Israeli DJ & Hebrew-English MC — teens and family dancing all night
Your daughter's Bat Mitzvah is the celebration of everything she has become, and the entertainment sets the tone for the whole night. On Air Productions LA, led by Israeli DJ Gilad Emesh, brings a DJ and live MC to Bat Mitzvah parties across Los Angeles — filling the floor with the songs she loves while making every guest, from her school friends to grandparents visiting from Israel, feel like the party was built for them.
Hosting in Hebrew and English is available, so nothing gets lost in translation. Your DJ reads the room in real time, mixing today's pop, hip-hop and dance hits for the teens with Israeli and Hebrew sets that pull the adults onto the floor. The grand entrance, the candle lighting and every dedication are timed to the music and lighting so the emotional moments land and the energy never drops.
Because On Air Productions LA is a one-vendor full-production company, everything you need comes from a single team: DJ, MC, sound, dance-floor lighting, LED screens, a premium photo booth and live drummers. We plan the timeline with you, and the plan you make with us is exactly what happens on the night, so your family can simply enjoy the celebration knowing the entertainment is handled.
Her celebration draws on the same team and run of show as every party on our Bar Mitzvah DJ in Los Angeles page; here, everything is shaped around her.
What You Get
Written for Her
A Bat Mitzvah DJ plans the party around the girl at its center: her entrance, her music, the people she honors at the candle lighting and the friends she wants on the floor. Here is how each part of her night comes together.
She chooses the song and who walks in with her: parents and siblings, her closest friends, or the whole family first and then her alone. The MC introduces her the way she wants to be introduced, and the lighting and an LED wall with her name can be timed to her first step.
She builds the playlist with her friends, the current hits they dance to and the songs she never wants to hear. The DJ adds clean versions, then plans where the Israeli and family sets fit, so her school friends and her grandparents both get their moment on the floor.
Each candle honors someone who shaped her: grandparents, siblings, cousins, friends from school or camp. She writes the dedications, chooses a song for each group, and the MC calls everyone up in turn so the room hears every name.
Girls' parties come alive with group dances, dance-offs and contests, plus a photo booth for friend-group pictures between sets. Party motivators teach the dances and keep the circle open, so no one spends the night at the tables.
Many families keep a moment for a father-daughter dance, a mother-daughter dance, or one song with both parents. The MC invites them to the floor, the song is edited to the right length, and the family is welcomed in for the second half.
Real Client Reviews
“If I could give On Air Productions LA more than 5 stars, I would! As a bride, one of my biggest wishes was to have a wedding where everyone was on the dance floor from beginning to end—and that’s exactly what happened thanks to DJ Gilad Emesh. From our first conversation, Gilad was professional, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our day unforgettable. He understood our vision, read the crowd perfectly, and created the most incredible energy all night long. Every song flowed seamlessly, and our guests are still talking about how amazing the music was. The entire team at On Air Productions LA made everything feel smooth and stress-free, allowing us to truly enjoy every moment of our special day. If you’re looking for an entertainment company that is reliable, talented, and knows how to create an unforgettable celebration, I couldn’t recommend them more. Thank you, On Air Productions LA and DJ Gilad Emesh, for making our wedding the best night of our lives!”
“Honestly couldn’t have asked for a better DJ experience. We booked On Air Productions LA for our wedding and DJ Gilad Emesh absolutely crushed it. From the first song to the last, the energy was exactly what we wanted. He really knows how to read the crowd and keep people dancing nonstop. Super easy to work with, very professional and such a great vibe overall. Everything felt smooth and stress-free, which is exactly what you want on your big day. If you’re thinking about booking them, just do it. You won’t regret it.”
“We hired On Air Productions for our wedding and we couldn't have gone with a better choice! After doing a lot of research and talking with multiple DJs/companies, we knew that DJ Gilad Emesh would be right for us. He is so friendly and easy to talk to that we felt comfortable with him right away. It was extremely important for us that our wedding have the type of music and vibe that would make it a continuous dance party while also representing our cultures (we are Israeli and Russian). Gilad was a pleasure to work with and a very experienced professional. We were impressed by how knowledgable and able he was to incorporate all types of music (dance, electronic, latin, russian, israeli, hip hop, etc), and also went the extra mile by helping us decide on the flow of our wedding schedule. He was able to bring the style we wanted and get everyone on the dance floor and read the crowd. So many friends and family members (both younger and older) complimented us on how great he was! The emcee that worked with Gilad was also fantastic and spoke very naturally with the crowd without being too involved, which was exactly what we wanted. If you are considering hiring On Air Pros, definitely don't hesitate- you can rest assured that you are in great hands and won't regret it! Thank you so much Gilad!!”
