I was determined to actually be able to enjoy the day and the party and that absolutely would not have been possible without Zenobia.

She arrived to decorate and coordinated with the couple other vendors we had hired. An hour leading up to the party I was sitting on the couch taking a rest while all the kids napped all thanks to Zenobia! She is amazing and we had an amazing party in large part because of her.

I've had Bashy Bash (when they had a different name) do balloons for me in the past. I wanted…read morefestive, affordable decorations for my daughter's kiddush following her bat mitzvah service so reached out to them to see if they could do a balloon arch and balloon centerpieces. Lilia was super responsive and within a day even sent me perfect samples of what the centerpieces would look like. We decided we would add cards to each centerpiece with QR codes that described my daughter's mitzvah project so I dropped them off in their adorable store in Winnetka beforehand. The arch was set up on Friday so we were able to use it for our Friday night dinner and Sat festivities...and then she dropped off the centerpieces on Saturday. When I walked into the room it was super bright and festive, which was exactly what we were going for. I've learned thru my years of party planning there are many options when it comes to balloons, but Bashy Bash is fairly prices, reliable and does a great job. Plus it's nice that they have a storefront for those who want to go figure out their balloon options in person.

I found these gift boxes circulating on social media, and they were so perfect to send my mom for her birthday and Mother's Day. My mom loved her box and was so happy with the personalized details!

I'm not sure "great" adequately describes my experience with NORA events. Because of Omicron we…read morehad to quickly transition a reception from live to virtual. I was determined to create some sort of "at home" reception for the guests of honor, two colleagues who deserved a real party. Another event-planning colleague recommended NORA events. I contacted Michelle, explained the situation, and she instantly went into creation mode. She asked for details about each person, made suggestions, and quickly produced an initial proposal that was close to perfect. After one or two more discussions it was perfect, and the boxes were customized to the specific needs/preferences of each recipient: cheese, charcuterie, personalized Champagne bottles, chocolate - already ingredients for perfection, right? But Michelle didn't stop there. I sent customized gift enclosure cards (with logos etc.) at her suggestion, and she found two unique boxes to wrap everything up in. (It's worth noting that both recipients were men, and both were really impressed with the presentation as well as the box contents.) The day of the event I received an email with sneak preview photos. I was blown away. Within minutes of the first delivery I heard from the first recipient who was equally so; and later that evening the other recipient sent me a note, paraphrased as follows: "...We enjoyed a small post-event reception later in the evening... with the wonderful chocolates, cheeses, and Champagne. Thanks so much for finding a way to make the remoteness of this event more personal and meaningful." Beyond the gift boxes themselves, what impressed me most was the short timeframe in which they were accomplished (14 days!); and that Michelle gave as much personal and thoughtful attention to a small order as she would to a large one. She really wanted to get every detail right, and she succeeded. We'll definitely use NORA events again, and I'll be sharing information with other event planning colleagues. Highly recommended!
