DJ and MC services
​specializing in  B'nei Mitzvah Celebrations 

Are you ready to bring the party to your B’nai Mitzvah celebration? I'm DJ Jen, and I love to DJ at B'mitzvah parties.  With 30 years of experience as a Jewish Educator, event planner, musician, and dancer, I have all the skills to not only play the music you love, but to help create the kind of atmosphere that makes a truly memorable event. I take extra care to create a uniquely personalized experience for each client, by listening carefully to the needs of the young adult and their family.  

Here’s what you get when you book DJ Jen:

The Music: I’ve got everything from classic party jams to today’s hottest hits — all with the perfect mix to get your crowd moving. Whether it’s the Hora or the latest pop dance track. I go to great lengths to personalize every music set to meet the needs of the young adult and their guests. 
State-of-the-Art Equipment: High-quality sound gear and DJ equipment to make sure your music sounds as amazing as the energy you’re bringing!
The Energy: From leading the Cupid Shuffle to leading a Havdallah ceremony, I’ll keep the vibe flowing seamlessly from the dance floor to the meaningful moments with every aspect tailored to your specific requests and needs. 
Event Planning: With years of event planning and performing under my belt, I will work together with you to help you plan the flow of your event before-hand and keep your event running smoothly, from start to finish.
MC you can Trust:   I am skilled with working diverse families. Whether you or someone in your family is  on a neuro-divergent spectrum or somewhere on the gender spectrum, I bring sensitivity, awareness, and inclusive language when guiding every party.

So, if you're looking for someone who knows how to hype the party, guide your guests in connective dances and experiences, and make sure your B'nai Mitzvah is one of the most meaningful events of your life, 
Let’s chat!

Letter of thanks from a client: "My family has left town and I have some time and space to reflect.  It was an amazing event.  You really did a fabulous job of reading the room, keeping the energy moving, making sure fun was in the air.  Everyone had a great time.  Thank you so much for stepping into this role so that we could experience a Bat Mitzvah that was resonant for my daughter.  She said it was the best night of her life."  -Lauren T
Thanks to Jen, my son’s Bar Mitzvah celebration was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone in attendance – from toddler, to teen, to grandparent. From our first pre-event meeting, I could tell that Jen would work carefully to create a vibe and music list that would fit our particular crowd-and I was right. From the hora to the last few songs of the party, people were on the dance floor dancing and enjoying each other and the music. She was committed to pleasing my son’s specific tastes while also catering to everyone and she hit the mark. She also was able to help me think through the flow of the party. Her ideas worked well and we had several attendees comment on how smoothly things went. I would highly recommend Jen!-  Janie R.
I was recently at a party Jen Altman was DJ-ing for and it was EPIC! She had an amazing sense of flow and played an incredibly diverse range of music that had us all on the dancefloor and fully engaged the whole set! I will definitely be hiring her for any of my parties!! - Miriam P


I was recently at a party that Jen DJed and I literally danced the entire time!
She was able to play a unique mix of music that was great for dancing and great for all ages. 
She even had a Beyonce Madonna mix that blew my mind! I highly suggest hiring Jen for your next party!

We love DJ Jen! Jen brings to the table not only excellent skill and savvy when it comes to DJing but also great vibes and stellar communication throughout the whole process. She has an excellent sense of overview and ability to read the crowd and craft the right next song to elevate, enliven, and keep the party jamming! Jen is so fun to watch in action and exudes a love of the craft of DJing. In addition, it is simply inspiring and such a pleasure to see a rockin' woman in this role! She is fire! -Sara B​
We absolutely love DJ Jen.  She is a great listener and puts together set lists that are spot on for what we requested.  She is easy to work with, super fun and just gets the assignment every time.  - Alissa H​
DJ Jen blew me away with her amazingly danceable playlist and smooth groove transitions!  ​
Her energy is so playful and joyous it's almost impossible not to join the party.
I haven't had so much fun dancing in a long time, and I would recommend DJ Jen for any occasion!- Rachel V
