Truly great parties cast a powerful spell. They delight the
senses, lift the spirit, and enchant their hosts as well as
their guests. No one wants them to end, and in fact they
never do, as the best ones live on as cherished memories.
But how exactly do you produce one of these magical
gatherings? The first thing you do is consult David
Tutera's A Passion for Parties. One of the world's
premier event planners, Tutera produces extraordinary
parties for such disparate luminaries as the Rolling Stones,
Tipper Gore, and the Prince of Wales. Now, in this lavishly
illustrated entertaining guide, he reveals his trade secrets
and helps you stage your own unforgettable event. As
inspiring as it is informative, A Passion for Parties
is a comprehensive guide to planning any kind of party, on
any size budget. Tutera begins with the basics: how to find
a location; select the invitation; choose a theme; and make
decisions about menus, table settings, music, lighting,
flowers, and decor. Then he shows you how to apply those
basics to a variety of events: intimate gatherings, birthday
parties, weddings, formal celebrations, and holiday
entertaining. For the major events, he guides you through
the technical details -- what to know if hiring a caterer,
live band, valet parking, or tenting service -- and pulls in
specialists like wedding cake expert Sylvia Weinstock and
culinary master Wolfgang Puck. Best of all, Tutera
identifies the key elements of all parties, large or small,
and offers a dazzling array of possibilities to make each
party special. Throughout the book you will find dazzling
photographs that bring all of his ideas to life. So whether
you are planning a romantic fireplace picnic, a ladies'
breakfast, a tented bat mitzvah bash, a New Year's dinner
party, a Memorial Day clambake, or the wedding to end all
weddings, David Tutera helps you throw the party with your
own personal flair. As lighthearted as it is invaluable,
David Tutera's A Passion for Parties is sure to
become your party bible.
