I'll be honest, when I said yes to my girlfriends Murder Mystery birthday party I thought it was…read moregoing to be a small little shindig at her house. I'm not sure I had any idea what a murder mystery party was. I figured I'd show up to her place and try to figure it all out. This was my very first Murder Mystery! As the emails began to come in, I was a mix of emotions- a little nervous, a little excited but mainly nervous. I hoped I'd get the hang of it, be ok at it and not screw anything up. I was definitely feeling like I'd be out of my comfy zone, which I often view as a great place to be, but F! was I a nervous wreck leading up to our event. We answered a set of questions via email early on, then received our character assignment. Being Schitt's Creek themed, I was super stoked when I received Stevie. This theme was very fun, and overall easy for everyone to dress up. Lots of denim and flannels :) When I arrived to the venue and was briefed on how things would go down I felt a bit better. Once we got going and I started to get an idea of how things go down I started to feel a bit more comfortable. By the conclusion of the game and evening, I really enjoyed all aspects of it. I wasn't the only first timer and hearing about experiences from a few others who have never done this and those who have numerous times made me feel a lot better about all of it. I'd highly recommend Maid to Order Mysteries for all sorts of groups. This is such a fun birthday celebration idea, great for friends and families, and even corporate groups. I curate a bunch of corporate wellness activities throughout the year and I definitely see this on our radar. It's such a great ice breaker/team building activity and the themes seem endless. Such a creative and fun experience! If you're looking for a stand out activity that will impress your group, look no further. Very grateful to have been a part of such a fun and challenging celebration activity. Maid to Order KILLED it!!!

One note: while events can utilize as few as two actors (like ours did) - more actors might be better. It's clearly a lot for just two people to set up the needed audio and video equipment, place props etc, and then perform. We did feel a bit of their stress. That's not a criticism, just a suggestion for future clients. Thanks Dainty Dames!

She is so sweet and welcoming and made the entire process seem less. Paula was so helpful upon check in and check out. Her bright bubbly personality shines through Shot of Art making her a valuable asset to the team and business. We were then greeted by Ethan who was our instructor he too was amazing and very knowledgeable. Ethan is so easy going and did not fret when I changed my mind a few times on choosing colors to mix and match I guess that's the Libra in me lol sorry Ethan! He also walked us along the process from start to finish and made sure we were happy with our piece of art before leaving. Thank you for your hospitality Ethan and for your care. Paula and Ethan are amazing at what they do and I just wanted to highlight the two of them.

When we arrived, I appreciated that there were designated parking spots for this site! Only…read moredownside was that there was trash scattered around, so it looked a little sketchy at first. To add to this, we needed to be buzzed in so we could enter the premise. Once we were inside, the ambiance changed completely and there were a couple of IG worthy spots to take pictures while checking in. We opted for the spinning art experience since my daughter is too young to partake in the more elaborate ones. Originally, we booked for 4 people but one person got sick so we asked if we could transfer the funds for that person for another experience since there are no refunds. Luckily, was able to contact them the day before and added the bunny paint pour over experience. Ozzie was our guide and he was super kind and gentle with my daughter. We were instructed to pick 5 colors and then we donned our plastic bootie covers, apron and gloves. We entered our designated art room and was blown away by all the colors on the wall. There was even a tire swing which my daughter was all about. The spinning art experience was a lot of fun and I enjoyed seeing my daughter embrace the paint. I think her favorite part was when she had free rein to paint all over the walls. Overall, we had a great time. Only down side is that it does go by super quick and is quite an expensive experience for one hour. However, we get to have a treasured memento which is ready for pick up about 5 days afterwards and we did have a great time. That being said, #noragrats!

I hired Joan and My Private Beach Club for my wife's 50th birthday bash at the beach with 24 of our…read morefriends and family and let me tell you, I was more than impressed; I was blown away, as were our friends. Joan was referred to me by a caterer that we ended up not using and she wasn't the first company I contacted. A friend recommended a friend of hers but she ghosted me for a few days and Joan instantly impressed me with her prompt, continual and very clear communication, reviews, proven track record and most importantly, professionalism. Honestly, I don't know how long Joan has been doing this but one would think she's been doing it for decades. Oh, and when the other decorator finally got back to me and I had told her I had chosen another company, she ghosted me again...not even a 'thank you for your consideration, maybe next time' text. I easily and painlessly worked out a theme, plan and cost with Joan and I've got to admit, I'm not one of the easiest fellas to work with. Add to that that I've never done anything like this before. The location was actually at our "private beach club", the private Portuguese Bend Beach Club, a location Joan was familiar with but had never worked. Access to the sand is easy as you can park right up to it, however, I chose a location about 75 yards from the parking area, right near the water's edge. Despite the relatively unfamiliar location and extra distance, Joan was eager and up for the challenge. Online contracts were simple and professional and payments were made in two installments online, once at the time of booking and once three days prior to the event. On the day of the event, Joan and her husband arrived with plenty of time to set up for our 4pm event start. When we arrived at around 3:30, we were blown away at how beautiful everything was. We used PBC's (Portuguese Bend Club) own picnic tables to form a long table instead of the low tables and Joan dressed them absolutely beautifully with tablecloths, runners, chargers, plates, two types of glasses (one for cocktails and one for wine), lovely utensils, candles and stunning, big and lush floral arrangements to suit my wife's color palette. Joan also set up 3 big umbrellas over the tables for some shade. By the way, even after sitting out on the beach that afternoon, those lovely flowers lasted well over a week and still looked absolutely beautiful! Joan also set up two lounge areas which were perfect and cozy as well as a buffet table for drinks and appetizers. Joan didn't even charge me for the buffet table, cocktail glasses and appetizer platters. I had brought some of my own glasses and platters but she was kind enough to throw hers in. Super nice touch. One thing happened that we were only momentarily devastated by was that the wind picked up exactly at 4pm when our party started and two of the umbrellas took flight and crashed on top of 2/3 of our lovely long table, breaking many of the beautiful glasses and some other things. Needless to say, I was not happy and I turned to Joan and said, 'This is not good.' Well, being the incredible planner that Joan is, get this, she had EVERYTHING back up and looking gorgeous moments later. She swapped out the umbrellas for beautiful lacey ones that would be more suitable in the wind and cleaned up and replaced all the broken glasses and things. WHAT A PRO! My wife absolutely loved her beautiful 50th birthday party at the beach and we all had such a wonderful time. I highly, highly, highly recommend Joan and 'My Private Beach Club' to take very good care of your next event.
