The soft play/bouncy castle package from The Good Party costs well over $1000 just to hire,
$395+GST to hire the white concrete box studio (if they only had it for the 4.5 half day rate)
$380 for the Bubble Show
The balloonmania company doesn’t have a website, but two other balloon companies in Auckland show that just one of those big balloon installations they had over the big tombstone signs is around $1000 installed.
Millie Creative, for just the rented signage and cake Plinth seems to be at least $600, and she was also obviously engaged as a party planning service too, not just rental.
Sustainable Food Co has all of their prices listed per food item on their website. So while Simone claims in the Q&A answer box that the venue “comfortably fit 100 people” I’m going to do rough pricing of the food we saw based on 70 people because from the videos of the party we saw there were not 100 people in that space.
I could only visually identify 6 of the food items on the table as definitely being from this company, so just based on those 6 items at their price per person the price would have been $1535 (incl $30 delivery fee). That didn’t include the bowls of olives and grapes and carrots and the bowl of fried ball things with the red dipping sauce in the middle, couldn’t figure what that was. Also didn’t include any of the dessert food as that looked to all be from Nana Wenz.
K Cakes seem to charge around $200 for celebration cakes with a unique shape like the tombstone design Simone went for, it was basically two cakes, but I’ll be generous and say it was $250 for the cake.
Just that is $5225, and I haven’t included the party planning fee, the drinks/alcohol, the hire of the other furniture like the chairs around the edge of the room or the big shelving unit that had all the trucks on it/the big light up number 1 sign, not to mention the woman she got to come do her hair for her son’s first birthday party.
It is unbelievable to me that Simone thinks she can get away with lying about paying full price with every single one of the vendors she is promoting full noise on her business platform the next day. She does not give two shits about what she’s legally required to disclose when it comes to business deals involving discounted goods and services in exchange for promotion on her Instagram page to her followers.
I don’t really care about the beige look or what she was wearing etc…it’s more the sneakiness and lack of ethics around her business dealings that speaks to who she is as a person.
And Simone, if you really did pay full price for these services, my apologies. Just supply the ASA with all of the receipts from the companies listed above, showing you paid regular market rate for each of their services, and they can back you up in the public notification of the complaint resolution.
Keep an eye on this, because once she reads your post on here, she’ll go back, find your message, and block you. And that once again will prove that she reads Tattle constantly.
wow.
& it’s obvious what days they are cause it’s when she’s off galavanting getting massages & beauty treatments etc
