How many of you out there can can you've been to a marionette show? Put this on your list of things…read moreyou have done and that you're glad you did it. I'd never been to one before but had a chance to go with a group that was going. What the heck, a new life experience, and it turned out to be a good one. The Bob Baker Marionette Theater is the longest continuously running puppet theater in the USA. It's a non-profit organization, so that's even more reason to support it! It was a wonderful experience. We saw the Winter Wonderland show. They change the shows throughout the year. The show is super family-friendly, and "children of all ages" will thoroughly enjoy it. I was really impressed with how tight the show was. Each scene was about three minutes long (it seemed) and there were no gaps, just non-stop marionette action. I have no idea how they keep track of everything backstage. My hats off to the entire crew for keeping it all together and putting on a seamless show. You can meet the puppeteers before and after the show. They are so nice and uber talented! It's a small theater. Not a bad seat in the house. There are even tables and chairs in the back part of the theater. There are pillows on the floor right at stage level for the kids so they get the best view possible. Also, there's a gift shop that helps support the theater. Very reasonable prices. Credit cards only. You've got to do it. At least once! ...and then you're probably going back again...bringing some new friends along to enjoy the experience! You want another reason to go? They gave us free ice cream after the show!!

There's something so heartwarming and wholesome about seeing a bunch of people of all ages having fun and smiling during these performances. I always get a tiny bit emotional at the collective effervescence in this place. At the beginning of their Winter Wonderland Holiday Special, one of the marionettes tells you to "let the outside world fade away" while you're enjoying the show - and im pleased to say it's so easy to do that while these marionettes are dancing and frolicking in front of you. If you're on the fence about getting tickets to a show, just do yourself a favor and get them. The shows are always so well done, with my favorite being the Halloween Spooktacular. The performances range from funny to heartwarming to a tiny bit racy, with a particular black or pink cat and her hijinks among the audience. Speaking of the audience, if you sit in the very first row, the marionettes may come up to you and sit in your lap, take your hat off, or even shimmy in your face. It's different every show and it's always fun to see the audience reactions. If it's not obvious from my review, I love it here and hope they're around forever.

From start to finish they were incredibly easy to communicate with- responsive, attentive, and truly listened to what I wanted. Lisa and her team brought my vision to life, and it was even better than I imagined. What really stood out was their willingness to work within our budget without compromising on quality or creativity. They not only designed and set up all the balloons, backdrops, installations but they also spent extra time helping me decorate and design the farmers market with the custom gifts I made and/or purchased for my guests. The entire process felt stress-free and enjoyable. Everything turned out beautifully and we received so many compliments. I am truly honored to be The Simple Luxe's first farmers market themed client and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and kind vendor who goes above and beyond. If you have been following them on social media like I was and have an upcoming event - reach out to them and get a quote! You will not be disappointed!

Sweet Emilia Jane is amazing!…read more Even though I had only 3 months to plan my wedding from Austin, I thought I could do it all myself. Well, I should have looped in Emilia from the beginning! Luckily I came to my senses and hired Emilia for her month of planning services. She quickly organized everything, helped me decide on vendors, and even designed and made all my flowers (silly me thought I could do it myself). Her flowers were seriously amazing! She helped me with my budget, design choices, schedule and most importantly she made sure that I didn't stress out. With Emilia and her team, my husband and I were able to enjoy our day and not have to worry about anything. Emilia is super cool, organized, creative and she really knows her stuff. Her vendor and design recommendations were excellent. Hire her!

We corresponded via email a few times and when we finally met she gave me a big hug and immediately put me at ease. She was patient, thorough and flexible. She took care of every detail and had great instincts to know when to ask me about something or when to just make an exec decisions. If you've ever planned a wedding, you know how the decisions start getting overwhelming and Emilia knew exactly when to just choose for me. She truly allowed me to enjoy my wedding, handling all of the details and putting our fires behind the scenes. And she didn't worry me about any of it or even show that these things were a problem! Such a cool cucumber. The rental company forgot to bring some pretty crucial items and Emilia just said "I'll handle it" and she did! Right then I knew she was one of the best choices we had made. She worked her magic and everyone is still talking about what a kick-butt party we had. If you're looking for a coordinator or planner, please get at least a month-of and please go with Emilia!

Candice and her team were perfect…read more Candice would always take the time to listen to and enage in our crazy requests. Whenever we thought of something that we thought was complicated, she would immediately have a solution that she could execute seamlessly. For things we didn't have much of an opinion on, Candice always knew what was best given our preferences, but always presented us with options just in case we wanted to go a different way. She kept us on track throughout the process, and when things got stressful for us closer to the date, she stepped in and took a lot off of our plate. Everything at the wedding went extremely smoothly. We had no stress, everything was taken care of. We were able to enjoy our wedding completely carefree. I usually keep a to do list of everything that needs to get done in life to make sure nothing slips through the cracks, even if its not something that I need to do. I tend to keep that list even when I'm fairly confident the other person will complete that task. With Candice, I felt comfortable not keeping that list, and just trusting she would take care of everything, which she did. But just the fact that I was able to get comfortable enough with Candice easy on to not keep that list was such a huge relief. Normally when I go to a wedding, I can identify the planner, but I tend to not have a strong opinion about the planner. Many of our guests commented on how smoothly everything ran with Candice and her team. She made a uniquely positive impression on our guests.

When I hired Jordi she promised several bids from rental vendors, vetted trustworthy staffing, a…read morecaterer, and to be present the day of the event to oversee. She front loaded her fee, which I foolishly and naively paid. She did not deliver on caterer, or vendors. I found my own. She refused to be present during the event, and she refused to give me a refund. After cashing my check, things quickly went south. Her caterer couldn't cook the dishes I wanted served, so I found my own caterer. She was not happy with that, as planners traditionally get a cut from the caterer. The rental company rep showed up at my house without a price list, and Jordi and her told me how they were overbooked several months out and I needed to put a deposit down right away! ( Oct is not their busy season) I balked at their pricing and the quality I was getting for the $$ I was spending, and asked Jordi to get other bids. She refused, and even went one step further to tell me there were no other places that did lights and equipment ( false). I found my own. I ended up using another company that had superior products- shantung silk tablecloths, crystal stemware, and italian flatware and hundreds of feet more in string lights for less than half the price I would spend with Jordi's choice where I was stuck with cheap polyester, and low end flatware and glasses. We are talking about a difference of many many thousands of dollars. Staffing, Jordi sent an elderly lady in a footcast for the interview. She insisted that I hire two bartenders when there were only soft drinks and wine being served. She pushed exorbitantly priced appetizers which I didn't want. At each point I expressed my dissatisfaction. Then, Jordi then told me she wouldn't be present during the event, as she 'wasn't needed", and so I would have to use her "vetted staff". This was outrageous. Her choice was physically not up to the task. I found other trustworthy staffing. At this point, I fired Jordi, and asked for a refund. Jordi has refused to give me a refund. She has blatantly refused, despite failing to perform on every task. My party was elegant and beautiful, no thanks to Jordi. She caused me nothing but aggrevation. She didn't come through in any form or fashion, and she has refused to give me a refund.
