This is the most unprofessional sound company. They have no business doing sound for a big festival. Maybe a backyard party would be ok

There was a main worker, I believe she was a manager that was terrible and made our whole experience unenjoyable. I didn't catch her name but she has brown hair and two different colored eyes. My child was by me the entire time and did not do anything that was poor mannered. Her attitude was pompous and demeaning towards customers. For being in a customer facing role, she had an attitude and shouldn't have been in her position. We decided to take our business to Spirt because I will not support any business that treats people like that.

Great prices. I do recommend getting complete outfits online, as the ones here are really expensive. I mostly came here for the experience and accessories. It is really hard to find an employee on the floor, though, most of them are usually at the cash register. Also, it was really hard to try to call about information, because there's no direct line to speak to somebody live. You kind of just have to go there.

This year, there's one on Clayton Road, taking over what would otherwise be an empty building. As soon as I walked into the store, I was greeted by an impressive display of decorations -- especially the centerpiece right in the middle of the store: a haunted train car surrounded by tall, spooky figures. The store itself was a bit messy, with some costumes messily scattered on the floor, and I wished the staff could tidy up a bit more. Still, I understand they're probably busy with all the last-minute Halloween shoppers. Overall, it was a fun and festive experience visiting the store.

I get not allowing teenagers to bring in back packs or not allowing people to bring in big bags, but I had a small diaper bag that I need for my baby at all times and that should be allowed.

She took as much time with us as we needed, answered every question, and never made us feel rushed. The selection was excellent, and she helped my wife find a wig that looked and felt like her. We ultimately purchased a high-quality, heat-friendly synthetic wig with a 100% hand-tied cap, monofilament top, and extended lace front for $680. Afterward, I cross-checked the exact model number online and found that the price was essentially the same as ordering it on the internet once shipping was included--but buying locally came with the huge advantage of her expertise, fitting, styling advice, and outstanding customer service. If you're shopping for a wig, especially because of chemotherapy, I highly recommend coming here.

She parked farther and walked in on purpose so the kids wouldn't think she drove here which was a nice detail. She did story time and sang , magic tricks, a bunch of fun kid group games/activities with music on portable music device which she had technical difficulty which is understandable and perfectly fine so we helped with spotify on our cell phones. Please be on standby host parents to help carry character's belongings. For host parent, consider charging up your own Bluetooth music speaker to have ready as backup. We had food and games and she was so helpful too with gathering kids and singing happy birthday. She provided a tiara and special bracelet for the birthday girl which was perfect. All the kids and parents were so amazed and enchanted with the whole experience that parents sat and enjoyed and also filmed the experience. We had face painting and she had time for guests to take some pictures too. we loved how we could have a Disney princess come to our home. There's a small travel fee of course since we are outside of the normal area. Would highly recommend while your kids are young and still into characters. Ariel stayed in character and price point was good too. Thank you Cinderella company for helping our daughter's dreams come true.
