Support Denise's Dream: Business launch and Host first Event

Hello, my name is Denise Jones-Gibbs. I am known to many as the StrawBerry Fairy. I am

now the proud owner and operator of FairyLand Adornments, an events decoration and

more company. We do everything, event planning, event design, event execution and event

break down and clean-up, we also offer gift baskets & gifts. We make it so the host can

remain present at their event the entire time and not worry about any aspects of their

event.

I have two goals for my company. The first is to host my company’s first event, which will

also serve as my company’s launch and introduction to the world, showing prospective

customers, firsthand, the services I will be offering. This will also build my network. My

second goal is to acquire a commercial building, with a kitchen and a parking lot. The

building will be used to host my own events, rent out to others to host their events, have

onsite bakery services for my baked sweets and a parking lot.

I have been baking up sweet treats since 2008, under my business name The StrawBerry

Fairy, on Instagram StrawBerry Fairy35. In 2020 (yes, the dreaded times) Fairyland

Adornments was born and survived. Recently, I took the steps to make FairyLand

Adornments official (LLC). All the while I have been running my business from home, but it

is so much it has taken over! It is time for me to invest in a property with a kitchen and a

parking lot. I will use this property to host my own events, rent out to others to host their

events and bake and serve my sweet, delicious treats on-site. I have burned out several

residential stove ovens, baking at the rate I bake. I also plan to offer baking classes for

adults and kids, baking camps for kids and event decoration classes (classes would be

held in the main ballroom).

Back to my first goal, the event. The event is an Adult Sneaker Ball Prom. It is a Prom

experience for adults Who says the kids get to have all the fun! It will be a star-studded

evening, who are the stars you ask…. You, you are the stars. Adults get to dress up in the

best formal attire, with the bonus of wearing your best sneakers instead of dress shoes.

Ensuring guests will be comfy and cozy all night, no sore toes at this event! There are two

rooms, the Main ballroom and Presidential lounge (VIP). Guests will enjoy champagne wall

(upon entry), happy hour, appetizers, sweet table and photos. That will be followed by

dinner service, bar service, more photos, King & Queen crowning

and Event Swag Bag. The VIP section will have happy hour from 8pm to 9pm, Cigar bar from

7pm to 9pm, 1-hour open bar from 10pm to 11pm and live band.

I am asking for donations to help me raise $7000.00 in funds. The fund will be used to

secure an event venue, pay for entertainment, food, drinks, prizes, swag bags, party

decorations, party supplies, party equipment rentals and pay staff. Any additional fundsraised will go to the procurement of my own property, where I will host and rent out for

events.
