COURSE INSTRUCTOR BIO – JEFF LYDA

Jeff Lyda started Party On! in 1998, along with his sister, Debbie Simon in a small 2,500 square foot store. Today, they now operate in their 24,000 sq. ft “dream” space.

They love the challenge of creating and turning the customer’s vision into a full- blown reality.
