Summary: WOW!
Review: I only wished I had this book (or even better, hired David himself) when I got married last year. After reading this book and looking at the amazing photos, I just know that I could have had the wedding of my dreams. His creativity and taste are truly astounding. The "Tutera Tips" are the best! They are easy and insightful advice that makes for a quick reference for any party. And the holiday section is just breathtaking. This book should be in every home...a true entertaining bible!

Summary: Fantastic Book
Review: I usually do not review items, but this book, A Passion for Parties, I felt I had to. I saw David on "The View" several times and decided to order his book. I am sure glad I did. This is one book I have absolutely enjoyed from page 1. David gives great advice for planning an event. He covers all the finest details on throwing a party from invites right down to how much liquor to order according to your guest count. He also adds humorous stories from his experiences in the industry and very informative tips throughout the length of the book. I recommend this book highly to anyone who throws a party. I can only hope that Mr. Tutera is working on another book to keep me updated on the latest trends.

Summary: What An Easy To Follow Book!
Review: I was given a Passion for Parties as a gift and thought it was great. It has really beautiful color photos and the instructions are actually easy to follow. I like that Tutera outlines every aspect of throwing a party, outside of the obvious (like the food) he also discusses the importance of the invitations, the lighting and the music. This book is really helpful because I feel his "Tutera tips" are all very do-able. Since I have now given this book to all of my girlfriends, I would certainly recommend it to anyone who likes to have gatherings or throw parties.

Summary: Designer's book is a flop
Review: i was quite disappointed. i had hoped for a few things i could incorporate into my own party giving. but i consider it to be a guide to working with a party planner. no recipes, no how tos. for instance the section on music suggest that you ask the DJ for a list of the types of parties he's worked. i'd prefer a list from david of the best jazz cds to serve at brunch.

Summary: Wonderful Party *Planning*!
Review: If you're looking for a book that lays everything out for you, from menu details and what wine goes with what meal, this isn't the book for you. However, if you want to learn about the aspects of THROWING A PARTY - regardless of size, elegance and theme - this book will give you great guidelines; wonderful tips; inspiration and clear, concise information to help you to make the most out of any type of event you want to plan. Truly a book for those who already have their creative juices flowing and just want or need some guidance and direction; presented in a clear and whimsical style that is not only helpful, but a delight to read.

Summary: My Favorite Christmas Present
Review: Of all my Christmas presents, this was the winner. Hands down. Thank you David Tutera! I read it in one sitting -- on my couch -- the day after Christmas. And it filled me with an iresistable urge to entertain. There's so much good advice, it's very reassuring. I've had three parties since I got this book -- all different -- all fun (for me and guests). I keep this book on my bedside table. Get it. It'll make you want to party.

You really get the feeling that anything is possible when it comes to planning a party and that the more unique it is, the better you feel as a host and the more your guests are likely to come back for the next one.
