My husband and I used Shoots and Sounds for our wedding-- and the experience was great! From our…read moreinitial meeting to even after the wedding, Anthony and Gina have been nothing but wonderful! When we met them both, we immediately knew we wanted them to do our wedding. It was the combo deal that did us in. We were getting all the photos that I could possibly want plus the choice of fun and music for the wedding and reception. We loved all of the ideas and they definitely understood and loved all of ours. This was very important to us because we knew that Anthony would be controlling the flow of the entire night. Also important that Gina get the fun photos and quick and painless family photos that we wanted. We had multiple meetings and much communication back and forth til we were satisfied of what we wanted. Anthony and Gina really did most of the work with just a little guidance from us. Even in emails I received from prior to the wedding, they were just as excited for our wedding as we were- which I loved. I also loved that we could go online and select the music prior to the event at our leisure plus veto also music ahead of times. Gina ran the camera and got in the most important pictures that I was looking for. There's not much that I can say about the actual wedding day besides that it was absolutely amazing and perfect! Cant say enough how smooth everything went from family photos to the fun of the reception. The music, the lights, everything! I would recommend using Shoots and Sounds for any event! :)

Was able to stay a few nights, walk around the entire conference area, ate at the cafe, passed through the casino area, and back to the horse track area for a private party throughout my stay here. CONFERENCE MEETING ROOMS - Spacious and clean, but a little dated compared to the modern lobby area, however it added it's own charm in a certain way. Really liked how open the hallways and rooms were and the multiple entrances and exits. CAFE - Checked in late and was fortunate enough to grab a bite here before it closed for the evening. Ordered a Cajun Chicken Alfredo Pasta with a side of Chicken Noodle Soup and it was big enough to last me two days! Maybe this is me coming from CA, but damn food is cheap in Iowa!! A little on the salty side here but not bad at all! Would definitely order again. CASINO AREA - I am not much of a gambler by any means, but on my short walk passing through to get to the horse tracks, it smelled just like any Vegas Casino (smoke) and sounded just as animated with the slots lighting up on every pull. I would definitely have spent some time here if I had some gambling blood in me. HORSE TRACKS - Ever since I heard about the Del Mar Fairgrounds shooting an injured racehorse right on the tracks on opening day, I haven't been able to look at the sport the same way. In any case, this venue did offer a nice outdoor tented area and trailer directly in front of the tracks, complete with a bar and hor dourves for private parties. My colleague and I both agreed that this was a nice little getaway spot and on the way out, caught a few races and was amused with the clever names the announcer was riffling off. The ENTIRE facility was FREEZING the whole time I was there. We all joked around how we could save the venue thousands of dollars by just turning it up a couple notches. I think my thermostat read 60 when I got to my room. BRRRR!!!!!! One final thing.... the reason why I can't give the 5 stars, was because for whatever reason, those in my group who checked in before and after me all ended up with suites (amongst a group of ~90), while I just ended up with a standard room. RUDE. The room I ended up having was still spacious and the bed was absolutely comfortable, but it was annoying hearing everyone at the event comment on how all the rooms there were suites. NO. NO THEY ARE NOT.....

I understand, but a short reply takes less than a minute. Time management is not one of their superpowers. They don't delay on the bill though. They claim they are a Non-Profit but when you look them up with the State you see they are a For-Profit LLC. I get they have to make money and pay their characters, but be upfront about that.