Common Questions
Everything the celebration needs from one vendor: a DJ from our team spinning the music, live MC duties in Hebrew and English, a professional sound system, dance-floor lighting, and coordination of the grand entrance, candle lighting and every key moment. Add LED screens, a photo booth or live drummers and it all comes from the same team, so nothing is left to chance.
Yes. Hosting in Hebrew and English is available — one person can do both, or a dedicated MC can work beside the DJ — so Hebrew-speaking grandparents and family from Israel feel included while your daughter's American friends follow every announcement. Your MC reads the room and switches languages without ever slowing the party down.
Absolutely. We build the playlist around your daughter's favorite current pop, hip-hop and dance tracks so the teens stay on the floor, then weave in Israeli and Hebrew sets and timeless hits that pull the adults up too. The result keeps both generations dancing all night instead of splitting into two rooms.
These are the heart of a Bat Mitzvah and we treat them that way. We script the grand entrance with the music, lighting and MC intro timed together, then guide the candle lighting so each honoree is called up smoothly with the song and dedication your daughter chose. It feels personal and polished, never rushed.
Yes. On Air Productions LA is a full-production company, so LED screens, intelligent dance-floor lighting, a premium photo booth and live drummers can all be part of the same booking. One team plans and runs it, which keeps the look consistent and the timeline tight.
Yes. We DJ and produce Bat Mitzvah celebrations across greater Los Angeles and all of Southern California — synagogue ballrooms, hotels, private venues and homes. Tell us your date and location and we'll confirm availability; contact us for a personalized quote.
Both: every Bat Mitzvah package starts from the same core, the DJ and an MC, and is then shaped around your daughter's party. You choose the additions, such as dancers, a photo booth, an LED wall or a live singer, and we prepare an individual quote around your date and guest list. Our Bar and Bat Mitzvah packages page lays out the main combinations to start from.
Yes, party motivators can join the DJ and MC, and we recommend them once 30 or more kids are coming. They teach the group dances, run contests alongside the MC and keep her friends on the dance floor instead of at the tables. When the hora starts, they also help bring parents and grandparents into the circle.
Yes, on request we can have her entrance choreographed, and a family dance as well. The steps are set to the song she picks and timed with the MC's introduction and the lighting, so the moment looks planned from the first beat. Let us know early so there is time to learn it before the day.
Yes, the night can be built around Hebrew songs, a hora with the chair lift and candle lighting set to music she chooses. Your DJ blends Israeli favorites with the pop her friends know. The MC, in Hebrew and English, calls up each honoree to light a candle. For a live touch, an Israeli singer can perform during the candle lighting.
Yes, a live drummer can play over the DJ for her grand entrance and come back for the hora and the peak dance sets. The drummer can play a standard kit or an LED drum kit, and an LED wall behind the booth can show her name as she walks in. Both can be added to any Bat Mitzvah package.
Yes, our own team goes from Los Angeles to Bat Mitzvahs in the San Francisco Bay Area, San Diego and Las Vegas. Santa Barbara, Palm Springs and Orange County are part of that travel area too. Share your date and venue and we will check availability for you.
Both are common. By tradition a girl becomes Bat Mitzvah at 12, and many Orthodox families celebrate then, while many Reform and Conservative congregations hold the ceremony at 13, as they do for boys. Your synagogue sets the date of the service, and the party usually follows on the same weekend or soon after.
Many do, and often a mother-daughter dance as well, or one song for both parents together. She chooses the song with her parent, the MC invites them to the floor, and the DJ can shorten the track or blend into another song so the rest of the family can join in.
Yes, many girls walk in with their closest friends, their siblings or their cousins, or have the group introduced just before them. The MC announces the line-up, the DJ times her song so she arrives on the beat, and choreography for the group can be added on request.
Group dances everyone can learn in a minute, dance-offs between tables and team challenges run by the MC or party motivators keep her friends on the floor. A photo booth with props gives each friend group its own photos between sets, and the games pause for the candle lighting and the speeches so the family moments stay hers.
Bat Mitzvah Packages
Her Bat Mitzvah package begins with a DJ who plays the music she loves and an MC who keeps every honoree, toast and dance on time in Hebrew and English. Add party motivators for a big group of friends, a choreographed entrance, an Israeli singer to perform live at the candle lighting or an LED wall with her name, and we quote the whole package individually.
