The equipment was clean, well maintained, and the staff were incredibly engaging. After the great experience, I also arranged for them through my job for two community events for children and families. We chose the Rolling Video Games Foam Machine. Both times, the foam party was a huge success. The kids absolutely loved it, and it quickly became the highlight of the day, created a fun and memorable atmosphere for all! Rolling Video Games of New England is professional, easy to work with, and consistently deliver a fun experience!

There are a few small classrooms which are decorated with artwork...very motivating! It's BYOB and you can also bring food items (apps/snacks) to enjoy while creating your masterpiece. The instructor was great, very helpful and clearly explained each step of the process. I was frustrated at the beginning, having not painted since middle school, but began to develop confidence as my painting was near finished. I was also able to go back and touch up some areas that I thought needed it. A great way to spend an evening with friends. I definitely plan to return. They constantly offer promos and discounts (on their website and via groupon/living social), which I plan to keep an eye on, for my next visit.

Bruce had a little difficulty with the website, there was ALOT of repeat questions that where ultimately irrelevant (just fyi )but we finally managed to figure it out, but fair warning the website/ online sign up is a head ache but overall the class was worth it! Thank you Chloe for making our night!!!

I was dealing with a guy named Mike(possibly the manager/owner?) and we agreed that I could try to get the rental returned by either Monday or Tuesday this week, as this rental required a truck to haul it. It was clearly understood that I needed help from my friend that has a truck. Come Saturday, Mike gave me a call and the tone he conveyed was very bossy and I swear he was yelling his words like "I just wanna make sure you understand it needs to be picked up soon!" I gave him the benefit of the doubt thinking he's just a little nervous on the timing. We picked it up before 1 with no issue. During the party, the bartender I hired had used the ice storage compartment in this cheap plastic bar, and pointed out that there was a leaky water drain spickett that was faulty and kept leaking water all onto the floor. My bartender had slipped several times and even fell one time. Come Monday, I get a call from Mike yelling at me again saying I was supposed to drop it off on that day, even though he agreed by Tuesday the latest. Come Tuesday, he calls again asking when the bar is being returned. I told him my friend was able to drop it off no later than 2:30pm. I was appalled when he responded "WE CLOSE AT 2!!!" I explained to him that the timing was out of my control and that he understood I do not own a vehicle large enough to get it back before 2pm myself. I told Mike that my friend could drop it off in back, but his pissed off anxiety stricken tone didn't want to hear me out. He said "if you drop it off in back and it gets stolen overnight THATS ON YOU" and "I'm gonna need to inspect it when it does get returned to make sure there's no damage." That's when I told him that there was damage on the leaky spickett before I ever rented this POS and the problems it created at the party, particularly the hired bartender. His voice became timid after that and didn't wanna talk about it as he ended the phone call less than a minute after. To top it all off, my friend called me at 2:15pm saying that it was dropped off but nobody was there and took a picture of where he dropped off the bar in back. I never received a call or text from Mike on Wednesday, and honestly I've never had such a terribly unprofessional experience from a business like this in my entire life. Many of my friends and family couldn't believe how awful this place is and everyone I've shared my experience with agrees that this place should not be in business. I hope Mike turns to God or even Anger Management.

They have large storage facility in the back of their store for all their tables, chairs, etc. The prices of their party supplies inside the store are okay but not the best I have found when visiting in the past. This time around I ordered some tables and chairs. When I went to pick up my chairs/tables they had me drive around back to pick up my rentals. They help you load it up and have you do a final signature. Very friendly staff and they double check to make sure you have everything you ordered. The products were in all fairly good condition. The following day when I returned my rentals the two guys I spoke with were very polite and let me know that I had to finalize the return inside afterwards. Within ten minutes I was all set and on my way home.

Last night I attended the Tile Coasters event at SoCo Wine Co. in Wallingford. It was a small group of 8 people, which was the perfect size for this type of class. There was one long table set up for us with instructions, tools, and four tiles at each seat. Another table was set up to the side with piles and piles of scrapbook paper, stickers, and other embellishments. I had brought photos with me to make my coasters, but was so taken with some of the quotes and papers available that I only used two of my photos and made my other two tiles with supplied papers. Learning how to make the coasters was a very easy and well-described process. Because the class was so small, it was easy to ask questions and get hands-on help immediately. I hadn't been expecting there to be any need to finish the craft at home, so that was the only downside, but it gives me an excuse to get together with my friends again. I look forward to attending more events in the future!
