Hired on Thumbtack

I had an excellent experience with Donna. She helped us throw a wonderful surprise 30th Birthday party for our daughter. She made everything lovely, was able to get the perfect menu to meet several dietary needs, got us the most delicious gluten free cheesecake with fresh fruit on it which our daughter & everyone absolutely enjoyed, she served, made sure everyone had plenty to eat and drink, she cleaned up after everyone & threw away all of the garbage in our cans, several times! ...and wound up staying later, without a problem, because everyone was having such a great time. Donna is very friendly, accommodating, helpful & was a real pleasure to work with. After our experience with her, my husband and I have decided to use her for our future parties & get-together's! We highly recommend Donna for all of your party needs. You will not be disappointed!

Donna was a lifesaver! My husband and I decided to have a short, four month engagement and to try to do everything ourselves. I quickly saw that I could not do it all, along with homeschooling my two children, working part time and orchestrating a move, and also keep my sanity! I found Donna on Thumbtack and she quickly responded to my inquiry. She was willing to work with our budget, she was organized (which is not my strong suit), able to see little things that needed to get done which my then-fiance and I did not even consider and was punctual and professional. I would recommend Donna to anyone trying to pull off an event that needs someone to come alongside them to help make the planning less overwhelming. She certainly did that for us.

Donna was just on point. I couldn't have asked for a better Coordinator/Planner. She handled and negotiated from the limo and shuttle bus to the even the photo booth. Along with coordinating with all my vendors making sure everyone was on the same page. It was all perfect. I couldn't have done it on my own. She was my life saver. Anyone who hires her would not regret their decision. Thank you Donna from the bottom of our hearts. You are the best in my eyes.

Donna was organized and very efficient in helping set up a catering event in an office situation. Her food is of high quality and she is very fairly priced.

Donna is AMAZING! We hired Donna to assist with my daughters grad party and it was more of a gift to myself than I could have imagined. Donna did much of the party shopping and planning and once she arrived at the event it ran so smoothly and my husband and I got to enjoy time with our guests. Donna was willing to do whatever we needed in each moment. She added a bunch of special touches that we didn't even plan which were heartfelt and beautiful additions. I would absolutely use her services anytime I have a function.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Since my customers have different needs it's difficult to set an over all price. It depends on services needed, time, and pre-planning. I have some prices on my website that are based on hourly services.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first thing I do is speak on the phone and discuss client's needs and go over my background and experience. Then if it seems like a good fit for my services we'll move onto a personal meeting so I can get to know customer and their expectations. We will go over event parameters and what the client is looking for.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have over 30 years in corporate America in event planning, sales, marketing, and hospitality. I've also worked in the food industry in catering and retail.
