But, it's also sparking debate online about the idea of prom send-offs -- are they excessive or exceptional?
Treva Harris went all out for her daughter's prom send-off.
The theme was Cinderella, and the event planner transformed a city lot on Lancaster Avenue into a castle fit for a princess, or maybe a Hollywood movie.
From the chandeliers to the furniture, it looked like Harris spared no expense. The castle alone was $27,000.
"Did you ever think it would get to this grand of a scale?" asked reporter Christie Ileto.
"I did not. I thought it was going to be a nice prom send-off. For me to be talking about the prom. I absolutely did not," said Harris.
Keep in mind, this is a city where over-the-top prom send-offs are truly a thing.
In 2018, a mom held a Black Panther-themed prom sendoff that cost $25,000.
A Philadelphia mom appeared on Tamron Hall last year for the extravaganza she threw for her daughter.
"I've seen a lot of, 'What about college education?' They'll still get everything that they need. I just feel like it's that family's prerogative to do what they want to do at that particular time, and prom send-off -- for whatever reason and I don't know how it became this -- but it's a thing now," said Harris.
