Karen booked our full party planning service for her husband Michael's 50th birthday. Michael was born during Extra Time of the 1966 World Cup Final so the party had a few references to this historic match. Here's what Karen had to say about our party planning service:
"Val organised my husband's 50th birthday party for us last night and our friends have fed back to us that it was the 'best birthday party in the world' and that was from Ben who is a very particular 11 year old with very high standards!
Val is the loveliest person I know who puts every effort in to making sure you have an amazing time, she is the first there setting up and the last to leave clearing away. She works very hard to make sure the memories that are made are the most special ones! Her ideas to make the party are fresh, exciting and different and are so unique and fun without breaking the bank.
I was just left feeling blessed and wondering how she does it! I would recommend her to anyone and will be rebooking her myself. Get in quick though as she is very busy and her diary fills up fast!"
Until next time,
Happy Planning!

A party vibe which was ‘relaxed but not low key in a beige way!'
I’m incredibly lucky to spend my days planning all kinds of events. I love working on a wide variety of celebrations, but there is something extra special about planning surprise parties and events with surprise elements.
