please pass along our sincerest thanks to everyone else as well. We are still hearing rave reviews, and we are all still smiling.
With sincerest gratitude,

Hi Lisa,
I wanted to sincerely thank you for an incredible party on Saturday night! You were fabulous to work with – there was nothing that we asked for that you were not able to accommodate. From storing and giving out tons of oddly sized gift bags, accommodating all of our dietary needs, ensuring that over 100 kids behaved and all of our other last minute requests, you and your team really went the extra mile. I loved that you and the Powerhouse team did everything for the event – from catering, DJ and dancers, room decor, photo and video, candy room and more – it was all done seamlessly and with no coordination or stress needed on my part.
We all had the best time, Max had an absolute blast and we created memories that will last a lifetime! So….are you ready to book Sam’s for 2028???

Hi Melanie,
Thank you for reaching out. We had a wonderful time at Jonathan’s bar mitzvah and the party was so much fun. Your team was great – professional, available, approachable and ran everything extremely well.
The room looked so good! The balloons were so cool and made the space look like a party. The food was delicious. Several people told me so.
We couldn’t have asked for a better day!
I wanted to personally thank you for all of your help, throughout not only the planning of this event, but everything from when we had to cancel Cayla’s bat mitzvah and in between. It was a challenging time for us and when I look back on it, I think we worked together nicely and ended up coming out of the pandemic with a beautiful bar mitzvah. We were impressed and appreciative of how Powerhouse worked with us during the pandemic and really cared for our situation. You made the experience enjoyable and always communicated quickly and clearly. I can confidently say I would recommend Powerhouse Studios and hope we have the opportunity to use your services in the future.

Hi Lisa,
I just wanted to send you a quick note to tell you how unbelievably pleased we are with Dylan’s party on Saturday night. From start to finish, everything went perfectly. Your MC, DJ and Dancers were fantastic, especially Smitty. You guys took a shy kid, who doesn’t love the spotlight and made him feel like a million bucks. He was on stage dancing all night. He literally had THE time of his life. He is of course now begging to go back to Powerhouse Studios and also begging to have another bar mitzvah. I cannot thank you and the entire PHS staff enough for giving us the gift of this evening!
Thank you again for everything!
Best Regards,

Good morning Lisa!
We want to thank you for helping us in planning Michelle’s Sweet Sixteen Party. We were so impressed and very happy that the party was beautiful and everyone had a great time. Jen was so attentive to all our needs. She went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly throughout the night. Mike and everyone involved made this party one to remember by many. Bart did an amazing job throughout the night. The DJ was awesome! Literally made everyone dance! The food was delicious. You were right Lisa.., it was magical. Michelle had a wonderful night to remember. She wanted to share that special night with her family and friends. And I believe she did when spoke from her heart.
Thank you Lisa and the whole team at Powerhouse for a beautiful night we’ll never forget. Happy Thanksgiving!
Warmly,

Thank you for working with us on all our requests. The photographer was amazing! The photos coming up on the screens really wowed the guests. The Emcee/DJ mentioned how great Sam was to work with. The menu changes worked very well for our guests. Everything worked out very well with the Rabbi ceremony and timing of room turn over. 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!

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!!

Smitty was an absolute rock star and the dancers were fantastic. They had the kids participating all night. The servers, bartenders and rest of the staff were discreet and professional.
You made sure my family and I were comfortable and happy and fed : ) And most importantly Owen had a great night!!

