The absolute WORST venue tour experience I have ever had. From the moment we arrived, the entire…read moreinteraction felt extremely uncomfortable and unwelcoming. The way we were spoken to, the tone that was used, and the overall treatment left a very bad impression. Honestly, it felt like we were being judged based on our appearance and, quite frankly, I couldn't help but feel that there was discrimination based on the color of our skin. To call this a "tour" is honestly a joke. The woman barely showed us anything. Instead, she basically told us to walk around and look for ourselves because she had an event coming up. We were rushed through the entire experience, and it was made very clear that our presence was an inconvenience. What made the experience even more insulting was the assumption that I couldn't afford to rent the venue. I was offered cheaper options that I DID NOT ask for, and those options didn't even accommodate the number of guests I clearly stated I would have. I never asked for the cheapest package, nor did I ask how I could save money. The assumption was unnecessary, disrespectful, and completely unprofessional. If you're going to offer a venue to the public, you should treat EVERY potential client with the same level of respect, regardless of what they look like or what you assume their budget is. I came prepared to consider spending money at this facility, and instead I left feeling judged, rushed, and disrespected. Needless to say, after this experience, I would NEVER consider hosting my event here. First impressions matter, and this one was absolutely terrible.

I recently had a baby shower for my sister at the Violet Cactus, and everything was so beautiful…read more The ambiance was amazing, and the amenities that come with the package definitely take all the extra stress away. Everyone was so professional and kind, and they didn't miss a single detail. Karen was there making sure everything was set up and running smoothly, and she was so professional and amazing. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone hosting a small or intimate event. The only downside to my experience was the balloon company I used from their preferred vendor list (Ravens Decor and More). I would say you definitely need to double check and even triple check to make sure Raven gets the balloon colors exactly right. Even though it was confirmed that she understood what I wanted, you can see the difference in the photos of what I requested and what I received. I told her I was hosting a classic Winnie the Pooh baby shower for my sister and wanted neutral colors (beige, sage, and blush) for a baby girl. After our phone call, she sent me an AI-generated mockup using those colors I asked for. I absolutely loved it, so I paid the $100 deposit and booked her services ($290 total). On the day of the shower, I was shocked and blindsided because the balloon colors looked nothing like the mockup or what I had requested. I understand an AI mockup won't be identical to the final product, but the difference was far greater than expected. I had also purchased balloons for the welcome sign in the same colors as the mockup, and the contrast between those and the balloon arch was obvious.Since guests were going to be arriving soon, I had no choice but to accept it and move on. My family and I believe strongly in respecting customer service and tipping, so I still gave her a 20% tip. My only regret was tipping that much instead of simply paying the remaining balance of $190 after she finished. I booked her based on the mockup she provided, but the final balloon colors were completely different. The colors were so different that they took away from the soft, neutral look I was trying to achieve for the shower. Overall, the baby shower was wonderful, and my sister had a great time. My only disappointment was that the balloon colors were so different from what I had specifically requested.

It was a great decision. Paul not only got the shots we thought we needed, he was also incredibly proactive and got the shots we would have missed without him.

He worked long hours and had to do some physically demanding things on the shoot but he never complained and always did a great job!

He knows what the industry standards are and surpasses them. And he does this at the most competitive prices around. I can't recommend Digital Mind Productions highly enough. In the over 6 years of working with him, he's never let me down.

I wish to share what an excellent experience we had shooting at CML Studios. Carlos helped us out…read moreand took care of all the details we needed. This stage has two stages. One large and one medium. Carlos can accommodate any size shoot. There are background sections available with all lights and grip you can order for your shoot. I brought in all my lighting and grip. The stages were clean and the audio was excellent. They did a lot of prep work to make sure the walls are sound proof. We needed a white background with a make-up room, green room and enough space to stage all of our equipment. CML has this and a lot more. The large stage has three large ready to go backgrounds with Cycs. One is a back background with black Cyc. The other is a white background with Cyc and the most impressive is the greenscreen background. The green screen background is fully back lit. Space lights evenly light the entire background. All you have to do is light your talent and ready to shoot. There is parking and the area is near Walmart, Lowes and has plenty of restaurants that are five minutes away. This is a great location. It is right off the Empire exit on the 5fwy. Easy access for all talent. This is an excellent stage with great management. I highly recommend CML studios.
