“Thank you so much for everything you did to help make our son’s Bar Mitzvah one of the most memorable events in our life. From the moment we met, I loved your enthusiasm, creativity, and passion. You put all of that into our event and it was everything we hoped for and more! Working with you was truly a pleasure. It is not often you meet people who are willing to think outside the box to fit a client’s needs and wants but you did it with no problem. I should not have spent even a second worrying about anything. You handled everything perfectly and we could not have asked for a more perfect or beautiful weekend. The best part is we were able to fully enjoy ourselves and spend time with friends and family while you took care of every last detail. I will miss speaking with you daily but know we will stay in touch since I will be recommending you to anyone and everyone who is looking to have an event of a lifetime!” -Melissa Hudson, B'nai Mitzvah Client

“Thank you so much for everything you did to make Taylor’s 17th birthday party a night to remember. When Taylor asked if she could have a party at home with 50 17-year olds, I couldn’t imagine what we could do to keep them entertained for four hours. So it was so nice to have you step in to take care of EVERYTHING. And what an even greater relief it was to have you work directly with Taylor to plan it all from start to finish, from the theme, to the Minute-to-Win-It games, photo booth, food, and everything inbetween. All I had to do was write the check. And best of all, it was such a pleasure to work with you and your team. By the time the party came around, you all were like family. You were so much fun to have at the party, while at the same time buzzing around to make sure it all got done, perfectly. The party was a huge success, just as I’d expect, and I couldn’t have been happier. Taylor and her friends are still talking about her party. I can’t wait to share the pictures. You guys really are the BEST!!” -Dionne Kubin, Birthday Party Client

“If it weren’t for Samara, I seriously would be in a padded cell. I would not have known where to start… I had a vision of what I wanted it to look like, but had no idea how to achieve it. Once we hired Samara, she walked us through the entire process step by step. She put me on a schedule, told me what we needed to do next, knew all of the vendors and venues and made it easy and effortless…every step of the way. It was a pleasure the day our big weekend arrived because I could actually enjoy every minute of it because I knew Samara and her staff were behind the scenes making sure that it was everything we wanted it to be and more. I must say she exceeded our expectations. Hiring Celebrations By Samara was a smart move. If I could give anyone advice who is embarking on a Bar/Bat Mitzvah, wedding or a party, find room in your budget for Celebrations by Samara because they are worth every penny!” -Marlene & David Spolane, B’nai Mitzvah Client

“Samara is a creative genius, full of pep and energy. She organized two very diverse parties for me on the same weekend while 6 months pregnant. One was a 60th birthday surprise party and the other was princess and pirate party for a 4-year old. She was professional and very thorough. The parties happened to fall on the weekend of “the great snow storm of 2009.” That did not hold her back. Samara and her staff managed every aspect of the parties. All I had to do was sit back and enjoy the festivities and good company. Both parties were more than I expected. She not only is fun and creative, but detail oriented. The parties were a huge success! Thank you.” Leslie Manner, Client
