Your Perfect Bar Mitzvah Playlist: Ultimate Throwback songs
Since bar and bat mitzvahs typically hosts guests of all ages, a good DJ knows how to cater to their audience, whether guests are comprised of thirteen-year-olds, seventy-year-olds, or anyone in between.
While the guest of honor will likely have a large say in what music is played, we also want to make sure everyone from the youngest to the oldest has something that caters to them.
