Their website contains quite a number of helpful wedding planning tools, and I feel that they go above and beyond the typical DJ's duties with those additions. Once the wedding day arrived, they took care of everything! I felt confident knowing they would keep the flow of the evening- and they played great music!! We received multiple compliments on how fun and entertaining our reception was, and I think this can be attributed to a great Dj. 100% recommend Central Oregon DJ to anyone in need. They did an excellent job.

There's a birthday party coming up for my grandson and she gave me so many different ideas, to make the best birthday possible. This was so helpful to me. If you have a party coming up, II would definitely encourage you to go to the Bend Party Store. Also, there was a special event for my grandchildren's school and the fine folks at the Bend Party Store, were more than happy to put up a flyer, to share with the community. We appreciate this, so very much. . Thank you for the support. You represent the Bend community in such a positive way. We need more businesses like this. Sincerely Marty, Nelson and Waldorf School.

More than a year had passed since I was inside Gairdin. I forgot how many nifty, seasonal things…read morethis store has and how many of them are pretty decent prices considering the competition in Bend. The reason It had been so long absent was because in times past the interior space was so tightly packed that it was difficult to get around and a tad claustrophobic to boot. Bend has a lot of home accessory / gift store options and I found myself headed to others for more aisle space and breathing room. (Space planning in merchandising matters for a welcome vibe that encourages customers to come and to buy.) So today, whether by design or serendipity, it was nice to find aisleways inside were more open making shopping enjoyable. Also to allow "go slow" wandering since there is a lot here to like. Today I was on a mission for high quality, spring into summer faux blooming plant options that looked real. Real lookng faux plant materials are the reason I normally think of Gairdin as they are one of the two best options in Bend for those things in higher quality. Found just what I was looking for among many options to consider. Plus a "just perfect" little metal pot that wasn't on on my hunting list (but there it was) and some spring accent items to tuck in an Easter display. In addition to faux plant materials (some downstairs more up a flight of stairs), there are interesting pots in a variety of sizes, trays, seasonal accents (for this time of year things like birds nests, birds, birdhouses, rabbits), candles, accent pillows, wall art, throws, jewelry, cards, a few small occasional tables, table lamps....the list goes on and on. All new merchandise. THIS N THAT: LOCATION TIP: Can be a little difficult to find the first time. Look for it in Bend's Old Mill District in the building directly behind Strictly Organic Coffee off of Colorado. And here's a big advantage for this location; there is ample parking in the associated lot so you need not struggle with parking as you have to do downtown. ACCESSIBILITY: A couple of accessible parking spots in the lot. Store is level in. Only barrier could be tighter aisleways at times when merchandising of store makes them so. Note some plant and container materials are up a flight of stairs. RETURN POLICY: Be sure to ask before you buy if the item is returnable. On nearly all or maybe all items the return window is only 24 hours wide..

We were looking for a bedside gift to give to a friend in rehab. Found the perfect thing. A beautiful grass in a very chic black woven basket.

We hired The Grain Collective to cater my parents' 65th wedding anniversary celebration, and the…read moreexperience was exceptional from start to finish. Chef Dom guided me through a process that initially felt overwhelming--deciding what to serve for a group ranging from 5 to 90 years old. He provided a thoughtful questionnaire that helped us narrow down options that would work for our family, considering not just the food but also the best serving style. On the day of the event, Chef Brian served a remarkable multi-course Thai meal that left everyone raving. But more than the food, what stood out was the care taken to ensure our family time wasn't overshadowed by kitchen activities. If there was ever a question, Chef Brian would discretely check with me and then quietly continue his work. When presenting each dish, they shared what we were eating and were eager to answer any questions. They kept the space clean and organized as they worked, and when it was time for my father's speech, all kitchen activities paused so we could fully appreciate the moment. I wouldn't hesitate to hire The Grain Collective again for any future private dining experience.

Flux Thermal Lounge is an absolute gem in Bend if you're into hot/cold contrast therapy, recovery,…read moreor just want a relaxing reset. The facility is beautifully designed, clean, and spacious.
