Everything you need to know before securing your date.
GETTING STARTED
What is the first step to working together?
Start by submitting an inquiry with your event date, location, guest count, and overall vision. From there, we review availability and determine if we’re the right fit. If aligned, we move forward with design planning and proposal development.
Can I call to discuss my event?
We do not accept direct phone calls for new inquiries. All events must begin through the inquiry form. This allows us to review details, check availability, and prepare before moving forward. If needed, a call can be scheduled after your inquiry is submitted.
What types of events do you specialize in?
We specialize in fully styled, experience-driven events including:
• Luxury kids parties
• Sleepover experiences
• Activity-based parties
• Custom backdrops & installations
• Balloon styling
• Venue transformations
• Custom builds & focal moments
Every event is designed from scratch and tailored to your vision.
Who are your typical clients?
We work with families, brands, high-profile sports figures, influencers, and clients seeking elevated, fully styled event experiences. Whether intimate or large-scale, each event is designed with the same level of intention and detail.
Are you just a planner who coordinates vendors?
No. The Party Heist is design-led and hands-on. Leah is a trained artist and graphic designer with a creative background that began in baking, design, and hands-on event production. That foundation provides real experience across the elements that go into an event, allowing us to design with intention rather than simply coordinating vendors.
Many components are created in-house to ensure a cohesive, high-end result.
Do you offer full-service event design?
Yes. We design the entire experience including layout, styling, focal points, balloons, backdrops, and visual details so everything feels cohesive and intentional.
BOOKING & INVESTMENT
How do I reserve my date?
A deposit is required to reserve your event date. Deposit amounts vary depending on the type of event and overall scope.
How much is the deposit?
Deposit amounts vary across events. For full event styling, a 50% deposit is typically required to secure your date. Smaller services or rental-based bookings may require a different deposit amount.
When is final payment due?
Final payment for events is due two weeks prior to the event date. This allows time for final production, scheduling, and preparation.
Is the deposit refundable?
Deposits are non-refundable as your date is reserved, planning begins and inventory is allocated specifically for your event.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking at least 8 weeks in advance. Larger events and custom builds may require additional time.
Do you accept last-minute bookings?
Depending on availability. Rush fees may apply for short notice events.
Do you travel outside of Delaware?
Yes. We travel locally and nationwide. Travel may include driving or flying depending on the location. Travel fees, lodging, and transportation may apply for events outside of our local service area.
Can you fly for events?
Yes. We travel by plane for select events and handle logistics to execute the design on-site.
SLUMBER PARTIES
What is included in a sleepover experience?
Our sleepovers are fully styled experiences, not basic setups. Each includes styled tents, air mattresses, fitted sheets, trays, decorative pillows, themed design elements, and balloon styling. Additional upgrades such as backdrops, activities, favors, and personalized details can be added.
How much space is needed?
Each tent requires approximately 8 feet in length and 3 feet in width. We recommend measuring your space in advance to ensure proper layout and walkways. We can also help determine how many tents your space can accommodate.
Do you provide mattresses?
Yes. Each tent includes a comfortable air mattress with fitted sheet and styled bedding.
How many guests can you accommodate?
Sleepovers can be designed for small, intimate setups or larger group experiences depending on your space.
Are balloons included?
Yes. Balloon styling is included with our sleepover experiences. Placement and design vary based on layout and styling level.
Do you deliver and set everything up?
Yes. We handle delivery, full setup, styling, and next-day pickup.
How long do sleepovers stay set up?
Sleepovers are typically installed the day of the event and picked up the following day.
Can sleepovers be customized?
Yes. Every sleepover is styled to match your theme, color palette, and overall event vision.
Do you offer sleepovers at venues?
Yes. Sleepovers can be installed at private homes or venues.
