We were lucky enough to attend for a party, and the private rooms for those are large and well-equipped. Kids were able to pop between the play area and the party room during their time in the venue. Bathrooms are kid friendly with kid potty seats. I don't remember any of the two banes of our existence with a little one, namely a sensor flush on the toilet or an air dryer (both noisy things that make public restrooms look less attractive). One of my favorite features was the quiet room. Calm, dark, and with a big comfy kiddo couch and headphones for those who need them, it was a welcome respite from the sometimes boisterous play area that even a parent could appreciate! If you're thinking of checking out We Rock the Spectrum, I think you'll love what you find when you visit!

AR Workshop is a DIY shop where you can sign up to do pre-determined crafts throughout the week and weekends. Examples include cake stands, signs, tote bags, and clocks. The inside is adorably decorated with a modern rustic theme. There are large tables where you and your group can sit at to work on your crafts together inside. You can also book a private event in advance through their website which is pretty easy to navigate. There is ample parking space which is always a plus. I came for their grand opening with a friend. This event was well-planned and so much fun! They had teal decorations and balloons everywhere and were well-stocked with alcoholic drinks, water bottles with their logo, sparkling juice, a charcuterie platter, shrimp with cocktail sauce, and burritos. Guests were able to make a simple craft which were small wooden boards with various stains and cute phrases stenciled on top you could choose to paint with a variety of shades and colored glitter. They even had a cute photobooth 'van' outside, live music, and raffles throughout the evening. Seriously well-planned, my friend and I had a great time. This would be a great place for showers, bachelorette parties, birthdays, and special celebrations. I'm excited to come here for another event in the future!

Meh. If you're into mediocre decor, this is the place for you. But beware, the employees don't…read morealways get your design right. One person in our group actually had an employee tear off her stencil before she was finished so she didn't even get to take her work home since they had to "fix it" for her. And if you step away from your project for more than a second, the employees take the liberty of doing whatever they want with it. I definitely wouldn't recommend this place if you expect your work to be "yours." They take it upon themselves to do whatever they choose to your project. I actually left without them even putting the legs on my stand because they split one of my friends projects by nailing where they shouldn't have. They ruined the whole look. I recommend going elsewhere or ordering your own design from Etsy.

I first met Bryce Denison and MPW in 2020 when I attended a photo review session that they hosted…read more I had been shooting since 2013, entirely self-taught, and had a bit of a chip on my shoulder. I think I was looking more for validation rather than constructive criticism. I got my wish; my images were appreciated along with some nice compliments. But then, unexpectedly, Bryce spoke about several things regarding composition, light, and editing that I had not heard before -- and trust me, I've just about heard it all, as have most of us. Over the next few months, I attended a couple of MPW outings. Each time Bryce taught me things I didn't know. So it didn't take me long to figure out that Bryce was a walking talking repository of photography knowledge and experience who knew things that you don't hear a lot about elsewhere. I asked Bryce if it would make sense for me to attend his Intermediate shooting class and bypass his Fundaments 101 class. He recognized that I had quite a bit of knowledge and experience, so he was on the fence about it. He quizzed me about some shooting concepts that I should know, and I correctly answered 4 or 5 of his 6 or 7 questions. So, what to do? I thought I might be missing some important stuff, so I signed up for the Fundamentals 101 class. I completed it (mostly) in November of 2021. Now in retrospect, it was the right decision. Although I probably already knew about 75% of what was presented, the remaining 25% was astonishing. Of that 25% about half was stuff that I thought I knew but really didn't understand or use correctly. And the rest was stuff brand new to me. Example: Do you know the difference between lens acuity and lens focus? Why is that important to know? How do you calculate which aperture maximizes a given lens's acuity sweet spot? Example: Even given sufficient light, did you know that the lowest ISO setting available in your camera is not necessarily the ISO that generates the least amount of noise? Do you know which ISO setting generates the least amount of noise? Why is that so? Teaching myself photography, I took many online courses, consumed countless various tutorials, scoured Scot Kelby's website, and watched all kinds of B&H and Adorama YouTubes. I consumed as much material as I could get my hands on. But that last 12 or 15% that I learned in Bryce's Fundamentals 101 class just isn't taught anywhere these days. Bryce tells me that most of that stuff was either old-school common knowledge or new tech stuff that's not commonly understood yet. Bottom line, even if you have been shooting for a long time or were self-taught like me, the Fundamentals 101 class is worth every penny. I can strongly recommend it to almost anyone.

I just finished the Fundamentals class and have to say I was impressed with the variety and amount…read moreof topics covered. This is a class for those people, like me, who wanted to move away from point and shoot photography but don't quite know how to. The first night of class you are given a CD which contains all of the power point lessons covered throughout the class. It is nice to have that to reference back on. Some of the topics covered are aperture, F-stop, portraiture, landscape photography and well, everything in between. There are 6 four hour classes followed by a 'break the rules' Saturday class that is 6 hours. They offer several classes, like probably close to 100. I enjoyed the class and am considering taking further classes. I think for the price, you get your money. The best thing about the class was the willingness to teach. Bryce is a brilliant photographer and he was obviously passionate for his students to learn. Having said that, I will also say he is quite the character and may take a minute to adjust to. But hang in there, put up with this sometimes long and drawn out stores because somewhere in the midst is a golden nugget that if learned and applied will make your pictures better. There are homework lessons every week and I thought this would be the part I would dread the most but I really appreciated the constructive feedback and also liked viewing my classmates pictures as well. As with all artistic outlets, tastes and styles vary and it's fun to see the differences within the group. Lastly, if you are looking to purchase more equipment or have any questions about where to go next, Bryce is very open to meeting and talking with his students one on one. Half of one of the classes is talking about brand names and what he considers the must have essentials. Whatever you do, don't go buy a bunch of equipment before the class starts. Learn from him on what you need and don't need. His wealth of knowledge is very impressive and even if I didn't learn anything in the class (I did) I would have taken it if only to have a great resource available when I have questions or concerns. If you're looking to improve your skills, no matter what skill level you are at, you cannot go wrong with Midwest Photography!
