About Us
Our
Story
Welcome to Ilyssa’s Originals! I’m Ilyssa Starr, and I’ve been part of the events and hospitality world since I was 10 years old. My journey began in the 1980s when my parents founded Party Creations in the Philadelphia area. Growing up, I spent countless weekends onsite decorating and setting up events, eventually becoming a key part of the family business.
​
For over 30 years, I’ve had the joy of helping clients bring their dream events to life — from weddings and bar/bat mitzvahs to celebrations of all kinds. My expertise includes floral design, centerpiece creation, event planning, and seamless day-of coordination. I’m there with you every step of the way, from the earliest ideas to the final placement of each flower and detail.
​
I started Ilyssa’s Originals to continue the legacy that began over 40 years ago with my family. Whether you’re planning a prom, special celebration, or an elegant wedding, no event is too big or too small. I can’t wait to work with you and help create the event you’ve always envisioned.
