Ive been waiting to write this review because Theresa did such an awesome job taking care of my…read morepartner and I during our time in Alaska. She accommodated us and our dreams for a wintery elopement photoshoot. I contacted Theresa via email about eight weeks before our set date and she responded in 24 hours. From there we chatted about inspirations, venues, costs, and more as we were coming into Alaska from Hawaii with no prior knowledge. We eventually got to calling and texting on a first-name basis --Trust me when I say Theresa is so warm and inviting that I was incredibly comfortable discussing the intimate details of my ceremony. I trusted her wholeheartedly as my photographer and new-found friend. Arriving in Alaska and doing the shoots was a breeze! We followed Theresa's advice for backdrops, poses, and more! We got those candid, personal photos I've always dreamed of! I highly recommend using Theresa if you have any type of photoshoots coming up in the Anchorage area!

Her amazing eye for detail and design was easily apparent to all my guests, as she did not compromise on quality even when we had to pivot our ceremony indoors due to bad weather.

The quality of the flowers that Alina delivered for us was absolutely stunning and many, if not all, of our guests complimented the quality!

She was able to recommend great ideas for our flowers and decorations that I would have never thought of and worked within our budget. Our flowers turned out to be even more gorgeous than I could have imagined and the floating arch she created for the ceremony was truly a work of art!

Mike from NewCity Entertainment knocked it out of the park for us! He is way more than a DJ and is a very experienced event production company. He kept our wedding moving seamlessly, sounded great (but not overpowering) on the microphone, and played great jams that kept people moving. He was incredibly professional and didn't need much at all from us to make sure our wedding was a blast. I've already recommended him to multiple brides getting married soon. Don't even think twice about hiring Mike, hes the best in Alaska and we are so grateful we were lucky enough to work with him!

Mike was incredible. Without him I shudder at what our wedding might have been…read more He was able to wire sound into to two areas one for the ceremony and another for the reception. He had his control wireless so I was able to request a change in the music or timing no matter where he was in the building. He offered a lot of help where we wanted it; keeping the flow, wedding games and the such, and let us do our thing when we wanted for the ceremony. Played all the right music at the right time and kept the party going. His lighting was perfect and he was able to set up in our limited time frame at our venue. Hire New City Entertainment for your weeding or event. You will not be disappointed.

Capt David knew where to go- was fun, courteous and very helpful to everyone- novices and experienced fishermen/women! Our First Mate was Ashlyn- who is from Hawaii!

What a fun day we all had- all thanks to David and Ashlyn for such a successful day of fishing! Thanks to them we are taking lots of fish back to Georgia!

I live in Alaska and try to do yearly charters, but this was the worst fishing charter I have ever…read morebeen on! Captain Dave was not personable at all and the only time he talked to us he accused my boyfriend of marking his spots which he was only looking for the clam fishery place to show me as he went there as a kid. The only deck hand was a 16-year-old girl who was sweet but for the number of people that were fishing that day on such rough waters (it was awful weather), we really needed another person to help or a more experienced one. I had to do most of the rebating of my hooks, which again I can do but this scared me as I was not comfortable catching a swinging hook close to the size of my hand in the air as it bangs against the boat. Even the young girl kept commenting how on days like this they need more than one deckhand job as captain dave put her in charge of 5 people at the front of the boat and he took charge of a single-family in the back of the boat. We had stopped at 3 different locations with no one catching anything except the occasional flounder. As the trip was coming closer to the end (7th hour on the boat) Captain Dave approached me and my boyfriend and said, "you need to decide whether we move to another location or keep trying to fish here", he was clearly agitated and added in as I told him that I didn't know, "if I make the decision to move again (this would be move #4) and we don't catch anything people will be mad at him for always moving" I told him again that I didn't know again and he walked back inside and said that he will wait for a decision, the other family that was fishing helped me decide to move as that sounded like what captain dave wanted to do. As I went inside to get ready to move the other family that attended was a grandfather, father, and son trio who had hooked a fish as we were loading to go but they had to try and gavel it, he ended up losing the fish. Captain and deckhand were inside and I heard captain dave snicker and say "oh he should have waited for us" that family was left out there alone and had no way to call for help and later on the grandfather stated that he tried getting anyone's attention by waving his hands but no one noticed him. I am ok if I get a charter and don't catch anything but to have this kind of treatment and behavior was awful. the deckhand did state that fishing that day was bad but as we got off had to step over the large catch from another charter "crazy rays" which I do HIGHLY recommend. I also got more communication from that captain in just a few mins worth than I did from captain dave the whole trip and I got to see the HUGE amount of fish that he hauled in, it was impressive. I DO NOT recommend Alaska Good Time Charters but definitely book early to get into Crazy Rays charters, they cost a little more and fill up quickly but for a better experience and a higher chance of catching fish, I wouldn't do it any other way again. Don't waste your money with Alaska Good Time Charter!

I once called Andrew (the owner) and asked if there was any way he could deliver 500 filled up baloons to a funeral that we were doing a balloon release at the next day and with no hesitation, he agreed and his team showed up right on time with all of the balloons. The way he runs his business and team is amazing, as he's one of the most efficient people I've ever met. He has been in the business long enough that he can offer up suggestions on your event if you'd like, or he can find a way to do almost anything you need him to do. I would highly recommend using Special Events Alaska for any of your party planning needs. They have never failed us and make me look good, every time.

I brought in two large number balloons from two separate packages to have them filled with helium…read more While filling the first one, the employee told me it might be defective because there seemed to be a small leak, although she couldn't find where it was coming from. She made it sound like it should still hold up until the party later that day, so I left with it. Unfortunately, within just a few hours it was noticeably deflated and looked ridiculous--and the second balloon did the exact same thing. Since these were two completely separate balloons from separate packages, it seems pretty unlikely that both just happened to be defective. I spent about $25 just to have the two balloons filled with helium, only for both to lose their helium before the party. The huge, partially deflated numbers looked miserable in the party decorations, and it was especially disappointing for the birthday child. What bothered me most was that I wasn't offered any solution before leaving, even though it was already known that at least one of the balloons was leaking. I spent more than $45 in the store altogether that day and essentially wasted the money I paid for the helium. Very disappointing experience. Wish I had taken a photo of the miserable balloons but they went straight in the trash following the party ending. What a waste. I'll try Michael's next time for helium, probably cheaper there too. I also noticed how the employee helping me isn't very friendly. I've been in here a few times before over the years and never felt like this. I don't know if this woman is new, but she doesn't represent the company well for customer service.
