I would like to thank you for coordinating my husband's fabulous 40th birthday party.

I appreciate your ability to listen to my ideas and bring them to fruition. The outcome was wonderful! As the host, it was the first party where I was able to really participate and enjoy. Your professional yet friendly demeanor made the planning effortless. Your personal sense of style paired with my general "feel" for the gathering created an amazing aptmosphere - it was the perfect party. Guests raved about it for months! The ambiance, bar menus, entertainment, food, cake, service, vendors, preparations, clean up, even the manner in which you communicated with me throughout the event....everything was beyond my expectations. Most importantly, my husband was enthralled with the celebration.

As soon as I heard that Celebrations Made Simple was opening, I immediately made a reservation on my sons' birthday weekend for a party. Celebrations Made Simple may be a new company, but Felicia Owens-Smith is not new to producing an organized and well planned event. I worked with Felicia for many years and was able to enjoy some entertainments provided by her. The most memorable was the Christmas festivities last year that included family and friends. The activities were for kids of all ages (adults also). The presentations for Felicia's gatherings are always unique, welcoming and elegant.

Thank you Felicia. I am very pleased with all you have done for us! You are a true professional.

I've been attending Relay For Life for years and this was the best Survivor's luncheon I've seen. Celebrations Made Simple turned the high school cafeteria into an old English Garden Tea Party...the atmosphere and all the little details were incredible...they really captured the theme of "Celebrating Life"!

I wanted to thank you – belatedly – for all you did to make Sam’s Bar Mitzvah so wonderful.

When I called you just one month before my son’s big day, I was feeling overwhelmed with all the details and decisions that still needed to be addressed: decorations, center pieces, a candle board for the candle-lighting ceremony, a sign-in poster, goody bags, gift baskets for out-of-town guests, place cards, gift table ... and more. I wanted to scream, “HELP!!” You answered my on-line inquiry instantly; and instantly, you calmed all of my fears.

Your professionalism, your creativity, and your reassuring personal style were just what I needed. I was very impressed that you spent the time to familiarize yourself with the Bar Mitzvah tradition (you even learned the meaning of Sam’s Torah portion!), and I was very pleased with your ideas, flexibility, and resourcefulness. The vendors you used for flowers, printing, and decorations were all topnotch. Most of all, I appreciated how well you listened and how quickly you grasped my vision for Sam’s special day. You asked all the right questions and delivered even more than I could have imagined -- all within my budget.

Felicia, I will never forget the joyful sensation of walking into the restaurant after the Bar Mitzvah service to see that you had handled absolutely everything! I saw the beautiful, festive décor ... heard the laughter and conversation of our friends and family as they enjoyed wine and hors d’ouevres ... and found the challah, the birthday cake, the candle board (and everything else) right where they were supposed to be. Your impeccable planning, plus your watchful presence throughout the day, allowed me to thoroughly enjoy our beautiful party.
You’re the best!

P.S. Thank you for the beautiful cookies with Sam’s picture silk screened on them! People are still raving about those gift baskets.

Felicia Owens-Smith and Celebrations Made Simple made my wedding day one of great memories for my husband and me. The professionalism, ease of service and extra attention to detail was outstanding. My work and personal schedule was not the easiest for Felicia but she continued to go above and beyond to ensure that our wedding would be memorable. I highly recommend Felicia and Celebrations Made Simple to plan anyone's wedding, party or other great event. You will be very pleased with the service from the initial planning stages to the execution of the event.  Thanks Felicia, you are the best!!