Hi Lisa,
I wanted to thank you again for the SPECTACULAR job you did this weekend and really the whole time, for Goldie Stein’s bat mitzvah!
We were blown away on Sunday by how well the event went, we felt a great vibe the whole night which was confirmed by our family and friends who told us they had a blast and loved the venue and entertainment! You took the extra steps to add details we appreciated (like the screens outside and the special goldie drink sign) and to take into account our very detailed requests on lists.
You thought out of the box, adding in the extra logos on the screens and running the mini montage in the tent and main area! All my questions were already anticipated by you, which were reassuring. And in general, you have been a pleasure to work with from day one when I called you frantically to schedule the venue.
As I told you on the phone, your calm and positive demeanor helped throughout the process. And it carried through when it really counted- the day and night of the event! I hope you get the sense of how much we truly appreciate your efforts and attention to detail. We will highly recommend you (as others have to us) and Powerhouse in general.
We also thought the staff was amazing! Setup was better than I expected. I got there early to check it and it was better than I had envisioned. We also really liked how you and Smitty made sure to check in with us about the order of things throughout the night. That really ensured things went smoothly. And Smitty and the dancers, in general, were a lot of fun and enthusiastic the whole time.
Also, the food was delicious (thank you for all the yummy leftovers). At the end of the night when we were exhausted, everything was packed up neatly and delivered to our car with courtesy. Everyone seemed to take the initiative to make it truly the best night.
I also want to mention how kind everyone was when I dropped off the supplies, taking the time to stop and help us and keep it organized. And some of the staff, before the party, even stopped what they were doing to take a minute and tell Goldie how pretty she looked, which made her feel so special, even before any guests got there.
I’m copying Melanie Pellegrino, because I would like to share these compliments and let Powerhouse know how much we loved our event – from beginning to end- and all the people, like you, who made it happen, with pleasure and ease. I really appreciate your efforts and hope to work with you again, maybe for my little one Sasha! ;0)
Best wishes for a fabulous summer, and I hope to see you at another event soon!

Hi Lisa!
We just wanted to thank you for a phenomenal Bar Mitzvah last weekend 5/28. Sam’s Bar Mitzvah could not have been any better. We had worked with you 3 years ago and had a fantastic experience at Vegas so we knew that we would not be disappointed. This time around you exceeded all expectations. When I called you in a panic a few weeks prior to the event you were able to make miracles happen and helped to switch our event to Powehouse. You definitely made us feel calm and at ease and reassured us that everything would work out well. Everything at the event was perfect. The food was delicious and enjoyed by all of our guests. The pavilion looked beautiful and the balloon decorations that you suggested were amazing. Devin was fantastic for the 2nd time and really helped get the party moving. The dancers were enthusiastic! We can’t wait to see all the photos from Mars! All of the staff were helpful and friendly!
Thank you again for an outstanding event!

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!
Thank you!!

I would like to take the time to once again praise your team that prepared our catering and made our party this Saturday successful. I’m so happy that I have booked Powerhouse Studios and had Chef Tom and John cater our event. I don’t even know where to start. I have never received so many praises on food and professionalism of the Chefs. Everyone kept saying the food and the presentation was out of this world. As for me, I’m relived that I was under their care as they made this event enjoyable and they were quick to accommodate any crazy last minute requests without hesitation. It took alot of pressure of our back. I’m sure I will see you guys soon for another event and once again thank you for making this event a success!

You were always so calm and reassured me that everything would be ok. It was more than ok! The room looked great, the photo station and signage looked terrific. The club vibe was just what my daughter wanted Evan and his crew were spectacular and kept everyone dancing almost the entire time! The music was more than we could have asked for both in English and Hebrew. Please pass on our thanks to all the entire staff, they were so attentive and friendly. We received so many calls and texts telling us what an amazing night it was. The most important person, the Bat Mitzvah girl, had a truly magical evening Thank you Lisa. You stayed the entire night when you didn’t have to. We can’t tell you how much we appreciated that. You are the BEST at your job and a truly wonderful person!

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.

WOW!! I don’t know where to start. We had a sweet 16 for my Daughter, and it was absolutely amazing!! Lisa and all the staff are great. They made the planning and the party so easy & stress-free,I am so grateful!
Now for the details:. I was nervous about not being able to taste test the food. Being a foodie and all. The food was amazing right from the start. Cocktail hour right into dinner. Everything was delicious. Chicken Franchise, penne Vodka, mash potatoes, (to die for), we also opted for Sushi which was outstanding! And so much food!!
I can’t say enough about the staff, DJ, Emcee, photographers, they all were just amazing! And for the pricing to be bundled into a package makes the whole process a breeze.
The room set up, the vibe, and all the monogram things that were available for us to chose from, made it a one stop shop and the room looked amazing.
It’s was an amazing time and so much fun !!!
Thank you Lisa!!! And thank you to everyone at the Powerhouse in making our event one everyone will be talking about for weeks

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,

Our son’s Bar Mitzvah was almost a year ago but we still remember every detail like it was yesterday. Lisa and her crew took care of everything so we did not have to worry about a thing. And that was perfect for me, since I worry about everything! The decor, music, food, activities and everything in between, was all so perfect…better than we could have imagined. We had specific requests, as our son was very particular about some of the things he wanted and didn’t want. Our son was extremely happy with how everything turned out…he said it was perfect. We still receive compliments from our friends and family about how good the food was and how much fun they had at the party. And Smitty…he rocked it!!! He was the perfect addition to the night. We cannot thank Powerhouse enough for making this night so memorable and special for us.

