Soiree

Two Year Special!

2012-01-13T08:24:00.000-08:00

Soiree is celebrating their 2nd birthday! In honor of this monumental accomplishment, they are offering a 2 year special...... BUT you must act fast! This special price will only be in effect for 24 hours and must be paid in full at the time of booking. They are offering all regular birthday parties for only $130. That is a savings of $70. Start time Friday, January 13th 10:00am end time Saturday January 14 10:00am.

Lego Indiana Jones

2011-12-14T16:25:00.000-08:00

Now here's a great example of working with a fun momma to mix her ideas with some of our own!

When this particular momma called to book her son's party she knew she wanted a Lego Indiana Jones party for her son who L-O-V-E-S Legos. She had read through our theme list and decided mixing our Safari theme with some of her awesome ideas would do the trick. Indeed it did!

We had so much fun at this party and my goodness the entire group of kiddos was super well behaved and had the best manners ever!

Oh The Joys of Clearance Shopping

2011-11-09T07:50:00.000-08:00

Boy oh boy do I look forward to the clearance shopping out there for post Halloween. Can't you just imagine the great things we are able to score at a great price? Last year we loaded up on pirate costumes. This year I was hoping for more costumes to add to the Rock Star theme but...you all must have beat me to the punch. It's ok, I'll forgive you. :)

What I did score was a LOT of black light bulbs. Those boogers are normally high dollar. What do I use black light bulbs for you ask? Black Out Parties of course! Here is a picture of one we hosted last year. A Black Out Party is perfect for ages 15-18ish. We black out all the windows so it is literally pitch black in the space, then we change out the regular light bulbs with black lights. The kids wear white and fluorescent clothing. We provide you with hundreds of glow sticks and highlighters. The highlighters are used to write messages on the kids white shirts. The black lights in combination with the DJ lighting we have make for a magical night of dancing and fun for these kids. Our sound system is great! We have all the newest music but of course, at this age they want their own mix so, by all means bring their phone or laptop and we'll plug it into our system.

Since I saved money on the bulbs, why not offer you a savings too?

This four hour custom party would normally go for $650. If you book it in the next 30 days, I can offer this party for $400. Take advantage of this price for a milestone party...maybe a sweet 16, the big 18 or even plan now for a grand graduation bash. Some really smart moms combine parties with BFFs so the families split the expense. Now that's s-m-a-r-t.

Teenagers Love Soiree.

Looking for a place to host your tween or teen's birthday party? Tired of the same old places? Consider Soiree! We've hosted several parties for teens. They get to hang out, sing on stage, dance, eat, drink and make memories they will never forget. Our space includes funky furniture, a great sound system you can plug your own music into, DJ quality lighting, and much more- all included in our very reasonable price. You get peace of mind knowing they are in a safe place...and best of all...not in your house. Call or email us today to book. We can do a simple space rental or a themed party.

What People Are Saying

2011-10-07T08:07:00.000-07:00

Our clients are always so good to us! So many of them take the time to email or call to tell us what a great time their child had at his or her birthday party. We thought it was high time we share some of those kind words with you. We rely very heavily on word of mouth so your kind words are invaluable to us. Here is the most recent compliment we graciously received.

Fawn,

Just wanted to take a minute to say thank you for the great job you did on Eli's Color Extreme Party! It was a huge success :) all of our guests have raved about it and most importantly, Eli loved it!! I kept asking him what his favorite part was and he just said - spending time with his friends :). Thank you for putting up with all my party quirks! I really enjoyed the party & could focus on taking pictures and watching Eli rather than entertaining. You've got a good thing going here and I pray for lots of success for you guys! I'm sure you'll be seeing us again. Hope you have a great weekend.

P.S. Kai did a great job too!

Frogs Snails and Puppy Dog Tails

2011-09-20T10:33:00.000-07:00

We love our little boys. I have two of my own and I know it can be very difficult to find a party place for those little stinkers. Don't be fooled by the pink you see in many of Soiree's pictures. We do AWESOME boy parties-and I mean boys from young to old. Some of the more popular themes for our boy parties are:
Minute To Win ItRock StarPirate
LuauChefArtThanks to one of our smart mommies, we are now pleased to add another great boy party...
Mighty Machines

If your boy is into fire trucks, dump trucks, tractors and back hoes this is the party theme for him. Our first Mighty Machines party is coming up soon. We'll be sure and post some pictures.

