About

I make a lot of DIY items and personalized items for the event. Because of this, it cuts down a lot of costs for what can be used towards desserts, food, and among other things needed clients. I take the stress in decorating and planning the event away from the clients, to ensure that they will enjoy their party and be wowed along with their guests. Most importantly, I work with clients to ensure they get what they want and more, with an affordable budget. Throughout the years, many of my friends, family members, and colleagues have encouraged me to really pursue event planning. Admittedly, I did not always have the confidence to make a career out of it, but planning and decorating for events is not only one of my passions, but it is also very much therapeutic to me. I’ve never viewed planning an event as work, but rather it has always been a fun activity or project to do. My primary focus when planning an event is the details. I’m looking for the “wow,” “the jaw drop,” the “amazed-look,” or the “breathtaking” response.

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!!!!

Belle did an excellent job designing our joint birthday celebration for myself and my son. She went above and beyond my expectations and did not miss a single detail. She communicated very clearly with me starting from day one all the way up until the day of my event. All of her props and crafts were very well made using high-end materials and even included some of her own property, all in the effort to complete the look! I am beyond satisfied with the turnout of my party and am already looking forward to planning my next event with Belle.

Belinda provided signs and other decorations for our wedding. We asked Belinda because (a) she is super talented and (b) because we trust her completely We didn't provide a lot of guidance, which was probably not the norm. However, everything Belinda decorated blew our minds. Not only did Belinda go above and beyond, which she always does, but she designed and decorated more than we anticipated. We used centerpieces for our cocktail hour, handmade signs to display throughout out event and other marvelous decorations. We received so many comments and compliments for the decorations I can't say enough great things about Belinda.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I loved the signs I have created for your wedding event. You and your wife are one of the best clients I have had - kind, generous, and easy to work with!

Belinda designed and decorated my son's first birthday party. I told her I wanted an airplane theme and the rest was history! The decorations were on point and she went above and beyond what I was asking for. She added personal touches with water painting an airplane canvas for guest to sign, cute aviator decor with my son's face on them, airplane themed sugar cookies, etc. It was very easy working with her! I've seen her work before so I knew having her take care of the decorations and party layout allowed me to focus my attention on other things going on. Her attention to detail and creativity is an A++!!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I do! Although, I am just starting and really gaining confidence to start this business... I can assure you I am very dedicated, and my cost starts at $175 for a perfect main table with decor and details, and $300 for more details and custom backdrop. I work with the budget I am given to make a great event!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When working with a new client, I want to get to know their vision, what they want for an event, so I can make that happen, but more! So they'll expect one thing, but what you see, you get more. That satisfaction is what drives me to make this happen!
How did you get started doing this type of work?
Because my friends, family, and colleagues really pushed me to make this happen. After a string of events this past year, I finally got the courage I needed to make this happen.
