By Ruth Styles He's created everything from ice castles to oriental palaces and numbers Simon Cowell and Elton John among his clients - and now well-heeled parents are asking celebrity event planner Steven Duggan to create equally lavish parties for children too young to have a clue what's going on. Last month, Duggan created an Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan-themed event for a pair of twins celebrating their first birthday - and charged the parents £70,000 for the privilege. The party took place in a marquee erected in the family's garden in London. While it might sound extravagant, Duggan says it's by no means an unusual event ('we do about one a month') and revealed that non-celebrities tend to splash out far more on private parties than their A-list counterparts.
