“Dear Amy, Thank you so much for all that you did to help us with Hillary and David’s wedding. We’re all so happy that we had you on board – both in the week leading up to Sunday as well as there with us on the actual day to be the “Master Go-to Person”. You were so responsive and helpful in so many ways and we really appreciated the way you were able to coordinate with the vendors, put our minds at ease, and release us from worry for the evening. If you ever need a reference, we would be happy to talk to any prospective clients to give you rave reviews! Thanks again.”

“Amy, we wanted to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to you for your help in preparing "Josephs Bar Mitzvah Weekend". Everything went so smoothly and was so wonderful, which was largely attributed to your efforts and hard work. Your talents, creativity and attention to detail were such wonderful assets, and all those contributed to making the whole weekend so fantastic. Having you as our party planner was a huge plus and benefit. You always were so sweet to us thruought the planning and you never lost your patience or cool with some of our slow decision making, or even my sometimes strong insistence of doing it a certain way... Thanks again for everything.”
Ahron S. (Father-of-Bar Mitzvah)
“Amy is a gem and wonderful to work with! She is organized, calm, sweet and reassuring and has so many excellent recommendations for vendors, that I am sure she saved us money. Amy helped with every aspect of our party and everything turned out beautifully. We still have friends commenting about how exceptional our celebration was. I was thrilled to have gone through our Bar Mitzvah planning process with minimal stress– all because of Amy. I plan to use Amy again for our next Simcha. She is worth herweight in gold!”
Pam S. (Mother of Bar Mitzvah)
“Good Morning, Amy, I just had to write and tell you how much I enjoyed getting to know you. Both as a party professional and as a fun and pleasant woman. Your organizational skills and good taste helped make the wedding seamless, and I thank you. Often we work with event planners who actually make the job more difficult without adding to the overall flow or energy of the evening. I’m happy to say that last night was the opposite. Your ‘jump in and get it done’ attitude was a pleasure to work with and mirrors our own approach to party making… I look forward to our paths crossing again.”
Bruce Silverlieb, The Party Specialist Catering
“Amy, You went above and beyond. Thank you so much – I could not have done [our daughter’s Bat Mitzvah] without you. I look forward to planning more events together. You are the best.”
Julie G. (Mother of Bat Mitzvah)
“Hi Amy, I just wanted to say thank you for all of your help planning our wedding over the last few months. (We just celebrated our 1 week anniversary!). It was the best night of our lives and we were both so happy. The room looked amazing and every detail was taken care of. Many of our friends said it was one of the nicest weddings they had ever attended and I think that is definitely a result of your efforts.”

(Letter from Hal Slifer to his client): “Hi Shari, I know you had some concerns about finding a Kosher venue in the Boston area. I was speaking to Amy Goldman who plans the best Jewish weddings in the area and she said she can help you find the right Kosher venue for your wedding. I have worked numerous jobs with Amy and she is the best in the business. Planning a Boston wedding from London can be overwhelming, yet having someone like Amy would be great to have on your wedding team.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Amy over the past 3 months while planning my daughter’s wedding. The wedding was held on New Year’s Eve and we were looking to make the event not only an elegant wedding but a fun New Year’s Eve party. Amy was my right hand person who went to meetings with me, communicated with vendors that we used, and helped to facilitate the coordination of the details for the wedding. She always approached things with a smile and exhibited the willingness to go the extra mile. She is creative and is very detail oriented. I always trusted her judgment and my daughter found her to be very calm and helpful the day of the wedding. I would without any question recommend Amy Goldman of It’s your Party… to help coordinate your next event.”
Dena S. (Mother of Bride)
“Dear Amy, I almost feel like this note is an insult to the amount of gratitude I feel to you. Words cannot convey how appreciative I am of your help and support these past few weeks leading up to the Open House. You turned my disparate ideas into a coherent plan full of interesting details and polished touches. I couldn’t have done it without you. You are amazing at what you do, and I’m so glad we got to benefit from your expertise.”

“Hi Amy, Can’t wait to hear the details of the rest of the evening. Sorry I missed the real party because Enna described it to me and it sounded incredible. I so enjoyed spending time with you on Thursday. You certainly put together a lovely event and made it look effortless. Hope we can spend more time together in 2010!”
Joanne McDonough – Joya Beauty
Amy helped us plan our son’s Bar Mitzvah, and she was as excited about the little details as we were -- it was as if she were planning her own son's Bar mitzvah! Her familiarity with how the caterers and vendors worked was invaluable. She carried the burden of the logistics for us so that we could just relax and enjoy. She has great creative vision and makes all that she does seem effortless. Our son's Bar Mitzvah turned out exactly how we hoped it would, and this was in large part due to Amy's help."
Nancy K. and Andy B. (Parents of Bar Mitzvah)
“Amy Goldman helped me with every aspect of my son’s Bar-Mitzvah this past September. From the larger details like dealing with the caterer to the smaller details like decorating vases for centerpieces, Amy’s professionalism and warm smile puts you at ease. I just knew that everything would run smoothly and it would be exactly the way I envisioned. One thing that I tell people when they ask about Amy is that she has this amazing ability to figure out exactly what you want for your event even when you think that you don’t know. She then tackles every detail quickly and efficiently always smiling and making sure that you are happy. I have been to many of Amy’s parties and each one is different and reflects the personality and the wishes of the host family. If there is a glitch Amy is never rattled, she just takes care of it quickly and creatively. Amy Goldman is amazing! I truly could not have done it without her.”
