We just had our son's 6th birthday party here on Saturday, 14 July 2012. I cannot praise this venue highly enough. Blow by blow description:
* Initial phone contact was excellent and efficient, everything well explained and deposit taken.
* Confirmation documents arrived a couple of days later with party invites enclosed, voucher for discount and extra food menu if required.
* On day of party, friendly, welcoming staff and party room beautifully set up. The room size was excellent.
* Two delightful party hosts who kept the kids entertained.
* Parents who wanted to stay sat in the parents' area at the back (which is conveniently located near the separate male/female toilet so you can see where your kid is going if they run out the room).
* Complementary tea, coffee and water on a self-serve basis for parents.
* Any siblings who came who were too young to play with the teeny bits of Lego were given Duplo to keep them amused.
* The party went beautifully and all the parents remarked how it was so quiet, how the kids were so entertained and nobody was bored.
* We forgot our candles (parents of the year!) and the manager quickly organised either number 6 or six candles without the slightest hesitation.
* They were right when they told me not to bother bringing extra food: the kids were too busy having fun to eat much. But they kids were happy with the food provided (lollies, chips, cordial and water).
* I brought my own cake (but you can get one through Laygo if you want) and they supplied all the plates, etc.
* Party bags are also included and although I brought my own (just in case, sometimes party venues are hit and miss with party bags), the kids seemed delighted with Laygo's party bags and were surprised to be given the extra from us.
All in all, everyone agreed this was one of the best and most smoothly run parties they'd ever been to.
The joy of it all is we left with everyone else. No mess, no fuss.
As for price, well all up for 11 kids it cost around $260. We thought this was fabulous with what Laygo gave us (especially since it would have cost us half of that to get our carpets cleaned if we'd had it at home!)
As for Jamie? He was over the moon and that, as we all know, is what Happy Birthday is all about.
These guys at Laygo are doing it right! Great stuff. read more