Hi Lisa,
Forgive me for taking three whole days to touch base and tell you how AMAZING everything was at Bach’s bar mitzvah on Saturday. The signage was spot on, the candy, magician and photo station were a hit, the DJ was awesome, the photographer was so on top of everything (and a sweet man as well), and I can’t say enough about Smitty. He was 1000% the right emcee for this crowd, our bar mitzvah boy and this party. He was tremendously fun and everyone loved him so much. Every single person had the best time ever, from the youngest of kids to the oldest of adults. Please pass on to him that we are so grateful for all he did on Saturday to keep every single person engaged, smiling, laughing, dancing and having a blast. It was truly one of the best days of our lives.
We really pulled this off – I still can’t believe how much got done in such a short amount of time. Thanks so much to you for all your guidance and advice as it all came together.
I hope you, the rest of the Powerhouse team and your families have very Happy Holidays!
All my best,

I don’t think I can describe in words properly how wonderful my daughter Natalie’s Quinceañera was at Powerhouse Studios. When my venue fell through a month before the event was supposed to take place I reached out to PH and they were immediately accommodating, and we only had to push the party back 2 weeks. This venue really is like one-stop shopping and they were so friendly and worked with me on every detail, they even welcomed any decorations I already had and then of course, added the Powerhouse flair; from the colors, to the lighting, music and digital screens. The whole staff was great, from the Planner to Security, from the DJ to the Servers and literally everyone in between! They really know how to run an event; the compliments were endless between the ambiance, the food, the photo booth, the “Bars,” etc. We had the time of our lives and it sparked some guests to want to look into their parties there. I would highly recommend the Team and the Venue. We wish we could relive it a million times over!
Best Regards and Happy Holidays!!!

Lisa-
Our daughter’s Bat Mitzvah celebration last night was truly magical. We cannot thank you and your staff enough for all of your hard work, commitment, dedication, enthusiasm, attentiveness, thoughtfulness and so much more! The entertainment was high energy throughout the evening and fun for kids and adults alike. The food was absolutely delicious and plentiful. The decor and atmosphere was gorgeous and beyond what we could have ever imagined. Shout outs to Devin, Evan, Meghan, Jamie, Sam, Lorraine, (Jim?) and everyone else front and center as well as behind the scenes. You really know how to throw a fabulous party and you make it look so easy. I can’t wait to book my next event at Powerhouse. It really was so special and memorable and the best night ever!
It could not have gone any better. We loved every minute. I would say that Powerhouse is awesome but powerhouse it is an entity and it’s truly the people that make powerhouse so great! You outdid yourselves and my daughter announced during the last song that it was the best night of her life! Keep doing what you are doing.
Best,

Hi Lisa,
We would like to send our heartfelt thanks for a wonderful party on Saturday night. Everything was perfect and there wasn’t a second that we were stressed or worried about a thing.
Devin, the DJ and the motivators were phenomenal. We’ve never seen a party where all the kids are engaged in dancing/games the entire party and having a total blast.
The food was delicious and Sherry the bartender was a Rockstar!
Bart was fabulous as well, we can’t wait to see all the amazing pictures.
Jackson had the absolute time of his life and thank you so much for being the reason!

I can’t even begin to put in words the wonderful experience we’ve had with everybody at Powerhouse studios. Everybody did an excellent job and I mean everybody in the staff.
Lisa you are just awesome to work with! I have never experienced such an excellent service and awesome experience from a venue coordinator. We had to ask if you were actually the owner because of your dedication and passion to the place. The dedication and the service you give to your customers shows how committed you are to the job and not just a regular hired employee. I bet your boss don’t have to worry with anything at all with you around. Truly a gem of an employee!!! You were such a pleasure to talk to, so welcoming and reassuring when I started stressing out. It was so nice that you cared as much as we did to make my daughter’s sweet sixteen as perfect as it could be. We are so thankful to all of you for making the event a success. All our guests are raving about it. They really enjoyed the party and everybody (young and old) had fun!
Powerhouse Studios really got this all packaged up perfectly. The venue is so pretty and decorated nicely plus being allowed to add our own decorations was very much appreciated. The food was delicious and the way it was served was really nice. Loved that the ice cream bar and the frozen drinks were part of the menu and not an add-on. The photobooth was a huge hit and everyone loved that they could all have unlimited copies with different choice of picture frames. Then there’s the best emcee ever Evan! We all loved Emcee Evan! He was so good at getting everybody partying. He’s funny, a good dancer and very personable. You are so lucky to have him in your crew because he is excellent! Our DJ was awesome too! Everything he played was so good we couldn’t leave the dance floor! I wish I could remember the name of our “Guard for the night” as he introduced himself, he was really nice and on top of his game! He made us feel safe. The rest of the crew was so nice and gave excellent service.
Once again thank you Lisa for making my daughter so happy! We are truly grateful for you and your team!
Thank You!

