My wife and I have been to many weddings with fun crowds, expecting a great time and fun dance, but…read morebad DJs left us disappointed. We decided to work with C'est La Vie after several friends told us about them, and how they had kept the dance floors packed all night long at other weddings. From day one with Komlan, he was amazing! With great rates, flexibility, and prompt communication, we had no worries about our DJ even while planning everything from across the country. As soon as the First Dances were over, Komlan and Bobby had the dance floor full the entire night! They exceeded our dreams of throwing the best party we could imagine, and many of our guests have told us the same.

Working with Martha was without a doubt the best decision we made during the wedding planning…read moreprocess. If you are looking for a day-of wedding coordinator in the Madison area, she's it! We planned our Madison wedding while living out of state, and Martha helped us make sure that every detail was attended to leading up to the wedding. When we arrived in Wisconsin, there was nothing left to do but enjoy time with family and friends. Martha arranged her schedule to meet us in person for coffee while I was home for a summer visit leading up to the wedding. She instantly put us at ease, asking thoughtful questions about our venue, special family members, and logistics of the ceremony. I thought I was fairly organized leading up to that point, but after our meeting I realized the benefits of working with a professional coordinator like Martha! Planning from afar was easy with her as she utilized Google docs for sharing purposes and emailed just to check in. It was evident throughout the entire process that Martha's kind hearted personality would make for a wonderful wedding day experience. She contacted all of our vendors in the weeks leading up to the wedding and attended our rehearsal the night before the wedding. Our family and friends loved Martha as much as we did! She used her creative and organized talents to put together a beautiful space at our venue, and took care of small details -- from thank you cards for our vendors, to making sure our cards were delivered to our hotel room after dinner. With Martha's help, our wedding was a day we'll never forget. We cannot recommend her enough! My only regret is not hiring Martha sooner!

We hired Martha Coughlin (of Bliss Coordinating) as our Day-Of-Coordinator for our wedding in July…read more2017 and still believe it was one of THE best decisions we made along the way in our wedding planning! We began looking for a Day-Of-Coordinator after realizing that some of our ideas which were unique, personal, and important to us also would require a lot of D.I.Y. last minute work and preparation leading up to our Big Day. Martha not only took on the jobs of setting up our ceremony and reception decor and facilitating the arrival and organization of our vendors, she also ensured that the day went off without a hitch, all while sticking to our timeline. Martha is extremely organized and well prepared, as well as genuine and thoughtful. Unlike other Day-Of-Coordinators we had previously spoken with and considered, Martha truly cared about what OUR vision of the day looked like and respected our style and what was most important to us, rather than trying to change it to follow more mainstream or traditional ideas (as other coordinators had). She took the time to tour the wedding venue and meet with us on multiple occasions prior to our wedding in order to ensure that she clearly understood how we wanted the day to look and feel, all while offering thought-provoking questions and ideas along the way. We truly cannot say enough positive things about Martha or our experience working with her. She is fun, creative, energetic, reliable, and helped us to create the beautiful and unique wedding day we had envisioned! Her services are extremely well-priced, however her work was worth it's weight in gold to us! Thank you for everything Martha - your professionalism and ingenuity are unparalleled and greatly appreciated!

Meh. CCTR provided…read morethe tables for my recent wedding reception. Their prices were unbeatable. Factoring delivery charges + afterhours surcharges (as the tables needed to be picked up between 11pm-midnight) they were HALF the price of the quote given by the 2 big names in party rentals in Madison. And while they delivered, set-up, and picked-up and took away the tables just as they should, the service between first contact and after delivery has been hellish. First, I was told an invoice had been sent and never got one. It took a few calls and emails to get a new one (I don't know if one had ever actually been sent). We paid by check, signing the invoice and contract and mailing it all back. No word after a week that they received the money (thankfully I did take note of the mailing date, check #, etc.). We learned from our venue that they could deliver 30 minutes earlier than we'd been first told. This was easy enough, I thought, and contacted Vikki (the co-owner) about it. Multiple calls and emails and until the day before the wedding I had no idea if they had this info. The day before the wedding we got a call from Brian (the other co-owner) about billing the charges to the reception venue. Eep! No! Not only should they not be billed, but the tables were already paid for! A month ago! He wasn't sure about that as "(his) wife does the books." I gave the venue a head's up about this. Sure enough, a few days after the reception, the venue got a bill. But thankfully they replied that a) it wasn't theirs and b) they understood I had paid it already. When I got this news, I immediately contacted Vikki, but it's been nearly 2 weeks and she hasn't replied or acknowledged my contact. So: did they provide a good service for a low price? Yes. Were they easy to contact? No. Would I recommend them to people? ONLY if they people drove over to McFarland to deal with Vikki in person. Because I feel that's likely the only way to keep anything straight with Capital City Tent Rental.

The owner and her staff were incredibly patient and helpful, walking us through the step by step process to ensure we felt confident with the projects we chose. I painted a large coffee mug for $28 (painting supplies, instruction, clear glaze, and firing included) and we were there for a couple hours, just chatting and painting. It was so fun and relaxing! (It actually cured my hangover.) You can also create your own clay pieces, have a painting party in their Party Room, take a class to learn to throw clay on the wheel (I think that's how you say it), or make glass art -and there are many beautiful examples to inspire you. As we drove home we chatted about how excited we are to see our fired pieces in a week as well as how much we look forward to doing it again!

Went here on a Saturday afternoon, and I was told it was an hour to hour and a half wait. That was fine with me. I spent an hour in the area and then I called to ask how much more time is left (not to be impatient, but to see what things I could do while waiting) and I was told it would be another 45 minutes. I started doing something else, and 10 minutes later, I was told it was my turn... that was really unfortunate. When I got there, the staff was super nice and helpful! However, I noticed that I wasn't given all the info other customers were getting. They were told about things like the tools to make textures and what not, but I didn't hear about it until halfway through I was done glazing. I wish there better communication. A great spot though for a calming indoor activity.

Our wedding venue space where the photo both was going to go was small and Ben was accommodating and said he'd make it work and he did.
