Happy Parties

"Birthday Party" wasn't really in my mother's vocabulary while I was growing up. I can only…read moreremember having ONE party, which was in 2nd grade. If I recall, it went well and I received a lot of Barbie Dolls (even though I wasn't really into Barbies but I think the mothers of the other girls assumed I was). Walking into Happy Parties was a journey into my absent past and started to heal all the psychological effects that one is traumatized from by not having childhood birthday parties. Happy Parties wasn't even open when I attempted to walk in but Don, whom appears to be the owner or manager; was still in the shop because the other crew was working on a party that night so since he was there, he allowed me to be there as well, even after hours! The shop is a mixture of party favor supply and vintage toy store. The shelves are filled with standards like party board games, costumes, party favors such fake rings for the little girls and toy guns for the boys, little stuffed animals, rubber stamps, etc; which are sold individually or can be purchased in bulk for your child's party guests. The best part, no matter what your age, is the toys that we remember from our years as a tyke: Smurfs figurines, rubber Gumby dolls, and slinkies to name a few. It is almost like being at a flea market which is always a treat! Happy Parties doesn't just sell party supplies or favors, it also helps plan/run the party providing entertainment (clowns, costumed characters, and face painters), themes, and games. This will take the strain off of any stressed parent! Plus, Don announced that they are starting to run adult parties, as well. To add the icing to the cake (I love puns), Don was kind, polite, and very cheerful. Again, he allowed me to browse even after closing hours but he also exchanged (graciously) information with my boyfriend after learning that he is an artist and would be interested in providing caricature drawing services at future parties. Don genuinely seems happy with what he does for a living (and I learned that he didn't have birthday parties growing up, either!). Whether you are a stressed parent needing party-planning help or just a nutcase needing birthday party therapy like myself, Happy Parties seems to be the solution. Now let me go cry if I want to.

They not only designed and set up all the balloons, backdrops, installations but they also spent extra time helping me decorate and design the farmers market with the custom gifts I made and/or purchased for my guests. The entire process felt stress-free and enjoyable. Everything turned out beautifully and we received so many compliments. I am truly honored to be The Simple Luxe's first farmers market themed client and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and kind vendor who goes above and beyond. If you have been following them on social media like I was and have an upcoming event - reach out to them and get a quote! You will not be disappointed!

I We utilized the month-of planning agreement, which was perfect for our needs. Since our venue did not provide any services, we hired all of our own vendors. 3LB was essential in ensuring everyone was coordinated and in place on the wedding day. Additionally, because we used their rental equipment, their staff ensured everything was set up exactly according to our instructions. I want to specifically highlight our wedding day coordinator, Jennifer. She was terrific and served as a calming influence throughout the day, ensuring everyone was where they needed to be. I cannot recommend Three Little Birds enough. To anyone considering their services: do yourself a favor and hire this team; you won't be disappointed.

The team arrived almost an hour late, several seat cushions were visibly stained and even molded, the cushion covers were not all the same color we had asked for when booking, and some of their staff were rude to us. Members of our own team had to jump in to cover cushions, tie them to chairs, and set them up to attempt an on-time event start, despite having had many other things to take care of for the event. At one point, our own executive leadership, who had arrived to attend the event, were helping assemble chairs just to keep things moving. Post event, we expressed our extreme disappointment, and after some back and forth over the course of weeks, the company did acknowledge the issues and agreed to provide a partial refund. Unfortunately, despite months of follow-up and repeated assurances, it has now been over FIVE months, and the refund has still not been provided. I normally prefer to handle situations like this privately and give disappointing companies the benefit of the doubt. But the lack of follow-through and accountability has been incredibly frustrating here, so much time has been wasted with nothing to show for it. I am sharing our poor experience, complete with photos of how the rental items arrived, so others can make an informed decision when considering booking with this company.

Then my venue required a day of coordinator. I am so glad this was a requirement, because a bride like me who is indecisive and somewhat of a procrastinator needs a wedding coordinator! I had NO idea how vital wedding coordinators are not only for the day of your wedding, but for the time leading up to it. I ended up going with Savvy Events because I loved DeNeitra's personality--organized, willing to work towards figuring out what my vision was (I am very indecisive) and so excited about her job. Leading up to my wedding I unexpectedly had to get a new job and start planning a move. I was so thankful somebody could help me with wedding planning!! DeNeitra stayed on top of deadlines, vendor appointments, and finalizing all of those final details. We shopped together for center pieces, flowers and decorations and we found everything at stores she took me to. She even picked up last minute decorations for me when I didn't have time to find them. She helped with the dreaded seating chart, connected me with an amazing calligrapher and coordinated the rehearsal without letting anyone get stressed out. What I loved most about the planning process is that she knew exactly how to incorporate our personality and taste into the wedding. DeNeitra communicated consistently with me the month leading up to the wedding through email, phone calls and Skype chats. By the time we got to our wedding day I knew exactly how things were going to play out. She was so excited about executing "the vision" of our wedding that I knew there was NO reason I should be stressed on the day of my wedding. I completely trusted DeNeitra and her team from the beginning.! Having interviewed and worked with many vendors, I consider this the most important thing to look for in a wedding vendor. Thank you DeNeitra and the Savvy team, you were worth every penny and my wedding would not have been the same without you!
