Making an Upsherin in Lakewood

An upsherin is a small, mostly informal simcha, often at home, in a shul room or at the cheder, with children making up much of the room. That changes what you book: food in trays rather than a served meal, a sweet table that works for children, and an hour of photography. Most are arranged a few weeks ahead.

What to book

1. Kosher Caterers in Lakewood. Trays and pans rather than a per-person seudah, since much of the room is children.
2. Dessert Tables & Sweet Tables in Lakewood. A sweet table built for children is the part people remember.
3. Simcha Halls in Lakewood. A small room, when it is not at home or at the cheder.
4. Simcha Photographers in Lakewood. An hour of coverage, usually informal.
5. Party Planners in Lakewood. Worth it if you want the room decorated rather than just fed.

Worth knowing

• Ask about delivery and setup if it is at home. That is where most of the effort actually goes.
• Count adults and children separately. Caterers price them differently and the mix is unusual here.