Give us a call to book your little boy's birthday party and we'll drop all that pesky pink stuff and pull out the manly blues, greens, yellows and reds.

Don't forget about our Fall Special! Scroll down to see the details of the special.

Fall Special

2011-09-16T09:04:00.000-07:00

Well if this weather isn't just the best thing since...fall last year, we don't know what is! Doesn't the change in seasons make you want to clean your house, organize your closets, dust your ceiling fans and save some money?

Although we are not so willing to help you with the dusting, and organizing, we can help with the saving money part.

From now until October 16, 2011 Soiree is offering $50 off all new* party bookings. Just let us know when you call, or email to book your party that you saw our ad.

Get it? 50-Smackers, 50-greenbacks,50-bills? Yeah, we're feeling sort of corny today. ;)

*This special only applies to parties that have not yet been booked.

For Everything There Is A Season...

2011-08-18T17:48:00.000-07:00

I don't know about you, but this is my favorite season. Not the 104 degree part, but the part where I can bring some sense of order back into my home. The part where there is a set bed time and rise time and we follow a schedule, albeit a hectic one.

For me, the end of August might as well be January. It's like a new start and I always go through this period of nesting right before school starts. We've dropped off our out grown clothes and books that don't get read anymore to our favorite thrift store and ministry, Dividing Bread in Collinsville. We've organized our school clothes so picking out our outfit will be easy breezy (at least for the first week or so). We've laid down the law on homework before play, knowing where our back packs are, and taking a shower every night. It feels good. It feels organized.

I imagine most of you are in the same mode. Now that you've gotten your wee ones and not-so-wee-ones off to school, take a deep breathe, enjoy your morning coffee, take a look at our calendar and get the rest of the year's parties booked. Remember, we not only host little girl parties but also, boy parties, adult parties, teen parties, bridal and baby showers and space rentals.

Don't wait too long, 3pm comes sooner than you think. ;)

Pick Your Besties For The Best Party

2011-05-23T15:26:00.000-07:00

We know you want to include everyone. You never want anyone to feel left out, never want to hurt any one's feelings and want everyone to be happy.

After all, your super uber nice that way.

However, here's what we've found: When you invite everyone from here

here

here

and here

to your sweet child's birthday party, it tends to be just a little bit too much.

We want your child to feel the most special they have ever felt on their special day. We focus the entire party on and around them. We play songs they love, we give them choice cake cuts, we have all guests tell them their most favorite thing about them, we love and hug on them as much as we can but, when there are a gazillion friends at your child's party the focus on them just isn't as magnified. We have found the ideal number of guests is between 10-15. Many more than that can easily turn a great party into ~~mass hysteria~~ a more hectic one. *Please note, we are talking about kiddos here, not adults...bring all the adults you want.

Our suggestion is that you tell your child they have to make a list of their 10-12 very most special friends and explain those are the friends they may invite. If you have a large family with lots of siblings and cousins perhaps you have a party with only them or maybe you have two parties, one for family and one for friends.

We have found the best and most discrete way to get those invites in the hands of the besties without hurting the feelings of the other children is to ask the teacher or coach to place them in back packs or hand them to the parents of the children.

Now, having said all of that, if you really really want to invite the whole kit n caboodle of kids you know...we're flexible that way, we just thought we'd share our opinion. :)

Calling All Stylists!

2011-05-19T10:00:00.000-07:00

If you are a stylist, you know a stylist or you use a stylist...listen up! Soiree is looking to network with local stylists. This will cost the stylist NotHinG, nAdA, zIp. The best part is the stylist will earn $25 in Soiree credits every time one of their clients books a party with Soiree.

So if you are one, know one, or use one, have the stylist email Soiree at soireeoklahoma@gmail.com for details on this great program.

That right there, is what you call a win-win!

Food and Your Teens Party!

2011-05-16T17:16:00.000-07:00

Teens and food go hand in hand right? Well......not always!

We have seen some pretty lavish spreads for Teen parties......and while we at Sorie'e are more than impressed, we have seen most of it hauled back out to the car at the end of the night. Here are some things we have learned that Teens don't find "cool, groovy, or _____(insert new buzz word here) when it comes to their parties and food.

