Great catch! Here's the updated version with that line smoothed out: A planner's secret weapon for bar & bat mitzvahs. As a corporate and social event planner with over two decades in the industry, I have very high standards for the vendors I bring into my events. The Fun Claw has earned a permanent spot on my preferred vendor list -- I've hired them for multiple bar and bat mitzvahs, and they never miss. From the first inquiry, the booking process is seamlessly easy. They're responsive, clear about logistics, and a genuine pleasure to coordinate with -- which matters enormously when you're managing a complex mitzvah weekend with high expectations from both the kids and the parents. No surprises, no last-minute stress. Just a professional team that shows up ready to deliver. And the guest reaction? Pure magic. The moment those claw machines hit the party floor, the kids swarm them -- and honestly, so do the adults. It becomes an instant focal point of the room, driving energy, laughter, and the kind of genuine excitement that keeps guests engaged all night long. It layers beautifully into the overall party experience and always leaves a lasting impression. If you're planning a bar or bat mitzvah and want an entertainment element that truly lands with every age group in the room, The Fun Claw is a no-brainer. They make my clients happy, and they make my job easier. That's a combination I'll keep booking.

Second year in a row that I rent the claw machine for my kid's birthday parties and it's always a big hit with all guests. Easy and fast communication with Josh makes even better. Highly recommend The Fun Claw!

We wanted to do something unique for our wedding and after seeing The Fun Claw at another wedding on social media, we knew it had to be. Everyone at our wedding LOVED the claw machine and it was busy ALL night. It was a total hit for all ages, and we even had people play it multiple times throughout the wedding. People were raving about it and showing off their prizes throughout the night. Josh was responsive, kind, easy-going, and was able to answer all and any questions prior to booking and leading up to the wedding. Josh had numerous machines and plushies to choose from and even let us throw in our own prizes, such as labubus and personalized t-shirts. The machine was well-stocked for our 3.5 hour reception and never ran out of prizes. His pricing was reasonable and he was on time for set-up and tear-down. We would definitely rent from The Fun Claw again for our next event!!

I just realized this review is long over due!! I apologize Josh!!! My sister actually had the great idea of having a claw machine! It was the most pleasant experience with Joshua from the initial inquiry to setting up and picking up. We had the Fun Claw for my daughters Spooktacular 4 birthday party and let me tell ya, it was the ish!! we couldn't have had a better attraction!! Although it was a mad house with the kids taking turns it was sooo much fun and the kids got to take multiple turns and take home multiple prizes! Joshua gave us the option of having the machine filled with a ton of plushies that fit were our daughter's favs plus we were able to include additional toys, and capsules which we filled with money and goodies!! I haven't seen a claw machine at any other party yet so it was so cool to set the bar. I Highly recommend if you're considering it the slight bit because you won't be disappointed. Thank you once again Josh!!

HIT. OF. THE. NIGHT! 100/10 recommend. Best decision we made was finding Joshua and The Fun Claw - so glad we decided to invite them to our wedding back in April. Josh made it super easy to book, answered all my questions, and even worked with me to put what we wanted into the machine. Guests were obsessed with this all night! Fantastic customer service and will definitely be hiring them again for my future events!

The Fun Claw after a successful event! All prizes won!

I was looking for a fun activity for a community event and I am so glad I booked The Fun Claw! The machine was a huge hit with a line the entire time. The machine had a good mix of prizes and everyone was excited to try and win. I liked that we could also add in our own prizes and Josh explained how to customize the difficulty level by adding or removing the rubber grippers on the claw. Booking and communication with Josh was super easy and I appreciate the good customer service! I'm looking forward to booking with them again! Would highly recommend for any event!

Laura's Table and Chair Rental

I booked with Laura to rent chairs months in advance for a baby shower. I contacted Laura a week…read moreprior to add umbrellas to the order. The morning of she was supposed to deliver from 8 to 9. It's 930 and I call her and she said she was only delivering the chairs and would double check the invoice about the umbrellas. I sent her a screenshot of the invoice which included the umbrellas. She said she was running behind and we'll get back to me. She never got back to me. I called her multiple times. Texted her multiple times and no response. She is completely unprofessional. I understand there's delays but to ignore your client is unacceptable. I had to call another rental company last minute to get chairs and umbrellas for my occasion. Do not use her despite the positive reviews.

