Today we’d like to introduce you to Kayelyn Harris.
Hi Kayelyn, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I grew up in a home where we celebrated every holiday and milestone, no matter how big or small. Coming from humble beginnings, I learned early on how to create beautiful, meaningful parties on little to no budget — paying attention to the smallest details and finding creative ways to make every moment feel special.
Over time, what started as a hobby blossomed into a true passion. When I eventually stepped away from corporate life, I knew I wanted to build something that combined creativity, connection, and celebration. That’s how Pink Lemonade Parties was born — a business built to empower anyone who dreams of hosting a “Pinterest-worthy” event. Whether it’s through curated DIY kits or full-service event styling, my goal is to make beautiful celebrations accessible, stress-free, and joyful for everyone.
The name Pink Lemonade Parties comes from the idea of turning life’s lemons into something sweet — taking the stress of planning and transforming it into excitement and ease. My tagline, “celebrate life with zest,” is a reminder that every occasion deserves to be celebrated, and every celebration deserves a little extra sparkle.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Starting any new business comes with its fair share of bumps in the road, and Pink Lemonade Parties has been no different. From figuring out logistics and packaging to balancing creativity with business strategy, it’s been a journey of constant learning and growth. But every challenge has been worth it. I’m so thankful for every kit that’s gone out, every event we’ve styled, and all the encouragement from customers and supporters who believe in this little dream of mine — they’re truly what keeps me going.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Pink Lemonade Parties supports celebrations of all kinds — from home milestones to community gatherings and corporate events. What sets us apart is our ability to customize every detail to fit our clients’ vision, no matter how unique or imaginative.
We’re proud that so much of our growth comes from referrals and repeat customers who trust us to deliver joyful, seamless experiences. For those who love to DIY, we offer curated party kits with styling guides, decor, and activity recommendations to make planning effortless. For those who prefer to relax and enjoy, we provide full-service event styling — from balloon art and table design to setup and teardown.
We ship our kits nationwide and offer in-person event services across Salt Lake County and nearby areas. At the heart of everything we do is a simple mission: helping people celebrate life with zest and create moments that feel as special as they look.
Any advice for finding a mentor or networking in general?
I once read a quote that said, “If your heart calls you to something, there’s room for you to do it.” That has always stuck with me. I’ve found that same energy in so many talented, generous people who share their knowledge freely and cheer each other on rather than seeing others as competition.
From online communities and social media groups to local networks supporting women entrepreneurs, there’s no shortage of mentors ready to help you succeed — you just have to show up and connect. I’m deeply grateful for the people who’ve shared their wisdom and encouragement with me along the way; they’ve made this journey even more meaningful.
