Why Brooklake?

Ayla’s family had already hosted a previous bar mitzvah at Brooklake and returned because of the exceptional experience they’d had the first time. They loved:

  • The Flexible, Personable Staff
    Working closely with Peter, Brooklake’s team was ready to make changes on the fly, customize the menu, and accommodate special requests for an event that felt truly one-of-a-kind.
  • A Gorgeous, Neutral Palette
    With a tastefully neutral interior and the sweeping vistas of the golf course, Brooklake provides a “blank slate” for any theme. This allowed Lisa and Ayla’s family to layer in bright colors and creative design details without distraction.
  • Convenient Services & Amenities
    From a variety of linen choices to top-notch food and beverage options (including crowd-favorite sushi), Brooklake offered everything under one roof. This was particularly helpful for a bat mitzvah with around 70 adults and 85–90 kids in attendance.

Theme & Design Highlights

Ayla’s bat mitzvah wasn’t built around a single theme; rather, she wanted a bright pink palette, hearts, and bold neon details that would create a fun party atmosphere. Lisa delivered on every front:

  • Eye-Catching Florals
    Florist Irina Gosman designed gorgeous arrangements in hot pink, reds, and whites. Many of the centerpieces stood tall on modern gold stands, providing a dramatic touch without blocking conversation at the tables.
  • Chic Lounge Furniture
    By sourcing from Ambiance Lounge Decor, Lisa curated a combination of tufted pink seating, sleek white sofas, and pops of vibrant décor. This lounge-style setup gave kids and adults comfortable spaces to mingle, relax, and dance.
  • Custom Branding & Neon Sign
    With Ayla’s name and heart-inspired logos appearing on everything from cookie boxes to pillows and signage, the room felt cohesive and personal. The neon-lit “Ayla” sign was a standout piece, adding a trendy glow to the festivities.
  • Energetic Lighting
    Brooklake’s in-house lighting was set to shades of pink to match the color palette, creating an immersive, bright, and celebratory environment.
