Emma Plumley's Belle Princess Party
March 1st, 2009

When I planned on having my daughter Emma's 3rd Princess Birthday party, I never imagined it would be as beautiful as it was. Encore Celebrations created a true Princess event!

Since our theme was focused on Princess Belle, Bonnie and Heidi created the most beautiful party set up. The dining table looked amazing, even the chairs were done beautifully. The cake and gift table had twinkling lights that created a warm and elegant feel. Bonnie and Heidi transformed the mirror wall into a beautiful window with gorgeous material as curtains! The entrance to the studio was amazing as well. The front doors to the "Ballroom" looked as if we were really knocking on the castle door! Emma and others were just speechless.

For the first part of the celebration, the children had a wonderful time learning ballet. They truly felt like real princess ballerinas. Bonnie worked patiently with the little princesses and kept them very entertained. She taught them some basic techniques and a small dance routine.

About 20 minutes into the class lesson with Bonnie, there was a knock on the door. Bonnie asked "who could that be?" It was Princess BELLE! The look on the children's' faces were priceless. Seeing my daughter Emma so shocked with excitement was awesome! Belle, wearing her classic ballroom dress, was beautiful. Long stem roses were passed out as a party favor (supplied by Encore Celebrations) to the ballerinas for their dance routine. Belle even danced with the girls, doing a small routine that Bonnie had just taught them!

Once the princesses were done dancing, Belle invited them to her ballroom for lunch! When I saw my daughter's face as she joined hands with Belle and friends to have lunch in her "ballroom", my eyes filled up with tears of joy. I knew then that my little girl wasn't going to be little forever and I am just so blessed to have had Encore Celebration create a truly special event just for her.

My 6 year old daughter, Madison, can't wait for her High School Musical party in June!

Thank you Encore Celebrations for creating a truly magical birthday celebration for Emma.

Kennedy's Wicked Party

When my 7-year-old daughter Kennedy asked for a "Wicked" party at her dance studio, I was not at all surprised since she lives and breathes dancing and loves the famous musical. But what did shock me was just how much time and effort Bonnie and Heidi put in to making her party…well, let’s just say WICKED.

Every detail was amazing, from the entry doors welcoming you to the Emerald City to the witch broom centerpiece and whimsical décor throughout the dance studio.

The invitations were to die for and the party favors of witch hats and wands were simply magical.

But, I have to say, what really made the event better than any other party I have ever had, was the staff at Encore Celebrations. Our dance instructor, Miss Natalie, made every child feel special. Within minutes, she was calling each one by name and her attitude was upbeat, friendly and encouraging. She wore a darling witch costume and taught the kids a fun, playful routine that my daughter has been doing at home ever since.

Bonnie and Heidi handled practically everything else, including set-up, clean-up, face painting and decorations. I felt as though they were a part of my own family and never had one doubt that my celebration would go off without a hitch. Their professionalism, care and concern gave me peace of mind, allowing me to just be "MOM" for the day. I was able to sit back, relax, and enjoy this special day with my little girl. I didn’t miss one smile, laugh or memory. And that is what I’d call a Perfect Party!

Thanks to all who made it happen!
