2) DJ recommendations (who specialize in Bat & Bar Mitzvahs)
3) Photographer
4) Videographer
5) If all else fails... a profession Event Planner (who specialize in Mitzvah events)

Demon & Doyle dj hundreds of B’nai Mitzvah every year. Did both of my kids
I highly recommend Barbara Butkus Photography (https://barbarabutkus.com). She photographed my daughter’s bat mitzvah ceremony and party. She was very respectful and unobtrusive during the ceremony and followed directions from the rabbi for where and when she could photograph. Her photos of the party were a wonderful blend of posed and candids. She has a great eye and outstanding technical skills.
1) Northbrae Community Church (non-denominational) - both our girls were Bat Mitavah'd there and it worked out great with the chapel and hall. We had a taco setup for one and pizza for the other, both in the parking lot between the chapel and hall.
2) I sadly can't remember the name of the guy we hired.

4) Enlisted a talented friend with a tripod and gave him a generous gift card when he refused money.