Lisa,
Having known you for some many years professionally, I knew our event would be fantastic. What I did not know was the attention to detail that you, Sam and the entire staff would put into a single event. You always immediately responded to every email and always took/quickly returned every phone call (and I know there were plenty of them)! You helped us find the right menu, decorations and add ons that worked for our particular event. Your sincerity and level of customer service is second to none.
On top of that Devin was an incredible MC and kept the party moving in the right direction the entire night. He was flexible and did not follow a script – he just felt the vibe of what was happening at the moment and constantly adjusted as needed. DJ John was also fantastic – we have been told by several guests how great they both were.
Thank you again for a memorable night!

I wanted to thank you for an absolutely incredible night. Once again, everything was truly perfect. You and your staff really know how to run a perfect Bat Mitzvah. All the details were handled for us, and Mark and I truly were able to enjoy the night with our guests. The food was delicious. The service was excellent. And Smitty and the dancers were amazing. They really kept the party moving and had the kids entertained the entire time. Jess was so happy. And our family and friends were extremely complimentary that night and even the next day of how great everything was. If you have any prospective clients who want to talk to a reference, I’d be happy to talk to them. Thank you again for a truly amazing party.

Dear Lisa,
Sofia’s Bat Mitzvah was everything we could have ever hoped for and more! From the moment we walked in, until the final song, everything ran smoothly and went off without a hitch. Sam greeted us at the door and immediately offered to get my husband a drink from the bar while I changed my dress in the bathroom. We knew then, that we were in great hands and we would get to just enjoy the party with our guests. Devin was so upbeat and friendly and shifted gears many times throughout the party to ensure that Sofia and all of her friends were having a blast. The dance floor was filled, pictures were taken, lots of amazing food was eaten and my heart is full. Thank you for taking care of every single detail and for ensuring that we hosted a fun, meaningful, personalized and stress free celebration! We will be back in two years for our younger son’s Bar Mitzvah and will recommend Powerhouse to all of our friends and family.
Warmly,

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.

Just wanted to take a moment to thank you and the entire Ultra Lounge staff for an “AWE-SAM” Night! Sam’s Bar Mitzvah this weekend was awesome to say the least and thank you for all of the work that you and your team put in to help make it special. I appreciate all of the time that you spent to make sure every detail was correct and that when we arrived it was show time! We had some foodies in attendance and they loved all of the food that we served and had nothing but compliments. Devin and the rest of the entertainment team did a great job of keeping the energy high the entire night seamlessly ensuring that both Kids and Adults were up on the dance floor having a good time. Basically from top to bottom, Sam’s party was a success and you can count on us returning in 2025 for our next Mitzvah!
Thanks again!
We will be in touch soon to pencil us in for 2025. 🙂

This was our second event working with you and once again you did not disappoint! Working with you from the very beginning was so effortless. You handled everything with ease! Then taking us to the actual day of the event – it was just perfect! The food was amazing – everyone is still talking about how delicious it was! And we had Devin again as our Emcee – he is AMAZING! His energy kept the entire party moving the entire time! We had our party in the new outdoor tent and it is so beautiful! With the balloons to match our black and white color scheme – it just made the room! You and your staff were all hands on and again – can’t thank you enough! Thank you!! The night was just perfect! The smile on my daughter’s face throughout the night made it all worth it – and thanks to you, Devin and the rest of the staff –
THANK YOU!!!

