As a girl, I can remember the joy of running around my Grandma Betty’s house, a home full of laughter, love and fantastic entertaining. Even then, I looked forward to the day when I would plan my own special fetes that would draw together the special people in my life.

Now that I have the opportunity to actually live out that dream beyond that of my loved ones, I am brought back to thoughts of my dear grandmother and the regal tone she used when she would call me her “honey darling.” In her memory, I have named this company and in her legacy I will plan parties that she would have loved to attend.

Few would disagree that in life, many of our greatest moments occur when friends and family gather to celebrate something special—a birthday, a graduation, an anniversary or, of course, a wedding.