Ask yourself these questions:

1.) Would I like to eat this party with my grown up friends? If the anwer is yes.....then don't serve it.

2.) When I was a teen if my Mom carried in her 1970's Crock Pot would I have been embarressed?........then don't serve it.

3.) Is this food something that I can eat with my hands and look cool doing it? You are starting to catch on!

We have found that Teens are actually way cooler and easier going than we would have ever imagined! They are some of our favorite people! Their needs are simple......water, pizza, candy and cake.

They are looking for a cool place to hang out......with THEIR music......where no one tells them to TURN IT DOWN.......where they can dance (We like to call it BUST A MOVE.....but that usually gets blank stares!)

......and you, well we know, you are looking for a safe place for your Teen to have a BLAST -one that is taylored to their personality....one that will be the talk of the town, one that they will remember for the rest of their lives.......and we KNOW how to (yes, we are going there.......) BUST A MOVE at Soire'e!!!

Party Tips

2011-05-10T14:57:00.000-07:00

We've learned a thing or two about how to have a great party. We thought we'd share some of those tips with you all.

Tip #1:

Momma's Mood Matters

Moms, listen up. The reason you're having the party with Soiree is to take the stress off of you. We take care of everything. All you have to do is send out invites, bring the cake, the drinks and the birthday child. As soon as you walk in the door, we take over. If you spend the hours leading up to the party stressed out and worried, the birthday child picks up on your mood. Not only that, but it sets the tone for the whole party. I know, I know, that's not fair at all. But it is true. We've seen it time and time again. Momma comes in happy and excited for a great party and a great party we shall have. On the other hand, when Momma comes in with the weight of the world on her shoulders...well, we still have a great party, but everyone has to work harder to get to that happy place.

So, if you feel like this

take a deep breath, and let's work more on looking like this

Come with a happy heart. Leave your dirty laundry, dusty nick knacks, and responsibilities at the door. We'll give ya a big fat hug at the door and the next hour and a half is going to be nothing but fun. We promise!

Now let us host your best party ever.

Minute To Win It

2011-02-07T17:41:00.001-08:00

Oh my word. This theme has become a huge hit for all ages! We've hosted 5 year olds to 13 year olds with this theme. It really is a riot. If you're looking for something outside of the box, book Minute To Win It with us today.

Teens In Tutus

2010-09-17T18:45:00.001-07:00

Get a load of how stinking cute these girls are. They came to a younger girl's party the other day and we thought they were so cute in those tutus and knee high socks. We just had to snap a few pictures. One of them is even having her own dance party tomorrow night.

I'm learning to love teenagers and not fear them. ;)

A Fun Wedding Reception

2010-09-14T09:12:00.001-07:00

It probably goes without saying, but if you haven't figured it out yet, Soiree isn't exactly the most conventional place to hold your wedding reception. I mean, where else do you take pictures in your gown while riding on a baby blue antique bicycle? Or pile into an old claw foot tub with your groom and some of your besties?

That's how we like it at Soiree. We are quaint, we are quirky and we are quite happy to keep it that way.

Take a look at the "K's" pictures below. They were such a sweet and fun couple! We are glad to have been a part of your very most specialist day.

Poor Neglected Blog

2010-09-12T17:57:00.000-07:00

I know, I know, since Soiree acquired our fancy pantsy new website, thanks to the help and photography of Angela Roadman Photography, we haven't updated our blog at all. That's just awful because even though our website is amazing and I look at it all day long when I should be doing laundry, it's important to update the blog too because that's where we are able to share many more party pictures with you.

We've been very busy and love that you all have been choosing Soiree for your party place. We've done plenty of birthday parties, a few Bridal Showers, and even another Wedding Reception.

I'll get back on track updating the blog. Here are a few shots from a recent Spa Party.

It's so much fun when the kiddos walk through the door and say, "WOW!!" That's pretty much the goal with each and every party.

If you wouldn't mind, we'd sure love to WOW your wee-one. Call us today to book your best party ever. There may even be a coupon on Owassoisms. ;)

Miss G Is A Chef For A Day

2010-07-08T20:48:00.000-07:00

We loved having this sweet little red-head! She was a joy and brought LOTS of fun friends.

