The front range view, the beautiful landscaping, and the indoor rustic reception site were marvelous. From all of the wedding details, we probably received the most compliments on how gorgeous our venue was, so you cannot go wrong. It helped so much to have so many elements included and taken care of- coordinator, tables and chairs, table cloths, napkins, bartender, servers, the arch, and many of the decorations. I didn't even feel the need to have a florist included in the day because of the landscaping and natural elements that were already part of Shupe. That helped a ton! We loved the feeling of being doted on and feeling so special and taken care of. A DEEP heart felt thank you to Shupe and the At Your Service Event Management Team. You make dreams come true!!

The owners are real people running a locally owned business, and offering GREAT service to their customers! They don't have all of the bells and whistles of the larger and more corporate trampoline/ninja parks, but the experience was just as enjoyable for our family! I have three boys and a girl aged 16 to 6. They are in gymnastics and are self-taught in Ninja obstacles. At first, the staff hesitated to allow my kids to try the advanced ninja obstacles (because it was our first time there), but communicated that clearly and considerately, while eventually giving them a chance to "prove themselves" under proper supervision. I appreciated their genuine concern for my kids' safety, while still being willing to cater to their desire to challenge themselves. My boys also appreciated the staff catering to them so they could enjoy the experience even more! Warrior Playground appears on the Colorado "Get Out Pass" which gets you a free session at the playground during Open Gym time on certain days.

As a local wedding planner I was seeking venues in the area. The moment I walked in to venue I…read morewas greeted by Jeanne. Jeanne is very welcoming, making you feel confident in the services of 17th Avenue event center. I hosted our 1st AK bridal show on March 8th at the center. Jeanne was beyond helpful in the planning process, she even was gracious and helped with set up. Brides and grooms loved the venue as it was dressed up as a wedding reception. The center has an open feel with a great dance floor, beautiful bar and perfect room for buffet and catering. We highly recommend 17th Avenue event center to our brides, grooms and our friends. Any kind of party or event will fit perfectly at 17th Avenue event center. And the most important aspect is the customer service! You can't beat it!

Wanted to break the contract when I asked simple simple questions. Such as when could a tasting be set up? He caters to the venue so...it's putting all eggs into one poorly made basket. When I tried to get my deposit back from him once it was decided it wasn't happening...he wouldn't set a time to meet. He wanted a home address to send a check(over two hundred dollars, probably would bounce, who knows if it would get sent this year or on his end he could just say...it got lost in the mail). He wouldn't show respect at all. He didn't treat this as a business but rather as a piggy bank for himself. Getting a hold of him was near impossible for over a month. Literally everything was horrible. The price lures you in. Don't be fooled. It's not worth the back stepping to the beginning of planning. Users beware. He outright said, he doesn't know what charger plates are and he's never heard of food options for guests on invites. Nor does he think people she cater to guests wants. Just get what your craving. He said everyone has a preference. But we shouldn't worry even a little. Such as a vegetarian and meat option both. I can't say enough what a nightmare this has been and until I get a refund back, still is.

The garden is lovely: statuary with clematis or ivy climbing up it dots the lawn; large trees provide shade, and there are flowering plants everywhere. My relative was married here; my mom used to bring her grandkids here for a photo shoot! The one drawback- it's at a busy intersection, so you do have to be ok with that.

They can feed goats, sheep, bighorn sheep, alpacas through fence. Chickens are turkeys are running around free and it's set up great that you can roam and not feel like your on top of other guests. They have a sandbox type silo, a bunch of toy trucks to play with, some climbing and swinging items and a small play house (we did not go in because a bunch of kids were playing). I would say go early bring a lunch and sit out and play and let kids explore. It's a little pricy $15 for anyone over 12 months so a family of 4 is $60 but I'm sure it helps the farm keep well maintained. I would go back and recommend to anyone with small kids.

This beautifully restored, landmark fire station in downtown Longmont has been run by the…read morenonprofit, The Arts Studio, since 1987 with a major renovation to the building in 1999.

Exhibitions mix solo and group shows including local, regional, and national artists. I've been visiting the Center for many years. I've found the exhibits to be of mixed quality, but that's inevitable given the mission of the organization. Today's visit involved some sort of used clothing sale which was a little confusing and made it difficult to see the current art exhibit.

Our order was put on the bottom of the list. Our food arrived after people that were seated after us. We had to inquire about our order because it took such a long time to receive it. We did appreciate that our server offered a free cookie or brownie bite because of the inconvenience. Even though there was that snafu with our order I will still return here. The food is delicious, the location is beautiful and the service though slow was still served by a friendly waitress.

I've been meaning to come in for a long while and finally made it for a Sunday coffee with a friend…read morea couple weeks ago. This is the closest locally owned coffee shop for both of us so we were excited to try it! I do not love the parking in this strip mall so may park on the street next time, but we were able to park on the street side of the lot without issue finding a spot on a Sunday morning. Ambiance first - we loved the space. There were lots of seating options, including 2-top and 4-top tables, patio seating, and couches. People with dogs (as in 1-2 people plus their dog) monopolized the couches for the entire 2 hours we were there, so that seating appears not so much a community shared space as a "whoever gets there first gets the whole thing". Some of the tables have one side on a bench seat/booth and the other on a chair, which worked great for us! Despite being busy on a Sunday morning it was not overwhelmingly loud - they don't have visible sound deadening materials so I'm not sure how they accomplished it, but neither of our sensitivities to busy cafe noises were triggered here. I like to test out new coffee shops with the basics - black drip coffee or cold brew. My friend does dairy free lattes. My cold brew was diluted pretty heavily to begin with and they killed it dead by filling the cup all the way to the top with ice. If I wanted an iced coffee I'd order an iced coffee and I don't appreciate paying $4 for a cup of ice that tastes like coffee, so no stars for my beverage. My friend enjoyed hers. We also ordered the palisade peach toast, a king egg (I don't recall if this is what they call it here) and I think something else. Nothing was noteworthy. They do have some fun things on the menu that I will eventually go back for, like the dandelion and chicory caffeine free coffee, and I'll go find out if the chai is the locally-typical syrup-from-a-can or traditionally brewed. Unfortunately their hours are such that they don't open early enough for commuters and are closed before the end of the workday, so they're probably geared more to the high school, WFH, SAH, and retired demographic than the working class. But assuming I find time that I want a beverage and they happen to be open, I look forward to visiting again to try out the juice/smoothie and non-caffeinated side of things.
