Late delivery + communication issues, but the delivery crew was great…read more I used Rental Avenue for furniture rentals for an event and spent around $7,000. Unfortunately, the experience was incredibly stressful due to logistics and communication. The delivery showed up about 6 hours late, which completely threw off our setup timeline. Because they were so behind, I ended up having to stay at the property until 10:00 PM just to get everything placed and ready. To make matters worse, communication with the office was really difficult -- at one point, we had to have the delivery guys call the office repeatedly just to get someone on the phone and get direction/answers. That should never be on the customer (or the crew) to chase down. I'll say this: the delivery guys were honestly great. They were professional, kind, and clearly doing their best under the circumstances. We also ran into an issue with the table/chair heights. I ordered tall chairs, but I had selected shorter cocktail tables. They did help fix the issue, which I appreciate -- but the way it was handled made me feel like I was being scolded for it. When you're spending thousands and already dealing with a massively late delivery, the last thing you need is attitude. A simple "no worries, we'll get it sorted" would have gone a long way. Overall: great delivery crew, but the late delivery, hard-to-reach office, and the tone when resolving the setup issue made this a frustrating experience. I really wanted this to be a smooth, professional rental process, but it wasn't. I would not recommend.

The absolute WORST venue tour experience I have ever had. From the moment we arrived, the entire…read moreinteraction felt extremely uncomfortable and unwelcoming. The way we were spoken to, the tone that was used, and the overall treatment left a very bad impression. Honestly, it felt like we were being judged based on our appearance and, quite frankly, I couldn't help but feel that there was discrimination based on the color of our skin. To call this a "tour" is honestly a joke. The woman barely showed us anything. Instead, she basically told us to walk around and look for ourselves because she had an event coming up. We were rushed through the entire experience, and it was made very clear that our presence was an inconvenience. What made the experience even more insulting was the assumption that I couldn't afford to rent the venue. I was offered cheaper options that I DID NOT ask for, and those options didn't even accommodate the number of guests I clearly stated I would have. I never asked for the cheapest package, nor did I ask how I could save money. The assumption was unnecessary, disrespectful, and completely unprofessional. If you're going to offer a venue to the public, you should treat EVERY potential client with the same level of respect, regardless of what they look like or what you assume their budget is. I came prepared to consider spending money at this facility, and instead I left feeling judged, rushed, and disrespected. Needless to say, after this experience, I would NEVER consider hosting my event here. First impressions matter, and this one was absolutely terrible.

I recently had a baby shower for my sister at the Violet Cactus, and everything was so beautiful…read more The ambiance was amazing, and the amenities that come with the package definitely take all the extra stress away. Everyone was so professional and kind, and they didn't miss a single detail. Karen was there making sure everything was set up and running smoothly, and she was so professional and amazing. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone hosting a small or intimate event. The only downside to my experience was the balloon company I used from their preferred vendor list (Ravens Decor and More). I would say you definitely need to double check and even triple check to make sure Raven gets the balloon colors exactly right. Even though it was confirmed that she understood what I wanted, you can see the difference in the photos of what I requested and what I received. I told her I was hosting a classic Winnie the Pooh baby shower for my sister and wanted neutral colors (beige, sage, and blush) for a baby girl. After our phone call, she sent me an AI-generated mockup using those colors I asked for. I absolutely loved it, so I paid the $100 deposit and booked her services ($290 total). On the day of the shower, I was shocked and blindsided because the balloon colors looked nothing like the mockup or what I had requested. I understand an AI mockup won't be identical to the final product, but the difference was far greater than expected. I had also purchased balloons for the welcome sign in the same colors as the mockup, and the contrast between those and the balloon arch was obvious.Since guests were going to be arriving soon, I had no choice but to accept it and move on. My family and I believe strongly in respecting customer service and tipping, so I still gave her a 20% tip. My only regret was tipping that much instead of simply paying the remaining balance of $190 after she finished. I booked her based on the mockup she provided, but the final balloon colors were completely different. The colors were so different that they took away from the soft, neutral look I was trying to achieve for the shower. Overall, the baby shower was wonderful, and my sister had a great time. My only disappointment was that the balloon colors were so different from what I had specifically requested.

