Reviews
“Rebecca Gardner is the South’s doyenne of entertaining.” — Garden & Gun
“Gardner is a woman with a devilish sense of humor. And whether you’re throwing an intimate dinner or a gala with a head count in the hundreds, Gardner’s got ideas.” — Garden & Gun
“Gardner’s ideas are often other-worldly—giant red tassels hanging from ceilings and cascading paper butterflies on tables topped with hundreds of candles. Truth be told, she’s the real-life fairy godmother of the design and event world, a woman who makes the seemingly impossible, totally possible.” — Over the Moon
"Rebecca knows how to have a blast and how to throw one. She has a special gene that enables her to do this better than anyone else. Part of that may come from being born a Texas girl. She threw me a party for my seventieth birthday and I am still hung over. I am now 79. Her gift is to show others how to get down and have a good old time. No one does it better." — Candice Bergen
"Rebecca knows all the rules, and more importantly how to break them." — Derek Blasberg
"Hats off to Rebecca Gardner who’s a screaming blast if there ever was one. Her debut book is a delicious journey through some of the best parties thrown over the past decade. Rebecca’s southern roots are on full display as she entertains with elegance, wit, and boundless beauty. She simply knows how to have a damn good time and is willing help others do the same. Most importantly, she recognizes that memories are our most cherished possessions — and with the help and inspiration of A Screaming Blast, you’re sure to make plenty!" — Ken Fulk
"With an eye for detail, the elegance of a hostess from a bygone era, and always up for some mischievous fun, Rebecca knows how to do it!" — Sofia Coppola
