We had my son's 5th birthday here and he loved it. It is an indoor playground with a separate (but…read morefully viewable from the playground so kids/parents can keep an eye on each other) kitchen/eating area. My son invited 12 friends and they had a blast tearing around the play area. The kitchen area was already set up when we got there with brown craft paper and crayons on the long tables as well as paper towels, plates and a ready-to-go coffee maker! They had even put up some streamers and balloons. Joanne, the owner, was very nice and prompt in her communication. I put down a deposit before the party and she encouraged me to come 15 minutes early to decorate, so that wouldn't eat into the party time. She also told me I could spend 15 extra minutes after our allotted time (12-2) to clean up, again so it wouldn't eat into the party time, and on the day we arrived the gentleman who let us in told us we were the only party booked for the day and not to worry about being out right on time. Very nice! The place was immaculate and had two washrooms which is good when you have lots of kids who are drinking lots of juice boxes! We got the basic package, which was $199 for two hours rental of the space. I would definitely recommend this place to friends who are looking to have parties for their kids. My son and his friends had a blast and a lot pf parents commented to me on what a great place it was. We had a great experience!

It's that time of year--the time where the question of what to wear on Hallowe'en drives me…read morestraight to Glow Parties. If you're experiencing the same predicament, visit Glow to see an impressive selection of new costumes for adults, kids, toddlers and pets. Choices include the traditional, zombies, witches and princesses to the more obscure such as Ghostbusters, fairies, etc. to the cute including cowboys and bumblebees. For me, I find it the widest and best organized selection of new costumes in the city. While a full costume can be pricey ($35 and up), you can easily build your own from the wide range of accessories. The selection of wigs, swords, masks, and hats lets you easily assemble your own look. There is also an intriguing selection of footwear that reminded me of drag queen paraphernalia although it came in smaller sizes too--red sequined pumps, pink patent high heeled boots, and other attention getting platform shoes. And the place isn't just about scaring the beejesuz out of people. There were lots of cool decorations for all occasions including an awesome selection of birthday party loot bag favours, loot for age-specific birthdays, and lots of princess stuff. If you're planning a party, pop by this spot first for a one-stop shopping trip. The staff is very friendly and happy to answer any questions. They were quite helpful in assembling a couple of clown costumes.

My wife and I contracted Larry to DJ our wedding and for his modest prices we received a stellar…read moreamount of service, professionalism, and not least of all perfect atmosphere for every aspect of our wedding reception. Larry was on time and on target to ensure that he was fully set up well in advance of the guests arrival and while the guests anxiously (impatiently) awaited the arrival of the bride and groom he provided light cabaret music to ease the atmosphere which continued through the dinner. We had given Larry only a couple of requests for songs and had given him free reign for the dance and he did not disappoint, providing music from not only this generation but others as well which got everyone of all ages on the floor swinging and dancing and also provided a couple of slower songs periodically through the night (it's a wedding after all) We could not be more pleased with his services and are already recommending him to friends, family and strangers alike. We can't thank you enough for your help that night and if there's anything else we can do for you please let us know. Sincerely, The Marlows
