Over the years, we’ve worked at (and blogged about) many Bar Mitzvah venues all over Maryland, Virginia and DC. Over the next few weeks, we wanted to share some of our very favorites with links to where you can find more info. We’ve already shared some of our favorite unique Bar Mitzvah venues in Montgomery County, MD, so now we want to share the old standbys– hotels and country clubs. Tell them that Pop Color Events sent you!
