Very fun place to bring kids ( I would say 10 and under) for a play-date or birthday party!…read more They have an area that has bouncy houses and toys for children that range from baby age to around 10 or so years old. We were here for a little over an hour and the kids had so much fun. They also have a large room to host parties in. The staff that work here are very nice and always around.

They have a limit on how many families they let in at once which I appreciated. A friend came to meet us and he was 'waitlisted' but it only lasted about 5-10 minutes and he was able to come in. You can enter with your stroller and stay on the gray carpet or use one of theirs which is allowed anywhere in the room. They even had exercise bikes set up for parents to use. They don't work but it's something to do! They also have WiFi. Overall, fun place for kids! I would suggest they put sanitizer pumps all over though. They make every kid sanitize on the way in but there aren't any inside that I saw. Also, I wish there was a Starbucks in this plaza!

I contacted this lady from Alankar wedding decorator for my wedding decoration. Please stay away…read morefrom her. She is the worst vendor I have ever met, she lies that she can do any kind of design. First conversation she would make is, ask for her competitors quote and says I can give you lower price than them. She never suggest any new design or make any effort to show on new designs all she wants is about her competitors picture and quote so pathetic. She has no creativity all she does is just copies her competitors and tell she does it for less. When I asked her lot of questions about her style design, and if she is confident on doing new designs she got lost and started saying you are fake, you are a cheap client, you have no budget and she started barging me with lies. She even said I'm accusing her and playing dirty games she said I know who you are. Oh god it was non stop just stay away from this lady. My parents looked at her texts and were very upset, they called her immediately, no one picked up and voicemail was full. I had to block her. She has lost her mind. We decided to go with other decorator. It's unfortunately I contacted her Below in her comments clearly shows that she is lying. I have no time for her nonsense and she is a big liar. She has nothing new to offer just asks for her competitors quotes and copies them

Shobha Shastry is amazing. She runs and IS Alankar, and is completely, your safety net…read more She ran my wedding in July, she did all of the decor, she gave me contacts, she gave advice to the white Irish girl whose in-laws live in San Diego, while we planned the wedding in Massachusetts. Sometimes she's a little hard to get a hold of/to get to call you back, however she ALWAYS comes through in the clutch. She is a very busy lady, and has at least 1 wedding every weekend, but when it comes to the date of your event, you feel like you are the only one. I don't know what I would have done without this woman, I shudder at the thought. I can't thank Shobha enough for all of her help, her calm demeanor, and her keeping me sane.

We had our concerns about the limitations of a home wedding, which Soraya easily put to rest. Soraya was incredibly accommodating, a true expert, and such a delight to work with.

We have such fond memories interacting with different members of Soraya's team throughout the day. Our wedding went effortlessly and stress-free thanks to their incredible work.

The food is amazing and decorations are wonderful. We've had about 70-90 guests each time. We've had a 60's theme, a Gilligan's island theme and winter wonderland theme.

You can't go wrong!

From start to finish, Gigi and her team were absolute professionals--friendly, efficient, and deeply committed to making our event a seamless success. A huge thank you to Vanessa, Kelly, and Cindy, who were truly phenomenal. They handled every detail with care and precision, allowing me (and our guests!) to actually enjoy the party without stress. I received so many compliments from attendees about how helpful, attentive, and kind the staff was. Whether it was food prep, setup, cleanup, or guest assistance, they jumped in wherever needed--often solving issues before I even noticed them. This is event staffing at its best--a team that's not only highly capable but also genuinely enthusiastic and easy to work with. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to book Extra Hands for Your Events again, and I absolutely recommend them to anyone planning a party, wedding, corporate gathering, or private event. Gigi, you and your team are rock stars. Thank you!

You also interact when the the walls and images on the walls to interact with the environment. There are about a dozen or so different games to select, including Squid Game (season 1), Bat Man, Angry Birds, Temple Squid, the Fire is Lava, Party Box and more. Each game can be played for 30 minutes to an hour. It's $25 for 30 minutes and $35 for an hour. We tried the Party Box one where we played mini games against each other, kinda like Mario Party. Then we did the AI Escape Room was very pretty fun. You can buy drinks there if you want. There are 6 rooms available. The bathrooms are in the back and very clean. Overall, this was a fun unique experience that I would recommend for families with kids or couples for dates!

You wear these silly-looking helmets that tracks your movements (which end up being part of the fun). The new Mini Game Box Party was a blast--super competitive, quick to pick up, and great for almost all ages. We had 2 teenagers and 4 adults where we had the most unforgettable experience together. They also offer the infamous Squid Game experience, which is more challenging and features fewer games, but they're true to the originals from the show. While fun, I definitely preferred the Box Party for the variety and fast-paced energy. Games range from two 30 or one 60 minutes. It is a bit pricey at $35 per player for an hour, but the $100-per-box holiday deal is a much better value for up to 6 players. Overall, a really entertaining group activity inside the Natick Mall amongst other entertainment such as Level 99 and Dave & Busters.
