MEET THE CREATOR

Lisa Cohen a.k.a "The Story Lady" created Play & Parties after successfully running her first company Creative Parties For Kids for over 30 years. With her background in dance, BA in theater and Masters in Educational Administration she turned Creative Parties For Kids from a business run in her garage into an award winning locally recognized party powerhouse! Ready for a new challenge she started Play & Parties with the intent of creating a premier party venue where customers can have the perfect party without having to lift a finger. And create it she did! Now Play & Parties hosts multiple events as well as classes, playtimes, and more! Cohen has managed to accomplish all this while also being a children's author and tv host.​

THE PARTY VENUE

Our gorgeous venue is always dressed for a party! Booking a party at Play & Parties comes with themed decorations, a character of your choice, games, a personalized cake, cupcakes, boxed lunches and more! There is a stage for royal coronations, a photo wall, and even balloon clouds! Children and adults alike will revel in the whimsical and cheerful atmosphere the venue provides. When Play & Parties is not hosting a private event come and play in the joyful space with our weekly character appearances or take a painting class with our painting instructor.​

"We had such a wonderful 1st birthday for my little one! This place is a little hidden GEM and deserves way more than 5 stars! The owner, Lisa, is super friendly and genuinely desires to make your party the best that it can be. The price was reasonable, and my two boys and all their friends had a blast!"
