Setting the Bar Since 1936

An event your friends and family will never forget! Schaefer’s is the one-stop party-planning headquarters. After all, we’ve set the bar for 89 years.

Whether it’s an intimate Sunday brunch, a cocktail party for 50 or a wedding for 500, Schaefer’s team makes it easy and affordable.

We’re experts at estimating needs based on your guest list. Every party is unique and deserves the custom touch. We sent too much? Schaefer’s picks it up and credits undamaged/unopened returns. That’s piece of mind on that big day.

Schaefer’s even loans you free glassware!

Let our knowledgeable and experienced staff do the hard work, the outcome will exceed expectations, but not your budget.
