Too Cool for School

The Adventure School Event Planners

If party throwing were a school subject, you’d be a solid C student.

Your report card: “Pupil has promise (witty Evites) but lacks concentration (night-before planning) and follow-through (starving guests).”

Pad your GPA by calling The Adventure School, event planners extraordinaire.

Run by adorable pals Aviva Palmer and Cori Ready, the company’s motto “semper ad extremum” is Latin for “take it to the limit every time,” which translates to over-the-top, highly conceptual events.

As committed to sustainability as they are to debauchery, Adventure incorporates wildly imaginative, reusable decor. They’ve culled maps from estate sales (for a nautical bash), foraged for moss (to create a woodsy wonderland), and hired high school cheerleaders (as decoration, what else?).

Be forewarned: They’ll have guests talking about your hosting skills long after the party’s over.

So this will go down on your permanent record.