We hope you enjoyed your birthday Miss. G.

Miss A Rocked It With Her Hannah Montana Party

2010-06-21T13:21:00.001-07:00

Such a sweet and beautiful little girl. We loved having you Miss A.

Sometimes it can all just be too much.

Look at all those Hannah Montana fans.

Lots of wonderful presents.

Mmmmm, the cake.

Making her wish.

Party In The USA.

40th Birthday Brunch

2010-06-09T06:03:00.000-07:00

Soiree, it's not just for kids anymore.

Mrs. S had a 40th birthday brunch at Soiree recently. I'm glad I know her. She's a sweetheart. Thank you Mrs. S.

A Wedding Reception

2010-06-08T07:32:00.000-07:00

This family is amazing! We really enjoyed working with them on our first big event. They were so kind and patient with us. Best wishes to the sweet Bride and Groom. May God bless you both.

Loved her color choice.

I can only imagine what's going through Mom's mind here. Such a sweet picture.

We sort of adopted Aunt Sharon. She has been a professional caterer for many years and taught us a thing or two. Thank you Aunt Sharon!

A few hours before this picture was taken, we were having a Princess/Pirate party. Crazy huh?

Luau Summer Party

2010-06-08T05:30:00.000-07:00

Miss A decided we needed to add Luau to our list of party themes and we're glad she did, because the Luau party was F-U-N, fun! We hope you had a great birthday party A-girl.

How low can you go?

Seriously, this child can hula for days....

What a good sport.

Silly giggling girls.

Yes Mr. L, be sure to poke your head in there too.

Be sure to scroll down to read about our recent move. We are now located at 1014 West Main Street.

Too Big For Our Britches

2010-06-04T10:38:00.000-07:00

I've been known on occasion to tell my kids they are too big for their britches. It usually isn't meant as a "positive". Well in this case, it couldn't be more positive. Business is great at Soiree and the fact is, our current location is no longer able to accommodate our business needs. We are just bursting at the seams so....drum roll please...WE'RE MOVING!

I know, I know. Our location is awesome and charming and vintage and industrial and all around great. Really, did you think we would compromise any of those attributes? Of course not. We are only moving one block East of our current location and still on Main Street in Collinsville. We are excited to say we will now be ADA compliant, we are at street level, we have more space and can more easily convert from child party to adult party. The move will be complete by June 11th, just in time for Hogs and Hot Rods. The new diggs still sport the exposed brick walls that you all love, an amazing tin ceiling and all the charm that goes along with the history of downtown Collinsville, Ok.

Our new address is 1014 West Main Street Collinsville OK. Now plug that into your navigational device and come give us a visit.

We want to host your best party ever!

Two New Party Themes Added

2010-06-01T12:25:00.000-07:00

We are happy to announce we've added two new themes to our awesome line-up!

First we 've added the Luau party. This party is perfect for any age. From very young to older we can adapt to fit the needs of your birthday boy or girl. We will have pictures up soon of a recent Luau we had for Miss A, a seven year old girl.

Second, we have added a Dinosaur themed party. We know it can be hard to find places and themes for little guys, but we've got them covered at Soiree with the Dinosaur party. Of course, if your little girl is anything like mine, she'd also love the dinosaur theme.

For a full list of our them options, go to our profile page.

We looK foRwarD to Hosting yOur BeSt Party eVer!

Nothing Says A Good Time Like A Hot Pink Limo

2010-05-28T18:32:00.000-07:00

Soiree is excited to announce we have teamed up with Kristal Limousine! They have a full fleet of limos to offer and are working with us to offer them to you for your party or event. The next time you are planning a party, we hope you'll allow us the opportunity to make your party the best one ever!

Ribbon Cutting

2010-05-10T10:50:00.001-07:00

We must be for-real because we celebrated our official ribbon cutting with Mayor Stan Sallee and other Chamber members on Thursday! Riley was on hand to cut the ribbon. Don't tell her sister or my three kids. They would be ~~nine kinds of mad about that~~ so happy for Riley.

Thank you to the Chamber of Commerce and the City of Collinsville for your warm welcome. We are looking forward to working with you for a very long time.

