“You and your team are incredible - thank you for every one of our fabulous memories!”
It's been almost a year since Hannah's Bat Mitzvah and I just wanted to take a minute to thank you again for everything you did to make her day so very special. We've been looking back at the pictures and none of it would have been possible without you. Of course, now you've set THE standard in my mind...we attended a wedding over the weekend that was lovely but really could have used your help. ;) (at one point I seriously leaned over to Chris and said "Julie would have made sure that didn't happen") You and your team are incredible - thank you for every one of our fabulous memories!

“I was blown away by the unexpected (at least to an out of the loop husband like myself) touches.”
Nancy — I just want to let you know what a fabulous job you did on — and leading up to — Saturday! I knew there'd be nice signage and pictures of Zoe and all, but I was blown away by the unexpected (at least to an out of the loop husband like myself) touches. The table name cards that looked like show tickets, the life preserver that her friends were signing. The "AbZOlutE showstopper" sign was very creative and really something!
Thank you thank you for the creativity and production values and all your hard work (and please thank your teammate too), it really made a special event stand out more and be that much more memorable!!

“Your attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism truly exceeded our expectations.”
Jack and I want to express our gratitude for all of the hard work and dedication you put into planning Ryan’s bar mitzvah. The event was an absolute success and we couldn't have done it without you. Your attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism truly exceeded our expectations. From the beautiful decorations to the coordination of the delicious food and entertainment, everything was fabulous and our guests had a wonderful time. Thank you for helping to make this special occasion such a memorable experience for our family. We appreciate all of your efforts and will cherish the memories of this celebration for years to come.

“We definitely couldn't have done this without you!”
Thank you so much for everything you have done to make Avery's day so fabulous. We appreciate all your patience, hard work and enthusiasm answering our endless questions, listening and offering ideas, and your reassuring and always positive work ethic. We defiantly couldn't have done this without you!

“It was the best corporate event I have ever attended.”
It was truly and honor and privilege to work with both of you and your team. [Y]our energy, expertise and professionalism were one of the defining factors for the event’s success. When I was getting frazzled, you were calm and collected; when I was concerned, you had an answer. It was the best corporate event I have ever attended – much of it due to our incredible partnership.

“I'll admit, paying for the help was hard to wrap my head around . . . I will be the first to admit it was well worth it!”
I wanted to thank you again for doing such an amazing job on Austin's party! I apologize for struggling with the costs layout in the beginning. I'll admit, paying for the help was hard to wrap my head around, as I did most of those things myself or with friends for prior similar events. I will be the first to admit it was well worth it! The pictures did not do the centerpieces justice. They were exactly what I was looking for and we got tons of compliments on them. We are excited to use them as décor around our home.
- Jamie - Mom of Bar Mitzvah, May 2022
“We could really see the love and care everyone took in creating each and every piece used to decorate the room.”
Your team went above and beyond and we could really see the love and care everyone took in creating each and every piece used to decorate the room. The logos on the vases and the sign-in mirror were complete "surprise and delight" pieces!! This is a party people will be talking about for the rest of their lives! I can't thank you all enough! I could feel your love for us in all the details!. Much love to you all!

“This is one of the most fun Evenings in the Stacks I've attended.”
I took the survey but just wanted to say this is one of the most fun Evenings in the Stacks I've attended (we've been most years for the past many years). We were able to participate fully (cocktail time and after time) and enjoyed the variety of speakers and the amount of time each had as well as the variety. I wasn't sure what to expect, but the wonderful library staff and everyone else involved in planning did a MARVELOUS job, especially considering you had to develop an entirely new format for the evening.

“Their events are fun, not only for the guests, but also for the event staff. They are easy to work with, and great at communicating exactly what the client expects.”
As a full-time magician, I’ve done thousands of events and worked with hundreds of event professionals. When Innovative Party Planners calls, I can relax, knowing that I’ll be walking into an event that is carefully thought out, well-organized and beautifully executed. Their events are fun, not only for the guests, but also for the event staff. They are easy to work with, and great at communicating exactly what the client expects. I know, well in advance, enough about the event so that I can plan my magic to flow easily into the evening’s activities.
Heidi Hiller is a true field general. She is amazing at coordinating everything: the venue, the sets and decorations, the food and drinks, games, music, dancing contained characters and variety entertainers. She works with the best vendors, who know each other and work seamlessly together. She does a tremendous amount of work ahead of time so that the event itself goes like clockwork. If you’re hosting any sort of social, corporate or charity event, you can relax when Heidi’s on the job!

“She helped with every detail and was so caring during the event, most people thought she was a relative.”
I went for an 8 mile run the morning of my wedding and had brunch with friends-- because I knew Heidi from Innovative Party Planners had all the details worked out. And unlike most brides, I got to enjoy my dinner which was fabulous, because I knew Heidi was making sure everything was going smoothly. And to top it off-- she even brought some leftover soy candles (she hates waste) for free and had them lit on the tables and around the room so it all looked stunning as the sun set. She helped with every detail and was so caring during the event, most people thought she was a relative. There were a couple of potential snafus that could have happened (not her fault at all, it was something to do with the building) and she said, "don't worry, I got this." And she did. Everyone told me how much they loved the space, the food, and the whole vibe of the reception. Heidi is a big reason why.

“Innovative Party Planners helped me create bold and unique centerpieces…”
Innovative Party Planners helped me create bold and unique centerpieces for a carnival themed kids birthday party. The centerpieces were a huge hit and the guests were fighting over which ones they would be able to take home. I will definitely work with IPP again!

