How fortunate that Stephanie Mark of Practical Parties planned my granddaughter's "Taylor Swift" themed 8th birthday party. What a pleasure to work with her company. Stephanie is creative, organized, calm, and works within your stated budget. She has vendors at her fingertips. Her thought and eye for detail was exceptional. Stephanie and her adorable daughter Madison were with us every step of the way, from the initial consultation and previewing the event space, to the day of the event. When the weather forecast was 105 degrees, she came back to the yard to access tent and fan needs. Her innovative ideas made my granddaughter feel special and she absolutely loved her party. Thanks to her expertise, the party ran smoothly and saved me the stress of worrying about the day. I would highly recommend Practical Parties for any type (fancy to casual) size (10 for dinner to 200 for wedding) budget ( on the cheap or skies the limit). read more
