apushatayid asked “Where does he imply there is something wrong?” (even if it is done outside a shul)

The answer is when Reb Moshe said…

“Therefore, you should distance this new thing of a bas mitzvah celebration, and not to encourage it”

“it is a matter of nonsense”

“the source of this practice comes from the Reform and Conservative”

“there is no basis to consider this a mitzvah matter”

“it is nothing more than a birthday celebration”

So clearly Reb Moshe was opposed to the entire idea, even if it wasn’t strictly prohibited to conduct in the privacy of ones home.
