When the event did not have enough bartending staff, Teresa Barcy who is the owner of Professional Party Planner, recommended me for the job. When I agreed to take the job, I brought up concerns I had about the event with Teresa. She was able to assure me that she and her staff would support me in any way necessary. Her staff was knowledgeable, quick, and efficient from set up to tear down and made the busy night enjoyable and stress-free. I look forward to the opportunity to work with them again!

This company does not deliver the quality of product or service that they promote, and are…read moredifficult to get a hold of and communicate with. On top of that, employees are rude and condescending. Showtime Events/Michigan Events is not above insulting their customer to make themselves look better. We actually had an excellent experience with them during the sales process, but once the final check was cut (prior to the event), it was all downhill, and we did not receive what was in our contract or what was verbally communicated to us. Naturally there are two sides to every story, but at no time should a request for assistance with which a company disagrees be met with insults in place of actual dialogue or reasoning.

I kind of dig REO Town. It's not Old Town, but I like that's it's not trying to be either. It has…read moreits own vibe. Just a quick skip across I-496 from downtown Lansing, the shops, salons, and eateries offer a small town feel as there's just enough walkability/bike access. However, it has plenty of edgy eclectic charm to balance the adjacent park and garden spaces making it an attractive location for many festivals. The anchors of the area include GM's Grand River Assembly Plant. the Board of Water & Light that occupies a former train depot, and several visual and performing arts hubs. The area has seen good BBQ, coffee, craft beer, New American, breakfast, and pizza but longevity continues to be a challenge. Even this month's review, REO Town Clubhouse, has gone through a change over the last 24 months having just been Ellison's Brewing Co. which we reviewed in August of 2023. REO Town Clubhouse took over a massive footprint on S. Washington and benefits from the previous facility upgrade work turning the warehouse into a brewhouse. The transition to the Clubhouse has been nothing short of extraordinary with modern lighting, seating, and décor in abundance. Marketed as an Italian restaurant, pizza shop, event space, and pool hall, REO Town Clubhouse aims to have a lasting place in the area and serve as a new anchor for entertainment. Walking in and you will be immediately taken aback by the sheer vastness. To the left, you'll find the upstairs event space, which is spacious and lovely, as is the main dining room on the first floor. To the right sits the pool hall, which is also quite large offering sharks and beginners alike enough room to run the table. In the middle sits the pizza shop with its rounded stone hearth oven shrouded in beautiful teal tile. What's Uneven? The brunch menu is intriguing, offering many traditional American breakfast items and others with a more Italian flare. I arrived around 11 on a Sunday morning with my much better half and the littlest of my daughters, having seen the brunch service started at 9 AM on REO Town Clubhouse's own social media. We walked into a mostly empty restaurant and a service crew that seemed to be scrambling to find their sea legs as coffee had not yet been brewed and the waitstaff, while very pleasant, reminded me of a team that hadn't yet had their first cup of coffee yet either. The food was also fairly uneven. My Biscuits and Gravy ($15) was quite tasty. The gravy was creamy and savory with notes of black pepper and the biscuits were dense enough to stand up to the gravy but not sit too heavy afterwards. The golden fried potatoes were crispy, and the sausage patties were large and packed with sage flavor. My much better half enjoyed a Bloody Mary ($9) that had a Caprese skewer atop the glass. She also ordered the Sweet Crespelle Crepes ($15) that looked better than they tasted. The lemon curd overpowered the palette, and the Sugar Cured Ham ($4) is an absolute waste of protein and money. Limp and lifeless with not a single hint of sugar to be found nor a streak of a sear on the meat itself. What's Better I met a mentor/friend/colleague for lunch and had a much better experience. We both ordered the Lunch Pasta Combo. The Caesar salads were fresh and plentiful, especially to be part of lunch combos. I had the Spaghetti and Meatballs ($14) and though the crushed tomatoes will never be my favorite, the meatballs were large and packed with layers of garlic, herbs, and parmesan cheese. The pasta was a bit overcooked, but the dish overall was solid. My companion ordered the Chicken Alfredo ($16) and said it was one of the best she'd ever had. Thick and creamy alfredo sauce was a yummy revelation. The chicken was more well done than I typically care for but spot on for her. She wanted me to be sure to relay that she would return at least 17 times. Best Bite The Fried Shrimp ($16) with a Calabrian pepper sauce were very good. The breading on the shrimp had been fried hard enough to withstand the oil and butter-based bath in which they rested. The sauce was tasty and perfectly spicy for lunch.

My daughter is having her official wedding this coming Aug 4, 2018. Weddings by Nicole was…read morereferred to us by the venue along with a long list of other wedding planner/decorators, but we ended up wanting to just go with the referral. My daughter reached out to her on and scheduled what she thought would be her first appointment to secure her services for her event, her appointment was cancelled due to the heater at her facility not working this happened about 7 more times with various cancellation excuses that ranged from health problems with her husband and father, out of town, left phone at another venue and so on, this happened from April 4 all the way to the beginning of June 2018. After every cancellation, my daughter tried to reach out to reschedule just to be met with either lack of response or yet another cancellation. I would have thought that she had staff that wold be able to assit in the event of emergencies like this but I guess not. The young couple then decided that they were not going to use her but I the mother said to give her another chance which they did. I took over and began to communicate with the owner and through our first email conversation, she said she was glad to be dealing with me because my daughter was young and she (my daughter) was the reason why none of the appointments had worked in the past (which my daughter has all of the text communication messages saved from them both)? This left a bad taste in the young couples mouth, we began exchanging ideas, colour schemes and pricing to see if we could afford her prices to what we wanted to be done as well as to see if she could pull off what the young couple wanted which was not a lot at this point. Two and a half weeks in the owner of Weddings by Nicole kept asking for a good faith deposit to secure her services which I promised once we locked down the pricing and what her services would be performed on the day of the event. I sent a final copy of our back and forth decisions to the young couple and was awaiting their approval to go ahead and secure the deposit and services of this business. The next day I received a threating email saying if I did not secure with a payment within 24 hours she would not be doing business with us. this woman cancelled over 7 appointments for a span of two whole months prior to her actually trying to do business with us and she had the audacity to say that she could not wait a couple of days in securing a payment and her services. This business will never be referred by me or anyone involved in our event and the venue will be notified of this businesses and own lack of professionalism and responsible to their clients and their desired services. This owner had terrible communicating skills if any and not being able to keep her professional appointments with clients was the icing on the cake. Now with the event a month away we are forced to see if there is anyone else that can assist us in pulling this events decoration off.

My wedding day came, and my flowers were a huge disappointment, some looked dead, and when confronted she had an excuse.

I'm lucky I had wonderful parents and inlaws to help fix everything Nicole didn't deliver on.

I was really disappointed with our experience hosting my daughter's birthday party at Fun City,…read moreespecially considering we spent over $600. For that price, I expected much better. The party package advertised a "host," but the only thing our host did was bring the pizza into the party room. There was no help organizing the party, assisting with the kids, or checking in to see if we needed anything. The cleanliness was by far the biggest issue. The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting, with feces smeared on the walls, which is completely unacceptable in a place designed for children. The play equipment was also visibly dirty, worn down, and some areas appeared to be in need of repair. Many of the staff members seemed very young and disengaged. They weren't paying attention to what was happening around them, and customer service was minimal. To make matters worse, several attractions were closed during our visit, which was disappointing since we paid full price for the party package. Overall, this experience did not come close to matching the cost. I expected a clean, well-maintained facility with attentive staff and the services that were advertised. Unfortunately, I left feeling like we paid premium prices for a very subpar experience. I wouldn't choose to host another party here unless significant improvements are made.