Richard’s 60th Surprise Birthday
Hi Lisa,
I hope all is well. I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you and everyone else from Powerhouse that made my daughter’s Bat mitzvah celebration the most amazing party ever. Smitty truly outdid himself. We couldn’t have asked for a better MC or entertainer. He went above and beyond to make sure all of the children were actively engaged and enjoying themselves as well as all of the adults. The dancers Francesca and Evan were phenomenal and the DJ was incredible. The robot was over the top. He came in and at first my daughter was a bit confused and wondered what was going on, but after the initial shock was over, she and her friends, as well as many, many adults, partied hard and thoroughly enjoyed the robot. Had I known that the robot was such a tremendous success I might have paid for a double session or maybe spacing it apart or keeping it for a bit longer which I know may be have been difficult for the person inside of the suit. But let me tell you the amount of people that raved about it I can’t even begin to express. Over the past four days since the party, I have received so so many compliments and people asking where did I get such an incredible group of entertainers?
Thank you ,thank you , thank you for being simply the best! My daughter keeps saying it was so worth the wait.
Thank you Lisa.

I would like to say after almost 2 years in the making as well as the covid pandemic my daughters party arrived. I would like to say a big thank you to Lisa Messing for putting up with me during the pandemic. Lisa you are one of the nicest and patient woman that I have ever met. Your professionalism was and is outstanding. You accommodated me thru every little detail that I requested as well as 4, 5 and 6th times postponing the dates for this party hoping they would lift the lock down on large crowds. I always said to you “If this party doesn’t happen then I will be using it for my wedding”…lol. You kepted your cool when my anxiety was up in the clouds. You always told me to calm down and everything will be just fine.. Never to “Worry”… You were always reassuring and made me feel good. You are a great business woman and host and now I consider you to be my good friend…xoxo
I would like to say thank you Power House Studios to having my daughters party.. I would like to thank each and everyone Lisa, Lori, Sam, Anthony, Evan and Mars for participating in my daughters event.. As well as all the other staff which I don’t know their names, but nevertheless all helped out in making my daughter’s party magical.
I never seen my daughter so happy and felt like the world evolved around her for that one night of magic…she was princess for the night!!
The food was delicious everyone especially myself loved It. The best part was taking the food home and continuing to eat again for the next few days…
The lighting the décor was awesome the whole atmosphere came to life, the visual effects: the smoke screen when the court and my daughter came out in surprise. Also for the father daughter dance when it began to snow when we danced. All the staff members did a wonderful job.. Till this day we still talk about the party.
Thank you Evan for being our Emcee.. you did an outstanding job.. Everyone talked about you how well you did from start to finish… you kept everyone in motion.
Thank you Mars for being our photographer. You did a great job taking photos with everyone and for making our daughter Trinity one special young lady though out the evening.
Thank you again Lisa messing for putting up with me and for all last minute revisions. You did a fantastic job arranging and accommodating us in every which way you can…
Again thank you all for all you have done.. Power House Studios I hope to come celebrate again in one of the three party areas…
Love you all

The kids were SO happy, and I’m still getting texts from parents thanking us for the smiles their kids came home with.
Matt, Jaime, and Smitty were AMAZING, with an extra nod to Smitty for doing such an amazing job keeping the kids entertained, laughing, and having the best time. It’s been a long time since a lot of these children have had the opportunity to commune with each other and connect with their peers.

Dear Sam,
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,

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

Everyone had a great time and very impressed with the venue. I passed on your number to another mom who is going to be doing a sweet 16 for her daughter. She loved the venue. We will be putting in a 5* Google review during the week. Thank you again for all your time and help. By the way Anthony is amazing. Very attentive and accommodating.

Hi Lisa,
I wanted to take this time to thank you and your staff for the amazing evening and celebration held in my daughter’s honor on this past Friday. You yourself were extremely kind, courteous, helpful, and sweet in helping me to organize this epic occasion!! I use the word epic because it was just that! Your staff was fantastic!! Sam was phenomenal, along with the DJ, the bar tender, wait staff, and photo booth attendant!! They were hard working, pleasant, generous, and kind!! They ensured that Arianna, along with all of her guests had an amazing time!! I can’t tell you how much my guests absolutely loved every moment of that night. The phone literally won’t stop ringing about your beautiful venue, to the amazing food, to the fantastic music, and overall great experience!! I again can’t thank you all enough for making this night so remarkable and memorable for my daughter!!
God bless you all and thank you again!!

We had such a fantastic time. Sam, Devin, and all the staff were wonderful. I love the guy at the front door. And I felt badly for the woman who was outside with the donuts. Had I known or someone asked, I would’ve happily had her inside so she wasn’t freezing. Our guests all had a great time. Thank you for the help in planning.

