By Rebecca Odenkirk

With one customer, David Tutera opened his first event planning business at the tender age of nineteen. He was mentored by his grandfather who was a successful florist.

As his reputation grew, he began appearing on television. You might have seen him on The View, The Today Show and Oprah, or read his entertaining tips in Town and Country, Cosmopolitan, and Redbook.

David is also the author of "Big Birthdays", "America Entertains", "The Party Planner", and "A Passion for Parties". His books are a great resource for party planning.

David Tutera has planned events for Elton John, Oprah, and others. He has planned post Grammy parties and charity events for Prevent Cancer Foundation and The Nature Conservancy.

Modern Bride selected David as one of the Top Twenty-five Trendsetters of the Year. Life and Style magazine also honored David for being the Best Celebrity Wedding Planner of the Year.

David is also a professional speaker for Conde Nast. He has lectured on weddings, lifestyles, design, and more.

Television has been good to David. He was the host of "The Party Planner" on the DIY channel and now hosts "My Fair Wedding" on We T.V. David's reputation for innovation and imagination bring a sense of class and elegance to all he does. With inspiration and sensitivity he creates the ultimate wedding of the bride's dreams.

Now, David has opened his own full service floral and gift boutique. "Floral Design- by D.T. STEM" is located in The Plaza Retail Collection on %th Avenue and on Spice Road at Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City.
