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

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 took me and my fiancé two weeks to get a package that was delivered there. The first day we attempted to do the pick up, they couldn't find it in store even though the system showed it being there. We phoned the next day to see if it had arrived. They said they didn't know. Well when we were there and they tried to look for it; EVER SINGLE WISH BAG WAS OPEN. They know what you've got before you do, and if it's something of interest you can bet your bottom dollar they took it. They are sneaky, unorganized and VERY unprofessional. I was under the impression it was illegal to open someone else's mail however, if you're an employee of Giant Promotions that's part of your job.... I only recommend them if you would like to wait weeks for something that's already in their warehouse, or if you would like your packages opened, or if you would like things from your package to disappear.

The Halifax Club is a members only organization established in 1862. Apparently, when the land was…read moreoriginally purchased in the late 1800s it only cost $8000. It is a gorgeous old building in downtown Halifax, and in the last number of years the direction has been shifting; attempting to transition from its fairly stuffy roots, into something a little more accessible and perhaps more appealing to a younger crowd. Last night I attended a theatre performance at The Halifax Club. Zuppa, an amazing local theatre company, staged their play "Penny Dreadful" in the Uniacke room. The play is set in the 1800s so The Halifax Club as a venue, with its high ceilings and large paintings, was a very appropriate choice for the ensemble. The Pryor room bar was open before and after the show and our charming bartender Alex was helpful and generous. I enjoyed a glass of red wine for $7.5 while my date's beer was about $5.5. All of the people we encountered during our evening were very friendly and fun. If you happen to be invited by a member to dine or attend a function at The Halifax Club, you should accept the invitation. If you're hoping to become a member, check out the website. I'm sure it's not cheap, but you can feel both a sense of excitement and nostalgia knowing that you're walking the same halls that James C. Cogswell and William Cunard once did.

He walked us through the menu and any rentals we needed (dance floor) and was really accommodating. We had the place to ourselves and they were able to let the wedding party in early for photographs (damn rain...the only rainy Labour Day weekend in almost ten years, I swear). The food was great. I loved that I didn't have to worry about decorations - a few flowers, a bit of sheer fabric to match our colours on the table and boom! the place was ready to go. My guests loved it and kept saying how classy my wedding was, but it was all because I chose this as my venue. (disclaimer: this is all based on the service I had in 2004).

The planning: We were planning our wedding from the U.S., which meant we couldn't have in person meetings with any of our vendors. I am a huge dance party fan, as is my now hubby, and we really (really!) wanted to have a rocking dance floor at our wedding. As most wedding planners, brides, grooms, etc know, the DJ is really essential to this end. Jeff was so great leading up to the event. We probably booked him about 9 months in advance after our other DJ cancelled on us. We had somewhat of a more complicated wedding ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner to reception layout and Jeff helped us with every part of it. He even rented us a small sound system to use at dinner for a very reasonable price and came to meet with my husband in person the day of the ceremony to make sure everything was going to go according to plan.

When we walked into the reception from dinner (the same place we had earlier had our ceremony), Jeff had transformed the space into a pink (my color request) paradise. We got married at halifax via railway in the alcove, which is a magnificent venue with very old architecture and ceilings for days. He placed up lights in all of the perfect locations to make the space look, simply, like a party. It was such a beautiful mix of old, majestic architecture and a fun, party vibe. He did not hesitate when on several occasions friends, myself or the groom, or family made song requests or there were minor changes to the schedule. His flexibility combined with his amazing skills are really unparalleled. He knew exactly how to read the crowd - for us that meant a phenomenal mix of mostly early to mid 90's jams - and kept everyone, including my grandma, on the dance floor for 4 hours straight. I have never seen so many people dancing, laughing, and having fun so consistently for so many hours. I could go on, but this is already the longest review I have ever written. Jeff, THANK YOU! Our reception was infinitely beyond our expectations and could not have been the same without your mad skillz!
