The Secret to Great Music at Every Bar & Bat Mitzvah Party

Every Bar & Bat Mitzvah party has a unique challenge built in: two very different age groups—and they don’t always agree on the music.


Kids want trending tracks from TikTok, pop, and hip hop. Adults want throwbacks, wedding favorites, and songs they can sing along to. And while the adults might hit the floor for an ‘80s classic, that doesn’t mean the kids will. And vice versa.


This is where our XWaveEvents DJs shine. Balancing both groups isn’t just possible—it’s what we do best.

1. It Starts With Getting to Know You

Every successful party begins with a great conversation. Before the big day, we’ll talk with you about your crowd—your family, your guests, and most importantly, your Bar or Bat Mitzvah child.


We’ll ask:

  • Who’s attending? Mostly kids, mostly adults, or a solid mix?

  • Is it more important to get the kids dancing, the adults, or both?

  • Are there must-play songs or genres that feel like “you”?


With this insight—and our experience from countless events—we’ll build a custom musical journey that suits your crowd. And of course, we’ll read the room in real time and adjust the energy throughout the night to keep everyone engaged.


2. Let’s Talk Hora

No Bar or Bat Mitzvah party is complete without the Hora—and we treat it like the moment it is.


It’s one of the few times everyone—kids, adults, even grandparents—joins hands, forms a circle, and celebrates in a way that’s joyful, energetic, and deeply Jewish. It’s loud, it’s meaningful, and yes—it makes the grandparents kvell.


We’ve led Horas at hundreds of events, and we know exactly how to kick it off and keep the momentum going. Whether you’re thinking quick and fun or full-on chair-lift celebration, we’ll guide the moment and make it unforgettable.


3. For the Adults: We’ve Got You

Our DJs don’t just do Bar & Bat Mitzvahs—we’re seasoned pros at weddings, private parties, and high-end events. So when it comes to the adult side of the dance floor, we know how to get people moving.


Whether your guests enjoy classic rock, disco, '80s hits, Motown, pop, or a mix of genres, our DJs know how to read the room and respond in real time. Combined with what we’ve learned during our planning conversations, we tailor the music to keep the adult crowd engaged, energized, and on the dance floor.


4. For the Kids: Let’s Customize It

Every kid is different—and every friend group has their own “go-to” songs. That’s why we invite you (and your child) to help us build the perfect playlist.


We’ll ask your child to create a Spotify playlist with songs they and their friends love. (Bonus: it also gets their friends hyped for the big day.) It helps us get their vibe—and ensures that the party feels personal, like it was made just for them. We’ll blend those songs into the flow, keeping the energy just right and the kids fully engaged.


5. Our Signature Bar & Bat Mitzvah Music Approach

At XWaveEvents, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all playlists. We take the time to understand your family’s musical tastes, your child’s favorite tracks, and the makeup of your guest list. Then we use our expertise to craft a music set that feels completely personalized—from the first beat to the final dance.