In other news, Soiree has booked it's first wedding reception for May 22nd. We could not be more excited! There are 80 guests expected and the bride and groom are just so sweet! We are working with a wonderful caterer whom we have worked with before, Rainey Talbot of Owasso. If you'd like information on her business let me know. We love to support other small business owners.

If you haven't heard, Pump It Up in Broken Arrow is now closed. Sincerely, we hate to hear of any business having to close. When business is good for everyone, it is best for everyone. But if you know someone who had planned a party with them and are now at a loss of what to do, we hope you'll send them our way. After all...our parties really do rock! Just ask any of the folks below this post what they thought.

Friday night was another teen dance party. In the words of the momma who helped plan it, "It's so nice the teens have a place to dance without it seeming like it's a bad place to be." We couldn't agree more momma. Thank you for your business and send me some of those pictures so we can get them up on the blog!

Cooking Club

2010-04-28T09:43:00.000-07:00

There is a group of women who have a monthly cooking club at Soiree. Misty and I may or may not be a part of this club...Ok, we totally are. That's me with the black and blue striped shirt, and Misty is on the end giving another girl a look that says..."Girl, you are one crazy chick."

Are you part of club that meets monthly? Wouldn't you like an uber cool place to meet? Call me. We'll block a day or night during the week for you and you're club once per month. You'll have the time of your life!

Parties Parties Parties!

2010-04-12T18:56:00.000-07:00

Saturday was a day packed with parties at Soiree. We started the day off with a Fairy party for sisters "R" and "S". Lucky mom, they have birth dates only a few weeks apart so she decided to celebrate a shared birthday party. S-M-A-R-T! Such sweet sweet girls and very well behaved. Our loft space was pinked out for this Fairy party. Let's just say, if you need any tulle or silk roses in the Tulsa area, you may be hard pressed to find any. I'm pretty sure we bought all there was.

To quote Miss "R"..."I had TOO MUCH FUN, now I don't ever want to leave this place." Hey "R", I'll take that testimony any day. Thanks.

We had fun with them too. Take a look at the pictures below.

Our next party was a Spa party for "G" and her 10 year old friends. Following that, we had to get the space de-girled in order to host a Guitar Hero party for 7 year old Mr. "B". I will post those pictures as soon as I have them.

If you are thinking about a party of any kind, we hope you'll consider Soiree.

16 Year Old Black Out Party

2010-03-21T13:28:00.001-07:00

Truth be told, Misty and I were a bit scared of what we were getting ourselves into with this Black Out Party or Rave. We decided that even though we we not technically "working" this party, we'd stay on hand and get some work done in our office. Well let me just say, these kids were great! This was "J's" 16th birthday and he and his friends just like to dance. Dance they did too! The idea of a Rave or a Black Out Party is that the room is totally blacked out. We covered the windows with black plastic and changed the light bulbs to black lights. The kids wore white or neon clothes so they would glow in the black lights. In addition, we provided them with glow sticks. These kids had a ball! Misty and I learned a lot about what music is cool today...hey, they even played some old school music. Remember Jump Around??? It's hot today! Who knew?

Thank you "J" and "J's" mom for using Soiree for your party. We hope you have fun and will consider us again for your next party.

Thanks to the fancy "night setting" on my camera, you can see the kids in the darkness because it was seriously dark in here.

Are these clothes hilarious or what?! How fun!!

DJing is a full time job. I don't think they ever let one song play all the way through without changing it to another song.

The birthday boy!

This kid is 15...hello NBA.

Remember how we used to carry a boom box on our shoulder? That's old school people. Today you connect your lap top to the sound system. Even Misty and I didn't know you could do that. Thanks for the tip guys!

"J's" 15th Birthday

2010-03-14T11:50:00.001-07:00

"J" celebrated her 15th birthday with us at Soiree. I'm glad she did. It was sort of a last minute thing, but looks like her parents pulled it off. I think Dad might have enjoyed himself. Good thing he didn't find the dresses in the closet to go with that hat. Just kidding Dad...no way you would have done that...right?

Thank you "O" family for using Soiree!

Masquerade Party!

