Recent Press coverage reflects much of what we are proud about our reputation. Here is a small sampling:
LOS ANGELES TIMES
"...Besides the movie studios, Micucci's clientele includes [many of Hollywood's most sought after celebrities] She also does parties for the Oscars, Emmys, Grammys and MTV Video Music Awards. It took eight months to plan the Emmy's 50th Anniversary party last year - a little sit-down dinner for 2,500 at the Shrine Auditorium.
"Part of the reason Micucci enjoys Hollywood's repeat business is because she does not repeat her clients' business. Not that the tabloids don't try to get her to talk..."

PEOPLE Magazine:
DREAM WEAVER
"A medieval garden party for 1,000? A 19th-century Southern plantation ball? Name your fantasy and, for a price, Hollywood party planner Mary Micucci will move heaven and earth to make it come true..."

"I'm constantly being challenged to create something new," she says. "Every project is a new menu, a new look, a new taste and a new feel."
... Micucci also caters equally creative private parties. Her coordination of a James Bond-like evening for one client included stealthily transporting guests aboard helicopters while cat-suited, gun-toting women flipped across the tarmac...The scene was more down-home when she orchestrated a [DNC] fundraising dinner for President Clinton: K.D. Lang sang, Robin Williams performed, and the family-style southern dinner was served atop hand-sewn country linens...
SPECIAL EVENTS MAGAZINE
"A vintage theater was transformed into a hip, retro lounge for the premiere of 'Face/Off.'
...When the event is held in a historic building with a beautiful interior, the event becomes less about the look of the film and more about the event's objective - to entertain guests in a stimulating, well-designed environment...
...To add an element of surprise to the decor, the event team came up with the concept of an aquarium shaped like a martini glass..."
