    Came here for the Garden Brothers Circus during the week. It appeared to be a wanna-be Barnum and Bailey circus, except it was outside. As it became dusk, mosquitoes were out in full force. Upon entering the facility, my daughter and I needed to use the restroom. As we entered the restroom, an overwhelming stench overcame us, but we continued inside. Both restrooms were disgustingly dirty and when it was time to wash our hands, there not only wasn't any soap available, but also a maxi pad there. Talk about disgusting. Afterwards, we decided to grab some typical circus food such as nachos and hot dogs. To my surprise, the server had one glove on while serving the food and one finger slot was ripped because of her long nails. Wow. She continued handling both food and money simultaneously with her hands and didn't even bother replacing the torn glove. The show itself was alright. I'm not a big circus fan, but my family enjoyed the performances. The intermission session was far too long though; about 30-45 minutes long! Needless to say, we left early since it was a school night and we were over it.

    My team numbers for the 5k inflatable!!!!!!

    1st time at the Pasadena convention center for the 5k inflatable and it was too "murch" fun! The volunteers were so helpful and supportive. Everything was in order. Parking, water zones, traffic, food, porta pottys and etc still no complaints! Weather was perfect and even a little breezy from the lord was appreciated. They also have a Dj to keep the crowd moving, it's like your not even running. Once you finally make it to the finish line.... Congrats!! Picture taken, free t shirt, race metal, and snacks are given to everyone. Cool right! Oh yea! Dogs, coolers and children are allowed. Food trucks available and even BEER! I'm slim but I get pretty excited about food! But it was a really fun experience and can't wait to do it again....

    Every year the Clear Lake Gem and Mineral Society hosts an Annual Gem show and my sister and I go every year. We've been attending the show for 4 years and will continue to give support to the society. The show is large and covers the whole convention center---at about 80 dealers come out to sell their stones and just out to have a good time with fellow rockhounders like myself. More information about the show: The show is held late February and early March. It used to be in February, but the guy over the show passed away, so they had to accommodate a different date. Admission is $7 for adults, $3 for students: grades 6-12, and of course children get in free. The show is on Saturday 10 am to 6 pm and Sunday 10 am to 5pm. The parking is free and the lot is huge! They also have door prizes that you can win. For additional information, go to the website: http://www.clgms.org/page2.html It is great for the whole family, rockhounders, or whoever loves interesting things. My favorite dealers are there: Bitterroot Minerals from Corpus Christi, TX, Shu's Rock Shop from League City, TX and much more. Come check it out and you won't be disappointed.

    TINY FLOOR!

    Good parking, convenient location. I love it when the roller derby, wrestling, and the gun shows are there.

    Their buildings need to be better labeled or they need to have a more accessible map that is one click google-able.

They were told they could bring in their own alcohol, sodas and water. However, 4 days before the wedding they were told they couldn't bring water & sodas. The guest have to pay for them their!! The bride didn't want certain decorations, but the people said they weren't moving them!! The day of the reception it was very warm in the building and especially in the VIP room upstairs. I went outside to get my bag that had my change of clothes, phone charger, meds etc... I put 4 half drank bottles of water in my bag. When I entered the building a Hispanic woman approached me and asked me what was in my bag. I started to tell her and she grabbed my bag to look inside!! How rude!! She then said I couldn't bring in my water. I asked why. She told me I had to buy the water. I told her I wasn't buying any water when I have my own. I then took my water back to my car and returned to the building. That Gestopo woman came rushing up to me to look in my bag AGAIN!! I told her that I didn't have any water! I left it in my car. She grabbed my bag and started going through it! I told her "it's my clothes, my panties, my socks, my charger & meds!" She let go and said "It's policy." I walked off and went up stairs. I told the wedding party about her. I was so mad! Around 9:00pm several of us noticed it started getting hot inside. I thought it was me, but I saw other people fanning themselves. We all came to the conclusion that the people of the place turned up the ac. They made it so uncomfortable that people were leaving. The place was rented until 1:00am!! I left after 10:30pm. It was too hot in there for me!! Did you know that this place used to be a strip club? Sure did! LOL!! Don't rent this place out.

