WHY HIGHER GROUND MITZVAHS
ARE THE BEST MITZVAHS. PERIOD.
Some mitzvah DJs are great at mixing, while others excel in interacting with teens. Some are masters of lighting design, music selection, and presentation while others prefer to focus on personalization, production, or event planning.
At Higher Ground, our focus is to excel at all of the above so that we can provide the gold standard in bar & bat mitzvah DJ entertainment.
We are a passionate and hardworking team of DJs, Event Hosts and dancers all working together towards one common goal: to create incredible entertainment experience & employment opportunities. It's why we got started in this business, and it's what keeps us aiming Higher.

We have been to a lot of bar and bat mitzvahs over the years, and have heard a lot of mitzvah DJs around the country. Naturally, we have seen the good, the bad and the ugly. All of this informs our style today, and helps us reach for something higher, delivering a unique experience to our bar & bat mitzvah DJ clients.

HEAR WHAT THEY'RE SAYING
"ABSOLUTE ROCKSTARS. THESE GUYS ARE GOING PLACES. THERE IS NO OTHER B'NAI MITZVAH DJ WORTH YOUR TIME."
"We can't recommend Higher Ground enough! We hired them for our son's Bar Mitzvah party, and Joel, Mason, and Freddy kept the tweens/teens AND grown-ups on the dance floor all night long! Joel was great at reading the room and playing songs that kept everyone engaged. Mason helped with the lighting planning and was on top of the lighting the whole night. Freddy was a wonderful DJ and kept everyone excited. We had people coming up to us afterwards and tell us it was the best Bar Mitzvah party they had ever been to. Definitely use this company for your wedding/Bar/Bat mitzvah/other event if you want everyone to have a great time!"
Sara S.
"DJ Mason absolutely crushed my son's Bar Mitzvah. He had the party started before we entered the ballroom and kept it running on high octane throughout the night. Kids loved it so much that they even put up with the adults crashing the dance floor. Cannot recommend Higher Ground highly enough."
RD S.
"Ben, Mason and the team pulled out all the stops for our son's Bar Mitzvah. Almost a year later and our friends still talk about how amazing the party was. Every one of every age had a blast and Ben read the room perfectly. He even did a Hora mashup out of a song I really wanted to play and it was perfection!! Right DJ + right crowd = magic."
Elisa S
"Ben and his team (we had opted for the party motivators also) at Higher Ground were fantastic MC's for our son's Bar Mitzvah celebration! They kept the kids active, entertained and engaged the entire four hours! And the party motivators dressed on theme without me even having to mention it (thank you to my awesome Event Coordinator BLC events for communicating that!)
I had numerous people come up to me during and since the event to comment how great our DJ was. I can't recommend them enough! You pay for what you get, and if you want an event where you don't have to worry about the flow of the evening, everything happening on time, and your guests feeling entertained, then Higher Ground is your best choice for DJ/MC of your event! I was able to enjoy the evening stress-free. (And yes, the music and sound quality was amazing too!)"
Denise S.
"Ben and the team at Higher Ground were fantastic to work with. They made planning easy and were incredibly receptive to our input. On-site at the event, Mason did a phenomenal job keeping the kids engaged and having fun, and the dance floor was packed with guests of all ages the whole night. We would highly recommend HGE in a heartbeat!"
