Welcome to Back2Life Events; where your dream events come to life, no matter how small! As owner of B2L Events, I’ve been working in hospitality since I was 16, every position that you can think of as part of a successful restaurant, I’ve done it - where my main focus was on bartending. However, my attention eventually fell on the world of event planning. I first started in managing events for an office (which had over 200 events annually); this later helped me to better relate to my clients’ needs in transitioning over to the catering side of the event world. Over the last two years, I’ve managed hundreds of corporate events (and quite a few birthday parties and baby showers) in New York City as a member of a boutique catering company. I’ve since moved back to the Washington DC area, and am looking forward to putting my expertise to creating memorable events here. Back2Life Events aims to meet your event needs with delicious locally sourced food, curated specialty beverages, and staffing as needed. *******************See more

May 7 Decorations did a fabulous job decorating my front porch railing. My son’s 10th birthday party was a success, and received several compliments on the colorful ballon garland draped across the birthday banner. Will be using May 7 for future events.

I hired Denean’s Party by Design to help me with the decor for my mother’s 60th birthday on Thanksgiving 2017. It was my first time working with an event planner for a personal event and I did not know what to expect. I was nervous about the cost as well as the quality/execution for the event. I wanted something beautiful but on a budget and they did not disappoint! EVERYTHING about my experience with them was absolutely fabulous. They helped me create the look I wanted without breaking the bank, provided very detailed instructions on how to flawlessly execute and setup the event (since it was being hosted on a holiday), very responsive, punctual and uber profressional.

Everyone in attendance was in love with the decor. Hands down one of my best experiences ever working with an event planning company. I will continue to use them for any event I plan (small to big).

It was a pleasure dealing with Danielle. Even though we didn't use a decorator for our event, she was very responsive to inquiries and her pricing was very reasonable. We wouldn't hesitate to work with her in the future.

I had an amazing experience with Lux Decor & Event Rental Services for my graduation party! From the very beginning, they were responsive, professional, and easy to work with. The decorations were absolutely beautiful and exceeded my expectations—they brought my vision to life perfectly. Everything was set up on time, the quality of the décor was outstanding, and every detail was handled with care. I received so many compliments from my guests. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality, cost-effective event décor, and will definitely use them again for future events. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Belle is so creative and detail oriented. I am so glad I found her. She helped us with decor for our son's Bar Mitzvah. People kept talking about the different decorative elements at the party and how amazing they were. I only wish I had found her sooner for other events I have hosted. Thank you Belle!!!!

I was trying to plans a birthday dinner for my wife and wanted to be conscious and responsible and allow for social distancing due to COVID. I decided to host the dinner in my garage as I thought that would allow for the most space. I cleaned out the garage to the best of my ability but had no idea on how to approach decorating. I reached out to Garnished-Events on short notice and they were very kind and responsive. They walked me through several options for seating, decor and color combinations, but at the end of the day the concept was theirs. The came the morning of the event and decorated and set up everything. My wife was blown away as well was I. It turned out awesome and we had a beautiful night with friends. I cannot say enough about what they were able to accomplish within the parameters that I provided and i am truly appreciative of what they did. Thank you Sheena and Alondra

I was in search of balloon decorations for my daughter's baby shower and the standard yelp and Google searches were not providing results. Then I found Joo at Harcup Events and she saved the day!

She turned the balloon arch and centerpieces into works of art. They really added a big splash to the venue at a very reasonable price. On top of that, Joo was responsive and punctual. Keep in touch with me all along the way.

We will certainly use her for future family gatherings! I would recommend her to anyone in need of creative balloon decorations!

They are amazing! We had a party for about 50 people and needed a decorator to help us jazz up the ballroom. They brought a beautiful flower wall and photo booth which was a big hit at our event! They even helped us put together our centerpieces and place them on the tables. They were punctual, professional, and friendly. Definitely would book again!

Kadzo was a true professional. I asked her to decorate for my dads 100th birthday. I met her only about two weeks before. She did a great job in light of the short time line. I have a couple questions about stuff I didn’t see but she did a great job in such a short timeline. And she decorated two events for me in one weekend. She was professional. Everything was ✅ done in a timely way had her pricing was pretty reasonable. She worked well with all the venue contacts. I will hire her again. Definitely give her call.

CREATE is such a wonderful company to work with! They just decorated and hosted my baby shower and it was everything I could have asked for and more. They have exceptional attention to detail and are so creative and original when it comes to executing the final product. From the cupcakes and sweet treats, to the beautiful themed decorations, from the fun and engaging baby shower games to the communication about what our specific needs and wants were, our baby shower was the best one me and my family have ever been to! Everyone wanted to know who were those gals in the purple shirts!! I absolutely loved working with them and am so so happy with how everything turned out. I will definitely be using their services again and will recommend them to anyone who wants to wow their guests with creative, organized and thoughtful event planners!! Thank you CREATE Team!!!

