Catherine Williams, Mother
Sweet 16 Birthday Bash
“It was such a pleasure working with Chantal and her team for my daughters 16th birthday. I mean
what an amazing experience! From the initial consultation, to the ideas and visions they created
just based off a color pallet and flower that our daughter loves. It was magical. Chantal was very
patient, and willing to add or switch any last-minute ideas we had. I truly appreciated working with
an event planner who listens yet adds a flair that I don’t think I could ever imagine or dream up.
We have two more events next year ready to ask of her and her team to make a beautiful experience!

Chantal, thank you for your outstanding service to the Association of Minorities in Public School
Systems. As we have come to expect, you ensured a first-class experience from start to finish - the
full design space, CSD catered meals, flower arrangements, and all your attention to detail; it’s
truly on another level. People have failed to realize that event planning is so much more than
decorations. The event logistics were handled with a great level of care and professionalism. You
thought of every area in design and ensured that what was needed in the space was there. I
personally appreciate your love and attention to the needs of children and wanting to ensure that
they had a place in the design to enjoy and be actively involved. Thank you for your warm demeanor,
and bubbly personality. It was mixed with a hard-working, we are about business, approach and that
is the epitome of who I’d want for myself and recommend to others to handle business in the future.

I was quite overwhelmed at first when thinking about planning a huge party at our home, so I reached
out to a few party planners. I was so happy I picked Chantal Sophia Designs. She helped my husband
and I plan a party in our backyard to celebrate our recent wedding. Chantal and this team were
honestly the best! Over the top creativity, and her ability to see spaces and visualize beautiful
things that can come to life was inspiring to watch and be a part of. It was her ideas that really
made the party spectacular. She thought of everything, so the planning process wasn’t tedious on my
end. She had great relationships with all her vendors, which showed me the type of business person
she prides herself to be; cultivating lasting relationships. We met through a mutual friend’s
recommendation, but through the three-month process of working with her I saw how genuine and
beautiful her spirit is. She is as a friend you dream of having outside of the business. The party
could not have looked more beautiful or gone more smoothly. I highly recommend using Chantal Sophia
Designs for any event you have!

DCPS Stanton Elementary School
The Stanton school community benefits from your approach to, and work with, our needs from year to
year. This was year 6 of you executing an amazing PROM for our students. A prom experience that
feels more like a wedding because anything you touch brings on extravagant things. Each year there
is a new theme and you out-do the year prior. Your personal commitment to bringing so much joy to
this underserved community through our annual PROM, speaks volumes of your character and so much
hope in our community. The entire community knows about, looks forward to, and talks about our prom,
all thanks to you. The amount of time you and your staff put into the implementation, from planning,
to set-up, to clean-up is always exceptional. Your work and tending to every little detail has
greatly contributed to the success of anything you touch. Everything turns to gold.
Latoya Jenkins, Bride
My bridesmaids surprised me with a bridal shower, and as any bride you have a lot on your plate and
are being pulled in several directions. I remember walking into the room and feeling an overwhelming
sense of love and gratitude. One for my tribe of sisters, but secondly that they entrusted such a
gem named Chantal to bring this ordinary room to LIFE. Her ability to take a space and really do
anything she wants with it, is remarkable. Specifically, her balloon backdrops and arch that she
created was the focal point of the whole party. People could not get enough of it! It was gorgeous.
She is magical. Trust her with your vision, she really won’t disappoint.
Miata, GCC Minister of Music
From the very first phone call, Chantal made my life easier. Planning any event can be stressful,
but she made the process fun again. She is so organized in everything she does. I have NO idea how
anything would have even gotten done if it wasn't for her. She always has a smile on her face, and I
feel like any time that something went wrong her immediate response was, "No worries, we will fix
it" She really took the reigns and let me be as involved as much as I wanted, or didn't want to be.
