I Regret to Inform You...

In 2007 my idea to create a quality children's entertainment company offering age appropriate programming became a reality. Along with the talent of my husband and several staff along the way, Party at Your Place, developed a reputation for having the best costumes, the best activities and the best entertainers. In fact, we won an award for it in 2008.

However, companies like mine struggle to promote because we are always at risk of a lawsuit from the very companies that own the characters you want for your children. These companies hire lawyers specifically to hunt us down and tear apart what little business we have. Well, they have won.

I have made the difficult decision to close down Party at Your Place and it hurts. It hurts to see something I have put my heart into fall apart. It hurts to know that the joy we have brought to countless children will be no more. Party at Your Place will be closing down at the end of June 2013.

I want to thank everyone who has ever used our services and/or referred us to friends and family. Thank you for allowing us to share in your child's special day. I have watched many of your children grow up over the past 5 years and really felt like a part of many of your families. I want to thank everyone who has ever sent me or my staff an email filled with kind words about your experience with us. These are the things I will remember and cherish most.

Because of all of you I have experienced so many amazing events. You have dazzled me with your amazing decorating ideas, cakes too beautiful to eat, unique activities or performers, cultural traditions and so much more. I have learned so much from all of you and I thank you.

If you used our services for your child's party my only wish is that we left you and your guests enough memories to last a lifetime. Maybe you will share some of those memories in the comments.
