Verified Review Jacqueline S. * November 26, 2023…read moreDisappointing service I was unable to be there during the presentation but I asked the folks present for their assessment, so here it is. Ron's impersonation of Elvis was poor and his singing was terrible. The poem was cute but not sung. Overall the experience was not enjoyable and definitely not worth the $156!!!! This was an embarrassing experience for me. I will NEVER use this company again nor will I recommend to anyone else.

Emily had the best and most creative ideas with decoration, dessert and drink concepts that fit my brand perfectly. She also helped spread the word about the launch party and we had such a great turn out. Along with Emily being super talented and highly organized, she is one of the sweetest and kindest women I've ever met. She made the event planning process on my end a breeze and very fun. I would highly recommend Emily as an event and wedding planner for any of my brides and friends. I also can't wait for her to plan my very own wedding when the time comes!

From the time I initially contacted Dawn in November 2022, until the actual party in May 2023 - Dawn was beyond accommodating, responsive and was a true partner with me as the host of the party!

All of the table games were fun, and the equipment in general was in great condition and gave the party a real casino feel. Given the opportunity, I would absolutely book Elite again!

The idea of bringing the bar home sounded good, and I found Steven's website for mixology classes at home. It was definitely within our price range, and I worked with Steven to customize the drinks for the bride's favorite liquors (whiskey and scotch) that also worked with our art deco glamour, Gatsby-esque party theme. Steven was teaching a class, so his business partner Randi arrived right on time to do the set-up at our location, and she was just so sweet. I had a nice time getting to know her before the party started. Steven arrived a bit later, but was just there to observe; Randi was great at teaching! None of us had ever done any *real* bartending or mixologying (I think I just verbified a verb that was previously nounified...*grammatical mind blown*), and Randi was great at helping us learn the ropes. She also introduced all of the drinks really well, teaching us the basics of what makes a drink a cocktail, and the basic structure for how to experiment on our own (I found that part particularly exciting, and have even made a cocktail or two at home already!) I think the resounding favorite from the group was the French 75 - it was so good! Even our group's pickiest eater/drinker enjoyed her drinks, which is saying something! I would highly recommend Steven's business to anyone looking to do a home party! Very affordable, customizable, and just a ton of fun. It was especially fun with a room full of lightweights!

Not only does Steven give a brief history of the liquor or cocktail you would be working with, but you get to experiment (and try) both classic and modern versions of all of your favorite cocktails. Previously, the classes were centered on a specific liquor, but currently the classes are based on a theme- which is an even better idea :) Bring your creativity and your drinking shoes and get ready to have a fabulous time :)
