We had the good fortune of connecting with Virginia Frischkorn and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Virginia, maybe we can start at the very start – the idea – how did you come up with the idea for your business?
I love creating experiences for others. I spent over a decade producing over-the-top social gatherings and events at Bluebird Productions. It became very clear to me that a successful event is not just about how beautiful a table setting or a ceremony backdrop is. The event being amazing isn’t about caviar vs burgers or how famous the band is. A successful and memorable event is one where the host feels calm and confident and has a fabulous time. To get there, everything must be contemplated, all t’s crossed, and all i’s must be dotted.

After years of producing events for the elite, I knew that I could impact more lives by creating moments that bring community and connection to everyone by pivoting how I share my skills and how they’re expressed. I believe everyone deserves that feeling and deserves to have the skills to host friends for a brunch, a picnic, a supper club, a movie night, a birthday gathering… And do so with confidence! Connection and community are core to our basic needs and, unfortunately, the art of gathering is becoming a lost art. It’s become a stressful experience. We now have the ability to rewrite this script.

Partytrick is now here to make an impact and empower you!

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Partytrick is a completely digital, one-stop-shop for throwing a party like the pros. Partytrick embodies the spirit that DIY was built upon and is backed by our team of professional event planners. We provide a service that is like having a party planner tucked in your back pocket (at a fraction of the price!). We’re unlike anything else out there and we’re on a mission to change how people host and gather. Whether it be a brunch, a bbq, a birthday party, or a bachelorette weekend, Partytrick is here to re-write the script on hosting. Partytrick is for everyone.

I’ve spent the last 10+ years planning events professionally for some of the toughest clients (love you!) out there. Partytrick embodies the evolution of my professional career and my personal mission to make an impact through creating experiences for connection and community. The need for community and connection is a core human need. As a society, we’re more disconnected now than ever.

Over a year ago, Partytrick formalized and we started building a team to build this app. The challenges, obstacles, and moments for growth and learning we’ve faced while developing Partytrick has led to many a restless night. Ultimately, the passion for the mission drove our team to persevere to get Partytrick in your hands. If I’ve learned anything, it’s that curiosity, patience, compassion, and empathy can solve almost any problem.
