Having a Mechitza by a Seudas Mitzvah event such as a Bar Mitzvah, Bris, Pidyon Haben, etc

By a Seudas Mitzvah event [i.e. Bar Mitzvah, Bris, Pidyon Haben, etc]:

Bar Mitzvah: This follows the same law as a wedding meal [due to the dancing and great extravagance with which it is organized today] and hence a Mechitza is required. Nonetheless, some Poskim[1] conclude that it remains permitted to participate in a Bar Mitzvah celebration without a Mechitza which follows the lenient approach so long as the dancing is separate and the women are dressed modestly and some require also that there not be mixed seating.

Bris:[2]  Women should not be together with the men, and the men should not be together with the women, by a Bris, as this is considered Peritzus. [However, many are accustomed to not be particular to require a Mechitza by a Bris, and rather they suffice with the men and women simply remaining on separate sides, similar to a Chuppah.[3]] Nonetheless, by the meal, a Mechitza should be present.

Pidyon Haben: Many are not accustomed to have a Mechitza by a Pidyon Haben ceremony. Nonetheless, by the meal, a Mechitza should be present, unless it is a small event for the immediate family. At the very least, there must be separate seating.

Upsherenish: The widespread custom is to not require a Mechitza by an Upshreinish event.
