My daughter and I were provided very limited amounts of colors and told they were acrylic so no fire was going to be needed to glaze the pottery. Unfortunately our pottery looked very blah due to color selection and brushes that were provided. I understand that there are multiple locations, so maybe we chose the wrong one? I won't know the answer because I will not be going to either. My recommendation is to pull the acrylic..

I had the great pleasure of visiting Nick of Time Escapes this week! I took a group of students on…read morea field trip out here, and I can't speak highly enough about the experience. Where to begin? First, let's talk about Celeste at Swain! What a fantastic person friendly and helpful on the phone when we discussed the plans. Lovely in person, and very helpful through the experience. Hannah, one of the hosts of the escape room was kind too, and I must admit patient with my group of teenage boys. Thank you again for that! The rooms themselves are well done and the stories are interesting. I personally recommend the Hairy Women of Klipnocky - the rooms are not only entertaining puzzles, but really, they are work of art and engineering. I love how they have built the rooms so well! Of all the escape rooms I've done, this was by far the most high-tech and engaging one I've experienced. I think that having an escape room at a ski resort is a perfect idea. You can have people come prior to ski season (like we did), but I imagine that this is a great option for other things to do at the center when you need a break from the slopes, or you have a non-skier in the mix. The drive from Rochester is a little long to make it an easy destination, but I think it is a great destination none-the-less. Overall, my students had a good time, I probably had a better time, but all in all I appreciated the opportunity to do some team-building and get our brains working! Thanks again to Celeste and Hannah who made our experience a great one! Yelpers, I highly recommend this place, so make sure you check it out when you're able!

A Dream Wedding, Made Effortless, thanks to Melissa and Simple Celebrations!…read more Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but Melissa and her team at Simple Celebrations turned what could have been a stressful process into something truly joyful. From the very beginning, Melissa took the time to listen, really listen, to our hopes, ideas, and vision. She then used her deep well of experience, creativity, and calm confidence to guide us every step of the way. Melissa is more than just a planner, she's a partner, a problem-solver, and a visionary. Her impeccable taste and design eye brought our wedding to life in a way that felt personal, elegant, and unforgettable. But what impressed us most was her ability to anticipate our needs before we even realized we had them. That level of foresight and attention is rare and absolutely priceless. Throughout the planning process and especially on the big day, Melissa was attentive, professional, and full of fresh ideas. She handled every detail with grace, allowing us to be fully present and soak in the magic of our wedding without worry. Everything flowed seamlessly because Melissa was running the show--and we knew we were in the best possible hands. We are endlessly grateful for her talent, poise, and passion. If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make your day exceptional, look no further than Melissa and Simple Celebrations. BRAVA, MELISSA! You made our day truly spectacular.

We hired Andrea Ball as our "day of" coordinator for a wedding in the Buffalo, NY area and she did…read morean outstanding job that made our wedding so much more enjoyable as she took so much of the stress out of it. While we did much of the vendor selection and planning (site, florist, cake) on our own, Andrea reviewed contracts for us, came with us to planning meetings, and recommended vendors for areas we had not yet found one. She found people on short notice when things came up (e.g. piano player for our cocktail reception) and made sure that we had thought through all the issues for the day of our wedding. But the real value was on the day of the wedding. Andrea had everything moving on time, with little stress, and it just made things move by so smoothly. Andrea has great working relationships throughout the area which adds to her value in making sure things get done without a hitch -- and if there is a hitch - she'll fix it before it becomes a problem. Worth every penny and then some.

As an event planner, I understand the importance of honest reviews. Here's our experience with…read moreCarla for my September 2024 wedding. We initially met Carla at Château du Feÿ, where she was employed. After a disappointing experience with another planner, we hired Carla 5 months before our wedding, hoping her 3+ years of specialized venue expertise would be invaluable. To our surprise, Carla had not worked with half of our vendors before - even though they were part of the short list of recommended vendors provided by the venue. Despite her website's claims, Carla's design suggestions felt generic and lacked the personalized touch we were looking for. Carla's lack of attention to detail became increasingly apparent as we worked with her. Our wedding had many unique and custom details. Lots of information that a seasoned wedding planner would be able to keep an attentive handle on. The mounting oversights caused significant stress in the final weeks leading up to the wedding. We were genuinely anxious that our vision wouldn't be realized. Luckily, we had multiple vendors and family friends that helped Carla execute the event. As the bride, I distanced myself as much as possible from Carla to allow myself to enjoy the day without frustration. This is not the typical experience. While we appreciate Carla's willingness to take us on with short notice, and she did have some helpful insights regarding sourcing a local florist and unique videographers, her lack of attention to detail ultimately overshadowed those positives. Feel free to message me if you have questions about our experience.
