I made a gorgeous sf giants baseball themed bracelet at an oracle park event! The staff at Drangonfly designs made it super easy, explained how to do it and did the hard work of the clasp and finishing. They have oodles of pretty beads and charms, even a choice of silver or gold hardware. On the way out several tween girls asked and ran off excitedly to make their own. Highly recommend. read more

Our experience with Dragonfly Designs was so wonderful! We hired them for our daughter's 8th birthday party, and we had such positive interactions from the beginning with them. They were very responsive to my early inquiries and answered all of my questions very thoroughly. Once we decided to book with them, they walked me through the entire process from start to finish, made sure we were prepared for the big day, and checked in with me regularly. On the day of the party, they had 5 people at our home helping with our group of 22 children, and it was such a smooth, fun, creative, under-control party. The jewelry and tie-dye kept the kids engaged, all of the workers were very helpful and organized, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone without reservations. read more

Celebrated our daughter's 10th birthday with a Dragonfly Designs beading party and it was FANTASTIC! The folks from Dragonfly, Anh and Katalina, showed up early and immediately got started setting up. They were flexible in making our space work even though we were short a table, and once all the kids had arrived they got started. Anh and Katalina are really good at their jobs. They are professional, organized, experienced and skilled at working with kids, clear with directions, enthusiastic, and patient. It was a pleasure to watch them work with our daughter and her friends. The party went smoothly and the kids had so, so much fun. We were impressed with and grateful for the organization Stacee has created and the brilliant work of Anh and Katalina. Worth every penny and then some and will be sending out their contact info to any of our parent friends who are in the party planning market. read more

The team from Dragonfly designs just ran an amazing tie-dye 5th birthday party for us. The team was friendly and professional and they dealt with the kids chaos extremely well. Can't wait to do another party with this crew! read more

The Dragonfly Design team was fantastic! The house was so quiet I could hardly believe it!! 11 kids sat and listened intently while the crew explained and help them with their jewelry projects. I hate doing a party favor with things the kids won't use again. With Dragonfly Designs the gift is the jewelry they make so they get exactly what they want - plus bragging rights that they made it themselves. What a wonderful 7th birthday party for my daughter. read more

Dragonfly Designs is exceptional! From their creativity to execution, everything was on point. They took great care to discuss my event in order to find custom activities that would be aligned with my client's vision. They exceeded my expectations and I can't wait to work with them again! read more

My daughter attended half a dozen camps this summer, and this was her favorite! She loved all of the projects and came home full of enthusiasm about what she created. Highly recommended read more

We had tie dye and magnet decorating at my daughter's 3rd birthday party and it was such a hit! Everyone had a great time. The team arrived on time to set up, coordinated the activities so well and cleaned up before leaving! 10/10 recommend. read more

hired Dragonfly Designs for a 7yo birthday party -- I selected the combination jewelry making and tie dye, a 2-hour party. It went so well and the kids had such an amazing time. The team of 4 showed up 15-20 minutes before the start time to set up. Everything was super well organized and professional. They walked the girls through an easy system for jewelry making, I was amazed no beads got mixed up. The girls had so much fun making so many pieces, and then they moved over to tie dye in shifts as well. There were a bunch of options - shirts, hats, totes, headbands, scrunchies, and each girl got to tie dye 3 things (except one who got so into the jewelry making that she completely forgot to go tie dye!) -- they provided each girl with a bag with clear instructions on how to handle the tie dye, which was great, and little bags for their jewelry. They used the full 2 hours and the girls had so much fun -- not just making bracelets but also bookmarks, sun catchers, key chains. There were neat charms too. All in all the girls had a blast, I appreciated how hands off it was for me, and I would absolutely hire them again (pretty sure we're going to for her sisters Girl Scout troop). The pricing was comparable to other parties at this age as well, and I appreciated being able to do it at my house! read more

My seven-year-old has a deep passion for art, with many of his own works proudly displayed in his room. He looks forward to attending this camp every year because of the variety of creative activities offered. From origami and jewelry making to clay sculpting, painting, and mixed media, there's always something new to explore. He eagerly heads to camp every morning, excited about the day's artistic adventures. As both a teacher and a parent, I've had wonderful conversations with my child about his projects, the creative process, and how his ideas unfold each day. The teachers at Dragonfly Designs are exceptional--they quickly connect with the students and cultivate a supportive environment. This nurturing approach has made summer camp a highlight for my son two years in a row. read more

We had a really great experience at the jewelry making camp. The counselors were friendly and taught the kids a lot of new techniques and provided lots of creative opportunities for the kids. We would definitely sign up again! read more

Very solid party option! All the girls (and the parents!) enjoyed being able to make various pieces of jewelry and tie-dye! It was well-run, well-organized, and the kids were never left without support if they needed it, with so many helpful staffers on hand (especially with small beads to consider!). Would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a great party idea. Very professional crew and excellent result. :) read more

