What a lifesaver Party Belles was! My planner, Erin, was an absolute joy to work with. She was…read moreefficient and incredibly organized. She was on board with my ideas from the start and constantly was a sounding board for new ideas. She helped rein in my outlandish plans and she helped achieve my absolutely perfect day. We even had to adapt because one décor project was struggling, she found a different way to make it work. My stress level the day of was non-existent because I knew Erin and her team would have everything ready to go! I signed off for the month of planner; that month of planning services for my June wedding really started in November/December. We had multiple planning meetings and constant communication. It was worth every penny and if I had to do my day over, I'd definitely hire Erin and her belles again!!!

Let's Party is AMAZING! I had to host a pretty large graduation party for my neice this summer and…read moreMara and Rebecca were awesome. They came up with great ideas that fit my budget, space and personality of my neice but even more so, they enabled me to be able to really make it happen without feeling the stress that usually goes along with hosting a big party. They were so helpful from the first planning visit, through picking of vendors to renting/returning supplies. I cannot be more complimentary of this team, recommend this to anyone trying to host a memorable event and will definitely be bag for the next celebration!

Each time I could not have been more pleased with the planning process and the results. They started by coming to my home or the event venue and listened to all the thoughts and ideas we envisioned. They then emailed us a detailed and organized party plan that pulled our ideas together and included vendor suggestions, links to items to purchase and suggestions for decor. They also provided invaluable set up and styling of all the party items on the day of the event. They really elevated each party to something that we could have never done on our own. And the best part was Mara and Rebecca were both genuinely a pleasure to work with. Don't hesitate to call Let's Party if you have an event to plan and want to make is something special!

Back in May 2013, Brian and I entered a competition hosted by Taylor & Hov called "The Great Bridal…read moreScavenger Hunt". This competition was a scavenger hunt where ten couples competed to win a $50,000 wedding. Taylor & Hov worked together to have their favorite vendors contribute their services. To our shock and surprise, WE WON! Following our win, Taylor & Hov designed and executed the perfect wedding for us. Not only did it provide us the opportunity to work with some of the best vendors in DC, but Taylor & Hov's creative talents far exceeded our expectations. When we first started our wedding planning, we had only a vague idea of what we wanted. Despite this, Sugar was able to create an event which really spoke to our personalities. We spoke to her about our mutual love of music, and she found a way to incorporate this into every aspect of the day, with programs made of records and place settings created out of cassette tapes. Moreover, during our highest stress moments, Sugar and Nar saved the day with their eagerness to help with both large and small details, from changing the venue at the last minute to putting together a signature cocktail that our guests still won't stop talking about. All in all, Taylor & Hov gave us a better wedding than we could have ever hoped for, and for that we are so grateful! Thanks Sugar and Nar!

And unlike most brides, I got to enjoy my dinner which was fabulous, because I knew Heidi was making sure everything was going smoothly. And to top it off-- she even brought some leftover soy candles (she hates waste) for free and had them lit on the tables and around the room so it all looked stunning as the sun set. She helped with every detail and was so caring during the event, most people thought she was a relative. There were a couple of potential snafus that could have happened (not her fault at all, it was something to do with the building) and she said, "don't worry, I got this." And she did. Everyone told me how much they loved the space, the food, and the whole vibe of the reception. Heidi is a big reason why.

In minutes, she transformed a fairly hideous hotel room unto a dinner service dream. Her hors d'ouvres and the dinner were tasty and pretty, and she had a bit extra of everything. The floral arrangements she brought were lovely and fresh. She made several important suggestions that improved our event. She helped us set up a bar and a memorial table, and provided an excellent sound system, with background music and mics for us to tell stories. She was responsive, prompt and helpful. Her billing was clear and fair. She was the only caterer who responded to us (I was planning the event from another state, so it was tricky.) We plan to hire her again for my dad's 90th birthday party!

I attended a baby shower last year and the mom-to-be had the most gorgeous balloon garland that…read morefeatured decorations that also fit into her theme. I asked her for the contact information and she sent me the website for Sweet Gifts which I saved onto my "Favorites" links on my phone. Fast forward one year later... I'm planning my own socially distanced "drive by" and "drop in" baby shower with close friends and family. One of the first businesses that I inquired was Sweet Gifts because I've always wanted a balloon garland. However, Sweet Gifts is more than just balloons, balloon walls, and garlands -- they also do custom laser cuts and engraving and grass backdrop rentals as well! Their balloon work is so aesthetically pleasing and they really take their time to curate an impressive look for your event (if you don't believe me, check out their Instagram for some of their beautiful work!). I went with the grass backdrop rental, laser cut, and a ready-to-hang garland to display. The team came on time and was able to set everything up within 2.5 hours! They also wore masks throughout the whole setup and always knocked on the door to make sure to get my opinion on the display. I received several compliments from our guests and have told them all about Sweet Gifts! Additionally, they came back later that evening to take down the grass backdrop and left us with the ready-to-hang garland and laser cut for us to keep. When it comes to payment, you will pay 50% for your reservation and then 50% the day before. They also accepted payment through various methods. I definitely plan to use Sweet Gifts for future events!

My…read moreguests were amazed at how beautiful the balloons and cutouts carried the "Woodlands animals" theme. We were able to keep all the signs to use in the baby's room. When the crew arrived they were very professional and done so quickly I couldn't believe it. I have found kits that you can buy to make displays but I cant imagine ever being able to make something so beautiful. Jen was amazing, she felt like some of the design elements would crowd the space and made some suggestions that were even better than the original ideas. I highly recommend this company for that special design for any event.
