Top 5 Mitzvah DJs and Entertainment Trends for 2025 to Elevate Your Celebration
Planning a mitzvah in New York is not the kind of thing you want to get wrong.
Guests remember the music. They remember the energy in the room. They remember whether it felt like just another party or the kind of night people still talk about years later.
So here’s the question. How do you design a celebration that feels like 2025, not 2015?
It starts with event entertainment.
The right DJ can turn a room into a movement. The wrong one leaves half the crowd staring at their phones. And with new tech, new styles, and new ways of engaging a multi-generational crowd, mitzvah entertainment in 2025 has gone way beyond simple playlists and disco lights.
Let’s break it down.
The DJs Everyone’s Talking About
You don’t just want someone who presses play. You want someone who reads a room, manages the flow, and knows when to turn tradition into a full-on party moment.
These are the names you’ll hear whispered when families compare notes at school drop-off or cocktail hours.
DJ Ryan Vandal
If experience counts, Ryan’s your guy. With over 1,000 gigs from NYC to Vegas, he knows how to read a crowd like a pro and keep the dance floor moving all night.

DJ Avi Goldstein
Master of transitions. Seamless mixes from Israeli classics to house beats. He builds energy without ever losing cultural nuance.
DJ Rachel Klein
Crowd whisperer. She pulls guests in with interactive sets, live polls, and social media walls that make teens feel seen and adults feel included.
DJ Max Cohen
High voltage. Think precision timing, synchronized lighting, and video walls that react to the music. It’s theater-level production wrapped into one performance.
DJ Sarah Levine
She gets the dance floor packed. Curated playlists. Thoughtful MC hosting. Family-friendly without ever feeling tame.
DJ Eli Rosen
Innovation meets tradition. Silent discos. Motion-activated lights. And the ability to drop a hora that somehow feels brand new.

A full-experience team with high-energy DJs, charismatic MCs, and custom enhancements. If you want layers, EK knows how to stack them.
Silver Lining Entertainment
Reliable, professional, and fun. They take favorite songs and elevate them into electric, room-shaking experiences.
Each one has their own lane, but they share a common thread. They’re not just playing music. They’re engineering experiences.
What’s Trending in 2025
This year’s mitzvahs aren’t about keeping guests entertained. They’re about pulling them in. Making them feel like part of the story.
Immersive Play
Forget sitting on the sidelines. Guests are in dance-offs, VR booths, or even gamified challenges. Participation isn’t optional. It’s irresistible.
Tech That Stuns
3D projection mapping on walls. LED tunnels synced to the beat. Live-feed screens catching grandma dancing with the teens. It’s spectacle with substance.
Unexpected Collaborations
DJs pairing with live musicians, beatboxers, or even aerial performers. The kind of mashups that surprise guests in the best way.
Personalization Everywhere
Music reflecting heritage. Visuals tailored to the family’s story. Even the cocktail napkins feel intentional. The cookie-cutter mitzvah is over.
Balance of Tradition and Trend
Yes, the hora is still here. But layered with mashups, remixes, or lighting effects that make a classic feel fresh.
Choosing the Right Fit
Here’s the inside scoop. The best DJs aren’t just booked for their skills. They’re booked because they know how to mirror the family’s energy.
Ask them about past mitzvahs. Ask how they blend traditional songs with modern tracks. Ask about backup plans.
Because anyone can look good on Instagram. But only the pros know how to handle 200 guests with three different generations of music taste and keep everyone on their feet.
Budget still matters. Tech packages can add up fast. Decide early if you want VR setups or immersive lighting, or live musicians layered on top. Build a cushion for surprises. Because there will be surprises.
