My twins turned 1 and we threw a Mickey and Minnie themed party. Shonta was very involved in the planning process, very responsive to any of my questions and catered to every detail and made our party a hit! Decorations were amazing. Thank you! Definitely would use again.

Shonta was absolutely amazing! From the moment I contacted her, she was a pleasure to work with. She was always prompt in getting back to me and very reasonable in regards to pricing. She is super creative and always coming up with new ideas. Shonta decorated for my son's Bar Mitzvah on June 11, 2016. We were all amazed at her talent. The look on my son's face was priceless when he walked into the room. The party was at The Planetarium at the Reading Public Museum. The party theme was swimming. She transformed the entire room to look like it was under water with swimmers, flags etc. We found out the day of that there was a no flame policy at the venue and we had planned on a candle lighting ceremony. Shonta had it covered with LED lights before I even showed up. She gave me piece of mind and made my son's party amazing! Thanks Shonta!

Shonta was wonderful! Professional, warm and easy to work with! All of her suggestions from DJ to catering were top notch. She made my parents 50th wedding anniversary very special and memorable. Indigo blooms should definitely be your pick to plan a special event. Thanks Shonta! The Kearney/McGinn Family

Shonta threw a wonderful first birthday party for our daughter! I live in Iowa and needed to plan a party in Philadelphia. I sent Shonta a few Pinterest ideas of what I wanted 6 months before the event and she made it happen! It was a beautiful venue, delicious food, yummy desserts - all vegan at my request. I gave Shonta full control and she certainly delivered! She was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and very easy to talk too. I was able to be completely present and carefree for the entire event and catch up with friends and family who I don't get to see often. It was exactly what I wanted! 10/10 would recommend :)
