Schmooze with Suze
Hi, I’m Suze. Here with your dose of culture, values and global citizenship- and where we tackle those topics others may consider off-limits.
A little about me, I’m a busy GenX mom who, quite frankly, wanted to grow up like the Brady Bunch… But ended up being raised in the shadow of Schindler’s List. So this means I’ve spent a lifetime navigating these mixed messages we get hit with daily. You know those conversations- where we wonder if it’s safe to speak our minds? Can we share our experiences? Voice our fears and concerns, or should we just keep our mouths shut?
Well, too bad. I need to know! But I’m no expert. So, I’m going to schmooze the experts and get their thoughts. Why? So when we engage with our kids, colleagues, or the countless committees we interact with, we can do it with competence, kindness, confidence, and maybe a bit of humor.
If this sounds like your cup of coffee- welcome to Schmooze with Suze!

Have You Been Wondering, Where Are The Party People At? My Guest: Seri Kertzner, Founder of The Social Society & OG Party Girl
I'm not much of a party person. The reason I tell you this is because I will be turning 50 in two years and I'm starting to emotionally plan... to mentally prepare... to pull off the party I've always wanted, "Schmoozapalooza!"
I have been screen-shotting ideas for months.
The thing is I've never gotten to have MY party- or a memorable celebration- for ME. There have been get togethers, dinners, cocktails and soirees, but I have yet to plan MY party.
So now that I'm ready I'm asking, where are the party people at?!
And that's what we're going to tackle today.
Seri Kertzner, a celebrated event planner who turns ordinary gatherings into magical experiences, joins me to talk all things party spirit. We delve into the significance of making the honoree feel special and share priceless insights on meticulous planning so that hosts can actually enjoy their own parties.
From hilarious mishaps like burnt appetizers to the power of investing in quality, reusable tableware, our conversation is both entertaining and practical. Whether you’re planning a cozy get-together or a lavish celebration, this episode is packed with tips to help you elevate your party game.

About Seri:
My name is Seri Kertzner. My love for entertaining grew from the laughter and warmth of Friday night family dinners. After a successful career in corporate fashion, I traded the runway for the party scene, launching Little Miss Party Planner and delivering custom “parties in a box” to doorsteps nationwide. After rebranding as REV New York— which I continue to run — I produce events and custom-designs for brands like Hallmark Media, L'Oréal Paris, Neutrogena and Essie. The Social Society is my first brick-and-mortar boutique. Filled with one-of-a-kind partyware that’ll be the talk of your next group chat, we feature thoughtfully curated party supplies to elevate your celebrations.
Join us for a journey packed with inspiration, expertise, and a whole lot of fun in mastering the art of unforgettable celebrations!
