My wife and I contracted Larry to DJ our wedding and for his modest prices we received a stellar…read moreamount of service, professionalism, and not least of all perfect atmosphere for every aspect of our wedding reception. Larry was on time and on target to ensure that he was fully set up well in advance of the guests arrival and while the guests anxiously (impatiently) awaited the arrival of the bride and groom he provided light cabaret music to ease the atmosphere which continued through the dinner. We had given Larry only a couple of requests for songs and had given him free reign for the dance and he did not disappoint, providing music from not only this generation but others as well which got everyone of all ages on the floor swinging and dancing and also provided a couple of slower songs periodically through the night (it's a wedding after all) We could not be more pleased with his services and are already recommending him to friends, family and strangers alike. We can't thank you enough for your help that night and if there's anything else we can do for you please let us know. Sincerely, The Marlows

In October we had the pleasure of meeting Richard. We hired him to provide music for our son and…read morehis husbands wedding. Richard was very professional and took the time to meet with myself, my husband and the grooms. He explained all the different services that his business provided. Richard explained to the grooms different ideas that he provided for other events. He kept all the guests on their feet with a wonderful selection of music for all. We also used the lights that Richard had available and it looked fantastic! I would highly recommend the services that Kraken Entertainment provides. Thank you Richard for helping to make lasting memories!

The Halifax Club is a members only organization established in 1862. Apparently, when the land was…read moreoriginally purchased in the late 1800s it only cost $8000. It is a gorgeous old building in downtown Halifax, and in the last number of years the direction has been shifting; attempting to transition from its fairly stuffy roots, into something a little more accessible and perhaps more appealing to a younger crowd. Last night I attended a theatre performance at The Halifax Club. Zuppa, an amazing local theatre company, staged their play "Penny Dreadful" in the Uniacke room. The play is set in the 1800s so The Halifax Club as a venue, with its high ceilings and large paintings, was a very appropriate choice for the ensemble. The Pryor room bar was open before and after the show and our charming bartender Alex was helpful and generous. I enjoyed a glass of red wine for $7.5 while my date's beer was about $5.5. All of the people we encountered during our evening were very friendly and fun. If you happen to be invited by a member to dine or attend a function at The Halifax Club, you should accept the invitation. If you're hoping to become a member, check out the website. I'm sure it's not cheap, but you can feel both a sense of excitement and nostalgia knowing that you're walking the same halls that James C. Cogswell and William Cunard once did.

We got married here in 2004 and had an amazing experience. The guy in charge of organizing our…read morewedding there was fantastic to deal with. He walked us through the menu and any rentals we needed (dance floor) and was really accommodating. We had the place to ourselves and they were able to let the wedding party in early for photographs (damn rain...the only rainy Labour Day weekend in almost ten years, I swear). The food was great. I loved that I didn't have to worry about decorations - a few flowers, a bit of sheer fabric to match our colours on the table and boom! the place was ready to go. My guests loved it and kept saying how classy my wedding was, but it was all because I chose this as my venue. (disclaimer: this is all based on the service I had in 2004).

We had my son's 5th birthday here and he loved it. It is an indoor playground with a separate (but…read morefully viewable from the playground so kids/parents can keep an eye on each other) kitchen/eating area. My son invited 12 friends and they had a blast tearing around the play area. The kitchen area was already set up when we got there with brown craft paper and crayons on the long tables as well as paper towels, plates and a ready-to-go coffee maker! They had even put up some streamers and balloons. Joanne, the owner, was very nice and prompt in her communication. I put down a deposit before the party and she encouraged me to come 15 minutes early to decorate, so that wouldn't eat into the party time. She also told me I could spend 15 extra minutes after our allotted time (12-2) to clean up, again so it wouldn't eat into the party time, and on the day we arrived the gentleman who let us in told us we were the only party booked for the day and not to worry about being out right on time. Very nice! The place was immaculate and had two washrooms which is good when you have lots of kids who are drinking lots of juice boxes! We got the basic package, which was $199 for two hours rental of the space. I would definitely recommend this place to friends who are looking to have parties for their kids. My son and his friends had a blast and a lot pf parents commented to me on what a great place it was. We had a great experience!