2010-03-07T17:55:00.001-08:00

E's mom and I have been working on this surprise party for a while. I think we pulled it off. The kids dressed up and were handed masks at the door. The birthday girl arrived 3o minutes after all the other guests and we did the classic..."SURPRISE" Yell as she walked in the door. The birthday girl was swept away to get dressed in the beautiful dress that was waiting for her. The kids danced and ate for a while. Then we all hopped in cars for a scavenger hunt around town. I think they really enjoyed knocking on doors and asking for crazy items like "a man juggling".

If you need a place for a great party or any event...consider Soiree.

The birthday girl, Miss "E" was a total sweetheart. Happy 13th E!

Such a great group of kids. Y'all are welcome back anytime.

A Cowgirl Princess Celebrates her day at Soiree

2010-02-22T19:38:00.000-08:00

If you've ever seen a cuter red headed cowgirl, I'd sure like to see her because Miss K is the cutest one I've ever seen. If she could have brought her horse into Soiree, I'm certain she would have. Thank you for having your party with us!!

A Momma's Testimony

2010-02-17T02:49:00.001-08:00

"Fawn and Misty,
We had a phenomenal time! You both did a great job on decorations and hosting! I will not hesitate to tell everyone I know that we had the best experience with Soiree! Good luck and we look forward to our next party with you. Thank you for helping make my Sunshine Girl's birthday one she wont soon forget. Let me know if you decide to do a play date over Spring Break. I know Railee would definitely love to come back."
-Andra Barham

A Bunch of Little Chefs

2010-02-16T19:02:00.001-08:00

OK, I have to admit, I think the chef party is my favorite so far. These little chefs made mini pizzas and looked so cute in the chef hats. I hope you loved your party Miss K.

An Arts-y Party

2010-02-15T19:07:00.000-08:00

Oh my goodness we had so much fun at this brother/sister combo party. Mr. S and Miss S were just so funny. Everyone painted a plate they were then able to take home with them. We are looking forward to seeing your new baby in a few weeks guys! Thank you for coming to Soiree.

A Princess Party for Sweet "P"

Take A Look

2010-02-10T12:12:00.000-08:00

Finally we have some pictures for you. The first few are of the kick off party. I'd say it was a huge hit with the 30-something 10 year olds who attended. This Saturday we have back-to-back parties. First an art party for a brother and sister and then a Princess party for sweet Miss P.

Thank You For Sharing

Soiree would like to thank all of you Moms who have been spreading the word about our great party space. When I get a phone call inquiring about a party, I always ask how they heard about us and time and again it was a friend who saw us on Owasso Area Moms, or a friend of a friend, or some other connection from word of mouth. We know a business lives or dies by word of mouth and it means a lot to us that you all are sharing us with your friends.

We are getting pretty booked up for February, but do still have a few openings. If you need a space for a child's party, or any kind of party we hope you'll consider Soiree. Our space is approximately 1800 sq feet of open space. We have gleaming hard wood floors, exposed brick walls, and a tin ceiling. Our 95 year old building provides a lot of character for any party. Your child will enjoy our Jupiter Jump, a dressing room full of costumes for a themed party, a stage, an amazing sound system and a disco ball.

If you need a place to host a business luncheon, a baby shower, a wedding shower, a rehearsal dinner, or anything at all, Soiree is a space unlike any other you'll find.

A Kick Off Party!

2010-01-12T09:41:00.000-08:00

January 29th is our official kick off party for Kai Ozug. Kai is celebrating his tenth birthday and has invited 42 guests. Celebrating a ten-year-old-boy's birthday is proof that, although we are fantastic at the kiddie party, we can also seriously rock an older child's party.

If you're still not clear on what we do, feel free to call and schedule a time to come by and take a look.

Our unique and wonderful space, which boasts over 1800 sq ft, is available for not only birthday parties, but also for play dates, rehearsal dinners, receptions, showers, and luncheons.

Ikea Bliss

2009-12-24T04:01:00.000-08:00

There are something like seven wonders of the world. I can't even begin to name them. I am certain though, that one of them is Ikea. If it's not, then I lobby that we expand the list to eight.

Misty and I are meeting up December 26th at Ikea to shop for Soiree. It is quite possible that the driving force behind starting this business was so we would have a reason to spend an entire day shopping at Ikea. I know, I know, it's alot to invest of our time and money just to create a need to spend one full day at Ikea, but if you don't understand, then I venture to say, you've never been to Ikea.