Hello!
So let me start with saying Kudos to your whole staff at the East Hanover location. From the minute we met Anthony when we dropped off the favors, etc earlier in the week, he put my mind at ease. He continued to be the best support from beginning to end of our event. I truly can’t say enough good things about him. DJ Mario was incredible. Kept everyone dancing and was a delight. Happy and a true fun presence. The bar tender was on point. Saw me coming and had what I wanted in hand already! Ha! The woman making smoothies was super pleasant. Everyone on staff was on top of the food, nothing ever looked empty. And the photographer!!!!!!!!!!! Wow!! He was so awesome!! What a fantastic job he did. This morning EVERYONE asked about how they can get the pictures!! He kept us all entertained all night. Your staff is worth their weight in gold. Please forward this email to whomever in charge that needs to see it. I really hope you can give everyone who worked our party a huge thank you from us! Also thank you for guiding me along the way since I first contacted to in May. I can’t believe this party is over already! I really wish there was more to say than Thank you. It doesn’t seem enough!! THANK YOU!!!

Our event was spectacular. It was very well planned, and the kids and adults had FUN. Anthony was helpful and attentive the entire evening plus the two days prior to Cooper’s bar mitzvah. Devin is such an asset to the Powerhouse Team. He really kept the large crowd of kids engaged. The photographer was exceptional, and the best part was that the photos were on the big screen during the party.

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!

I wanted to send you a note to let you know what a terrific time we had at the party. Olivia was so happy, and everyone agreed it was a wonderful night. So many people helped to make this such a special night for Olivia, especially you and your “Dora”! I truly appreciated your care and personal service with the last minute gluten-free meal, and I saw that care reflected in the others who worked that night. I received a lot of compliments on the venue and the food — the sliders were a huge hit (of course, the one thing I didn’t try! 🙂
All in all, a great time.

I didn’t have a chance to get back to you before but wanted to write you this note to let you know everything went fine at the party. My favorites from your team are Steve (Emcee) and Jim (security). I worked with them both before at Ethan celebration and they are excellent. Steve knows really well how to conduct a party and managed the kids wonderfully! Jim is absolutely great also. I am very keen on security and Jim made sure I was comfortable with security indoors and outdoors.
Thank you for all your work. Have a great week end.

They also had a plan in place immediately for the party to slowly begin and gear up within a new timeline. From there it was smooth sailing. Smitty was incredible as usual and one of Emma’s friends said she wanted him for her wedding! Thank you so much for all your help Lisa! I will continue to recommend powerhouse to everyone I know.

I am just reaching out to say thank you for an amazing night. My daughter had the time of her life, she was floating on a cloud for days. Her friends all commented it was the BEST Sweet 16 they had ever been to, and that is saying a lot since she is the youngest in her grade! My family marveled at how well the event was run by your staff and how the adults were separate yet together with the teens. Anthony was AMAZING and Powerhouse Studios is very lucky to have him. He made the evening a huge success, as did the DJ, security guard, waitresses and bartender. I could not have asked for a better evening for my daughter. I highly recommend your venue to anyone, and again THANK YOU!

Dear Nicole,
I thought I should get my words into an email while everything from Saturday is still fresh in my mind. I am blown away by just how special and amazing Ben’s party was at Powerhouse. When you told me not to worry, that everything would go off without a hitch, that you’d done this thousands of times, I wanted to believe you because I really wanted a worry free party. But it’s not in my nature to not worry so I insisted on meetings far in advance and asked a million questions. You were always patient, always accommodating and reassured me more than once that I really didn’t have to worry about anything. And of course, you were 100% right. From the decor to the food to the music, to the party itself, not one thing was out of place and there was not one thing that anyone in our family had to worry about except for having fun. I could not be happier that we chose to use Evan for our MC. He was great with the kids and made Ben feel so special. And Devon and Jackie as back up dancers were fantastic. Thank you for all of the little touches that I asked for – making the mother/son dance extra special and ensuring that the correct song was played, laying out the candy table so beautifully, making sure that everyone was sitting and paying attention to the montage, and capturing Ben’s logo in so many places around the room and having his theme shine through so perfectly. And it’s not just me thanking you. It’s all my guests as well who each individually came up to me to tell me how much they loved the food, how much fun they were having and how cool of a space it was. You truly gave us a party that we will never forget!!!

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.

As she wrote me last night at 1:30, she said it was the greatest night of her life and one she will always remember. It was everything she had hoped for and more.

