I was able to see glass sheets being made and take a tour of the factory and Resource Center. The staff was friendly and helpful and I had a whole new appreciation for the amount of work and quality controls that go into each sheet of glass. I really appreciate that the company works hard to retain their employees and create an atmosphere of collaboration. Seeing the thought that goes into creating the glass not to mention the choreography of the adding and mixing (and yes, I DO mean choreography!) to make the combination of colors. I can't wait to visit again and see and do more. Thank you for a wonderful and unforgettable first visit!

Sloane and her entire SAS event planning team were such a joy to work with. Every time we spoke to the bride and groom leading up to the wedding day they would comment about how much hiring Sloane was taking all the stress out of the planning process and how thankful they were to have her expert guidance. Sloane was super organized and gave clear and helpful information leading up to the wedding day to all us vendors, making the day-of incredibly smooth. Sloane and her team were also exceptionally friendly and kept the whole day running on schedule- not an easy thing to do with a location change in the middle of the day! It was easy to tell how much Sloane cares about the people she works with. She went out of her way several times to check in with us to ensure we were getting everything we needed to execute a great service for the bride and groom. She also was so caring to the couple, the entire bridal party and the guests! I would highly recommend choosing SAS event planning for your wedding day!

There's a grand reason why it popped up on top because this class was amazing! It did seem a bit rushed at times, but I feel like it's because there was so much to fit in the time frame of a one day class (10am-5pm). From my 20oz of silver Art Clay that was included in the separate materials fee ($60), I was able to crank out 4 good sized/detailed pendants for a first timer (photos have been uploaded for reference). I had a small amount of the clay leftover due to the timing of everything and trying to get my other pendants brushed and shined up, but it was able to save and store for a later use. Cindy was very informative and helpful. She was very capable of running the class smoothly so that everyone was on the same page. There was information provided for possible future projects and classes that really got the class and myself pumped up and eager to learn more. When making reservations for a class, be very sure that you do it early because it was a pretty packed class today and she only has room for 8 students before having to waitlist others. There is a 1 hour lunch break around 12:45pm. She gives you the option of leaving the premises or hanging out, so plan your meal accordingly. I am giving this place a 4 1/2 mentally, but since there is no such thing on Yelp, I am rounding up. The rushed feeling at times seemed to radiate a little bit of irritation from Cindy, but it's understandable when you have an amount of people who have absolutely no knowledge whatsoever of what they are doing. Other than that, it's an amazing experience and class if you would like to learn about the basics of metal clay, and it calms down a bit more after we learn to fire our projects. I highly recommend it.

I came in to have a collar repaired. They showed me my options of stones and sizes. The jewelry I…read morecame in with was stainless steel, so they had anticipated it to be more work, and more expensive. But they determined that originally the stone was merely glued on. They could have easily charged more to make a buck, but they kept things in price range the entire time. I was also back and forth a bit with what stone I wanted to use. They were very gracious and patient with me. Ultimately my price for a stone replacement was only $46, and they finished the work days before the ETA. I can't speak more highly of them. Also a bonus: they were okay with communication via text, so I didn't have to take phone calls while I was out and about. They have it all, from raw stones, to gemstones. Beads, cabachons, tumbled stones. VERY reasonable price wise. I was also picking out stones for a necklace I wanted to make. I checked around with them, and then stopped by Celestial Awakenings to see what the better deal was since they were so close together. Handley far exceeded the quality for a fraction of the price. I will 1000% be a repeat customer. Thank you for the care you took, the patience you had, and the speed of service. For more of a small business, they really spend the time to cater to the needs of the customer. It's also very clear that they have several well-versed team members, so you can be helped at any time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
