This review is for Granny's Christmas Tree Lot by Perfect Event Rentals…read more Conveniently located on Great Neck Rd. right next to Church of the Holy Family, Granny's Christmas Tree Lot is THE spot to get your Christmas tree. We've now purchased our Christmas tree from them for the past few years in a row, after previously purchasing from another well-known lot nearby. They have the healthiest, best looking trees I've ever seen, and the best prices to boot. Their set-up is so organized that it made finding our perfect Christmas tree super easy. We especially appreciated the walkways which they have in place so that we weren't traipsing through the mud and dirt. A staff member was readily available to pull any tree out for us to examine on all sides, and they're all so pleasant! They have trees of all sizes, though tending more toward the kind of lush trees which you simply cannot get at Lowe's or Home Depot or the like. We were very impressed with their prices--we have 10 foot ceilings, so appropriately-sized trees can get quite pricey. The tree we chose will more than fill its corner, and that size usually runs about $150+. We paid only $108 for it at Granny's. So, not only are you getting the best trees, but you're also getting the best prices! They had our tree trimmed up and loaded onto our car in no time. We also purchased a bottle of Prolong, a water additive for your Christmas tree which truly works to prolong the tree's life (we buy it every year), as well as an extended thing to actually water the tree more easily. Don't forget the little pine reindeer! All in all: A+++ and would highly recommend

When my husband and I decided we wanted to host his Navy shipmates for Thanksgiving dinner, I knew…read moreI needed to rent some chairs and a table or they would be eating on the floor. This facility was one of the first to come us when I searched and after a brief email exchange, I was set up with my 8' table and 15 nice folding chairs. The pick up time was flexible, which was great since I never know the ships schedule. Having to go and get the rentals and bring them back was a little inconvenient, as we don't own a truck and had to get a shipmate to transport for us, but the great service we got and the flexible time frame we were given to return our rentals without being charged extra fees more than made up for it. The awesome price for the total rental was a perk too. Knowing I can count on Perfect Event Rental means I can plan more great gatherings with the people we love.

I can't recommend Meghan and her company Farrever After Events enough!! Meghan was our day-of…read morecoordinator (and behind the scenes officiant) and was such a pleasure to work with. Leading up to the event, we were blown away by her responsiveness and all of the great tips and advice she shared. Several of our other vendors came from her list of recommendations--we're from out of state so this was BIG and definitely contributed to how perfectly our day turned out. Her planning docs were also super helpful in making sure we didn't forget anything along the way. On the day of, we didn't worry about a thing because Meghan was behind the scenes taking care of all the details big and small, which meant we could really be present and enjoy the day. Aside from being a great vendor, Meghan is also just a great human being to work with, and I'm so appreciative of her calm way of being and thoughtfulness on such a crazy, beautiful day.

Karen was absolutely wonderful to work with.

Her website is easy to use and understand and she offers a range of packages to suite your individual needs and budget. We had a zoom call with her just before our wedding to work out all the details and I even added a poem a few days out and she easily accommodated all our wants and changes. On the day of, she was right on time (early in fact) and looked wonderful and professional for our easygoing beach ceremony. My parents got lost and couldn't find parking and she wasn't worried at all. She's personable and kind, has an easy demeanor and makes you feel at home when you meet her, and, when the ceremony came, she was 100% professional and excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant. 1000% happy with her help and services.

On New Year's Eve we had a party at our home in Sandbridge, and Sandbridge Events (Summer Lane and…read moreGin) managed the affair. They were extremely professional, highly efficient and made each guest feel special. This was their first party at our home, and we were delighted how quickly they were able to populate and manage four food stations and two bars.

I live in CA but got married in Sandbridge so it was nice to have a local who knew the area. Prepping for the wedding, Summer was in contact with me to make sure we were on the same page of how I wanted my wedding day to go. She also stopped by the day before the wedding to go through everything in person. On the day of my wedding I had the most stress free day ever thanks to her and her awesome team! They worked super hard to make sure everything ran smoothly and if anything went wrong I had no idea - just the way it should be! If you are looking for a hands on coordinator or day of planner I would recommend Summer, hands down :)

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!

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!