Dear Nicole,
I just wanted to write and tell you Powerhouse did such an amazing job with Alexis’ Bat-Mitzvah. One of my own clients had their son’s Bar-Mitzvah at your venue and they raved about you guys; so I knew we would be happy, too!
It all started in the months before the party. You were so easy to deal with, there was no pressure on the $, everything was laid out very clearly and you were super responsive on emails.
And then the big day. I was the first to arrive and the rooms were ready well ahead of time, Everything from the color scheme (which matched Alexis’ dress), the layout of the space and I was able to get all my questions answered before the Bat-Mitzvah service started.
And once the event began, it was perfect. There was a smooth transition to the cocktail hour, which was executed perfectly as the service room was transformed behind the scenes into the dance floor. Everything was timed perfectly, there were plenty of staff on hand and there was plenty of time for the kids to dance.
I also loved the multiple video screens and the cool design. I made Alexis’ entrance video, so I paid extra special attention. And thankfully, it was loud enough for everyone to hear and there were no glitches on playback.
Thanks again to the entire staff for exceeding our expectations for Alexis’ Bat-Mitzvah. I would recommend you in a heartbeat. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
Sincerely,

Hi Lisa,
I just wanted to follow up and let you know how thrilled we were with how everything went on Saturday. Kate and her friends had a blast! Anthony and his team were just fantastic – on top of everything, constantly checking in with us to let us know what was happening and to see if we needed anything, and completely flexible to move some things around when Kate wanted to make a few changes during the event. Every staff member we encountered was friendlier and more helpful than the next! My 5 year old son was a handful, but Devin and the dancers were all over it, paying attention to him (and more importantly keeping him out of Kate’s hair)! Jim was fantastic, as was the bartender (whose name I didn’t catch) and the photo attendant. Just all first class. They really helped make this event so special for Kate and all of our guests.
Thank you for all of your help, and please relay to Sam, Anthony and the team how pleased we were with everything!

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!

Dearest Nicole,
This email is LONG overdue but I wanted to take this time to sincerely thank you and your team for making our daughter’s 6th birthday that took place on 4/27/2019 beyond incredible.
As someone who routinely hosts our daughter’s birthdays at wedding/party venues I can honestly say your venue was by far the MOST amazing experience from start to finish.
Your expertise, attention to detail and involvement in the operation of the party was so reassuring that even for a detail oriented, obsessive and compulsive mom like me…there was nothing to oversee…you oversaw everything.
Your staff was beyond friendly and attentive, your food was fabulous ( I continue to get compliments on that) and the entertainment…..no words….EMCEE Smitty was the LIFE of the PARTY. Everyone now wants Smitty at their party.
There really are no words, thank you falls so short. All I can say is we will be back and sing your praises to guests that seek the level of amazingness and excellence you and your team offer.
Our most heartfelt thank you

I just wanted to thank you again for such a magical, fun, amazing party! I just received all of the pictures from the photo booth and had the best time looking at them! Thank you for sending all of them! Anthony, everyone is still talking about what an amazing host you were! Everyone said you were so attentive and kind and ran the party so so smoothly! I am grateful for your hard work! At one of the kids’ practices yesterday, my friends said, “we should chip in and rent that place out once every couple months and have a party!” Haha!

The brisket and sliders, especially, people were raving about. We have our twins boys bar mitzvah October 8, 2022. We are going to start planning that at some point when I can catch my breath. We will have more people at that one and might need a bigger space so I’m thinking maybe Vegas? Is the date available for afternoon party or evening that Saturday / weekend?

As usual the Spring Fling was a tremendous success. All of the “kids” had a great time and could have danced all night. Smitty is amazing – he really understands our kids and goes above and beyond for them. I think he has as much fun with them as they do with him.
Anthony, the manager also went above and beyond to make sure that everyone had a great time. We’re hoping to come in and meet with you in the next few weeks to talk about next year’s event.

