Hello, it’s nice to meet you.

I’m Tom, a DJ, event planner and director at ST Events. Our story started 10 years ago when I began my mission to take a fresh approach to Simcha entertainment.

I’m here to guide you through the process of planning and executing an unforgettable bat / bar mitzvah. Venue finding, stage and set design, lighting and sound production, entertainment - whatever you need.

Let’s start planning the event of a lifetime!

djs

Our exclusive team of DJs have years of industry experience and know how to balance a perfect mix of chart hits, dancefloor classics and traditional Israeli music to keep the dancefloor busy all night.

Confident hosting, lively Israeli dancing sets and seamless mixing, all the skills required to ensure the good vibes keep on coming. We are the only place to get the finest BarMitzvah DJs, whether you’re partying in North London or further afield.

photobooths

Pretty much a must-have at any bat / bar mitzvah, the photobooth has been a long standing tradition and for good reason. You can choose between the classic booth, mirror, or the open-plan ‘Flashbox”.

Unlimited prints, props, guestbook and an online digital gallery so you can download all the photos after the event.

silent disco

Sometimes the kids will want to be on the dancefloor all night, music blaring. We support that but also your favourite aunty from Toronto is attending and you really want to catch up. Silent Disco is the answer.

Pop on these wireless headphones and use a handy little button to flick through 3 channels of music - Turning the party ‘on’ or ‘off’ as you please.

Perfect for those who finish dinner early and can’t wait to party!

You won’t find a better DJ than Tom from ST Events. He was calm and reassuring throughout the run-up, always quick to respond to my very many questions and genuinely lovely to deal with. On the day, he created a brilliant atmosphere with no cringe factor and kept everything running seamlessly. The kids loved him and so did the older folks. His professionalism and kindness were bar none - I’d highly recommend him.”

DJ + Live Music

DJ + Live Music 〰️

Your Mitzvah, Your Sound.

What makes a mitzvah truly unforgettable? The moment your guests realize they're experiencing something special and different. That's exactly what happens when you combine our professional DJ with live music. Saxophone is our most popular addition, here’s how it works:

Setting the scene:

As your guests arrive and settle in, our live saxophonist creates a sophisticated, welcoming atmosphere. Smooth jazz and contemporary classics set the perfect tone for an evening of celebration. Your guests immediately feel the quality and care you've put into curating the soundtrack for the evening.

Building the Energy:

When the reception is finished, it’s time to bring the energy up for some traditional dancing. Our DJ and sax player transition into a vibrant Israeli music set. The live sax adds an authentic, energetic layer to traditional favorites—the Hora, Israeli classics, and contemporary Hebrew music. Your guests don't just hear the music—they feel it. This is when the dancefloor comes alive. Families dance together. Generations connect. The live sax elevates every moment.

Party Time:

As the evening builds toward its peak, our DJ takes the lead with high-energy party music while the sax player weaves in and out, adding live flourishes to chart hits, dancefloor classics, and crowd favorites. The result? An energy that's impossible to replicate with a DJ alone. Your guests experience live music excitement combined with seamless DJ mixing. It's the perfect finale to an unforgettable night.

Every mitzvah is unique. Your entertainment should be too.

Saxophone is a great start but don’t stop there, why not fill your stage!

We offer complete flexibility to customize your live music experience. Do you want sax during the Israeli set but percussion during the party? Done. Want a singer for a special sing-along moment but a full band for the dancefloor? We can do that. Here's how it works:

1. Consultation: During your free consultation, we discuss your vision, budget, and what moments matter most to you.

2. Custom Plan: We create a custom entertainment plan that matches your vision and budget. You choose which musicians, which moments, and which combinations.

3. Coordination: Our team coordinates all musicians to work seamlessly together with your DJ. No conflicts. No confusion. Just perfect coordination.

4. Execution: On the night of your event, everything runs flawlessly. Your musicians transition smoothly, read the room together, and create the exact atmosphere you envisioned. The result? An entertainment experience that's completely customized to your family, your celebration, and your budget.

“The whole approach from first contact, through the planning and running of the event on the night was absolutely spot on. They completely understood the level of input I could manage and sympathetically guided me throughout. Could not have asked for more, would definitely use again!
