Check out this "thank you note" we got from the brides sister/Maid of Honor...

"I had to send you an email and just let you know what an awesome affair you put together and pulled off. Natalie very much wanted a "party" and this was sooo untraditional for my mom that she had a tough time wrapping her head around everything and understanding what Natalie wanted. With your assistance, Natalie got exactly what she wanted and more. The venue was awesome, the photographers were great, the food was spectular. I've seen some pictures that friends have taken as well as a teaser forwarded by Adrienne and WOW is all I can say !!

I can only imagine the amount of pressure on you the day of these events but I gotta say - you are COOL as a cucumber working with some many different people and personalities !! You did an awesome job !!! Thanks for your attention to all of the details and thanks for making 1-1-10 an unforgettable night for Natalie and Aaron and our family !!"

Another Insider Tip!

Time for another installment of "insider tips" from owner and operator of JP Event Design - Judy Moore!

• Have your reception at a RESTAURANT! Yes, I said a restaurant. As a former director of events for one of Philadelphia’s premier restaurants, I know firsthand how much money brides can save by having their reception at a restaurant. Restaurants are one stop shops – the venue, food, and beverage is all included in one price – no hidden rental fees, bartender fees, catering fees. Etc. Usually restaurant chef’s can accommodate any menu, not just the menu they serve on a regular basis. Also, there are SO many unique restaurants in Philadelphia – the list is almost endless, from tropical themed, upscale, modern, classic, urban, chic, you can find a Philadelphia restaurant that will totally reflect your style. Not to mention, how much you will save on décor! Restaurants spend tons of money on decor – you will barely have to do a thing – the ambiance, lighting, and style are already built in. My favorite new restaurant in Philly is Union Trust – a former US Mint building converted into a stunning restaurant complete with original century old architecture completely restored – its is gorgeous – a perfect choice for a reception or rehearsal dinner. Another favorite – MELT in Center Valley, PA.

Chase's Bar Mitzvah

We were so excited to be apart of such a special day for Chase and his family.
In keeping with the sports theme of the party, we custom designed posters, which were signed by all of the guests. The centerpieces consisted of jerseys, miniature hockey sticks and baseball bats as well as pennants from some of Chase's favorite teams. We also custom designed the place cards with photos of Chase to give them an "official ticket" feel!

We were so happy to be part of the day - Mozel Tov Chase!

Insider Tips

We'd like to introduce our new weekly series of "Insider Tips"!

The most important insider tip I can give to brides is to hire a wedding planner, no matter what your budget! First and foremost a wedding planner will alleviate your wedding day stresses – brides should not have to worry about the insane amount of details that need tending to on the wedding day. A good wedding planner will take care of all of the details, ensuring that your event is perfect and if there are any unexpected issues that arise, the planner will take care of it – the bride should never even know if anything was less than perfect! Secondly, a wedding planner can save you thousands – we know the value of goods and services for weddings – we will find and get the best rates in the industry and pass along the savings to you – these savings will far surpass your investment in a planner. A planner may cost a few thousand dollars, but a stress free wedding is PRICELESS!!!