Hi Lisa,
Wow! First, it was a pleasure working with you for the past couple of years. You set us up in the right direction, and always calmed me (mom) down during moments of freak out! For the actual event, Powerhouse knows how to throw a party! We cannot express how grateful we were to Anthony. He (and Sam) understood our vision and requests, and made a seamless party that we did not have to worry about one thing. Anthony was professional, kind, and an overall wonderful manager who is clearly seasoned at his job. Devin and Jackie were an absolute hit! As the faces of the party, they kept everyone entertained beyond our imagine. For all the other “behind the scenes” staff members, they worked hard in keeping the place clean, organized, and the party flowing. The food was delicious, the music was fun, and the atmosphere was stimulating. All of our guests cannot stop raving about it… especially our daughter, Jordan…. it was a dream come true for her!! Thank you for making the evening celebration an exJORDANary event : )

We knew that Rachel’s bat mitzvah would be great, but you and your staff at Powerhouse Studios went above and beyond. It truly exceeded our expectations! We are still receiving texts and phone calls from family and friends. They can’t stop raving about the event including: the delicious food, flawless service, décor, the friendly photographer (Brian), emcee (Sabrina) and motivating dancers (Francesca and Evan).
Nicole, you were always available, calm and organized. You answered my numerous questions and provided me with the re-assurance and information I needed. On the night of the event you catered to Rachel. She was the star of the night and felt comfortable and at ease when she was with you. As long as she was happy, Marc and I were happy!
Thanks to you and your staff, everything made it home with us in one trip. It was such a relief to know that everything was packed up and delivered to the car. We were truly able to sit back, dance and enjoy this momentous occasion from start to finish. I wish I could hit rewind and do it again!

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.

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 so much to you and the whole Powerhouse staff for an amazing experience today! From start to finish—perfection! Anthony was so attentive and especially knowledgeable and accommodating of Jordan’s allergies. Jordan loved that he could eat so much of the food! The food was amazing! So many compliments. The salmon in particular, and the grilled vegetables Mediterranean platter in the appetizers. Everything, honestly! My mom remarked on how attentive all the servers were, and she was especially impressed that the servers with the pass-around appetizers offered them to the adults who were sitting at the tables during cocktail hour, not just to the people standing up.
So many compliments on Smitty, of course! He was nonstop! And paced things perfectly! He read the crowd of kids very well and kept them interested and engaged. The adults loved that he would walk amongst them and chat to them too. And the man at the front door was great at keeping an eye out for the kids.
Loved every minute of it! We all did! My son’s smile says it all!
(I will definitely be writing a glowing review in the next few days in Yelp and the Bar/Bat Mitz Planning NJ Facebook page. Please let me know where else I should post.)

Victoria’s Sweet 16 at Vegas NJ was absolutely amazing. Your staff was extremely professional and very attentive to the adults as well as the kids. The DJ and photographer were EXCELLENT. I can’t wait to have another party there. All of my friends said it was the best party ever and asked if we could do it again. Normally you wouldn’t expect the food to be good, but it was great..including the warm chocolate chip cookies. I really look forward to having my next party there.
Thank you for everything!

Lisa!!!
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.
Sincerely,
The Rosario Family

Dear Nicole,
We can barely express how unbelievable Saturday night’s event was for our family and friends! Everyone was raving. Smitty is Da Man!! What a gem! We have heard back from many parents saying that their kids had the best time and that they loved Smitty! And many of our friends and family said this was one of their top bar mitzvah’s ever!
We can not thank you enough for everything leading up to the event Nicole, and for taking such good care of us during the evening.
All Our Best,
P.S. If you need Thriller video let me know, we have it!!

Hi Lisa,
It was PERFECT….everything was wonderful. I really can’t thank you enough for all of your hard work and for a perfect party that everyone had a great time at. Anthony was just above and beyond and was really accommodating and “got” all the little details that made it great. He ran the show and I knew I didn’t need to worry. The music was exactly what Zach wanted and what the kids liked. The food was exceptionally good. To be honest, I was having more of a kids party so the adults weren’t really expecting anything from the food and EVERYONE commented that the food was EXCELLENT! It really was a great party. My son just LOVED it and said it was more fun than he even expected.
Smitty is BEYOND amazing and the dancers were GREAT. Loved Jackie and Evan! They were fun and sweet and got the kids motivated.
I also MUST comment on the photographer Brian. I am a HUGE picture person and was concerned because I never met, spoke to or gave any instruction to Brian. But HE GOT IT! I saw some of the pictures on the screen and can already tell what a great job he did. Not to mention he has the BEST personality and got my situation (divorce etc) immediately and handled everything with care.
Those hot chocolate chip cookies were the talk of the party! AMAZING!
I am going to go on the Livingston moms Bar Mitzvah site and rave about all of you and will do the same on yelp etc! It was perfect. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Last question, when will the pictures be ready and how do I get them?
Thank you again!!!
