    Why is there not a zero stars option? I would rate this place zero stars. The name of this place…read morehas changed a number of times, but no improvements have been made. This place is extremely outdated and dirty. It's just disgusting. You walk in to find the carpeting of the steps extremely worn down and peeling off at the sides, as it is everywhere else in the building. You walk in to see a big window overseeing the room of inflatables. This facility hosts parties and sports events. We were there for a birthday party and the party rooms are downstairs. To get to the party rooms, you walk down the stairs to a filthy hallway with disgusting turf carpeting and muggy air. I'm sure this facility has a long list of health violations. List of cons: - The restrooms are located inside of grungy looking locker rooms, so you pose the risk of having your child seeing people changing - There is no supervision in the inflatables room. Parents are responsible for their own kids - There is no system to ensure that kids leave with their parents. Anyone can walk out with your kids - My kid wandered into the sporting facility area of the lower level and fell into a rain puddle that resulted from a leaky ceiling - There are random puddles in the inflatables room from leaky ceilings (read: MOLD!) - The air in the lower level can be quite muggy during warmer months of the year (read: MOLD!) - There were buckets catching the leaking water from the ceiling at various places of the facility (I saw them on two separate visits) - Outdoor parking can be limited, depending on what other events are being held there on the same day List of pros: - No time limitation (but why would you want to stay here?) - I assume that it's cheaper here - Outside food is permitted for parties hosted here Although I hate this place, kids don't seem bothered by the filthiness of this place and seem to have a lot of fun.

    Pros: Kids love it and its a lot of fun for them…read more Cons: This is more for the parents who care about these details. Building super outdated. There is ZERO staff supervision. (I've asked the "manager" and I get the same answer each time that other staff are helping host birthday parties) There are children who run up the slides and bounce/jump from one inflatable to the next over toppling other children. There are no rules its all free game. Reason why I come back to this place is because of the price, open play all the time and my child has fun. We're in there 1 hour max. I go over safety with my child and I watch her follow them. (We've gone to pump it up many times and so those are the "rules" we go by) The way I view this place is as if I was taking my child to a public playground where other parents are responsible for their own children which we ALL know how that can be. If your pondering about going I would give it a chance and see for yourself. I personally wouldn't take a child 0-3 maybe even 4. One last thing the staff at the front desk are "high school-ish" but my first time encounter one gal was very helpful and then the other times it's in between.

    I cannot say enough nice things about this florist business! We just recently used them for my…read moreson's Thanksgiving weekend wedding and, honestly, they turned the Army Navy Country Club banquet hall into something even more magnificent. Guests commented on the beautiful flowers over and over again. The owner, Mike, has a well-developed clientele in the area so you can get lots of references. He also has a small team of perfectionist, creative artists backing him up. He's super talented, so much so that when my daughter-in-law became overwhelmed with all the wedding planning she finally just said to him that she had this much money and she wanted these colors and these flowers and she would trust his artistic talents with the rest. Well, not only was that a burden off all our shoulders and one less thing to worry about, Mike did not fail to come through! The arrangements were nothing less than breathtaking. He also went to the trouble to make gorgeous magnolia garlands for the two fireplaces in the hall and bedecked them with little lights - so subtle and lovely. Once we turned everything over to him, we never worried about it again and he was completely thorough on the wedding day, taking care of all things floral in a most professional manner. Both church and banquet hall were absolutely beautiful. This is a great business to work with, and I highly recommend them.

    It was an absolute delight to work with Yodit and her team and I couldn't imagine my magical day…read morewithout her by my side! While I could truly write for days, I will share a few highlights for the next guest or partner of Yodit: - Yodit is a calm presence. From every phone call, meeting in person, email, or text, Yodit was affirming, supportive, solution oriented, and fully confident. If I had concerns or questions about something, she was really great at providing details, answering, and confirming that I felt clear, better, or otherwise. - Yodit is very in tune with her clients. When working with other vendors, she would often share, "my client is visual - could you please provide pictures?" In addition to learning how we processed and made decisions, she would also present vendors who she felt aligned with our energy, wedding vibes, and could work well with us and one another. She truly understands people and how they feel, react, and work together. In moments of challenge, she also prioritized how we could feel, managed any dynamics with vendors, and felt comfortable troubleshooting. - Yodit is very open to feedback and able to have harder conversations. She values the relationship with her clients and vendors, and truly wants to be able to engage in open dialogue. - Yodit is extremely respected in the industry. Each vendor we worked with spoke so highly of Yodit. People were very honored and excited to work with Yodit and be selected by us. In turn, the deliverables were all on point. Again, this goes back to Yodit's relationships. On the day of my wedding, the vendors were so happy to see one an other, work with me, and invested a lot of time into making sure every detail was covered. - Yodit is fun, loving, joyful, and caring. After working together for so long, she truly grew into a person who I could exchange life updates with, learn from, and enjoy special moments with regularly. Lastly, I'll just share that Yodit loves what she does and without a doubt knows what she is doing. From planning, to vendors, to which flowers are best in certain seasons, to color shades, choosing chairs, and more - she's solid. She knows the tricks of the trade, offers good advice, and it ready to be with you on the journey. She is strategic, well experienced, and has high integrity. She moves knowing her name is literally on everything, but more importantly, that this day, event, experience is so important to the client. Her team also shares these qualities and invests deeply in your wedding, experience, and caring for you throughout. Yodit is amazing.

    An answered prayer for the busy type A bride!! Working with Favored by Yodit Events & Design was a…read moredream come true for me as a type A bride with a busy, demanding schedule. Yodit effortlessly managed the logistics and larger details, allowing me to focus on the beautiful little moments of our wedding day. Her attention to detail and seamless coordination made the entire experience stress-free and unforgettable. If you're on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, take my word and go for it--you won't regret it with Yodit!

I'm forever grateful for her help and unwavering support throughout the entire planning process. She was always quick to respond and went above and beyond to bring my vision to life. What sets Jackie apart is how genuinely she cares. She doesn't treat you like just another client--she sincerely invests in you and your wedding journey. As a bilingual planner, she was also able to communicate seamlessly with my Korean parents, who absolutely adored her for her grace, professionalism, and thoughtful mannerisms. I also rented my dress and arranged my flowers through Wedding Story, and everything exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Jackie, and the entire Wedding Story team, for making my wedding experience so smooth and special!

When we asked her to get something she had it done within days. I felt so confident and was less nervous about wedding planning with her. I truly had the most perfect day because of her and her staff. They are professional and straightforward. Trust her in the process. She doesn't sugar coat to please, she gives her honest advice using her expertise and experience as a wedding planner. When I wanted to do something or wanted something for the wedding, she made sure she gave her two cents so that I could make a better decision for the wedding and it turned out to be flawless. I couldn't recommend her services more to someone looking for a planner. Truly went above and beyond. 100/10!
