Valley Party Squad!

May 30, 2023

“We bring the magic, so you can enjoy the moment!” This is the mission of Fort Frontier AZ, a women- owned small business here in the Valley that focuses on party planning for all ages and events. They specialize in fort parties for birthdays, sleepovers, slumber-unders, bachelorette parties, and more! The self-titled “Valley Party Squad” arrives at your door with smiling faces carrying their giant forts and plastic totes full of decor. This is when the magic truly begins! Before you know it, your entire indoor or outdoor space is transformed into a magical event space. “Our fort parties are like a childhood dream come true,” remarks Danielle Heckel, co-owner of Fort Frontier AZ. “Each kiddo gets their own fort, just like the ones we constructed out of sheets when we were kids, except way better!” Each partygoer has their own twin air mattress with a fort over it, along with a tray table, light, and sleep mask. They provide matching themed pillows for each bed and banners connecting all the forts. Lights and balloons can be strung across to make the scene that much more magical. They don’t miss a single detail and it looks like a picture out of a magazine! 

They even offer boho picnic setups that are the perfect complement to a fort slumber party. It gives the partygoers a place to eat, drink, and even do arts and crafts. The decorations are absolutely beautiful and tailored to the theme which adds to the overall aesthetic of the event. Meagan Lewis, co-owner of Fort Frontier AZ, explains, “The possibilities are endless for our forts and picnics. We can do anything from a two-year-old’s birthday to a bridal shower, or even a tea party or spa night.” Additionally, Fort Frontier AZ can provide an inflatable movie screen with projector to create an outdoor movie night under the stars! When the party is over, who is responsible for packing up all the forts and decorations? This is quite possibly the best part of it all… The Valley Party Squad returns after the party to take it all down for you! With precision and attention to detail, they tear everything down, load it all back in their truck(s) and send the materials off to be professionally laundered, cleaned, and sanitized. Have a bigger vision for your event? Do you need catered food, drinks, and desserts? Or even party rentals such as tables, chairs, and bounce houses? The Valley Party Squad will make it happen as part of their Premier Service. Fort Frontier AZ has a full-fledged party planning offering to coordinate all the vendors, which still includes setup and teardown, all without you having to lift a finger!
