Making a Bris in Lakewood

A bris is arranged in days, not months, so almost everything about booking one is about what is free right now. Most are in a shul room straight after davening, with a buffet rather than a served meal, which caterers sell by the pan so it scales to whoever turns up. It is the simcha where being able to see real availability saves the most time.

What to book

1. Kosher Caterers in Lakewood. Bought by the pan rather than per person, since the headcount is never exact.
2. Simcha Halls in Lakewood. Usually the shul's own room. A simcha hall works for a larger bris.
3. Simcha Photographers in Lakewood. An hour of coverage is the normal booking.
4. Dessert Tables & Sweet Tables in Lakewood. Cake and fruit platters to round out the buffet.

Worth knowing

• Order more than you think for a morning bris. Numbers are the hardest thing to predict and the food goes early.
• Ask what time the caterer can deliver. A bris after davening leaves a narrow window for setup.
• Check whether the room needs to be cleared for the next minyan. It often does.