At any rate, I am already in the DFW area for Christmas. Misty is making the drive by herself early Saturday. We will ~~cram~~ carefully pack everything we can get our grubby hands on into her HHR so she can then turn right back around and make a 10 hour round trip back to Tulsa with the goods. In all seriousness, pray for Misty. That's a lot of driving in one day.

Misty is on vacation the week after Christmas so we are 85% certain we can get the shop 95% done. (I have to give myself percentage goals to stay focused if you haven't noticed)

The space is looking awesome! The Jupiter jump is up. Our kids have tested it out for all of your kids and they give it the big thumbs-up. We have already booked several parties and can't wait to book yours. Give us a call or shoot us an email and we'll put you on our books too.

One last note: We are going to host a birthday party once per quarter for a child in need. Could be a special needs child, a family who is struggling financially, or some other need you know about. We'd like your help on what we should call this project and who you know that might qualify as a child in need. The party will be free to the chosen family.

In the wise words of my business partner Misty..."Love, Peace and Chicken Grease Y'all"

Kerosene and Polyurethane

2009-12-06T18:42:00.000-08:00

Soiree is in a building that is around 80 years old I suppose. The space is beautiful but as of right now we don't have heat. An 80 year old building with no heat when it's 20 degrees outside makes for a chilly night of work. (ONG is coming on Wednesday so we'll be toasty by then)

Misty and I put on several layers and lit the kerosene heater while we applied polyurethane to the counter tops and cabinets. Let me just say it's a good thing we live very near Soiree because driving after two hours of that concoction was not such a swift move.

Things are looking fantastic! The counter tops are pretty wild, but we think the wild against the historic brick walls and tin ceiling is the perfect combination. This week we will finish the kitchen complete with new cabinet doors that have been salvaged from an old greenhouse here in town. I guess you can say we are green, but really just thrifty, the doors were free! They were actually the windows on the greenhouse. We are going to clean them up and hinge them to the cabinets. The glass will allow you to see inside of the cabinets that we've ModPodged scrapbook pages to.

Tonight as we worked we brainstormed some ideas for an Open House in January. I actually think we'll be ready by mid January...that might just be the kerosene/poly mix talking though.

Progress

2009-12-03T15:59:00.000-08:00

We are chugging along at Soiree. Today was a day of great progress. Misty currently works a full time job so when she has a day off we are able to double-time it.

She showed up this morning with her tool box which I thought was quite impressive.

Misty spent the day cutting up and pulling out the ~~nasty~~ unattractive carpet from what will be the dressing room. Once she had the carpet and the pad up, she moved on to the joyful job of pulling out thousands of staples from the wood floor. GO MISTY! You are my hero.

I worked in the kitchen while Cannon was a ~~nuisance~~ big helper. He and I removed all of the cabinet doors and lined the inside of the cabinets with some quirky paper.

All in all a great day for Soiree!

Don't forget we are booking parties now so call or email us today to plan your perfect party.

Opening Soon!

2009-12-01T10:03:00.000-08:00

We could not be more excited to bring the first of it's kind party business to Collinsville. We plan to open in February, 2010, but things are moving so quickly, there is a possibility we will open in January.

Initially we will offer full service themed birthday parties such as...

Princess
Rock Star
Pirate
Western
Sports
Trains
and more...

What does "full service" mean? Simply put...

All you have to do is show up!

We will handle as much or as little of the party as you'd like. Want us to invite your guests? We do that. Want us to bring the cake, set up the room according to your theme choice, direct the children through game time, present opening time, and cake time? We do all of that too. Would you like us to keep track of who brought what gift so we can send out the thank you cards? Guess what...We even do that!

Every child will leave with a memory of the best party they've ever been to and a goodie bag full of treats.

The best part for you is

No Clean Up!

Our unique and wonderful space, which boasts over 1800 sq ft, will be available for not only birthday parties, but also for play dates.

By Summer of 2010 we expect to be able to accommodate other types of parties like wedding receptions, business luncheons, holiday parties, and family reunions. Pretty much, if you need a space Soiree is that all inclusive meeting area. We will be able to offer catering with a full wait staff or a buffet style set-up.

We are currently booking parties for February so call today to schedule your party.