This was a unique virtual event - participants were engaged and proud to show off their ornament artwork. Thank you to James for making things simple, but fun, all while keeping the conversation going and the energy up! I definitely recommend Dragonfly Designs and Elevent...they will elevate your next corporate or teambuilding event. Happy Holidays! read more

Used them for my kid's bday party. I think it is expensive for what they provide, and would be better for maybe 10+years old age group of serious crafters and beaders or for corporate team building - not younger kids even though website says 6+. We used them for an 8 year old bday party and it kept the attention of some, but not others. The instructions are pretty detailed for that age group. The teachers were very task focused helping close up the necklaces and whatnot, but weren't as engaging with the kids (I get it, that's not their job, but I thought if they do kids camps and parties they would be more extroverted with kids.... one barely spoke to anyone the whole time). They also charged a $100 mobile fee even though there is no possibility of having the party in-studio (no studio), and we had to procure our own tables and chairs - so not as convenient as I thought even though we are required to pay the fee for them to bring the party to us.... Doesn't seem that hard for them to have the folding tables and chairs they want to use, on hand and just provide it as part of the bday party setup... They also had a teacher cancel the day of the party (so we had 2 instead of 3), which I understand life happens, but the overall number of things that made it seem not super customer friendly kept adding up... edit to add: yes I am a legit customer and have used the business, I just don't use my actual name on yelp reviews for privacy. *Also, just noticed when I was on evite that the customized evite that was supposed to be a part of the bday package is a generic free version from evite. I struggled with it when I got it bc the pics they sent didn't match the size of the evite and now I know why.. it's not custom or easy to use at all.. read more

My friend booked a jewelry making session for us group of girls, and it was so much fun! You can surprisingly create a lot of pieces in 2 hours! Kelly was our instructor, and she was great! She explained everything well, and she made our pieces look perfectly finished. The music was great, too. There are soooo many beads to choose from, and we loved our bonding experience. At the end, we even got goody bags! It was a very nice touch :) In case you have trouble finding the place, it's on the second floor. read more

Fabulous team of young ladies came to help celebrate my daughter's birthday. They came exactly at the time they said they would, set up and the party started right away.

I would not hesitate to book another children's jewelry party with Dragonfly Designs. We hosted a group of 7-8 year olds and I was amazed how each girl was totally engaged the entire 1.5 hours. The quality of beads, charms, and crystals is fantastic and the the girls were so proud of the creations they made. We were grateful for the help of three Dragonfly jewelry artists who were so patient and helpful toward each of our guests. I appreciate how easy, organized, and unique this whole experience was from start to finish. The communication up to the party was noteworthy and I am so happy I found this company in my search for party ideas. Highly recommend! read more

We had a (virtual) corporate cartooning event where Garry taught us to draw chibi superhero's. We drew Batman and Wonder Woman, and then eventually drew a superhero selfie. It was so fun! Garry walked us through each stroke and we were done drawing before we knew it. I was pleasantly surprised to see how good my drawings turned out. Garry started off the session telling us to imagine we're at a BBQ so that there wasn't too much pressure with drawing. :) The class was well organized in terms of structure and timing, and was an overall great experience! This is my second experience with DragonFly designs (took a Macrame class before this) and both were fantastic! Would highly recommend this company for any corporate or personal events. read more

Angelica and the Dragonfly Designs team was great! They hosted a jewelry making party for my 9 year old daughter's birthday. We had a group of 10 and it was smooth from beginning to end.

Great class. My kid loves it! She would come home with all these jewelries she made and can't wait to go again the next day. The teachers are nice and helpful as well! read more

My daughter really enjoyed their summer art camp, and came home happy with some beautiful art everyday!

Dragonfly Designs was amazing to work with! From my initial inquiry of a virtual team bonding for my staff all the way to the day of our scheduled activity, everything went smoothly and communication was awesome. Elzeth answered every question I had, worked with me on my company's budget and other variables and made it all work. After securing our event date and choosing our activity, the kits were sent to my team ahead of time, packaging was excellent, and the day of our virtual event was topped off by our amazing instructor/host Tammy! It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with my team in this very unusual times, but Dragonfly Designs provided the platform to make it happen. Thank you so much and I'm sure I'll be back for more fun soon:-) read more

Unfortunately, our 2020 in-person summer camp was cancelled due to COVID, big surprise! To cope, Dragonfly Designs pivoted by converting all their classes to an online format. After remote school, my 11-year old daughter was very reluctant to do any online classes, she was very "zoomed-out." So , the owner worked with us to convert our all-day in-person camp fees to five one-hour private art lessons in fashion design drawing. My daughter absolutely LOVED, it. The teacher, Tammy, was amazing. My daughter's art really evolved over just one week. " I liked that I could create my own design and the teacher would help me make it Instead of assigning me a project." read more

The merchandise is well made and decently priced. This is a great place to get a nice gift for mom on Mother's Day! Shipping was fast! I ordered on Saturday and received my package on Monday. It helps that we live in the same state! read more
