About Us

Milestones by Mara is a full-service event planning company specializing in Bar and Bat Mitzvahs in the North Shore area, led by owner and lead coordinator Mara Torf.

We cannot express in words how grateful we are to Mara for executing our daughter's Bat Mitzvah to flawless perfection. From planning, organizing, dropping off out-of-town goody bags, sewing on a suit button, and managing the timing to perfection of the entire weekend, to packing up our car with end of the evening to go boxes, no stone was left unturned. We simply could not have done it without her!!!

Testimonial

Thank you is not enough!!! My son's Bar Mitzvah could not have been pulled off without the help of you, Mara. You went above and beyond the call of duty with attending every vendor appointment, helping make difficult decisions when we just didnt know which way to go, helping create decor when decor wasn't part of the budget, and making our entire family feel relaxed the entire weekend. You are worth your weight in gold! By far the best event planner with the best heart on the North Shore!
