I had my daughters Quinceanera here in May. I wanted to leave my review on my experience. Katie the…read moreowner is super nice, considerate of everything up until your contract is over. I had reached out to Katie the very next day after my event to let her know how my experience went and certain things that were concerning . She was definitely not as nice or concerned about my complaints. Very unexpected. My daughter, fiancé and I went upstairs to use there restroom and help my daughter adjust her dress. We found three cases of beer, in the second room with the door closed. They were not there earlier when we went upstairs. Keep in mind there were three young staff working that night. Once we found the beer my fiancé confronted the main guy and he said they had to move the beer upstairs because they were moping downstairs in the kitchen. If you've seen this hall you know they could have moved the beer to the side hall way right out the kitchen and before the stairs. It didn't make sense why they would move it all the way upstairs. Also that it was not in the first room but second room with the door closed. The other issue I had here was I had bought a small cake for pictures and a sheet cake that was in the fridge. I had asked the staff if they were going to cut and pass out the cake and they confirmed they would. Come to find out at the end of the night cleaning up, the cake was still in the fridge. They only cut the small cake and placed the plates of cake on the counter. Who ever saw it grabbed cake and who ever didn't, didnt get any. More than half the party did not receive cake, not even my daughter. I had asked the guy "did everyone get cake" he confirmed yes, the sheet cake was extra. So I had an untouched sheet cake and most my guests didn't get any. I felt I just received excused from the staff as well as Katie for that night. Also keep in mind the person they had for photoboth comes off with attitude with her tone of voice. Last thing that went wrong was the staff giving my own professional DJ a hard time when he got to the hall to set up. We had fun but the staff isn't that great and unprofessional. This is my experience. Consider it, before booking.

Slight downsides are the exterior bathroom situation and the glare on the projection screen (this would be alleviated by moving the screen to the opposite side of the room).

I was referred to Desiree by a friend and while I could have found cheap flowers in downtown LA, I decided to work with Desiree because not only does she offer the best selection but she is extremely patient, creative, and takes your vision and makes it a reality. Desiree had great communication and was super responsive. She listened to what I wanted but also made great recommendations. The day before the wedding she texted me photos to show me the progress of her work. I was so happy with the final result and all of the flowers at the wedding. I loved my bouquet and all our wedding party loved theirs! I would recommend Desiree to anyone looking for a great flower designer who is creative, professional and reasonably priced.

From start to finish they were incredibly easy to communicate with- responsive, attentive, and truly listened to what I wanted. Lisa and her team brought my vision to life, and it was even better than I imagined. What really stood out was their willingness to work within our budget without compromising on quality or creativity. They not only designed and set up all the balloons, backdrops, installations but they also spent extra time helping me decorate and design the farmers market with the custom gifts I made and/or purchased for my guests. The entire process felt stress-free and enjoyable. Everything turned out beautifully and we received so many compliments. I am truly honored to be The Simple Luxe's first farmers market themed client and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and kind vendor who goes above and beyond. If you have been following them on social media like I was and have an upcoming event - reach out to them and get a quote! You will not be disappointed!

I would usually see the same entertainers in children's party and I realized that I've never seen a magician at any of them. Booking was easy via email and his prices/packages are listed on the website. I had about 15-20 kids at my party and he did such an AMAZING job entertaining both children and adults! I went with 45 min magic show, 20 min balloon twist, and 20 min bubble show. Even though it was raining that day, Dave was very accommodating and communicated with me the different options for a bubble show in case he can't do it outside. He still made it happen and the kids had so much fun popping gigantic bubbles in the rain. I also appreciated how Dave's magic show was age appropriate with the smaller kids but still catered to the adults with a few magic tricks. I can't recommend him enough to other parents who are looking for a party entertainer. Thank you Dave for a memorable party!

My youngest was so excited to visit this specialty store -- we arrived full of anticipation. We…read morepatiently waited while the only available employee finished helping another customer, which was completely understandable. When it was our turn, my son asked about the LEGO sets he had brought in and whether there was any trade-in value for them. However, before the employee could respond, another customer walked in and the two began chatting in Spanish. The conversation continued for a good two minutes, with no acknowledgment of my son or the fact that we had been waiting. For a child who was genuinely excited about this visit, being overlooked like that was really disheartening -- and honestly, it was frustrating for me as well. We left without getting any help. We truly wanted to support this local business, and I hope this feedback is taken constructively. As it stands, though, it's unlikely we'll return.

(I put in the request via email about people with a good amount of energy, since I noticed a different in two parties I had been to, but none of the requests that I had placed via email mattered. I asked for high energy and mentioned that my daughter loves music, and they had lower energy and had to ask them to turn up the music. I mentioned that we didn't need a cake since she was getting one later, and they brought a cake.) At some point during the birthday party, I had to actually ask one of the ladies there to turn up the music because we could hardly hear it. That was really disappointing since my daughter really loves music (which I had mentioned in my email to them earlier that week). They didn't do any singing or karaoke since we hardly even heard the music. Super disappointing. It's cute in the sense that the kiddos can dress up and get their makeup and hair done and they did a great job at that part. I also liked that they took photos and then airdropped them to your phone after. The way it's set up, the birthday kiddo rings a bell to ask for more food or whatnot for her friends. The whole set up honestly doesn't seem to foster the values I want in my kiddo, but for a one time thing, I suppose it can make the birthday kiddo special. I feel like they could do something more fun like ringing the bell each time someone said birthday or something to that effect. Given my experiences here as the host of a birthday, it's cute but wouldn't do a birthday or event here again just given the overall service. Also, you'll end up tipping the people helping out, and that will be extra (I think we paid almost an extra 100). From a parent perspective, it's a little awkward. You are told to put "drop offs encouraged" but a lot of PV moms end up hanging out or not knowing if they should stay or go. I've paid similar amounts to other types of birthdays and have definitely felt like the value was worth it. This place, not entirely sure, but understand it's an institution and place of tradition in the area. You have to bring your own food, but they don't serve cake. Make sure you bring socks.
