However, they offer multiple public workshops. Being prompt is important to ensure you are able to complete your project during the allotted time frame. The ladies at Hammer and Stain gave clear instructions and were helpful with any questions or hiccups that came up. I had a great time doing my project. I loved this outcome and I'm already trying to convince some people to come back with me soon.

This would be great to do with a group of friends. The classes fill up pretty quick so if you see something you want to do, don't wait to sign up. Prices for each class can vary depending on what you want to do. I chose the barn quilt which had varying prices depending on size you chose and whether you wanted it framed or unframed. This was a great way to spend an afternoon. You can bring your own drinks if you would like to enjoy some wine while you work. My class took between 3 to 4 hours depending on how fast you worked. Some experienced people were able to get done quicker than me! Ok I was the last one done and that was with some help from a friend. Lol. But who's judging. There was only one instructor for our class which was probably too few for as many people as there were. However, she was very nice and everyone in the class seemed to be helping everyone else so we made do. I highly recommend this place. I will be signing up for other ones. Really fun and you get something to take home and enjoy!

Smashing and sifting through the room was really fun and was a new way to release some stress.

Choosing Avenue D Events was single handedly the best decision we made to ensure a seamless wedding…read moreexperience! My husband and I knew that we wanted to have a beautiful stress-free wedding planning process and the team at Avenue D delivered! The "Everything But The Dress" Package was truly a life-saver! As our in house wedding planners Laura and Samantha ensured that everything was taken care of from start to finish! This meant that we received vetted, top tier vendors from across the Birmingham Area without having to manage complicated contracts and timelines. Although we were not living in Birmingham, they worked with us to ensure that every detail was handled including in-person and virtual vendor meeting scheduling and day of timeline coordination. All we had to do throughout the process was show up! What we were most impressed by, however, was the kindness and attentiveness shown by Laura, Samantha, and Allie (our design and decor expert) in the weeks leading up to the wedding. You all were a heaven-sent dream team! I can truly say that on the day of our wedding, we were not stressed one bit. We were able to enjoy the entire day knowing that everything was taken care of. This is such a rare experience and all of the credit goes to the team at Avenue D. Thank you Laura, Samantha, Allie, and Chuck for curating the perfect wedding experience for us from start to finish!

Finding parking wasn't bad and the venue is very spacious. My friend knows how to throw a good party so of course it was decorated beautifully and had awesome entertainment.

After unsuccessfully searching for a local company that would rent such a thing, a friend recommended Prophouse. From beginning to end, the rental process was excellent. It was all handled over email, and even though I had the option to come into the warehouse or give them a call, working through email was much more convenient for me. Everyone was absolutely lovely, and made for a very smooth rental process! I opted to stop by the warehouse rather than have our four runners delivered. They're located right off of Greensprings, which was very convenient for me and it was so easy to find! The process of signing for the rugs was easy peasy and they even loaded them in my car for me. Such a lovely group of people who really take the stress out of the rental process of events. I would highly reccommend them!
