Great preparation and interview of my mom for her celebration. Resulting in a nice summary to share with our family and friends.

It was such an honor to sit with Lucille, learn her life's story and then tell it to her family and friends at her 95th birthday celebration. She's an amazing lady.

November 1, 2023Amazing
The group wasn't sure about a professional storyteller -- this isn't the librarian telling you a story, this is a performer who draws you in... Rivka was great and we can't wait to have her again!

Working with Kelly Martinez from Regeneron Pharmaceuticals was pure joy. The event was well organized and the audience was great. The Mohonk Mountain House in New Paltz, NY is a fantastic space. It's wonderful as an entertainer to leave with extra energy. I hope we get to work together again.

July 19, 2021Best Bridal Shower Ever!
Hired Simply Extraordinary Tales for my daughter's bridal shower to give the shower a bit of fun. It was the hit of the day, even the restaurant staff commented that this was the best shower they had ever hosted. Would highly recommend to book for your event, Renee