She'll even call you instead if she thinks it would be more efficient. 2) Preferred planner with our venue. She worked insanely well with our venue coordinator, which smoothed over so many details we didn't even need to be there for. 3) Mom energy. Jessica made sure my husband and I had everything we needed and more during the events - food, water, rest, shade, phones, you name it. She was super patient and respectful with accommodating our parents' requests, too. 4) Management capability. We had a big fat South Asian wedding consisting of 4 events over 2 days with a thousand moving parts. Jessica coordinated all the vendor contracts and on-site set up. She and her husband themselves were present for the duration of all events, which made all the difference. This is the person you want when something goes wrong. From having an emergency photographer on speed dial to adjusting the timeline on the spot, Jessica kept things in motion. She brought our visions to life, whether it was through decor mockups, adding sticker decals to our welcome mirror, or negotiating quotes and extra setup time & venue space. My most favorite memory is Jessica texting me photos and videos of the Baraat celebration, which the bride is not part of. Our family has made a connection with Jessica for life, even far beyond the wedding.

Since our venue did not provide any services, we hired all of our own vendors. 3LB was essential in ensuring everyone was coordinated and in place on the wedding day. Additionally, because we used their rental equipment, their staff ensured everything was set up exactly according to our instructions. I want to specifically highlight our wedding day coordinator, Jennifer. She was terrific and served as a calming influence throughout the day, ensuring everyone was where they needed to be. I cannot recommend Three Little Birds enough. To anyone considering their services: do yourself a favor and hire this team; you won't be disappointed.

I had such a wonderful experience working with The Simple Luxe for my son's first birthday party…read morethat was farmers market themed! From start to finish they were incredibly easy to communicate with- responsive, attentive, and truly listened to what I wanted. Lisa and her team brought my vision to life, and it was even better than I imagined. What really stood out was their willingness to work within our budget without compromising on quality or creativity. They not only designed and set up all the balloons, backdrops, installations but they also spent extra time helping me decorate and design the farmers market with the custom gifts I made and/or purchased for my guests. The entire process felt stress-free and enjoyable. Everything turned out beautifully and we received so many compliments. I am truly honored to be The Simple Luxe's first farmers market themed client and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and kind vendor who goes above and beyond. If you have been following them on social media like I was and have an upcoming event - reach out to them and get a quote! You will not be disappointed!

We also wanted to include our late dog in the design, and she incorporated him so beautifully. Seeing the attention to detail in their previous work is what convinced us to move forward, and all of our guests were blown away by how everything turned out. Jasmine was also a pleasure to work with. She was very communicative, easy to talk to, and made the entire process stress-free from start to finish. She really listened to our ideas, gave us time to make decisions, and helped us stay within our budget. Huge thanks to the setup and cleanup team as well. They were punctual and respectful of the time we had the venue booked. My wife and I would definitely recommend The Simple Luxe to anyone (if it's within your budget). Their hard work and dedication to their clients truly shows in their work.

Came here with a friend for a pizza cooking class! We had so much fun! They were very welcoming…read morewhen we arrived. Offering us water and an olive tapenade appetizer while we waited for the class to begin. They start out the class with some knife skills as we chopped the ingredients for the pizza sauce and pizza toppings. Great quick lesson on easy way to chop onions without crying among other things. We made the dough for the pizza and the pizza sauce from scratch! We each got to make our own individual pizza, and had the option to grill or bake the pizza. There was a variety of toppings which we had chopped up and delicious mozzarella cheese. The pizzas tasted delicious! They also made a nutella and strawberry dessert pizza for us to share at the end of the class. They e-mail you the recipes the next day so you can try cooking on your own. Don't know if I'll ever take the time to make this again by myself, but overall a great time with a friend and a great dinner!
