We can’t “bear” ly wait!

So thrilled to have been able to help celebrate with this fabulous couple! Congrats on Baby!!

Remember, day of coordination and planning is what we advertise, but decor (balloon garlands, walls, centerpieces, party favors) that’s what we love to get creative with!

Backstory time that leads to a sale!

Two weeks ago I lost one of my biggest supporters. My dearest grandmother decided it was her time to make her way to be with my grandpa and all of her loved ones who went before her. This wonderful lady gave me so much in my life, but two important things that pertain to this post are my mother and my nickname- Magpie. My grandma called me magpie since before I could remember and that is how she knew me as her memory and days faded. Magpies are blackbirds for those who were unaware. With a nickname of Magpie and a last name of Black, it only made sense to name the company Blackbird Events (shout out to my dear friend for the brainstorm). So now that you have heard the history of the company name, let's move to the second portion of the post, my dear mother. Being a role model for all and handling these past years with such grace, the least I could do to honor her leading up to her birthday is a sale. Mom among the first people that I call when I get asked to help your wonderful people with monumental moments in your life. There would be no Blackbird Events without those two women for sure. Soooooo with that being said, help me celebrate these two and save big when you book any party (for any point in the year) and/or any decor for your events by March 14th (ma's birthday).

Out of those who book, you will be entered into a drawing to win a gift card and a bottle of bubbly! My favorite way to celebrate!
