10 questions to ask before you hire a Mitzvah montage company
The montage is the moment the party stops and the whole room watches your child's story. Prices and promises vary a lot, so it is worth asking a few plain questions first. A good company answers all of them easily. Here they are, with our own answers.
How many rounds of changes are included?
Why it matters. You will want changes once you see your child's whole story on screen. Some packages include one or two rounds and charge for each one after that.
Our answer. Unlimited. You send as many notes as you like on each draft, and we keep refining the montage you booked until you love it.
Do we see the montage before the final payment?
Why it matters. You should never have to pay in full for a film you have not watched.
Our answer. Yes. You watch every draft in your private portal first. The balance is due only when you approve your final film.
How do we send photos and give our notes?
Why it matters. Hundreds of photos by email or text get lost, and notes like "the part near the middle" get misread.
Our answer. Everything happens in one private portal. You upload your photos and videos, set their order, watch each draft, and pin a note to the exact moment you want changed. Take the three-minute portal tour.
Who edits it, and can we talk to them?
Why it matters. A montage built by a person who knows your child's story feels different from one poured into a template.
Our answer. Our own editors cut every montage by hand, and you work with our creative director from the first photo to the final film. We are a small family studio with decades of experience. Meet the team.
What quality is the finished file?
Why it matters. The montage plays on a big screen in front of the whole room, and it is the copy your family keeps.
Our answer. Every montage is delivered in 4K.
Will our photos be cleaned up?
Why it matters. Old prints, phone screenshots and dark party photos look rough on a large screen.
Our answer. Yes. Every photo is cleaned up and enhanced, at no extra charge, in every Mitzvah package.
What exactly does the price include?
Why it matters. A low starting price can grow once extra photos, video clips and changes are added. Ask for the full list in writing.
Our answer. Mitzvah montages start at $900. Your proposal lists everything that is included before you pay anything, and anything outside your package is always quoted first. Whatever we quote you is the price we honor. See what goes into the cost.
What if we are short on time?
Why it matters. Party planning gets busy, and photos often come together late.
Our answer. Tell us your date and we will check our schedule right away. When time is tight, a rush option is available, and we explain it before you decide.
Who is responsible for the music?
Why it matters. Famous songs are protected, and an honest company will tell you where the responsibility sits.
Our answer. You choose the songs, and we help with ideas. If you pick a commercial track, you need to hold the rights to it for your private use. For an additional fee you can choose from our royalty-free library instead, and we supply the usage permit. Browse the Mitzvah song guide.
Can we see real montages and real reviews?
Why it matters. Samples show you the style. Reviews tell you what it was like to work together.
Our answer. Yes to both. Watch dozens of our Mitzvah montages, and read what families wrote about us on Google. Watch our Mitzvah montages.
Take these questions to anyone you are considering, us included. Based in Westchester, New York, we make Bar, Bat and B'nai Mitzvah montages for families nationwide, fully online. More answers are in our FAQ.