I needed some tables and chairs to seat roughly 12 additional guests in my patio this Thanksgiving…read moreand called around to some local vendors. Some had high minimums that I couldn't meet and Laura's had really good prices so it seemed like a no brainer. Well, you get what you pay for. I'll start with the good... Pros: 1. Very affordable and transparent pricing. 2. Laura was very responsive and easy to work with. 3. Delivery was on time and efficient. Now for the negatives, and reasons why I removed 2 stars: 1. Chairs arrived FILTHY. I spent nearly 2 hours cleaning and scrubbing dirt and stains off 16 chairs. 2. During delivery the young man swung around a stack of chairs and put a dent in our garage refrigerator. Thank goodness we'd moved our cars out of the way before they arrived. 3. Pickup was supposed to happen the following day (Friday). That day, I stayed home all day expecting a call/text that they'd be arriving soon to pickup the rental items, but no word. Then, the next day at 7:20am (Saturday) I am woken up by the doorbell ringing. I looked at my phone to check the time and saw a text from them only, 10 minutes prior, saying they'd be arriving soon.

She…read moredid not sell us on anything and when we were asking about how the set up would be, she shared that she had experience at this venue and that she was a planner. We followed up to see what wedding planning packages she had and safe to say this was the best decision made. Eliza, Tammy + Team provided the full service for our wedding. We hired them for planning, design, coordination, rentals, and florals and it made life so much easier. I had the best experience with Eliza and team with our weekly meetings for a few months to align on all the details. She understand and appreciated our mixed cultural background and how we wanted to incorporate elements of this for a Persian and Vietnamese wedding. I have always heard wedding planning to be stressful but safe to say my experience was the best and the day of the wedding went beautifully. Nothing ever goes to plan and I'm really happy Eliza and her team are experienced enough to adjust to last minutes changes such as guest no shows, etc. She captured our vision perfectly and I'm already thinking of future events I would plan with Bel Events again!

Horrible experience, stay away!…read more This is a review for Eliza at BEL Events for her wedding planning services. We met Eliza at our venue 8 month before our wedding date. During the first session she presented herself well, and she talked and bragged a lot about her 18 yrs of experience in event planning and stories about how she handles wedding situations. So, we thought she is the right event planner for us and signed a contract. After signing the contract and making the payment, she was very hard to find and we did not see the expected action from her side, and every time we followed up, her response was: "don't worry I will manage everything before the wedding day". We were asking for the basics of planning such as timeline, vendor recommendations (a few to choose from) and communications (which was part of the contract) but not no action except a quote of her own rental service. We were getting closer to the wedding date and her lack of action made us so worried and very frustrated. Eventually we had to get involved and did almost 90% of the work ourselves. She was very hard to find but even when we could talk to her, she would create more unnecessary problems to an extant that my wife had panic attacks after a few meetings we had with her. 2 month before our wedding she caused so much anxiety and frustration that we decided to end our contract with her and find another planner. Thankfully, our new planner was amazing and our Wedding planning went very smooth after that, and the event was as wonderful as we could imagine! With way lower cost than what Eliza had proposed! After I requested to cancel the contract she disappeared and never responded to our emails, which is very unprofessional. Here is a list of a few issues from our experience of working with here: 1- Accessibility: every time we had a question or needed to talk to her, it was taking several days until she gets back to us. With irrelevant excuses, like she would show me her busy google calendar! 2- Push to use her own services as vendors: Per her contract she had to suggest different vendors so we can choose. But since she has rental and flower services, she was arguing so much to stop us from even looking at other options! She charges unnecessarily expensive! By doing a little research, we found our vendors and saved at least 50% with same or better quality! 3- Nonsense arguments and rude attitude: In many occasions she was just insisting on holding the event the way SHE wants, without paying attention to our request or desire. Every time we requested something, her answer was: "I don't want MY event to be that way or I don't want MY guests to be that way"!!! With a condescending attitude emphasizing that "I have 18 yrs of experience and I know what to do"!!! Any simple request would become a long story and unnecessary argument. In one occasion my wife requested that guests throw flower petals while walking out of aisle, and she immediately said: "No!, you can't do that, I don't want my cleaning crew spend time on cleaning the petals"!!!! In another occasion Eliza was insisting on only using her recommended valet service (which was quoting more than double the price of the service we eventually used) and on top of it she was forcing us to rent extra parking lot out of venue and pay extra for shuttle service!!!! While the venue had enough capacity! And when I respectfully said: I am confident that the venue has enough capacity for parking, she got very angry and said: "in that case tell all your guests to use UBER and they can't drive their own car"!!! It was a nightmare working with BEL Events and I don't recommend her service due to lack of professionalism and decency in her business.
