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

Hi Diana, we’d love to hear what makes you happy.
What makes me truly happy is seeing the smiles on kids faces when they are having fun at one of my parties. I love creating memorable experiences for children and knowing that I have made a positive impact on their lives. Running my own business also gives me a great sense of satisfaction and fulfillment. Every child deserves to have a celebration filled with fun, laughter and special moments. My own childhood was challenging, so I am passionate about creating positive memories for children that they will cherish for years to come. Contributing to their happiness and well-being is incredibly rewarding.

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?
I pride myself on offering highly personalized parties tailored to each child’s unique interests and preferences. I believe every child deserves a special day that reflects their individuality.
One of the things that sets me apart is that I handle all the logistics, from setup and cleanup to providing all the necessary supplies. This makes it easy for parents to relax and enjoy the party.
I am always looking for new and exciting activities to incorporate into my parties. I love to be creative and find ways to make each event memorable and unique.
I am most proud of the positive feedback I have received from my clients. Seeing the kids happy and having fun and knowing they are in a safe space is the most rewarding feeling.
I am excited about the growth of my business and the opportunity to reach more families in the community.
I love building relationships with my clients and becoming a part of their special occasions.
My love for working with children and my entrepreneurial spirit led me to start this business. I saw a need for a service that offered personalized and convenient party planning.
It has not always been easy, there have been challenges along the way such as finding the right balance between work and family life but with perseverance and dedication I have been able to overcome these obstacles and build a successful business.
I am incredibly grateful for the support and encouragement I have received from my family, friends and clients. Their belief in me has been instrumental in my success.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Okay so as a mother of 3 this is what an awesome week would look like for us…
Universal Studios Theme Park and a stop at Voodoo Doughnut, Disneyland and California Adventure for sure! And we love to stay at the Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa to make the experience even better! A day at Malibu beach and a walk at the Santa Monica Pier would be perfect! Shopping at The Collection Riverpark in Oxnard City and bowling there at Bowlero and dinner at Kabuki Japanese Restaurant or The Cheesecake Factory. Also another best sushi place is Genmai Sushi Restaurant in Oxnard also. Breakfast in Cafe on 27 in Topanga has an excellent view and walking around in Ventura city downtown. Dinner and drinks in Stonehous in Thousand Oaks and dance night right next door. If you want something more fancy stop by at Mediterraneo Italian Cuisine Restaurant also there. Those are some of the places my family and I enjoy.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My husband has always been my biggest supporter. He has believed in me even when I doubted myself and has encouraged me to chase my dreams, no matter how challenging they seemed.
I am eternally grateful to my parents for their unwavering love, support and belief in me. They have always been there, guiding me, encouraging me and providing me with the resources and opportunities I needed to succeed. Their unconditional love and support have shaped who I am today and I am forever indebted to them for their constant presence in my life.
My friends have been my cheerleaders and my confidantes. They have shared laughter and tears with me, celebrated my successes and supported me through my challenges. Their friendship has been a constant source of joy and comfort in my life and I am incredibly grateful for their presence. They all believed in me and supported my dream of starting my own business. They generously opened their homes to me allowing me to host parties and gain exposure. Their support and encouragement were invaluable, I would not be where I am today without them.
