It ends up that not a lot of places rent plates, glasses, etc., but these guys do and they've done a nice job! Located over off of Washington, near the airport in Yakima, the actual storefront is located around the side of the building. It's not immediately obvious, so it's helpful to have an idea of what you're looking for. Upon walking in, you will note that they have a decent number of costumes for rental or purchase, and plenty of party and costume favors. They do a pretty good job keeping it organized, but I imagine it's fairly tough given the business they're in. As far as the rentals of dinnerware, things are generally rented in multiples of 12, and they have a good selection. I've never had to rent a such thing as before, so I don't know what the pricing should be, but this seemed relatively appropriate. The thing that stood out to me here was the fact that they called to confirm things a couple of times and seem to be very on the ball with what they were doing. The store in and of itself Is not anything crazy awesome, but the service and the way that they made sure the details were ironed out was spot on. While there are not a lot of options for places to rent place settings for your event, this is definitely one that we will use again!

I rented a dance floor from Party Connection for my outdoor wedding in Naches…read more Due to the limited hours available, it was hard to get a hold of Julie at times, but once I did, she was very friendly to talk to. We agreed on the rental, delivery, and set-up of a dance floor on the main lawn at my wedding venue and everything went according to plan day of. However, the dance floor felt very flimsy once I stepped on it -- something I didn't realize until I had stepped on the dance floor for my first dance! And once our guests joined for dancing, the entire dance floor had broken apart into its individual square pieces. No one cared much by that point in the evening since everyone was dancing and having fun, but still not ideal to see your dance floor fall apart at your own wedding. Perhaps not the best place to rent a dance floor from if you need to use it on the grass specifically?

Incredible venue -- we're already planning our next party!…read more 509 Jumpers was absolutely AMAZING. From start to finish, the owners and staff were so easy to work with, incredibly kind, and truly made our event special. Every single person was awesome. We hosted a 40th birthday party for my sister-in-law with about 55-60 people (adults and kids), and it could not have been more perfect. This is not your typical inflatable place -- the inflatables are HUGE, unique, and include obstacle courses that were fun for everyone. The venue itself is fantastic: * A movie/media room with stadium seating * Surround sound music throughout the entire space (and you can play your own music!) * A dining hall that made hosting easy and comfortable Everything was clean, organized, and so much fun. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how great it was. This place came highly recommended to us and now I completely understand why. We are already planning our next event here and will absolutely be back. Highly recommend! You do NOT want to miss out on this venue.

I have never felt more comfortable in my own skin. Kaylee was absolutely amazing, she was so welcoming and helped me understand the poses, made me feel comfortable, and not worried about how I looked during the shoot. Everything about this experience was unbelievable. The amount of confidence that it gave me, to see myself in the pictures and the angles and shots Kaylee took are incredible! I strongly, strongly recommend KMT photography to anyone thinking about taking boudoir pics! I drove 3 hours just to go to Kaylee and couldn't be happier with the outcome, plus my hubby absolutely loved em as well which is a plus! Thank you Kaylee for one of the best experiences, I never imagined it would be that easy or that care free. I am blown away by how good the pictures turned out and how much fun I had during the shoot! I can't wait to get the done again!!!!

The soup was fantastic, but the small salad and cold pasta, topped with a small salt block beef tenderloin was insulting. The staff could not tell a grapefruit from a mandarin based on the description of the bite size salad we were served. The wine pairings came out 15-20 mins before the dishes, so apparently we were supposed to stare at the wine and not drink it considering how cheap they were and did not offer refill pours. The staff was overly defensive and deflective when I brought things to their attention, including Shawn, the head chef How about you give me $240 a plate for Valentine's Day and let me serve you such mediocre dishes and let me see how you feel. I am not sure how quality was so lost over the years Never again....

After moving back to town in 2016, I heard about a local guy who was going to be competing on…read moreMaster Chef - That dude was Shawn Nile, AKA "The Fat Pastor". Fast forward a few years and this guy and his crew continue to bring it like it's no bodies business! A love of all thing culinary, crosses with a love of community and topped with the realization that the area was in dire need of a foodie revolution, Fat Pastor Production was born. In the time they've been doing their thing, they've started doing boss level catering for groups of 20 to several 100, created "Urban Kitchen" a non-profit that brings at risk youth into the kitchen to teach them business, cooking and life skills, and established BITE CLUB - an underground dining club. We've had the privilege of partaking in each one of these forums and none has ever left us wanting! The catering has brought a new level of culinary delight to the valley. The dishes they prepare range from tried and true, to creative and dynamic. We've been at function of 25 and function of 200 where they serve and each time they bring their A game! The BITE CLUB (Capitalized because I'm always excited about it!) is in a league of it's own. They announce a themed dinner - ranging from classic French, to Zambian, to a 15-Mile dinner (where everything was from within 15 miles of the city), to fire roasted everything, to a guilty pleasures dinner, or THE MASTER CHEF SERIES - where fellow master chef contestants come and cook alongside the team. These are roughly 10% of what's been held in the past 18 months and each dinner is held at a new location. These have ranged from wineries, to private homes, an art gallery, on the fairway of a golf course, barns, and museums. They've become incredible at pairing food with atmosphere and creating experiences. Sign up here - https://www.thefatpastor.us/biteclub If you haven't deduced that we love these guys, go back and read this again! We eat A LOT, and to date we're yet to have something from these guys that we don't like. If you have the chance to check these guys you, you absolutely must!

Very good food. Cons - Nothing against Staci's I'm somewhat of an environmentalist and would suggest not using Styrofoam containers, I say that on a lot of Yelps so don't get offended, just trying to spread the word. Hire her for your next meeting or catering. We really like the punctuality a lot. I'm feeding a lot of hungry people.

I came here recently for a foundation dinner and it was the perfect spot for a gathering of roughly 75 to 100 people. The parking lot is located just off the campus, which is basically a fence enclosed area about a block off the main road. Upon entering, you notice a large gathering area inside what I think is a festive type barn. The tents were set up very nicely in the entryway as well as on the lawn to the right, where we ate. There's a lovely grassy area for people to gather and plenty of space to mingle both indoors and outdoors. It's not the sort of place that you could host a gathering of 300 people, however for a foundation dinner of about 70 it was perfect. There is ample space for moving around in multiple different settings, room for a Photo Booth and a full kitchen where some really awesome food was made! As is constantly the case, this is another place I didn't know existed, but certainly a place that we will likely be utilizing in the future! Well worth checking out for an event or gathering of small to medium size!
