    Hiring Colleen/CCS Events for full-service wedding planning was the best decision we made related…read moreto our wedding! When interviewing planners, we selected Colleen because of her expertise and experience working with our church and unique reception venue. We would have been completely lost without her. She made planning our wedding an enjoyable experience rather than a stressful one. Colleen quickly nailed our vision for our wedding and worked tirelessly to make sure everything was just perfect. She connected us with fabulous vendors and even secured us discounts! She kept us on schedule throughout the planning process and probably did so many more things behind-the-scenes that we did not even realize. As a "type A" couple, we appreciated Colleen's attention to detail and honest recommendations throughout the planning process. We would have never been able to pull off such an amazing day without Colleen and her team. We (and our parents) were able to enjoy our wedding day without having to worry about coordinating a single thing! If you are considering hiring a wedding planner, we highly recommend Colleen and CCS Events. Colleen is kind, honest, professional, and gets the job done!

There's a reason that she is listed as number one wedding planner and day of event coordinator in Richmond magazine and Virginia living magazine. She is reasonable in cost and seriously takes care of every single detail you could imagine. You just tell her what you want and she takes care of it.

    Our second visit wasn't as great as our first. I'd like this place to succeed because it's…read moredifferent and fun but I think the price point is prob too high given the inconsistency of the experience. The first time we came it was on time and we loved the Dragon Tower escape room: it was the perfect mix of puzzle and action. This time we showed up 10 minutes early and they said they were running 5-10 minutes behind because of "cleaning issues". Well it turned into 20 minutes late so thankfully we already canceled our dinner reservations. I think it would've been fine if it wasn't $250 for a family of five for 38 minutes and the ninja trials escape room was not as exciting or interesting as dragon tower. Also one of the equipment pieces we were given was faulty so that made it less fun for one of us.

    Pelagos VR is a fantastic addition to the area for unique entertainment, and there are so many…read moreoptions within it! Just as a quick rundown, there are three main types of VR here: the front area where you are strapped into a VR system and can run in place, a virtual escape room, and a VR action arena (large room with VR cameras on the walls and you can physically run around). I haven't tried the escape room and I liked the strap-in ones, though it's the VR arena that really elevates this place. So far I have done Patient Zero and several rounds of the Urban Assault in the arena, and it's an amazing experience. Between the excellent physical tracking, the true-recoil VR guns, and the actual movement in the real world mapping to the VR world, it is insanely immersive and easy to adapt to. It is quite exciting too: I was fortunate enough to participate in their latest tournament and it was chaotic fun from start to finish. The tournaments are a special treat because for now the entry fee is only $20 while the regular experiences run a fair bit more, so it's an insanely good deal for the amount of fun you're having. On top of the excellent experiences, I would be remiss if I didn't highlight their incredible staff. This is mostly a family-run place and it shows with how kind and personable everyone here is, with positive attitudes, a true love for what they do, and excellent mastery of VR tech and training new players. I have met the owner twice and he goes out of his way to make everyone feel welcome and appreciated for their visits. The most underrated part here is actually nothing to do with VR but actually their bar offerings: the happy hour here is every day of the week (including weekends) and you can get $4 beers (including a few local drafts) and very reasonably priced appetizers. If I were in the area and just wanted a quick beer with a friend before doing something else, I would absolutely come here for it at those fantastic prices. Since Pelagos VR is attached to the mall, there is plenty of lot parking very close by, so no issues there. Really the only drawback of this place is the price, particularly if you come by yourself or one other person as their price structure rewards larger groups. I would absolutely come here with a friend group because of that though a date night here would add up fast. I look forward to coming here again with friends, especially for the tournaments. This is one heck of an outing to look forward to! Overall: 5.0 stars ---- Pros: - Amazing and unique VR experiences, truly memorable in every way. - Multiple options, including stationary running, open arena, or escape room. - Fantastic staff who are kind, knowledgeable, and clearly happy to be there. - Excellent happy hour food deals, worth trying even without the VR. - Easy parking and access since attached to the mall. - Pricing for large groups and the tournaments are great... Cons: - ...though the cost for a small group (especially for only one or two people) is a bit prohibitive unless you have deep pockets. Their pricing is entirely reasonable given what you get for it, though this is really the only thing that keeps me from going every week. Maybe one day they'll have a membership or a punchcard pass option!

    I've used prop shop numerous times for other weddings and events and had decent success. However…read morethis past weekend for my wedding, there were many issues. 1. We ordered many ivory table clothes, when we got to the venue and started opening table clothes they were all slightly different colors, we had pink, grey, ivory and white... not matching. It was bad enough we stopped setting up midday to go demand an exchange. When we demanded it, they did swap our for actual ivory matching table clothes. Imagine that. 2. We ordered 200 maroon cloth napkins, we ended up with 2 different colors napkins very noticeable. We had to arrange one set of tables with bright color and the other half with dark. It was not ideal. The napkins were also very worn, they showed signs of tears, burn marks, and just wear and tear. All in all I was sorely disappointed in the quality of the items rented and the customer service. They really need to get new rental materials and up their game. I will not be a repeat customer anymore.... nor will I refer all of my future wedding clients to their shop.

Their prices are fair and they have everything you'll ever need. 6 ft tables, cocktail tables, chairs, bar stools, tents... everything! Paying extra for delivery is super convenient. They showed up to my big event in August right on time and even helped me set the tables up. The next day, they came and picked the rentals up without me even having to be there. Score! You have an event or party coming up? Look no further than The Prop Shop!
