Private Party & Celebration Planner
Milestone birthdays, anniversaries and family celebrations, planned so the host gets to enjoy the party.
The person who throws the party is usually the one who sees least of it: checking deliveries, chasing the DJ, finding more chairs. Nelle takes that role, so you can greet your guests, make the toast and stay for the photographs.
She has planned celebrations in private homes and gardens as well as at hotels and venues, and she knows what a home event needs that a venue would normally provide: power, furniture, parking, toilets for a large group and a plan for the weather.
Planned and run by Sharonelle, founder of House of Nelle.
