Goodbye for now! 💛✨

I am so proud of the work I have done with this venture, dedicating well over a year of my life to try out my unique approach to event design - however, the time has come for me to change direction! This journey taught me so much, and challenged me in ways I hadn't imagined, and I am so proud of what I accomplished.

Yet I also learned how important work-life balance is to me, and running The Royal Soiree entirely by myself on my off-hours while also working full time was not manageable in the long term. I'm looking forward to having more time with my husband and loved ones, and to giving myself time to ponder what is next.

I am so grateful to my fabulous clients for choosing me to help with their special celebrations, and I'm honored by all of the kind feedback and positive reviews - I am proud to say that each and every event truly went exactly as I had envisioned. I may continue later on in a different way, but this will be "goodbye for now" to The Royal Soirée, my biggest adventure so far.

I'll be keeping this page up because I think it would be a shame to lose the documentation of all my hard work, but I am no longer accepting bookings. Thank you all for your kind support, your likes, comments, and words of encouragement - they mean more to me than I can say!

Wishing you happy, meaningful, beautiful celebrations.

With Luck and Pixie Dust,

Gretchen 💖

Announcing Princess Picnics! 💖👑💖🌟 Featuring the stunning as our perfect Cinderella 😍
It’s so amazing how collaborating with another creative soul can build a small idea into an outstanding one - it started when and I sat down to coffee to discuss a photo series inspired by our beloved princesses. The concept at first was just for us to have fun and make a gorgeous art collection, with me dressing the set and Beth working her photography magic. By the time our conversation was done, I knew I had to offer small, intimate and regal picnic rentals for everyone to enjoy! I couldn’t just keep this to myself for a single photoshoot! 💖 Our picnic services will launch on our website in May - stay tuned, dear Royals, and for now enjoy this stunning photography by Beth!
Image Descriptions: We see a series of beautiful photos showing our Cinderella Picnic concept. Symone, our model, wears a gorgeous pale blue off the shoulder dress, and her lovely black hair is pulled into a regal ballerina bun. She sits on an antique chair nestled into the picnic setting. The picnic blanket is a soft ivory, dressed with golden mirrors used as trays to hold delicate tea cups and antique dining ware. Little nods to Cinderella’s story appear everywhere, with pumpkins and “glass” slippers, and a giant blue satin bow makes a gorgeous backdrop against the garden exterior.

Happy ! We are “hopping” that everyone has a wonderful day. 👑 This little fellow was hand-painted by our awesome team as the perfect nod to our beloved Frog Prince in our “Frog and Princess” party theme! We believe that high quality details like this make an event truly memorable. 🌟 You’ll always find lots of fun little treasures like this at a Royal Soirée celebration!

This whimsical tablescape features not even a *single* breakable china plate or glass cup! Can you believe it? When designing our events with little ones in mind, we make it a first priority to ensure we use child-safe shatterproof dinnerware… although it certainly looks like the real deal! You can relax and party it up without worrying about breakables! 💖 Celebrate the ! Beautiful photo by the fantastic ✨
