Ashley was able to see my vision and also suggested additional creative ideas to help make them amazing. She has a creative eye that can work with any budget! Ashley also pays attention to 'little' details and ensures nothing is missed--many items of which I would not have thought twice about! Numerous times I would ask for my catering estimates/details or different photographer estimates and she was able to email them to me in a short period of time. She keeps everything in a binder and/or computer and everything you need is at her fingertips! Organization is definitely one of her greatest strengths! I feel this is a skill needed for smooth wedding planning because, let's face it, wedding planning is stressful! She also has a timeline in order to ensure things are done promptly, and she gave me small 'chunks' of tasks to accomplish so that the planning on my part was not overwhelming. Ashley is dedicated to making your wedding the most amazing stress free day of your life! I would recommend Soirees by Lauren to ANY bride!

As you can see from the photos, she is beautiful. The sick back tattoo takes her look over the top in the best way. You can tell that she is very passionate about performing and entertaining your guests! From working with her behind the scenes, I can tell you that she is super professional and amazing to work with. She is very communicative throughout the whole process. We texted back and forth from the time I hired her up until the day of the event. She let me know that she needed a place to get dressed and a strong man to carry her to the pool once she got her fin on AKA "masnportation" ;). After she made her grand entrance, she was working the crowd for the full two hours. Perching up on the side of the pool to pose for photos between bouts of swimming around and doing tricks in the water. If you thought that mermaids only appeal to kids, you were wrong! While she would be lovely to have at a children's birthday party, she is also great for adults as well. Mermaid Ariana also does many other forms of entertaining, from fire breathing to aerial. I do not hesitate to recommend her to anyone!

O.M.G. After our event, I asked every guest to name just ONE thing they remember from our special…read moreday. Nearly everyone stated something from Nicole's team. The mermaid, the stilt walking, the aerial displays, the party pumpers. We honestly feel she is underpriced because she is...Just. That. Amazing. Without Nicole and her team, we would have had just another boring wedding. Nicole put herself everywhere, even helping transition events so other vendors had time. I have never met someone so full of resources, so talented, and so very passionate about making the customer happy. She is also extremely transparent, often informing us far in advance if she foresees a change or a price difference. Anyone who goes out of their way to create custom outfits for her team - just to match the colors on your special day - is a gem. I cannot WAIT to have the opportunity to invite Nicole back to one of our events!

I went to Pinot's Palette in Norfolk with my sister and nephew for a Wednesday night paint-and-sip…read moreclass, and we had such a good time! This was our first time here, although I've done quite a few paint-and-sip classes before. Our painting was a field of sunflowers, and I have to say, this was definitely one of the more technically challenging paintings I've done at one of these classes. That downward-facing sunflower was no joke , but it was still really fun and rewarding to see everything come together. Tracie led our class, and she and Star are the owners. They were both incredibly personable, welcoming, and helpful throughout the night. Star was working the bar and helping out around the studio, while Tracie walked us through the painting step by step. Our class was pretty small, only seven people total, which I actually enjoyed because it made the whole experience feel relaxed and personal. I also really liked the space itself. The studio is much bigger than I expected, and they even have a separate room in the back for glow-in-the-dark painting classes. They showed us how the paintings glow under the UV lights, and it was SO cool. I'd definitely come back to try one of those classes. They also mentioned that the studio had actually flooded just the week before our class, which made it even more impressive that they had everything back up and running so quickly. One of the sinks was still out of commission because of the flood, but it didn't interfere with the class or our experience at all. Overall, we had a really enjoyable night. The atmosphere was fun, the studio was spacious, the painting gave us a little bit of a challenge, and Tracy and Star made the experience even better with how friendly and helpful they were. I'll definitely be back, and next time I might have to try that glow-in-the-dark room!

I always enjoy time with my sister and son, and I really like doing things that remind me of my mom. As soon as we went in we were greeted right away, had IDs checked for those of us old enough to drink, and we were able to get seated. Before getting started, we had the option of going to the bar. They offer a nice variety of wine, seltzers, and non alcohol options. There are also snacks available for purchase. Our hosts for the night were Tracy and Star. The class was a small one of about 7. They provide everything you need! This painting required a little more skill than I am used to, but the instructor was kind and very patient. I didn't feel rushed at all, and had no issues with getting help as needed. We were all happy with how our paintings turned out! My son really enjoyed his first paint night and said it's something he would do again. I've been to a few paint nights in the area, and I really enjoyed my time at Pinot. I've been to others where it seemed a bit too serious. This was fun! I'd love to come back and do one of their backlight paintings they offer where you paint in the dark and your art glows! *For the best pricing, book directly on their website!

Charity event or not a business should deliver the same serviced as they would if it was a wedding in my opinion. However, when we first got set up in front of the mirror I asked the girl if we were close enough to it because some of the girls had to kneel in order for us all to fit in the picture.... She said she would get to us in a minute...once she was ready to take the picture she directed us to look at the mirror..we were trying to adjust ourselves on how to pose. I was disappointed once we got the pictures because those that kneeled were cut off...couldnt see my "it's 5 o'clock somewhere" sign... Not worth the $30 we paid!

The pony rides were well executed and the guy was so considerate and friendly. He answered lots of questions about the animals and was patient with the kids. He made sure the birthday boy got plenty of time with the animals and another pony ride before he packed up to go. I was pleasantly surprised that this surpassed my expectations.
