Bar Mitzvah — Union Ballroom
Two parties in one room: a 30′ dance floor in the middle, the adults 30′ from the speakers.
Kestrel University — Whitlock Memorial Union · Union Ballroom · 128′ × 80′, 22′ ceiling

Why it is laid out this way
- Everything loud — floor, DJ, truss — sits in the clear centre bay, so the adult rounds on the flanks are 30′ from the nearest speaker and a table can still hold a conversation.
- The kids' tables sit between the two halves, where a parent on either flank can see them without crossing the dance floor.
- The candle-lighting table is on the centre line at the back of the floor, visible from both halves of the room at once.
