I rented chairs and tables and they dropped off, set up and picked up the rentals with no issues. Their staff was kind and helpful and overall we had a pleasant experience. I will definitely use What A Blast rentals again.

Perfect Events planned and managed my daughter's wedding and reception this past weekend in Des…read moreMoines, Iowa. Bonnie, the owner, was very efficient and worked extremely hard to make sure every detail was correct. She worked within the time frames of the planned agenda and did an absolutely superb job. She also decorated the church and reception venue beautifully. She performed every aspect of her duties expertly and the bride, groom, family and guests were extremely pleased. Bonnie was fantastic to work with! She is super organized, flexible, and made sure that the day went flawlessly. Perfect Events team's dedication, problem-solving skills, and commitment to excellence have left a lasting impression on us and we highly recommend their services for a flawless and memorable wedding experience. 10/10 recommended!

Triad coaches are wonderful. The business side is run by an amatuer. Billing fluctuates every month…read morebecause they add surcharges and random fees so you cannot figure out what your bill is going to be in advance. No statement is sent out. You get an email the day of the draft when the charges have already posted to your account. Operations Manager and owners are not available for questions and ignore all feedback. Front Desk staff is helpful but poorly equipped to answer any questions. For meets hosted by Triad you will volunteer a minimum of 20 hours for setup, tear down, and random shifts during the meet. If you cannot commit that much time you will be charged $200 to makeup for not volunteering. Expect tuition charges, team surcharges, uniform surcharges, associatoin fees, etc but won't be told in advance when you will be billed for it. You find out after the money is drafted out of your account electronically (electronic draft is a requirement). None of this is malicious, they just don't know what they are doing and since they are the only game in town they ignore any and all feedback. If there was another gymnastics option convenient to where I live I would definitely look into. It's too bad that such a great coaching staff works for a business that is managed so poorly.

We had a dairy allergy that required special treatment and they prepared their food with alternative ingredients and labeled everything with allergy info so everyone knew what they could eat. Carol was incredibly generous with decor and her creativity helped us make our day beautiful. The food was hot and delicious, and we received many compliments from our guests on how good everything was. We definitely recommend them for your upcoming events!

My experience with Cirque Wonderland was not a positive one, and it has been frustrating to process…read moreover time. What was presented as a welcoming and inclusive space did not always align with my personal experience there. When I spoke up about my concerns, I felt they were dismissed or minimized, which made it difficult for me to feel heard or supported in the space. This came after I shared that I experienced what I perceived as confrontational and inappropriate verbal behavior from a neighboring business owner at the time. I was told the cameras in the building were not working at that time, which added to my discomfort with the situation. I rented a room in the space for four years, prior to its expansion. In April 2023, I was told via phone call that a change in my massage clientele to better fit the space would be something to consider to fit the gym more, or that it might be best for me to leave. Later , I received an email stating it would be best for me to leave, along with a move-out timeline. I asked to have a conversation in person or by phone to try to come to a more mutual agreement, especially since I was there regularly, but that request was declined. I then received formal communication via email, which felt abrupt and uncomfortable, and reinforced my concerns based on my experience about how situations like this were handled compared to what I had understood when I first joined the space. In private conversations, I've heard perspectives that echoed some of my concerns around a disconnect between stated values and lived experiences. I understand that others may have different experiences, and I can only speak to my own. One example of that disconnect, from my point of view, was messaging like "any body can do aerial" not always feeling fully reflected in practice, particularly when some policies felt like they created barriers for people with different needs in my experience. For me, what started as a business misalignment became more personal over time. I'm sharing this to bring awareness and to encourage better alignment between values and action. I also always wondered why they seemed they were the only aerial arts place in des moines when they werent I do want to acknowledge that there were coaches I appreciated working with, including Bonnie, who I felt did embody the values that were expressed. This is being shared in the hope that it encourages reflection. My experience was disappointing, both as a business owner and as a person navigating the situation. TO CIRQUE AND FELICIA IN RESPONSE TO THEIR COMMENT AND RESPONSE Thank you for your response. I understand that your perspective may differ. What I've shared reflects my personal experience , my records and how I was approached and was impacted by those interactions at the time. I'm not interested in continuing this conversation privately, as I've already attempted to have direct discussions in the past without resolution.

Right away I was impressed by the background of the owner--one of the first people to bring circus and aerial arts classes to Iowa. Clearly this person has a passion for sharing the art form. After day one my kids were hooked and couldn't stop talking about how much fun they had. I love that class sizes are kept very small, and that the structure of membership and future classes leave a lot of room for scheduling flexibility. I am super excited that my kids found something that they want to keep doing--something that leaves so much room for personal growth and experimentation!

He refused to show. I then got a call from Amanda who went over some of the problems of the timing and I told her that I would do the shopping, change the day, do whatever it took to make this work. I told her I would work with Louis and make it work with him, but ideally I wanted a morning shift, not the afternoon shift. She agreed to put me on the waiting list. Today, I got an absolutely rude call from a guy who said it wasn't going to work out, then lied about what how the conversations went. I tried to explain all the things I tried to offer; two meals, snacks, simple food; cleaning up after Louis (which he is supposed to do) and he kept cutting me off and told me it wasn't a good fit. Unbelievable. They didn't even try to make this work, simply serving two people a couple of meals a week. Rude, unprofessional, almost downright mean.
