Decor is fun and sets the stage for that extra fun and welcome mat that balloons are well received. I do not live in the area and searched the internet for reputable bushiness who take pride in the delivery and their product. I located Kerry's party for less and called to speak with Kerry directly, her personality is contagious and uplifting with a happy tone with such sincere dedicated towards her business she certainly is passionate about. I ordered a number of balloons with great direction from Kerry's recommendations that were exceptional to meet my expectations. Kerry delivered the balloons herself to set the balloons up in the various areas we discussed adjusting them throughout the home in preparation for my daughters Shower. What amazing customer service and dedication I received. Thank you Kerri for your exceptional work and creations to add this amazing color and unique design to be part of this special day for my daughter's Baby Shower. A five plus star rating!! Exceptional quality and service with high recommendations!! If it was allowed to post a photo I would have loved to share your exceptional work and creation that was over the top! :-)

The sheer amount of preparation and planning involved is something that even the most Type A of personalities even drive themselves crazy with. We had an absolute pleasure working with Dianna Savelli and the rest of the Scottish Rite Club team for our wedding on October 2016. With my husband living in Toronto and myself in Chicago, Dianna made it easy for us to correspond with one another through email, Skype and phone conversations. It never felt like we were planning an entire wedding from a distance nor did it ever feel like we were taking too much on our plate. The structure of their wedding packages make everything so simple and easy that you simply just have to speak your dreams and it will come to life My husband, our families, our friends and I cannot stop raving about this day. Yes, nearly four months later and we cannot stop thinking about all the perfections that came to fruition and how we couldn't have done it without the help and guidance of Dianna and her staff. While I know Dianna has moved onto other ventures outside the Scottish Rite, the staff here has always been courteous and ready to go above and beyond their call of duty to make sure your day will be just right. Pricing? It is on par with a wedding of this caliber, you will pay money, but you will have the best day, the best food, the best wedding ceremony and reception you could every have imagined. Thank you so much for making our day something we will remember for a lifetime and beyond. We love you guys.

I paid $65 to attend a weeknight event that was a dinner followed by an accounting presentation…read more All tickets for the event had to be bought in advance so they knew exactly how many guests there would be. I arrived before the presentation started to find that the staff had closed the kitchen and thrown out the rest of the food. So if you are unfortunate enough to have to go to Scottish Rite, and can't come early, which is likely, because they also lied about there being any sort of available parking anywhere, which will leave you to circle the neighbourhood for half an hour before you can leave your car anywhere, skip going through the front door and just head out to the backyard dumpster to look for the dinner you paid for.

Getting dressed to the third wedding of the week is exhausting. I suppose the novelty of it all…read morewears off eventually. . Exhausted, I try and look half decent for this drive to H-town. Pulling up to the parking lot, this place is massive. Good size for the lot. Lots of room for parking. Walking in, this place is stunning. Very Romanesque. Pillars and angelic portraits on the walls, chandeliers - it is a breathe taking view. Super elegant, classic decor and runs throughout. Bathroom is spotless, all 5 stalls. There is staff everywhere. Greeting you right when you walk in until you walk out. A the front, an array of guest name tags are arranged per table number. Super organized. I like this. Right away, I was approached by a host and he directed me to by table. Inside, the decor was done by the brides sister in law, and boy was it ever gorgeous. Every girls dreams. Hot pink & black was the theme. Very well done too. The service is phenomenal. Each table has it's own waiter that remembers your name. He was so gracious, offering extra servings, food for everyone at the same time, remembering extra side sugars and desert/meat options etc. I had an amazing time. I highly recommend this venue for a small-medium sized wedding. It's intimate and coordinated very well by the staff. The bride is a high school friend of mine. Naturally everyone else I haven't seen from high school was there. This was such an unexpectedly wonderful surprise. You see, I was a hardcore - cereal anytime of the day - crib talking - break dancing - gap sweater wearing - baseball cap front bending - tom boy. At a venue with 100 tables MAX - you have no where to hide. - Forewarning for the "late bloomers" The bar is right outside of the hall (on either side of the doors) - obviously, the most popular spot of the evening. Open bar. I felt weird drinking Coors light out of a wine glass. They will not give the bottles out. The 3 beer options was Heine , corona & Coors light. - Boooya! The open bar and awesome DJ brought back some amazing high school memories. There was some dirty break dancing wars . I did not win. I blame boobs. Ugh. This is going to be a very hard wedding to top. Rest assured, if you book your wedding here, every minuted detail will be taken care of. The bride & groom could not have possibly been more stress free. xoxo M.

Recently had my wedding here and we really felt like we were treated like family!…read moreNot only did they communicate quickly and openly but also advised us along the way! The venue is very clean and comfortable, spacious as well, no cramped tables for us. The chairs are actually some of the best ones I've sat in, wedding wise! The in house decorating is beautiful and our guests commented on how lovely it looked. Lighting was perfect throughout our ceremony, dinner and dancing. The in house DJ is really good too! Basically it's like an all inclusive resort but wedding wise! We had very little stress and a party people were raving over. And the food! Wow! Everything came out warm and delicious, everyone had more than enough to eat! Nothing worse than leaving a wedding hungry. The midnight poutine and cookies were a huge plus, our guests cleaned out the poutine in minutes lol. Delicious food, and they accommodated different diets (pescatarian, vegetarian and gluten free) seamlessly. Drinks were always good too! I'm gonna send my love to the service team because they really work hard and always had a smile on! Great team! From start to finish you all made our wedding dreams come true and we will always recommend this place!

I ordered some matchboxes from Print Canada. Due to some initial problems logging into their…read morewebsite I called them and personally talked with a fellow named Gary and I actually upgraded my order with them. My big mistake was taking them at their word. I was personally told by them that the final proof was in black and white while my finished boxes would be in black and green. Lo and behold, when the finished product arrived they were in black and white. It tried to contact them multiple times via email and got no response. On my forth try I did hear from them only to have Gary tell me that they fulfilled the order as approved. My mistake, GET IT IN WRITING. I accepted his word that the final product would be the colors I requested so I approved the proofs based on that. I wish I had read all the other negative reviews of them prior to ordering. I will not repeat and definitely will not recommend .

Not impressed with your packing OR shipping methods. I needed 250 of these plates for Tuesday, so unless you can replace these before Oct24, I will be returning the entire order for a refund. Due to the belligerent unidentified "manager" that spoke to me this morning regarding this order, then accused me of "screaming" while he continued to be belligerent to me, I will be reporting this purchase and your company to the better business bureau as well as to Visa if this financial dispute is not resolved within 5 business days. Please advise how to: 1) Return the ENTIRE order, which the client WILL NOT be paying shipping to or from the destination for, due to your broken plates. 2) Return the 20 plates, should your "manager" decide that business etiquette trumps his terrible and sensitive attitude. I am certain that the "thousands" of order you ship a day thoroughly enjoy the "managers" approach- so best of luck in this industry. See attached for the pile of broken plates. If you prefer to see each individually, please do not hesitate to request. Hope you find a way to have a professional day
