My Mom's 70th Birthday was coming up, and I knew I wanted to throw a surprise party. But I live in NYC, and my Mom lives near Baltimore. Ahh! In comes the power of Yelp Projects + good communication. I created a project through Yelp, and that's how I found Pleasurities.
I worked with Ashley, the owner, and she was fantastic -- quick to reply via email (I work remotely and can't often take phone calls 9-5), and she seemed to understand my needs exactly how I communicated them. I wanted a Hawaiian themed dinner, to mimic my Mom's favorite restaurant. Some guests are vegan. I was maybe 5% worried that something was wrong because of how smoothly it was all going. But I had nothing to worry about.
The day of the event, her team was the first to show up (early), and walked into the space for setup at the same time I did. They were cheerful and professional, got oriented quickly, and then went to work setting up. They were ready in plenty of time before the start of the party. The setup itself was neat and practical -- I had asked for a buffet-style setup. The one feature that I LOVED that I didn't ask for -- the Pleasurities team had hollowed out pineapples as bowls. It really made the theme!
The dietary concerns of the guests were perfectly handled: ALL of the dishes were vegan.
In short, my party was:
35-45 people
Hawaiian Themed dinner
buffet-style
vegan + non-vegan guests
