I love nothing more than planning parties (the bigger the better) and pre covid I always planned my company's offsite for more than 1000 employees. In December 2019 I read something about Bubbly Events champagne cart and made a mental note to book it for whatever our company 2020 summer offsite would be. Little did I know that thanks to covid there wouldn't be any company offsites or other parties in the near future.
Another party that was affected by covid was my 40th birthday. Being the party planner than I am I had big party plans for 40. As summer 2020 approached it looked like parties as I knew them continued to be canceled, but I was determined to figure out a fun (and most importantly safe) way to celebrate. I started putting together a plan for a small socially distanced backyard bash for my closest friends and kept thinking about that champagne cart I had read about months earlier.
I reached out to Bubbly Events and heard back from Jacqlyn immediately with info on the cart, her amazing walls and even balloons. It seemed like she could add a lot of value to this bash and when we got on the phone I realized she was able to help with all of the decor for the party. While I used her mostly for decor since i had already reached out to food and entertainment vendors she's able to provide full service party planning.
I love being part of the party planning process (hence why i threw myself a 40th bday bash :)) so we worked closely together on everything. I loved her attention to detail, ability to make any idea come to life (including making adorable tumblers with covid related sayings) and she also helped me find the most affordable way to make the backyard rustic vision I had a reality. While we worked with a rental company on some lights and furniture for the event she found affordable items from amazon, target etc that were a fraction of the price of anything we could rent.
She was also extremely patient with me, especially as the party approached and I worried about the rain in the forecast. I changed my mind a million times on whether to move forward or change the date and she was very understanding. When I finally decided to change the date she made herself available.
The day of the party she showed up extremely early with a member of team, Taylor, who was just as awesome. They worked for hours to turn my kid crazy driveway and backyard into a gorgeous party. She also made sure everything ran as planned and several guests commented on how amazing she was.
And the amazingness didn't stop at the party because when I mentioned I was hungover the next morning from too much fun she had bagels and cream cheese delivered to my door within an hour. Seriously- she's the best!
I can't wait until parties are safe again because we are going to throw some big ones together, but in the meantime can't wait to use her for any future small intimate events. read more
