He was very communicative--even with the 13 hour time difference, I was able to coordinate with him easily. I had my husband be taken out of the house three hours before the party to set up... the balloon arch was delivered right on time. The photographer showed up half an hour earlier than the party. The magician I wanted to hire was booked somewhere else and I only found out a few days before, but the balloon sculpture artist Mark recommended instead was an absolute hit with the kids as well as the adults, which was a pleasant surprise. He made my husband the most outrageous birthday hat. Right when he was supposed to be done, one of the kids tripped and popped his balloons and got upset, and he stayed longer to make him (and a few other stragglers) more balloons. Truly kind. The photographer David was also really so helpful, friendly, and on it! He came early and helped with some of the set up... he was attentive and also very nice to talk to. Very natural (sometimes it's awkward when a photographer's in your face taking pictures but it wasn't awkward at all). We got a USB full of pictures right after the party! Really, what a great experience. My husband had a really great time. Thank you Mark and company!

My beautiful friend has such great taste I didn't expect anything less from her but this place lived up to the standards I hold her to. It's so majestic and pristine inside the chapel. This for the fairly take style love story they have. The food was amazing from start to finish. The cocktail hour food was appetizing to every palette. They had everything chicken, beef seafood and sushi. The hors d'oeuvres and main course were well made. I have been to a lot of weddings, and I have been in a couple weddings, and out of all the venues I've ever been to this one is by far my favorite. Mainly because of the food. If it wasn't raining, the outside scenery would be perfect for photos. But I got beautiful photos by the bar, and on the couch in the back of the ballroom. If you want a really nice wedding venue location, I don't know how much this place cost but I bet it was worth it.

The business owner sent me a contract and to confirm the date, I paid a deposit. The day of the party, 2 super friendly young women arrived with party equipment they set up then asked for my permission to begin. They had the children play so many games right after each other including ones with a parachute and a toilet paper blower (yay!) that my kids slept like logs that evening. They also sculpted balloon animals for each child and provided T-shirts for the celebrants. A lot of the guests said it was the best party ever.

Through a search and reviews, I came upon What's Cooking. I had a very good conversation with the owner, who assured me that the experience was "appropriate" for a corporate group and a holiday event. The cost was high, but I chalked that up to the interactive nature of the event. I was told this would indeed be an interactive experience and while we wouldn't necessarily cook the entire meal ourselves, we would certainly be cooking and interacting with the chef. I was shocked, disappointed, and embarrassed with the experience. First, we walked into what looked like a kids birthday venue, with a giant sign that read "Happy Birthday Layla" (this was a white board, so at the very least it could have been cleaned off, if not had our event name on it). There were picnic tables and plastic table cloths. No cooking stations. We were seated at the picnic tables, and at our place setting was a plastic bowl with two mushrooms in it. This was the extent of our "interactive cooking experience". We did not cook -- we chopped two mushrooms and later, a banana. Literally. The chef cooked in front of us on a burner and showed us how she made the items. We sat at picnic tables and were served on paper and plastic. The food itself was fine (Chicken Marsala, sauteed spinach, salad (bagged?), avocado with bacon and blue cheese with chips, banana foster) and the staff was lovely to deal with -- courteous, polite, informative. But this was a FAIL from my POV and only worth one star (generously) bc the experience I was sold and promised did not match with what we received.