    My wedding was going according to the plan until the actual day. It took me almost a year to write…read morethis review, because it still breaks my heart to think about my wedding. We were provided 3 planners to help us with the coordination, but they did not do a good job. According to my family and guests, they didn't know where to put the gifts/envelopes during the reception. Also, when the guests left, some of them did not get their wedding favors, which was heartbreaking because I put a lot of thought into them. Overall, the guests were not coordinated properly, and were not directed clearly. There was a very unfortunate incident that happened: halfway through our reception, a power outage occurred. The venue had absolutely no back up for the power outage. With no electricity or AC, the wedding reception was ended earlier than anticipated time. The total reception was supposed to be 4 hours, but the power outage occurred 2 hours in. The venue made sure to point us to the contact, which stated that the venue was not responsible for a power outage. It is disappointing that they did not have any fan or any type of back up plan for a power outage. The wedding was in July and it was HOT. They ended up compensating about 10% of the total amount we paid (1 hour worth of event). Our guests were gracious enough to stay about an hour after the power outage occurred, but the venue counted that. This wasn't fair because one of the main reasons everyone stayed is that the venue led us to believe that the power might come back. It wasn't until we got confirmation from a police officer that the power was not coming back, that we seriously considered ending the event early. Aside from the compensation, I was disappointed and devastated in regards to the owners attitude and response to the incident. Yes, I got a small amount of money back, but I couldn't even utilize the photo booth, DJ, and music because of the loss of electricity. Thankfully, I hired the DJ to prepare a full backdrop of light, otherwise we would have sat in complete darkness. It was a good thing that I did not rely 100% on the wedding for lighting. I do want to say one good thing about Sara, my coordinator. I really appreciated Sara for all of her work. She was very flexible and tried to meet all of my needs. She was always available and remembered things that I needed and mentioned. If it wasn't for Sara, this venue would deserve 1 star. Due to Sara's hard work, I will give 2 stars. If it wasn't for incident and the venue's terrible service, this place would have been a decent place for a wedding.

The owner, Paula, was so kind and generous through the entire process. She was always easy to get in touch with and is genuinely a kind person who cared about our experience. We appreciated the value and simplicity of a venue with a package that had so much included in the price. Paula and her crew were "all hands on deck" before, during, and after our event and we didn't have to lift a finger. She made the venue beautiful for our event and put our minds at ease. I would definitely recommend Di Amici Upscale Events!

We had a set schedule as we had outside vendors come in for fog, catering, dj, & so on. Their security guard went to random tables and decided to announce our dinner service, not only that got himself a plate, got a couple plates for people working next door at fiesta BEFORE not only me or my husband was served but any of our guests were served. My husband went up to Myra and asked her to come speak with me and she walked right past me outside, I followed her out there and told her the situation and she responded with "uh I'm trying to find him" my husband told her they needed to find a solution for this issue and she left without speaking to us again. I messaged her the next day where she 1, lied and said the security apologized. 2, attempted to push the blame on to the hired catering company. 3, argued with me over refunding the security payment. I had to call their sister location to have the owner call me, which he did apologize profusely & refund us for his security & $50 for the stolen food. Mind you, we paid for all our vendors who's schedules were completely thrown off. We also had a guest who's car was towed out of their lot that night, which they reimbursed after as well. If you're ready for your event to go through ridiculous hoops as well as your guests to have to deal with their staff (that's on sites) unprofessionalism then book with them. A "I'm sorry" and a refund for their security completely throwing off our wedding as well as stealing was not enough to make up for the service we received that night, it's not just any night we can't go back and have a redo wedding night. We cannot rewind time & know what we do now, but we can warn others before they book.
