WHY HIGHER GROUND MITZVAHS
ARE THE BEST MITZVAHS. PERIOD.
Some mitzvah DJs are great at mixing, while others excel in their speaking skills & engaging 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.

HEAR WHAT THEY'RE SAYING
"DON'T BOTHER WASTING YOUR TIME OR DOLLARS RESEARCHING ANYTHING ELSE! BEN AND THE TEAM AT HIGHER GROUND ARE A++ AND KNOW HOW TO PRODUCE THE PERFECT MITZVAH. "
"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
"Mason KILLED it!!! He was the best DJ I've ever witnessed, hands down. 5's across the board. No, make that 10's!"
Aviv C.
"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!"
Robyn G.
"Mason KILLED it!!! He was the best DJ I've ever witnessed, hands down. 5's across the board. No, make that 10's! His friendliness, his helpfulness, his attention to detail... He also featured in one of my favorite memories of the night, when he led the Footloose dance. It tickled me to see him dancing up a storm with mic in hand, switching between intricate footwork and emcee duties. It was Mason who made that party the best party I've ever thrown! He is worth every penny we paid.
I highly recommend Mason and Higher Ground to anyone who asks about a DJ!!"
