Dina's courses teach the lost art of entertaining out of the home to today's modern, savvy homemaker showing how to apply professional formulas of event management. From birthdays to baby showers, holidays and weddings, Dina gives her insight and professional advice for planning the perfect event just in time for the holidays.

Dina redefines the term "Party School" as she shares her passion for throwing sophisticated, meaningful events and teaches the steps of designing, planning, and hosting any of life's most memorable celebrations out of the comfort of your own home. "Dina Manzo is the picture of today's modern, savvy homemaker.  She has a great sense of style and a no-fuss, make-it-happen attitude that many of us appreciate," says Cho Phillips, CEO and Founder of Lovegevity. "Dina's ability to transform a home into a special celebration has very little to do with big budgets and more to do with the meaning behind every event."

Students have access to each course lesson using the online student center, digital textbook, resource library materials, and video instruction from Dina. "I started my career by taking online courses while I was on bed rest and it really gave me the best of both worlds because I was able to stay home and learn what I needed to jump right in," Dina said. "More than anything I hope to inspire others to do something they thought they could never do before this course, because life is about those special moments and special celebrations."

Dina Manzo's "It's My Party & I'll Plan If I Want To" course series includes: Dinner Party, Holiday Party, Engagement Party, Bridal Shower, Baby Shower, Weddings, Graduation, Retirement, Quinceanera, Birthday Party, Family Reunions, and Anniversary.

Dina's courses are available online through Lovegevity's Wedding Planning Institute and will soon be available in colleges across the country and as a downloadable app in the Apple iTunes Store.
