Denise did such a wonderful job with the video she produced for our family! It was a beautifully done, entertaining celebration of my dad's life ... we all loved it - M Dean
Denise Metzger
In 2008, Denise Metzger had a surprising vision for her daughter’s Celebration of Life. Having learned the power of perspective through Jonnae’s leukemia journey, Denise wanted to encourage family and friends to fuel gratitude, not grief, when the teen passed.
Jonnae had recently dreamt she was a star, so Denise hosted a red carpet event, premiering her life tribute video on the big screen of a local theater. It was an incredibly uplifting Celebration of Life!
Several years later, Denise began thinking about what she wanted family to experience after her passing. She met with the funeral company that advertised their personal celebrations, but they dropped their planner on her table and said “You’re like an Irish Wake on steroids. We can’t help you.” She created Surprise Invite to:
help clients preplan their personalized Celebration of Life
assist them in keeping their plan current
spare family the creation of the event, so they’ll fully experience the Celebration; not be totally exhausted by planning/hosting it!
