The communication was not great. The instructions are that you'll be contacted by the entertainer the week prior to the event. Fri morning I hadn't heard anything so I reached out and was told she'd contact me on the afternoon and they never did. The following morning (day of the party) they reached out and said they had an incorrect phone number and they didn't respond Fri evening b/c of business hours. Mistakes happen, very understandable but all of it could have been avoided if they didn't wait until the afternoon before the party to reach out. Tiffeney was incredibly apologetic, the owner never apologized, just explained the oversight and how negative review impact the business.

He dressed up as a Pirate, played games, made balloon swords and a magic show! He was very good with the children, and made sure everyone had a good time. He had a gentle way to include everyone, even the more shy children. His jokes were also entertaining to the adults, we all got a kick out the experience. I would recommend Party Animals to liven up any occasion!

It was my first time visiting the festival and I liked it. After reading the reviews from the…read moreprevious years, I was a bit anxious about the parking scene but the volunteers had handled it pretty well. For such a crowd, they did a splendid job and the location (Athletics club) was perfect. The weather was great, so it made it easy to walk and gaze at the stalls at our own pace. We saw some amazing artwork by several artists and stuff like jewelry, wood-carved decor, clay paintings, water paintings and last but not least, my favorite - handmade chocolates. Vendors were super polite and smiling and some of them told us about their stories and their experiences coming to the festival. I wish I could have bought more if only the prices were a bit reasonable. But, I'm glad I picked up a delicious bag of toffee made by Maybird Confections located in Alpharetta. Yum! I highly recommend checking out their online store.

The BSA Troop adults working the 2023 festival were rude and disrespectfully. If you can get past all that, the vendors and art booths were very unique. You can find a little bit of everything. Not many food choices but enough to keep you hydrated and entertained. We had Cuban sandwiches from their food truck and it was really good. There was a small area where you could sit and listen to the music.. Overall it's a nice event but you should defiantly arrive early in the morning and arm yourself with patience.

Jim is a quality promoter who returns calls in a timely manner, follows up with all my requests, and, in short, is a pleasure to deal with each year.

Living in NYC, I never thought I would hear a better live band or DJ then the ones here, but boy was I wrong! They had all 200+ guests of all ages dancing all night.

I wish they played at my wedding.. All I can say is WOW! If you are looking for the best band or DJ in Georgia this is the crew for you. Thank you for an unforgettable night!!!

Before our celebration, I sat with Klara and came up with a plan for my event. She and Shane gave me great suggestions of songs for the family entrance, and the candle-lighting ceremony. This was so appreciated and we enjoyed discussing different songs. Klara and Shane are able to change and adapt to the event as needed. During our event, we played a photo montage that my son put together. In the middle of the montage, the music stopped. Shane quickly realized what was going on, and immediately started playing music that fit the moment. I ran to him and asked him to play a specific song that I knew my son wanted to hear. While I was a nervous wreck, Shane stayed calm and collected which helped to calm me down. I highly recommend Pure Entertainment to anyone looking for fun, professional, and flexible DJs.

Our 7YO is in an LOL Surprise fan, so we were thrilled someone could dress as Diva from the series. We had Audrey as our entertainer, and she was a true professional from beginning to end, texting clear details of her upcoming booking with us, showed up on time the day of, and she had such a sweet and friendly demeanor. She came dressed to do face painting, (a true artist! Some images were painted on kids arms), shared magic tricks, then made balloon animals. She then changed for photo ops in the famed costume and our kid guests just had such a blast with her! As busy parents it really made such a difference to have a stress free party and Audrey fit the bill perfectly. We will definitely look to Copy Cats for Kids for future events.

Wow...where to begin. My husband and I got married a little over a week ago and we have been so…read morefrustrated with our experience with this DJ we couldn't wait to tell others to stay away. We held our wedding out of town (Madison, GA) so we were looking for vendors closer to our venue so we wouldn't have to pay too much of a traveling fee but little did I know we would end up paying in the long run. I should have known when the owner, Andrew Byrd asked me to come meet with him in person instead of over the phone when I live 2 hours from his office he was not in this business relationship to help me out. Instead I arrive at our initial appointment for him try to coax me into booking all of his many wedding services he offers i.e. Limo service, photography, photo booth...this guy just does it "ALL." He seems legit at first so we booked with him and did not have much issue until about 4 months out from our wedding. He stopped returning emails and/or phone calls and when he finally would respond he had an attitude. See Andrew is a DJ but he contracts out other DJs and assigns them to your wedding based on which package you purchase; he is the middle man (and not a very good one). Initially he told me I would be able To have a phone conversation with our actual DJ months prior to the wedding to make sure we felt like he was a good fit for our event, but in actuality I did not speak with our actual DJ until the Thursday before our wedding...yes like thurs, fri, oh hey Saturday is our wedding day; that Thursday. So I spoke to our DJ, finally,!he seemed pretty cool, we talked about what we were looking for as far as music style for the reception and just tried to move forward. Wellll...the next day, Friday before the wedding, I get a text...yes a text from Andrew stating our balance was not paid in full and we would need to give a check to our DJ. We had paid our remaining balance 2 months prior!!! Who texts a bride the day before her wedding telling them they owe $?! That is what wedding coordinators are for...oh but wait he never returned my wedding coordinators phone calls or emails so therefore he did not have her contact information. She had been trying to reach him for months. I let my wedding coordinator contact him to straighten out the money situation and he proceeded to get an attitude and hung up on her. This is when my now husband contacted him and let's just say...they had a nice little convo. I received an "I apologize" text from Andrew like we're 14 or something. Fast forward to Saturday our wedding day. Bottom line this DJ sucked!!! We paid $1000 for this DJ and he absolutely blew. No personality, did not do half the things I asked during our reception; absolutely terrible. I did not let it ruin my wedding by if I can save one person from these people I will feel a little better. Ok, I'm done.

This DJ is not even worth one star. I hired Andrew Byrd after I met him at a Bridal Affair in…read moreAthens. He emailed me paperwork and I sent him a 350.00 down payment. He told me that he was giving me this "great deal" because we had a mutual friend. After not hearing from him and with the wedding fast approaching - I begin to call him. My check had not been cashed and I had not received confirmation that all of my paperwork had been received. I began calling both numbers on his brochure and sending emails - to which he did not respond. Finally, the week OF the wedding - I sent a message to our 'mutual friend' to see if she could help me get in touch with him. She sent him a text - and then he called me from an unknown number and literally chewed me out in a voice mail. He stated that he was doing me a favor by giving me a discount - because of our 'mutual friend' - he demanded his money (stating that I was not living up to his contract - because I had not paid the balance). After sending him an email apologizing for upsetting him - he sent me a nasty email - he actually told me that he was "disappointed" with me - because he had gone out of his way to give me a discount. He further stated that he had been out of the country and that it was not in his practice to let his client know his "whereabouts." He also kept referring to the paperwork and contract - and stated that he had my song list - which told me he had not even looked at the paperwork I sent because I wrote a note that I wanted to speak to him about it. Then to top it off - when I had my Fiance' call him he changed his tune - but then he sent me text messages demanding that I send a cancellation notice through email - the DAY before the wedding - when I was out trying to enjoy my day with my family who was in town for the event - after me and my fiance had both sent him notification through text messages that we would not use his service. Word to the wise - do not hire this company!!! Do not even think about it!
