I used Adam Covington's services for my wedding. He provided me with gorgeously fresh and beautiful…read moreflowers. I made my own centerpieces (since it was Mario-themed), and he complimented them with great flowers. He delivered them well ahead of time and also was very professional with our "interesting" choice for our wedding. I think the only thing that was a bit difficult was that at times Adam can be hard to reach. Sometimes a week or so would go by and I wouldn't hear from him after I had sent a message with various questions. I won't dock his five stars though, considering he made up for it by being very professional when we did talk. I definitely recommend him for weddings.

I feel so lucky that I was able to work with Adam Covington for my wedding. My mom discovered his…read morestorefront downtown Cedar Rapids and it was like striking gold! Not only does he have an amazing eye and sense of style, he's one of the most energetic people I've ever met and won't stop until your wedding is impeccable. He's also hilarious, which makes it that much more fun to work with him. My husband and I purchased a lot of wedding decor ourselves and paid Adam and his team to set it up with other decor rented from him and I couldn't believe how he brought it all to life with his staging. He not only took the time to sit down and help me figure out how it was all going to come together more than once before the wedding, he still managed to surprise me and bring me to tears when I saw it. We also did our flowers with Adam - I had sent him a few images of flowers I liked and he managed to strike the perfect balance between all the different photos to give me the most amazing bouquets ever. I couldn't have imagined anything more perfect. I've honestly looked at photos of them every day since our wedding almost three months ago. I can't say enough good things about Adam - he's beyond talented, hard-working, genuine and you get such an amazing product for the price. Work with him if you have the chance!

This place is so much fun. I've gone to two painting classes now, once alone and once with a date…read moreand I had a blast both times and came home with a beautiful painting. The teachers are great and show you exactly how to make your painting look like a professional painted it. An evening well spent!

I hadn't been to this new location of Brush & Barrel before (they moved to this location from the…read more1st Ave location in 2021), so this was a great chance to check it out. My husband and I had such a great time testing out our creative brains as we painted Picasso-inspired faces. Thankfully, the staff were generous with the paint! I think I asked for more paint 3-4 times... maybe I just like to glob in on, though. :) The space we painted in fit approximately 20-25 people. There was another room where splatter painting occurs. I think every one of us in our group said, "OooooOOOOooooo," as we passed that room on our way out. I will be curious to check it out sometime.

This week was my THIRD occassion to call to ask about possible rental of one of their items…read more (Three separate, non-related calls, months apart) Also the THIRD time the person who answered the phone could not tell me if they carried the item I was looking for and the THIRD time I was told Jane would need to call me back. The THIRD time my message went unanswered. THREE strikes and you're out in my book!!! Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time calling them.
