Haunted and Happy Birthday Party - October 29 2016 - Rafter J. Ranch barn - Parrish, FL

11/2/2016

Comments

 



VenueI sure do LOVE my weddings, BUT it is so much fun to do something different from time to time and this was just the breath of fresh air I needed to get me into the Halloween Spirit!  I was asked to plan a Halloween themed party for my client's 9 year old son - complete with a haunted house, tricks, treats and of course a Hayride for all to enjoy!

Guests arrived and enjoyed fall themed catering by Morton's Gourmet - turkey and stuffing sandwiches, cornbread - the works!  

Once it got dark - the haunted house and hayride opened and everyone had a ball (some showed this by screaming, others nervously laughing their way through).  I took this reaction as me doing my job, right?  I mean a haunted house shouldn't be funny!

The storyteller and the hayride was a bit more "kid friendly" and she told halloween stories more suited to the younger crowd.  

I had so much fun working with such a great team to pull this one off - it was definitely outside of the box of  "normal" for me, but going from flowers to fog machines and tears of joy to maybe a few tears of terror was a great change.

Now...what's next on the list of themed parties to plan??
