She responded to my questions quickly and was always willing to adjust our invoices or provide recommendations. They are also the most affordable company I've found in the DC area. On site, the catering team went above and beyond to ensure our events went seamlessly. I have never had guests compliment the staff and the menu as much as they did with St. Germain! As the event coordinator, I appreciated that Ceecho, Donal, and Johnny checked in with me throughout the event, quickly adjusted to the schedule changes, and were efficient and helpful throughout the set up and tear down process. I highly recommend Saint Germain for our next catered function in DC! We will be a repeat customer for sure!

From start to finish, everything was handled with professionalism, attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to making the night special. The food was absolutely outstanding--beautifully presented and full of flavor. Multiple guests went out of their way to comment on how delicious everything was, and several even asked for the caterer's name afterward. It really elevated the entire event. What truly stood out, though, was the service. The servers were exceptional--friendly, attentive, and incredibly efficient. They made sure guests were taken care of without ever being intrusive, and their positive energy added to the overall atmosphere of the party. Shout out to Mauricio and Wilberth!!! Great job guys. Saint Germain Catering played a huge role in making the evening a success, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to host a memorable event. We'll definitely be using them again in the future. -Mike

Rachel was absolutely fantastic to work with - very organized leading up to the event and incredibly helpful the weekend and day of the wedding.

Working with Rachel was so easy, straight-forward, and informative; I can't imagine how we would have done it without her. Not only did Rachel contact real estate agents and attend open houses, but she drove around the neighborhood and gave us information about all of the surrounding area. Finding a house is a very time-sensitive task and Rachel was quick to provide essential information so we could make a decision. With Rachel's attentive and professional services Sidekick For Hire helped ease the stress of a cross-country move.

The staff was incredibly nice, organized, and patient with everyone. I had the sampler platter and it was delicious -- and they made sure food came out in a timely manner. There's plenty of space, so you don't feel cramped, and parking is easy with garage and street options available. Overall, such a fun night out. I'll definitely be back and would recommend it!

This was such a fun experience! I love that they guide you through creating certain paintings, and…read morethere are so many options to choose from! I had not painted for many years and wanted to get creative again. Art is therapeutic. If you are bored of the same old thing, try this! The set up was well organized. They have everything you need there. They even sell hot food and drinks. There are alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and light bites. A lot of the food seemed baked and not fried (if it matters to you). The painting instructor was great. My painting turned out better than I thought it would be. This would be a great experience for groups, team building, birthdays, public and private events, and just as a general social mixer. I did not know anyone there but got to know people sitting at my table. The staff even takes care of the clean up! I went away feeling more motivated to get back into the arts.

David was very customer focused and on point with suggestions to help us get the most out of our celebration. I appreciate his attention to detail in walking through the set-up with us the day prior to the event. The food was tasty, well-prepared, and accommodated some dietary requests. Maria came to set up (nice presentation!) and help everyone fill their plates. She was friendly, professional and very efficient. Cleaning up was accomplished in a blink of an eye. We highly recommend Simply Elegant and look forward to having them cater many future events for us.

My Gym Vienna has given our children so much joy, confidence, and love over the last few years. We…read morehave had our children enrolled from infant class up through preschool gymnastics and My Gym Vienna is consistently a happy place for them, a weekly activity that they look forward to and count down for! The creativity of the teachers in the lessons and activities is astounding and we are impressed weekly with the new ways they are getting our kids to move. Our children are eager to climb, jump, tumble, and explore, and we know that confidence in physical movement and ability is attributable to the positive experiences and reinforcements they have had at My Gym Vienna. At My Gym, they learn what they are capable of and it is so great as a parent to see them translate not only these skills but that newfound confidence into other areas of their lives. My Gym teachers meet the kids where they are at, appropriately testing their limits whilst more importantly reminding the kids they are "brave" and celebrating them with "we did its!", never too busy to stop to hug or high five a child. The teachers are caring and Ms Angela, the Director, truly puts her heart into every lesson and every child. She knows every kid AND parents' by name and you get the sense that you are part of a family and community, not just a class. When my one child had a minor injury at the center, Ms Angela went above and beyond to provide professional care and also check in how she was doing, even days after the event transpired. At My Gym Vienna, we can trust our children are well cared for and loved by their teachers. Our kids can tumble and play anywhere. They have their whole lives to be athletes (or even gymnasts if thats what they want!). But as a parent, the reason we keep coming back to My Gym Vienna is because getting these lifelong values of joy in movement and self-confidence instilled in them, as well as consistent love from trusting role models, that is truly special and what I am most thankful to My Gym Vienna for. 100/10 recommend! We love My Gym Vienna !

Not only can I choose the color, but I can finesse the color to the shade of that color. It's not just red or blue or green. That makes a world of difference! The color wheel on the remote control is fabulous! If I want, I can make it a specific tone of aqua by just scrolling around with my fingertip. I usually use a candle light Amber soft golden color. Other units like American DJ, etc. are just the color but not the shade of the color. Brian always ships them on time and it comes with a return label and after my party, the next day, I just drop them off at the nearest UPS. Easy! They come pre-charged and there's a charger just in case. This company is wonderful and I've known them for some years and I highly recommend them. They're the best! Thank you, Brian!

When I found Superlative Events, I never looked back. He ships them to me and they're always on time and come with a return label. The price is affordable. I can adjust the lighting to any shade of any color unlike other up lights that are either one color or another. There is a color wheel on the remote that you can finesse the shade of the color. And then with a couple of taps of the remote, then you can make them into dance floor lighting. They are superb and Brian is fabulous to work with and a very nice man. I highly recommend this company. I have been using them for numerous years now. I do events every weekend and so I have a lot of opportunity to work with these lights and I'm always receiving compliments at how wonderful the room looks and the dance floor after dinner dancing looks!
