I hired Glitz and Glam Events to decorate my home for my husband’s 50th Birthday celebration. They were wonderful to work with-start to finish. Once I submitted my original request for an estimate, they were very prompt to respond. They were very thorough in understanding what I was looking for, and quickly came back to me with lots of great ideas, as well as photograph mock-ups of what they would be providing so I could understand the visual impact of the decorations in my space. As the day of the event was approaching, I messaged them several times with small changes and additions. They were always extremely responsive and accommodating. The day of the event, they arrived promptly, and worked efficiently to make my home look festive and beautiful for the party. I felt that their pricing was extremely reasonable compared to other estimates. I highly recommend them- they were a pleasure to work with and do wonderful work!

There simply aren’t enough words to describe how AMAZING Erica was from start to finish. From the very beginning, she was responsive, professional, energetic, creative. and got my vision from our very first conversation. She took a vision (which was quite complicated and nuanced) and turned it into a complete story. Her creativity and the love and passion and brilliance that she put into my design and decor ideas blew my mind!!!! She poured her heart and soul into it and I will forever be grateful. I am not easy to please 😵💫 but Glitz and Glam Events truly exceeded my expectations. Well worth every penny.
Details: Adult birthday party • 51 - 100 guests • Partial planning (help in select areas) • Decor rental • Centerpiece(s) • 3 - 5 months • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc. • Remotely (phone or internet)

This was very first time throwing a baby shower; she helped with the venue and decorations. She within the budget. I didn’t really have to worry about anything she made it such an easy experience for me. I would recommend her again and again.
