Celebrating with the City of David

We recently celebrated a Bar Mitzvah at the new City of David venue in Jerusalem, and it truly exceeded all our expectations. The stunning panoramic views of the Old City created the perfect setting for such a special family occasion. From our very first inquiry through to booking the event, the entire experience was handled with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care. Every question was answered promptly, the follow-up was thoughtful and efficient, and we felt supported every step of the way. On the day itself, everything ran seamlessly, and that same high level of attention and care continued even after the celebration. The food was absolutely delicious, with an abundant selection of beautifully presented dishes and drinks that our guests are still talking about. The staff were attentive, friendly, and genuinely invested in making our simcha both meaningful and stress-free, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment with our family and friends. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue and would wholeheartedly recommend the City of David for a Bar or Bat Mitzvah or any special celebration. It is a beautiful setting, managed by an exceptional team who truly care about creating a memorable experience.

We wanted to celebrate a meaningful Bar Mitzvah event, and that’s exactly what we found at the City of David. It was an especially powerful experience, for us and the guests. Starting with the planning and and all through the event, we received a listening ear and assistance with anything we asked for. Thanks to the great and experienced team, the event was impressive, exciting and very meaningful to us and our guests. The place itself is very unique, which magnified the event's success and contributed to the experience and enjoyment of our guests. An incredible place, excellent service before and during the event, beginning with the cleanliness and hospitality from everyone we met, taking care of all the small and large details, all the way to the different suppliers that were carefully selected by the City of David. To sum it up, it is a unique and gorgeous place, with very helpful and super professional suppliers. Most importantly, the experience the Bar Mitzvah boy had cannot be put into words. Thank you for a very unique and unforgettable event, we highly recommend you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

We want to thank you for the lovely event we had at the City of David, thanks to you. Without exception, all of the guests were moved and enjoyed the hospitality, the tour with the fascinating guides, Gabriel’s food and all aspects of the service and the general atmosphere at the site and specifically at our event. The employees were all kind, hard- working, pleasant and enchanting. We would like to specifically mention the lovely Tali, the sales manager, who communicated with us all throughout the process and made sure everything was perfectly coordinated, all the details were closed before the event and everything was to our liking. Everything was done pleasantly, politely, professionally and seriously. Thank you as well to Gilad the champion, the director of operations, who made sure everything was executed perfectly at the event, and that any questions or requests were properly answered and perfectly dealt with. From the smallest details, to helping with our car during the most stressful moments, handling our videos and slideshows - with the professional and fast technical help of Miriam and Noam who stepped in to help - and Gilad who was there to help with anything we needed at the right time and place. Thank you as well to Miro and the musicians for the groovy and graceful push in leading the procession, with lots of energy and a big smile, and of course to Shahar who was in touch with us at the beginning of the process. Thanks to you and the whole staff, for everything. We had fun, and were so moved and happy to celebrate our eldest son's Bar Mitzvah at the City of David with the professional and magical staff. I’m sure David is proud watching over the team that is looking after his city. We look forward to seeing you on happy occasions. Roni and Gil Sassover (and our son Guy, the guest of honor, who supports every word written above).

Thank you to the City of David team. You arranged an incredible event for us, a perfect experience to celebrate a Bar Mitzvah in the magical atmosphere of ancient Jerusalem. The production team was professional and very pleasant and cooperative. It was lovely!
