    Had a company event and we were pleased with Will and Enzo. The music was perfect for the…read moreatmosphere. They provided tv's and audio for the company and we couldn't have asked for anything better. People were enjoying the vibe so much that some of them asked where the dance floor was (not dance floor at a work event) so that means that our guests as much as our employees enjoyed the music. Both Will and Enzo are very polite and made sure that we had everything set up before the event. Definitely would rehire and recommend.

    The DJ was one of our later additions to the wedding. We only started looking for DJs 4 months in…read moreadvance and found most were available on Sunday, March 27th. At first we were thinking of not having a DJ and just using my MacBook Pro for music. However, due to the suggestion from the venue staff at Brookside Gardens to ensure good audio especially with our plans to be outside (though we ended up indoors due to the near freezing temperatures) we started interviewing DJs both from the venue's recommendations and on WeddingWire to see all they had to offer. We found Hercules Entertainment on WeddingWire and got to meet with Will on Zoom who showed us a presentation of all Hercules Entertainment had to offer. We chose Hercules not only because the prices were a good deal for great experience and enthusiasm, but also since in the uncertainty of COVID and the Omicron Variant, they would livestream our event for only a couple hundred dollars more. From the keyboard we rented from them for our aunt to play, to the excellent audio and amplification for the ceremony and reception, to the high quality live-streaming, to the DJing, to the MCing, everything made our day go even better than we could imagine. The livestream remains online and we are able to relive that day with it until our videography is ready. Dozens of friends, coworkers, and family who could not attend in person enjoyed watching the livestream which was of excellent quality. All 56 of us guests attending in person stayed for the reception and loved Will as a DJ and his wife who played numerous favorites including The Horah, The Humpty Dance, Cha Cha Slide, and my wife's favorite, Taylor Swift, who's hit Lover was featured during our first dance and Shake It Off during the bouquet toss. We totally recommend Will and Hercules Entertainment for your big event anywhere in the DC Metro Area.

    I found this gem years ago and have never looked back. Have always prided myself on catering to…read morelocal businesses and this is another that I would highly recommend. No matter the event, every one of their arrangements has been made beautifully. The staff is quite attentive, and courteous and I have found to be always eager to address any special requests that I might require.

    Disappointed is an understatement for our first impression of this location…read more We came in looking for a Mother's Day bouquet and were greeted by Amber (an older woman with white hair). When we explained what we were looking for, she simply told us to "look around and see what you like." The shop floor mostly consisted of cases of sad-looking flowers, with no catalog, examples, or real direction on bouquet sizing or pricing. When we asked about pricing, we were told bouquets started at $50, then $70, then $90 for premium arrangements. We pointed to a few bouquets waiting for pickup to get an idea of what those price points actually looked like, and she advised those arrangements were around $50-$60. The entire interaction already felt rushed and dismissive. We explained we wanted mostly purple flowers with some white and pink mixed in. She suggested a $70 bouquet and vase, which we agreed to and paid for. We were told it would take 30-40 minutes. We even asked if we could pick it up the next day, but she told us they'd be too busy and that we should get it that day instead. While checking out, I asked if I could purchase additional flower food. Her response was, "What I gave you is what you can get." After I clarified that I was offering to buy more, she then said, "If you want to buy a bunch we can probably do that." At that point it was obvious she wasn't really listening to us. When we returned 30 minutes later, the bouquet was mostly greenery with only about 9 flower stems. For a $70 arrangement, we expected something much fuller and with significantly more purple flowers, as requested. I politely explained that I didn't love the appearance and asked what could be done to add more flowers and reduce the greenery. Without hesitation, Amber responded: "More money." At that point, we were honestly ready to request a refund because of the attitude and lack of customer service. She then got the manager, who offered to swap out some of the greenery and roses for other flowers. About 5-10 minutes later, the bouquet was noticeably fuller, with more purple flowers and less filler. Unfortunately, the manager didn't say another word to us afterward and simply placed the bouquet on the counter before quickly disappearing into the back room. As she was packing the vase into a box, Amber grabbed a single packet of flower food and said "for your troubles" before placing it in the flower box. I understand Mother's Day is a busy holiday, but the entire experience felt rushed, dismissive, and shockingly impersonal. After leaving, we browsed their website and saw full bouquets in the $50-$60 price range which only highlighted the quality of bouquet we should have initially received. I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere if you're hoping for thoughtful customer service and a positive experience while purchasing flowers for someone special. Two stars since the manager did correct the bouquet.
