About

Pink Poodle Parties grew out of a simple idea: there was a real need in Kansas City for parties that feel a little more grown-up, a little more thoughtful, and still genuinely fun-especially for tweens, teens, and adults.

We are Vicki and Natasha Goellner, a mother-daughter team who have always loved entertaining and making spaces feel special. Natasha has an artist's eye and has always cared deeply about the overall look of things. When we owned our French pastry shops, Natasha's Mulberry & Mott, in Kansas City, people often commented on how pretty they were-not just the pastries, but the displays, the colors, and the details. That same instinct now shapes every Pink Poodle Party.

Natasha studied art at the Kansas City Art Institute and trained as a pastry chef at the French Culinary Institute in New York City. She is currently the executive pastry chef at her brother's restaurants, Anjin and The Antler Room, and also runs her stationery studio, Bespoke Crest Co., which means we can design invitations, menus, and paper goods in-house. Her pastry background influences how she thinks about balance, color, and presentation-but the focus is always on the party as a whole.

Vicki has been hosting small gatherings for years and has worked on décor teams for major charitable galas. She's known for her warmth, organization, and knack for making people feel comfortable the moment they walk in.

Together, we create parties that feel personal, welcoming, and well thought out-never stiff or overdone. Whether it's a tween birthday, a teen celebration, or an adult gathering, our goal is always the same: to help you host a beautiful party that feels easy and enjoyable.
