Such a joy to work with her. Her rates are very reasonable considering the quality and breadth of her designs. I mean... she could be an instagram sensation easy if a few influencers grammed her work. She is also very sweet and will always chat with guests as she's doing the designs and make each and everyone feel extra comfortable sitting in the make up chair. She does everything from full face masks, glitter bars, smaller designs. I mean... let me tell you something: Absolutely no reason AT ALL why you wouldn't want her at adult events. In fact, I've used her exclusively for events with 21+ adults. Can't wait to work with her in the future! Pixie Dust is definitely my go to for ANYthing costume make up/ face painting/ on body make up related. Which as an event planner is something to treasure.

This place is beautiful. It's too bad that the owners of the property aren't very professional…read more During the whole Wedding they ran around Willy/nilly yelling at each other. Not to mention they didn't even change into suitable wedding attire. It's also very dark there and the exit roads are not clearly marked and this is very dangerous. As a guest I don't want to see where the catering people are preparing the food. There should be a place somewhere out of the way,so that the guests can't see the food prep area.

To say that Chikitaki is really good would be a gross understatement. They were phenomenal…read more Everybody kept coming up and telling me it was the best kids party ever. They showed up on time. There were costume changes, bubbles, a light show, music, a puppet show, the list goes on and on. The adults enjoyed it just as much if not more than the adults. I always try to top the year before with my son's birthdays parties but there is no way to top Chikitaki so I guess I'll be seeing them again next year. I'll definitely be seeing them again next year.

Yes ole Uncle Derryk is once again at another birthday celebration with close friends and a lot of…read morelittle kiddies all over the place laughing and running and playing like no tomorrow all to celebrate a second birthday for my very good friends little girl. Why all of this fun you ask well it's because they have a great team of party entertainment to cheer them on and actually they (particularly one of the gals who looks like actress Maria Conchita Alonso back in the day) is dressed kinda of like a cheerleader complete with Go-Go boots which gives adults like me something to enjoy. They provide music, songs, professional DJ, party lights, clowns, costume characters, face painting, contest and games, photography, puppet shows, and a whole lot more for up to a couple of hours to give your little ones a party to remember. I must say that they did wrangle up all the kids and kept them entertained for a long time well at least they weren't jumping on me and I got a chance to eat some food. They gave a nice interactive show involving all the kids and kept them busy. A few tears came about when Elmo came out, always same reactions with Santa too. They watch them on TV and in the picture books but yet face to face with the characters they get scared....... I don't get it..... anyway my friends thought that they were great I thought that they put on a nice show for the children everybody was happy. They arrived on time did a great job and I don't think their prices were too high at all but they have different packages available so adjustments are made to suite the needs of the event. So good entertainment group for kids at least 2 and up they also adjust activities to medium age of the party goers and they even get the adults involve with the little games too so be ready to look crazy but it's all good.

Lia is incredible at what she does. We truly would not have been able to plan our wedding without…read moreher. She handled every detail and managed all vendor coordination. We hired her for "day of" services, but her work for us started about 2 months prior to our wedding. She was willing to meet with us as needed, answer any questions via text message and email, and any details we knew would need to be handled on the day of she simply put on her list and they were handled! She ran our wedding completely seamlessly and put everyone's mind at ease because we knew she was on top of everything. I don't know how she does it but we would have been lost without her. I can't recommend her highly enough.

I highly Paul for any of your DJ needs! We found him on Yelp and Weddingwire and asked if we could…read morewatch him DJ locally to see how he performs and he provided us details on the time and location. He has a very simple and efficient set up with lights and sound systems. What was really impressive for us were the music videos that he played that went with the music. Once we saw that and saw/heard his transitions we knew he was the DJ we wanted. We had an unusual theme for our wedding, we did a costume theme "Talk Nerdy to Me" and Paul was not only happy to work with us, but he also had some awesome ideas on how to truly make it our own. With the video screen package, he was able to do movie/you tube clips and a slide show. When it came to getting strange and unusual music, Paul was able to do it with no issues. We asked for quite a few songs that were not in his database including traditional Chinese and Estonian Country music and he was able to get it with no issues. His online planning system made it really easy for us to put our Ceremony and Reception plan together. All of my guests LOVED the music choices. Part of it was our doing in putting together a song list, and part of it was Paul reading the party and playing accordingly. He even accommodated my niece's request for the Hokie Pokie. Don't take my word for it, Weddings are not the gigs he does in the DC area. Watch him in action and see for yourself. I feel that if other businesses book him on a regular basis, he is probably a good choice for your wedding. I am really glad I acted on this assumption, and had a chance to work with Paul. He has my highest recommendations.

Paul Garza DJed our wedding last Friday and did an amazing job. First of all, we only hired Paul…read moreabout a month beforehand because up until then, we thought my husband's friend would be able to DJ for us. At the last minute, he wasn't going to be able to get his equipment out to us in time so I found Paul and reached out to him. Paul told me he was available and met with us in person. He was reasonably priced and we couldn't have lucked out better for a last minute booking. Even though our friend couldn't DJ, Paul let him do all of the introductions which was really sweet. He even let our friend take the reigns and do a couple songs! Paul never felt like our friend was stepping on his toes and we really appreciated that he let us do that. Paul kept the party going from the beginning. I've had so many people since the end of our wedding telling me how great our DJ was. We had a weird mix of twenty somethings and sixty somethings with not much in between. Even still, Paul was able to judge the crowd and keep people dancing. I don't think there was a second all night long that people weren't all over the dance floor! His online portal is very straight forward and easy to use. I was able to put in many details and everything we wanted to hear was played at our wedding. Paul is also not one of those DJs that keeps interrupting songs to talk. He knew when it was appropriate to interject and when it wasn't. My husband commented that this was one of his favorite things about Paul: his professionalism on and off the dance floor. Definitely consider Paul Surreal Entertainment for your next event - you won't regret it!
