My favorite event…
…I ever designed was this undeniably epic Disney Princess 5th birthday party for a client in Beverly Hills. I myself started out in the event business 20 years ago as a princess character performer (real Disney princess Susan Egan even called me “the Queen of princesses!”), and then recruited dozens of incredible performers and vendors across the 15 years I’ve run my own bespoke event planning and design company, Papillons Entertainment. Since opening my event planning business in 2006, I’ve been fortunate to work with several of my entertainment heroes, like R&B star Usher, comedian Jim Jefferies, and once I even sent Santa Claus to Britney Spears house.
