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"!

short notice.

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!!
