Meet the Wonder & Dash Duo
Hi, we're Tara and Katie the creative minds and mum energy behind Wonder & Dash.
We started Wonder & Dash because we believed children's parties could be so much more than a pass-the-parcel and a slice of cake.
We wanted to create something genuinely magical experiences that feel luxurious, look beautiful and give children the space to get creative, get messy and make memories that last.
Between us, we bring over a decade of professional event planning expertise and two thriving businesses built on the same obsession: the details.
Meet Tara
Tara is the founder of Chase & Co Studio, a creative hub celebrated for its luxury event styling and bespoke decorations. With years of experience designing and delivering high-end events, Tara brings an unmatched eye for aesthetic, an obsession with quality and a genuine love for making spaces feel extraordinary.
At Wonder & Dash, Tara channels all of that expertise into every workshop setup from the colour palette on the tables to creating bespoke finishing touches that make the whole thing feel like something out of a dream.
Meet Katie
Katie is the founder of Teepee Dreams, the much loved children's sleepover party company that has created magical memories for families across the region.
Katie knows better than anyone what children love, what parents need and how to bring the two together in the most beautiful, stress-free way possible.
Her warmth, creativity and deep understanding of what makes a children's experience truly special runs through everything Wonder & Dash does.
Why we created Wonder & Dash
As two mums ourselves, we know how much thought and love goes into planning a child's party. We also know how stressful it can be and how easy it is to settle for something that looks fine but doesn't feel special.
Wonder & Dash exists to change that. We combine our professional event planning backgrounds with a genuine passion for children's experiences to deliver workshops that are beautiful, immersive and completely taken care of from start to finish.
We don't cut corners. We don't do average. Every party we deliver is styled with premium materials, thoughtful details and the kind of care that parents notice and children feel.
We're based in Essex and proudly serve families and event planners across Brentwood, Hornchurch, Upminster, Chigwell, Epping, Ongar, Billericay, Chelmsford, London, Surrey and Kent. Travelling further? We're happy to discuss - if the fit is right, we'll go anywhere in the UK.