Sweettables By Nans
Sweettables By Nans
Sweetables by Nans planned and orchestrated an elegant, high level graduation dinner celebrating my daughter’s high school graduation, and in record time!

After researching and interviewing numerous event planners, I was incredibly fortunate to have found Sweetables by Nans!

She combines an exquisite artistic taste for every detail with all the practical skills and knowledge of how to handle every component of party planning.

She also was an advocate on my behalf at the venue when they did not want to allow the tablescapes and additional decor we had planned. That is a event planner you want in your corner!

Sweetables by Nans is a consummate professional and was always available and responsive whenever I had a question. She is a gifted event planner and deeply loves and enjoys what she does.

Share your vision and let her bring it to life. I look forward to working with Sweetables by Nans again. Don’t hesitate to contact her. You will be glad you did!

We hired Nycee's Loving Creations for our daughter’s birthday party last minute and LaNyce exceeded our expectations! The designs were creative, vibrant, and perfectly matched the theme. From the moment we discussed our vision, LaNyce was very attentive to every detail, ensuring that the colors and arrangements were exactly what we wanted. The setup was done on time, and the balloons stayed flawless throughout the event. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the beautiful balloon arches and centerpieces! If you’re looking for a balloon decorator who is professional, talented, and easy to work with, look no further. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend working with Kay. She is very responsive, easy to deal with and great at her work.
She did a lovely decoration for a graduation party for us.
The only thing that wasn't working out so well for us was the light material of the big numbers. Even though they had weights on the bottom, the numbers weren't very sturdy. It was a bit of a problem for our event as it was extremely windy. I never thought about asking Kay about the material as I assumed they'd be in a aluminium or something else sturdy. But overall the display lasted throughout and still looked nice. Thank you Kay, for a job well done.

Garnished Events gets zero stars. My event was scheduled for June 6, and I began planning in April with the owner, Sheena. She assured me she was highly rated and that all I would need to do was show up and enjoy the event.
About a week before the event, the problems began. Deadlines were missed, and instead of taking responsibility, Sheena blamed me or my daughter for delays. Key details—DJ coordination, dessert setup, vendor timing, layout, and event setup—were still unresolved. When I asked direct questions, she said she was too busy and blamed me for not following her confusing email threads.
I had more than 30 guests traveling from around the world, and I had made it clear that I would not be able to manage planning details close to the event. That was the reason I hired her. By June 5, I was extremely concerned because there were still major gaps in the plan, including layout, arrival times, and caterer coordination. When I called Sheena, she said she was in the field, very busy, and had 11 events the next day.
On June 6, the event was scheduled to start at 6 p.m., but Sheena and her crew arrived at 5 p.m. Other vendors had already arrived, and no one was there to coordinate them. With only an hour left, there was still too much to do: decorations, signage, the photo booth, flower wall, cocktail tables, bar setup, and more. I was in tears while trying to help pull everything together.
During setup, Sheena was rude to me and my daughter’s friends, who were only trying to help. Her attitude added to the stress, and the setup felt chaotic.
Guests arrived at 6 p.m. while setup was still underway. The bar was not ready, signature cocktails were not served, and the event flow we had planned was not followed. Everything was finally set up around 6:45 p.m.—about 45 minutes late.
Several planned elements were missed: champagne was not opened, the TV was not set up for games, and the bartender incorrectly told guests that wine and other alcohol had run out even though several bottles were still available. And none of her servers knew what to do since she was in charge. At the end of the event, I asked Sheena for the bags of snacks that were not consumed (I spent close to $100 on these) but they were not given back to me.

Garnished Events was also responsible for teardown and cleanup, but they left the space in a mess. When I called Sheena to come back and help, she said she was done. My building charged me $350 for cleaning. Overall, this was an extremely stressful and disappointing experience, and I would not recommend Garnished Events.

I worked with Danielle recently on the decorations for my cousin's baby shower and it was such a pleasure! The baby shower was hosted in D.C. and I live in Atlanta so I was slightly concerned about not being able to coordinate all the planning details in person, but Danielle made the process simple and straightforward. She worked with me from the beginning to determine the budget and stay within it based on our needs. She was also punctual and communicated with me regularly (especially as we got closer to the date of the event). When I finally met Danielle in person, it felt like a I was meeting a longtime friend. She was personable and wasn't easily overwhelmed by a couple of weather hiccups we experienced the day before the baby shower. Overall, I would highly recommend Danielle and Forever After Designs and Rentals. I hope that you give them a try - I'm glad I did! :)
Sincerely,
Jenny M.
