Summary: Raising the bar for your party!
Review: After working with David Tutera for corporate events, I am relieved to have a book that allows me to set the stage for the same kind of magic for my very own parties. Never have I been able to find someone that so creatively and masterfully sets the stage for an evening of magic ... and now, David is giving all of us a glimpse into his potions so parties given at home are equally successful. David is a master of detail, and each and every one of us are given the inside scoop by reading this book. If you're someone that likes to entertain -- this is the book to give you some hidden treasures so your guests walk away praising your ability to give the very best! Be ready to toast a most successful party ... cheers!

Summary: Designer's book is a flop
Review: Being heavily involved in producing large events, I would have expected a much better book. The ideas offered were mediocre at best. Better you focus on decor ideas by companies such as Avi Adler or Preston Bailey (their work is of better quality) and consult real caterers for food. Both Avi & Preston are much more creative and versatile than anything offered in this book. I can tell you this from first hand experience.

Summary: All About Working With Party Planners
Review: I expected a book on how to plan your own parties, nice doable tips - not at all what this book is about. If you want tips on hiring a party planner or other party services, this is for you. If you like to do things yourself, ie. cook, plan, decorate, look elsewhere.

Summary: Elegance Made Easy
Review: I have no imagination when it comes to planning a party. This book illustrates beautiful tables settings with easy how-to ideas and instructions. Most helpful were the useful tips on things an amateur like myself would never think of when planning a party. I wish I had had this book when my daughter was married last year!

Summary: Great Reading
Review: I have to say that this is one of the most informative books for planning a party. Everything from a birthday party for a cute pug to an exquisite wedding. This book is full of information on all of the smallest details for planning your special event. The pictures of the events that Mr. Tutera had done is worth the price alone for this book. I have never seen or imagined anything like that to be done. I would highly recommend this book for anyone that plans a party. You will not regret it.
