My baby boy just turned 1 year old. I discovered the Piazza when he was only a few months old, and began taking him here (both the Peabody location and Beverly location) when he was about 6 or 7 months old. He became very active very early on and this place was the perfect spot where he could explore safely. He liked it so much, that I started thinking about hosting his first birthday party at one of the locations. At first, I did feel like the cost was a lot but we decided that the space was too perfect, so we booked it. We chose the Peabody location after originally booking the Beverly location because we had quite a hefty list of people to invite. I loved the fact that we could bring in adult beverages for the adults. This was important to me because we had quite a few adult friends that don't have children and we wanted them to have a little fun too. The day of the party, Becky & Rachel were on board helping us do literally everything with setting up and clean up! I was feeling a bit overwhelmed with it but these ladies definitely made everything run smoothly! We got there a little earlier than set-up time, but we were able to start setting up and my little guy was able to run around the play space while did so. During the party, they checked in quite a few times to make sure everything was going well, it was. The children had an absolute blast in the play area, and it was nice and spacious for the parents to hang out and chat while the children played. At the conclusion of the party, the ladies were right there ready to get us all packed up and organized. They went above and beyond. It took nearly an hour to get everything packed up and out of the venue... we had 2 car fulls of things to take away with us. I didn't feel rushed at any point of the day, which i was relieved because the party time block was for 2 hours. They took their time and made sure we had everything we needed and the play space quickly transformed back the way it was when we arrived. Over all, it was definitely an amazing party. After all was said and done, the $499 didn't feel so terrible because Becky & Rachel really worked hard to ensure the party went well. Between setting up and breaking down, we were definitely there longer than expected. I appreciate that we weren't rushed and everything went so well. I definitely would recommend the Piazza to friends of mine that have children. The only negative thing about it was the food room/party room space. I had quite a large group of people and it got a little cozy in there and there was not a ton of space to put out the food, with that said... i still would have had the party there! We had a ton of fun and will definitely make more visits so my little guy can run out his energy. Thank you so much for making my baby's first birthday a huge success and a fun memory. read more