“My guests were so impressed and I owe it all to the ladies at IPP!”
I had never thrown a party before so I needed lots of help! Heidi and Kelly held my hand every step of the way! They planned and executed a fabulous party! The venue, centerpieces, linens, and more were professionally done. My guests were so impressed and I owe it all to the ladies at IPP!. Thank you for a great experience!

“Hiring a party planner is definitely an extra expense, but I found it beyond worth it to work with Innovative Party Planners.”
I hired Innovative Party Planners for both of my kids' Mitzvahs and couldn't have been more thrilled with how they both turned out. Heidi and all of her crew are absolute professionals and create amazing events. They will help you with as little or as much as you wish. She listens to what your vision is and makes it happen. She was even helpful for the parts that I wanted to DIY, giving me advice and then helping to pull it all together. She stepped in to coordinate with my other vendors when I was having a very hard time with one of them. For my daughter's event Heidi created a lounge theme on my limited budget. It turned out so beautiful that the pictures were featured in an article in the Baltimore Jewish Times about current Bar/Bat Mitzvah trends. Hiring a party planner is definitely an extra expense, but I found it beyond worth it to work with Innovative Party Planners. It alleviated some stress and I could have never created such memorable events without them.

“Heidi and Rebecca's assistance during the party was the priceless icing on the cake. I saw how much you both coordinated with the many vendors.”
Team IPP - The party you created for Robby was so beautiful. It was above and beyond what we could have imagined. You are amazingly talented and there were so many party goers who let me know how fabulous everything looked. So many guests made sure to let me know that the detail at the party was unbelievable. That was all due to the magic you create. There was no stone left unturned. I know that our event was very involved and took a lot of talent to put together, but you made the process as easy as it could be. I know this because this was our second bar mitzvah and I was able to compare.
Heidi and Rebecca's assistance during the party was the priceless icing on the cake. I saw how much you both coordinated with the many vendors. This is, honestly, something your clients' might overlook when putting together a budget and party. The fact that we could come and simply enjoy our son's day, and that you both were there to make sure the timeline of the party ran smoothly was important, and so well done.
Amazing. Again, I have a comparison, and I will always use your company and recommend you! You provided exceptional service, talent and support. Thank you a thousand times for giving us an incredible day and unbelievable memories!

“She was extremely detail-oriented and made me think through issues I hadn’t even considered…”
I can’t recommend Heidi Hiller with IPP enough. She was extremely detail-oriented and made me think through issues I hadn’t even considered well in advance of my wedding. She is also extremely responsive even at the last-minute. She coordinated with all of our vendors at the end of the planning process so we didn’t have to worry about those minute details. She coordinated a seamless wedding for us! Thank you Heidi!!

“Your creativity, dedication and hard work made my son’s Bar Mitzvah truly special!!”
THANK YOU so much for everything. You guys were absolutely amazing!!! Your creativity, dedication and hard work made my son’s Bar Mitzvah truly special!! The decor was not only exceptional and original, but it was all put together with such care and attention to detail. It was just above and beyond!! You all take such pride in your work product and it absolutely shows. I am so thrilled with everything you did and everything you put together.
You were so patient with me and so understanding of my vision, needs and requirements. I always felt heard and understood. That is so important to a control- freak like me. I was able to express myself without feeling like I offended anyone with my opinion; and that is a sign of true professionalism on all your parts.
My son was overwhelmed with everything. He took another closer look at everything when the party was over, and was just so happy with everything. He truly enjoyed the night, he felt it was all about him and the decor expressed his personality. You guys truly captured and executed on the vision and ambiance I was trying to create.
Thanks again sooo much and I will be working with you on future events… for sure!! I have sung your praises anywhere and to anyone who will listen. Many of my guests were in awe of all that you did. They have your contact info, I am sure you will be hearing from them shortly!

“I was also looking for some ideas to give my party a little ‘something extra’ and Heidi had plenty of them.”
Innovative Party Planners helped me plan and coordinate my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah party. I had already booked all of my vendors but wanted an event planner to help pull my event together. I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. My venue was fantastic but had never hosted a Bat Mitzvah party. The party was really catering to both adults and teens. Heidi’s input regarding room layout and timeline was SO HELPFUL! She definitely thought of things that might had been missed had the event been treated like a wedding. She also coordinated with all of my vendors (who were located in multiple cities) to make sure everyone was on the same page. I was also looking for some ideas to give my party a little “something extra” and Heidi had plenty of them. Some items needed to be fabricated just for the event and they turned out BEAUTIFUL- which was the case with the all of the graphics they provided. We were able to rent multiple random items that I wanted for centerpieces which was great because
1) I didn’t have to go find these things
2) I didn’t have to pay a fortune for these things and
3) I now don’t now have these things cluttering my house.
IPP was there to do as much or as little as I needed (I’m very glad that I had them there the day of the event) and was a pleasure to work with. Thanks so much for making my party a success!

“Heidi and her crew transformed our ordinary school gymnasium into an extraordinarily beautiful dining venue.”
Heidi and her crew transformed our ordinary school gymnasium into an extraordinarily beautiful dining venue. They also created a perfect Parisian bistro in the cafe using exquisite linens and icons of Paris. Heidi can walk into a space and instantly visualize the color and scheme the space needs to make your party innovative and transformational.
