A Bat Mitzvah planner who brings her vision to life
When the vision comes straight from the guest of honor, you know it's going to be something special.

Recent Bat Mitzvah celebrations include New York, New York at Temple Beth El, a gymnastics theme at the Charlotte Marriott City Center, a beach club at The Ballantyne Hotel, Winter in Paris at Carmel Country Club, a glow party, a tropical summer soiree at The Ruth and teal, silver and white elegance at the Marriott Waverly.
What's included in Bat Mitzvah planning
- Her vision, your budget. Mood boards, color palettes and a theme she is proud of, inside a plan you are comfortable with.
- Venue and vendors. Synagogues, hotels, country clubs and unique Charlotte venues, with Heather's trusted team of DJs, lighting designers, balloon artists, florists, photographers, videographers, caterers and photo booths.
- Design and details. Entrances, marquee letters, tablescapes, candle lighting, sign-in boards, charm bars, swag and the personalized touches guests notice.
- The party. Dance boxes, video walls, 360 booths, cotton candy, ice cream carts and a dance floor that stays packed.
- Weekend logistics. Service, luncheon, Shabbat dinner, host hotels and out-of-town family, on one calm timeline.
- Day-of coordination. Heather runs the room so you can be fully present.
Heather also plans two celebrations in one space in one day, luncheons that become showstoppers and intimate morning celebrations. Serving Charlotte, Ballantyne, South Charlotte, Matthews, Weddington, Waxhaw, Lake Norman, Fort Mill and Rock Hill. Planning a Bar Mitzvah too?

Bat Mitzvah planning questions
When should we start planning a Bar or Bat Mitzvah in Charlotte?
Most families reach out 12 to 18 months before the date, once the synagogue has assigned it. Popular Charlotte venues and the most requested DJs, photographers and decor vendors book up for spring and fall weekends well in advance, so earlier is easier. That said, Heather has pulled together beautiful celebrations on much shorter timelines, so if your date is close, reach out anyway.
What does a Mitzvah planner actually do?
Heather handles the whole picture: the vision and theme, a realistic budget, venue selection, building and managing the vendor team, the design of the room, the weekend timeline (service, luncheon, Shabbat dinner, party), communication with every vendor, and day-of coordination so you can be fully present. You make the decisions, she makes them easy.
Do you only plan Bar and Bat Mitzvahs?
Bar and Bat Mitzvahs are the focus of Razzle Dazzle Event Planning, and that focus is the point: Heather knows the Charlotte synagogues, the venues, the vendors and the rhythm of a Mitzvah weekend inside and out. She also plans B'nai Mitzvahs, double celebrations, luncheons and morning celebrations. For anything else, just ask.
Which areas do you serve?
Heather is based in Charlotte, NC and plans celebrations across the area: Ballantyne, South Charlotte, SouthPark, Uptown, Matthews, Weddington, Waxhaw, Lake Norman, and Fort Mill and Rock Hill in South Carolina.
Do you have to use your vendors?
No. Heather has a trusted team she recommends because they deliver, communicate and work well together, including ATG Entertainment for DJ, lighting and photo booths. If you already have a photographer, a caterer or a DJ you love, she will fold them into the team.
