Melinda Durham / CEO

Just a girl who loves all things party. Growing up in a big family, every weekend there was some type of party. Whether there was a Birthday Party, Anniversary, Baby Shower, or just a simple dinner party – my mom and I always found pure joy in discovering new ways to elevate the space with decorations.

Developing party ideas and sourcing the best decorations came so naturally to me. I knew there should be a home for me to expand my offerings and find new outlets for my creativity and thus Hudson Event Design was born. Living in New York City with my husband (but boyfriend at the time) we lived right by the Hudson River. We would see the name Hudson all the time. We said then, if we ever created a business it would be named after our first home, near the Hudson.

Party on Butler is more than a company, it’s a life experience. Our goal and desire is to help people celebrate every occasion, big or small, and all over the world. And we won’t stop until that happens!

Fast forward to today, thanks to the unending support of our AMAZING clients, we have opened a storefront in Lawrenceville and decided to call it Party on Butler.
