Vendor Highlight: The Royal Soiree
What if you could tell the guests of your next event that a professional fairy godmother planned your décor? If you choose to hire Gretchen, owner of The Royal Soiree, you can! Love and passion are behind each piece Gretchen chooses when she is hired to decorate for a party. At a young age Gretchen loved planning themed parties for her families. She has at worked the Walt Disney World Company, studied Theatrical Set Design, and worked with couples to plan the weddings of their dreams. Her education, experience, and true desire to create beautiful, happy, lifelong memories for the families that celebrate with them makes her an artist in her field of work.
The four themes available to select from are Frog and Princess, Beauty & the Beast, Cinderella and Perfectly Princess. As you can imagine after looking at photos of past parties Gretchen has been told she has created real fairytales right inside a backyard. To make their clients’ events convenient for them, The Royal Soiree offers all-inclusive packages, and they plan to expand into a variety of pricing options in the future. Their artisan, bespoke décor rentals are conveniently delivered and set up to perfection, with every small detail thought of - and the collection is entirely sustainable and reusable.
As a former wedding planner and now party decorator, Gretchen shared her biggest piece of advice for our readers when it comes to planning a party. “Plan in advance! Coordinating an event last minute can be stressful - even planning a small birthday party can be so much more manageable if you start several months before the special day. This will also increase the likelihood that your favorite vendors will be available to take on your event. If you take your time and slowly work on it, you won't be overwhelmed at the last minute!”
If you are considering hiring The Royal Soiree for your party, to ensure date availability, they recommend booking their services approximately three months in advance. This is another Phoenix area vendor we love to work with and highly recommend! If you are looking for a fairy-tale inspired party, they will not disappoint. Gretchen and her team stay inspired by the magical make-believe world they wish they could visit within beloved stories and fairytales.
