About the Author

Rena Sindi has thrown some of the most lavish and unforgettable costume parties of the past decade - including Sloan-Kettering's Valentine's Day Ball, New York City Ballet's Dance with the Dancers Gala, and events for the Boys' Club of New York, Saks Fifth Avenue, The Public Theater and Bruno Magli. As Voyeur, Chronicler, and Party-Goer herself, Jessica Craig-Martin, who shoots for The New York Times and Harper's Bazaar, among other publications, chronicles the new social scene and is, herself, part of the society she tracks, she has an eye for young scene-setters and what makes them tick.

4.0 out of 5 stars GREAT IDEAS... GIVEN THE RIGHT CROWD, July 9 2003
By 
"sfreas" (Beverly Hills, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Be My Guest: Theme Party Savoir-Faire (Hardcover)
I am an event planner from Los Angeles and work for the Mandarin Oriental hotel which hosts numerous high fashion and celebrity events. I found this book to hold a number of innovative and surprisingly fun-inducing ideas ... however, i found that the ideas Rena presents are more applicable to the high society party world, where indulging in such extravagant parties is the norm. Some of the events in the book would ultimatley be hard to pull off with certain crowds b/c of the lack of enthusiasm for such parties. Thus, i receommend this book for anyone who is serious about planning events where the crowd is engaged... otherwise these parties would fail. Ultimatley, it depends on your crowd. For myself, this book has been a creative guide which has spawned a number of my own ideas and additions to rena's ideas. I love the book: pictures and presentation are pleasing to the eye... The book serves great also, as simply a coffee table book, stylish and interesting.

5.0 out of 5 stars rena you rock, Feb 22 2003

This review is from: Be My Guest: Theme Party Savoir-Faire (Hardcover)
Rena's book is the perfect combo of utility and style. I have already bought a dozen book as gifts for friends and am planning on hosting a few bashs combining all Rena's ideas. Although I am an avid book lover and loyal amazon customer, I usually do not write reviews for books, but i was stunned with the creativity of this book. I hope i can one day meet this mastermind of creativity but until that day... RENA KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
