About Our Parties
As a new mom, Melissa realized that there were few creative choices when planning her son's 6th birthday party. Ergo, as she does, she created her own! An instant hit with the kids, parents also started asking when they could plan their own events!
After a year of development (and some private parties) we are bringing our party concept to you, our community. Choose from a curated assortment of bespoke experiences tailored to ages 6 and above. Our brand new, designer event room is a gorgeous space to host children's birthday parties, adult craft parties and corporate events.
