Best day of my life!!!…read more It was such a pleasure to work with Keith Watson Events to plan my wedding! They helped me plan my dream wedding and made all my requests come true. I couldn't have asked for better planners. Maile was extremely helpful with all my questions and concerns, and had such great insight into the process that made this seemingly stressful process, much less stressful. Maile and Savannah were so helpful and organized on my wedding day and really helped me just enjoy the day and not stress at all. They knew everything about the wedding, and all of our vendors, and were so great at corresponding between everyone elegantly and efficiently. I would definitely work with them again in the future for parties and our vow renewal!!

Their communication throughout the process was great and they went out of their way to find a way to make things special. The day of the wedding was one to remember and we could thoroughly enjoy it without stressing out about the details. They really thought of so many things that we would never have thought of which actually saved us money. I had always heard that Keith Watson was THE BEST and I couldn't agree more!

They are overpriced and force you to hire a bartender to serve drinks (beer and wine) you personally provide. They lie to their customers and tell them that "in the state of florida you need to have a licensed bartender to serve drinks." That is a LIE, in the state of Florida you do not need a license or permit to serve beer a wine... actually a bartender doesn't even need to have a license to serve liquor in Florida. They are lying to their customers. We were hosting a memorial.. not a wedding.. this wasn't a party and our experience with Celebrations made everything more stressful than it already was..... AND they serve soggy crostini.... They made us buy food too! Many of the people who helped with the memorial have worked for catering companies... The crostini was dated for the day before.. Our "bartender" said they were made in the morning... Another lie. What a joke of a company.

Celebrated my father-in-law's belated birthday here with him and my husband on the 4th of July…read more Don't let the strip mall location fool you!! This place is a gem for a delicious 5-star dining experience. My husband made a reservation in case the 4th of July was busy but we were glad to be one of two groups dining around 3pm. Greeted and seated almost immediately. We had a friendly and polite lady server (Chastity). We ordered garlic cheese bread, chai tea latte, matcha latte, filet mignon well done, braised rib, and ribeye medium well. While we waited for our food, we were looking at the art on the walls - a lot of interesting pieces from a local gallery. The teas and garlic cheese bread arrived around 5 minutes later. The cheese on the garlic bread was exceptionally good, very smooth. The teas were strong, and thankfully not super small like other places. The entrees arrived about 20 minutes after the bread which gave us time to catch up and talk. My husband's filet mignon was just to his liking, well done so zero pink and the mashed potatoes were done well. My braised rib was exactly like the waitress description of a very soft roast beef / beef brisket. My FIL's ribeye was to his liking and he finished it, which was rare. All in all an terrific choice for family lunch. Total was about $185, excluding a generous tip. We would come back for a date here :)

Upon sitting down, we struck up a conversation with a couple who were waiting on two other couples. They apparently have a standing "breakfast date" at Live Fire every Sunday morning. My wife ordered an omelet served with breakfast potatoes and artisan bread and I ordered a classic breakfast with scrambled eggs, potatoes and artisan bread. Breakfast was very good. What stood out to us was how fluffy the eggs were and how savory both the potatoes and artisan bread were. All we could think was how this feels like breakfast elevated to another level...not the usual breakfast fare. We will surely be back and perhaps try their lunch and dinner offerings the next time we're back.

It was such a unique experience and I highly recommend it! I was gifted a martini glass cake from there as well and the flavor was DELICIOUS. I also recommend their cake pops!

We hired this business to do the uplighting for my wedding reception. Twinkle Nights originally…read morequoted about $15,000.00. After one of my vendors who coordinated this aspect of the reception called this price out as ridiculous, Twinkle Nights immediately reduced the quote by about $10,000.00. Subsequently, I reduced the quantity of lights needed by 25%, and Twinkle Nights reduced the quote by a nearly proportional amount, which meant, in the end, we paid about $4,500.00. The only way to square the initial $10,000.00 reduction is that Twinkle Nights was trying to scam us, which is consistent with the rest of our experience with them. Without our knowledge, Twinkle Nights, subbed out our event to another company. The employees of that company showed up on wedding day with cheap uplights. I have been told by a vendor who works in event lighting that these lights could have been purchased--not rented--for a few hundred dollars total. While the event was beautiful, the lighting was absolutely not what we paid for and did not achieve the effect we contracted for. The colors were off and many of the cheap lights broke before the event even started. Worse still, a representative of Twinkle Nights was at my venue during setup. When this mistake/breach/issue was noticed by other members of our vendor team, the Twinkle Nights representative apparently said that she hoped I wouldn't notice. Two days after the event, another vendor told me about all of this; at that point, I still hadn't heard a word from Twinkle Nights. In fact, the only time the company apologized to me was as a Google review reply. The only positive thing I have to say for this company is that when confronted and informed that I was very willing to sue, they eventually issued a refund.
