Notes on a Party is an online magazine that celebrates the art of entertaining by covering Events from the Inside Out™. Written for a sophisticated audience, the site features “notes” on the most talented event vendors, cool resources from the Web, original gift ideas and tips on party planning.

A seasoned event planner, Founder and Editor-in-Chief Celia Chen has produced parties for some of the world’s most recognized personalities and brands including P. Diddy, Prada, Chrysler, Conde Nast Publications, MINI Cooper, Miss Sixty, W Hotels, FIJI Water, Beauty.com among others.

Fondly known as The Lazy Hostess, Celia subscribes to the philosophy that entertaining can be simple yet stylish with some savvy planning and a little help from “her friends.”  Through her site Notesonaparty.com, Celia gives her readers a sneak peak into her coveted rolodex of the best venues, caterers, florists, designers, DJ’s and more.

A nationally recognized entertaining expert, Celia is also a contributing writer for the Style section of The Huffington Post and featured guest on the show Hollywood Green.

Notes on a Party has quickly become the go-to resource for both professional party planners and social hostesses looking for inspiration and ideas.  The company has grown to include an exclusive event series called “A Night of Eco-Chic Entertaining,” and a local venue concierge service for those looking for the perfect event space.
