There is a beautiful gazebo attached to the hall where the reception was going to be held. It was decorated with little lights and flowers and crystal beads hanging from the ceiling. I'm really not doing a good job describing just how pretty it was. The staff was amazing and the food was hot and delicious. The hall was big enough for all of us. Since my grandson was paying for this himself, he kept the guest at around 50 people. There was plenty of room so that you weren't banging chairs trying to get up from the table. There was plenty of room for dancing. Everyone had a great time. Everything was wonderful. I would highly recommend this venue for any kind of celebration. The Chalet sits on a little lake, and that just made for some lovely pictures. I can't say enough good things about this place. You have to see it for yourself. You won't be disappointed.

She has such a calming effect on nervous brides and their parents!!

We booked the fun bus for the safety of our guests and it was worth every penny. I would highly recommend Cheers for a wedding or any event!

Pulled up to the Books and Bubbles Book Fair on 4/17 at The Five Party and Event Center in Columbus, OH -- and y'all, it was a whole vibe! The venue was cute, spacious, and had plenty of room for all the amazing local authors showcasing their work -- plus a little game room in the back for some extra fun. (You know I love a well-rounded event!) Highlights: * Met incredible authors like Larry Robertson (wordssavedlives.com), Signe Damron (signe-ture.com), Jordan Burton (theartbyjburt.com), Joseph Doherty (joeydoherty.com), Sylvia Harris (srdharrisbooks.com), and Lachandra Baker (lbbedutainment.com). * Copped two animated kids' books for $25 -- signed directly to my beau's niece, who immediately clutched them like treasures. ("It says my name!" she screamed as her mom got guilt-tripped into reading them...again. ) AND I got a book of poetry from Larry, and will plan to visit Jordan's art exhibit at ROY G BIV before the end at May 2nd! It warmed my heart to recognize faces from the Main Library Literary Fair, the First Annual Poetry Festival, and Zora's House events. Considering my ancestors risked their lives to read, I don't take the beauty of these moments lightly. Major love and respect to everyone keeping the literary flame alive. Final verdict: If you love books, community, and a good glass of bubbly, put this fair on your must-do list next year. See what other events are happening at The Five or create your own event there! Support local voices -- they're writing our future.

Not only is the food some of the best we've ever had, but the guests have been saying this as well. They truly work with your vision and help bring everything to life. Olivia is a PRO and she will truly do everything she can to help your big day be perfect. The staff is so kind and tentative, and we couldn't have had a better day. The lighting is beautiful, the food is to die for, and the service is top notch. We got so many compliments on the venue aesthetics and food. The packages include set up and tear down, along with the coordinator, Olivia. They worked with us when we didn't want to pay for open bar for every guest knowing many wouldn't drink, and came up with a wristband solution to keep track of non-drinkers. We were able to add so much to our food package after getting final numbers. I do not regret a dollar spent!

Deceptive Practices and Unprofessional Service at La Navona…read more I recently had my wedding at La Navona, and the experience was incredibly disappointing due to the lack of professionalism, poor communication, and deceitful practices by the wedding planner, Kelsey Ireland. From the start, Kelsey was difficult to reach, adding unnecessary stress to the wedding planning process. Despite paying for her services, she rarely responded to my emails or texts and was often unavailable. On the day of the wedding, despite clear weather and only a 15% chance of rain, Kelsey insisted on moving my ceremony indoors. She claimed she had been trying to contact me, but there were no missed calls on my phone. One of the most frustrating aspects of the day was the wedding ceremony program, which was included in my package. Kelsey promised to fix the program the night before the wedding, but she didn't follow through. The next morning, just hours before the wedding, she told me the best she could do was to enlarge the existing program without making any real changes. This forced me to scramble and fix the program myself on the morning of my wedding--a task that should never have been my responsibility. Kelsey was also rude to some of my guests and my bridal party, which is completely unacceptable. Additionally, she didn't stay for the entire wedding, and we were not informed she would be leaving early, despite having paid for her to be there. The wedding was also understaffed, with no hors d'oeuvres brought to the bridal party during pictures, and no announcements made for guests to take their favors or the small rum cakes we provided--resulting in hundreds of dollars lost. To make matters worse, Kelsey assured me that La Navona would provide shade for our musicians, but when the day came, no shade was provided. I had to pay out of pocket at the last minute to ensure the musicians weren't left in the sun. This kind of deceit and lack of follow-through from Kelsey at La Navona is simply unacceptable. Guests reported that Kelsey was telling them the pictures were done, causing us to miss photos with some family members. We are also missing our cake topper, which was not returned to us at the end of the night. Instead of enjoying my wedding day, I was left emotionally distressed due to the numerous issues caused by Kelsey and the venue's staff. This is not the wedding day I paid for. The overall experience was marred by unprofessionalism, poor communication, and outright lies. I cannot recommend La Navona or Kelsey Ireland to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy venue for their special day.

Brandy was not only brilliant in making my Halloween themed baby shower come to life, but she took away every ounce of stress that comes with party planning, met my budget requirements and allowed me to actually enjoy my day. I consulted with her during a visit in September and gave her the run-down of what I envisioned and what I got was above and beyond any of my expectations. Hands down the best party experience I've had, and that's even over my own wedding! She's meticulous and gets the job done flawlessly. Food was amazing, decor was on point, everything fell within my budget, and my guests were so happy. More importantly, I worried about NOTHING.

I really like the fact that the place is well-staffed because there are a lot of opportunities for bad things to happen. With so many employees on hand (and friendly and helpful as well!), I didn't feel like my kids were in danger. The majority of the activities are for kids older than my own, maybe for ages 5-12? My 3 year-old could do some of the obstacle courses and the small kids' bounce house. My 17 month-old could do the small bounce house and I took her down two of the slides, but it was not easy to get up while carrying a small child. There are many bounce houses and inflatable slides, a trampoline, a small laser tag maze, and other related things. There is also a small children area with giant blocks and childrens' toys, but not much else. I thought $9 was a bit steep for two hours (or less) of play and was surprised they don't have longer periods of play time. But my daughters enjoyed their time there and I would probably go back when they are a bit older. It's worth checking out. As I mentioned, the staff was great and made my daughters' experience great.
