who am i and why am i telling you how to party?

Its time to PARTY! (and blog about it…)


Greetings party goers, fellow party planners, past and future clients and vendor partners:


Welcome to the GMRT Party Patrol blog. As many (ok, all) of you probably know, I like to talk. A lot. I have a lot of opinions and on the subject of parties, I could go on and on. And now I will!


In the weeks ahead, look forward to us giving our spin on all things events. I will share insider secrets on what makes a great party, how to wow, parties on a budget (yes, everyone has a budget), things I’ve tried that failed (so you don’t have to!) and more.


And what qualifies me to tell all? As an event planner for Give My Regards To for nearly two years (and previously in South Beach, Miami), I have produced events of all shapes and sizes. From a rock-star birthday bash in a former casket company (think wild zebra print!) to a corporate networking event where beer was locally handcrafted by the guests themselves and unveiled at an authentic Oktoberfest (Leiderhozen? Check. Weinerschnitzel? Check.) Thinking outside of the box is my forte and now is as good of a time as any to share what I know with my fellow party people.

I maintain a firm bash belief that parties are a celebration of those we like and love, be it a wedding, a corporate gala, a Mitzvah or a simple shower. They can be grand or grounded . . . but definitely should be great. I look forward to sharing my event expertise and welcome your feedback in the weeks ahead.


So look forward to logging on every Monday and getting the dirt, the dish and the deal from the GMRT Party Patrol.
