No answer after multiple calls, voicemail box full, and did not answer email. Totally unprofessional and disappointing. We had used another company in the past but after inquiring felt Party Host Helpers were more organized and straightforward. We hired them because we needed the service and were overwhelmed without the help. I received an automated email 2 days later saying our deposit was refunded but no apology or acknowledgement of how inconvenienced we were. I do not recommend risking it by hiring them. It doesn't seem like they are able to oversee or manage their staff properly.

It's with a heavy heart I write this review…read more There's so much promise in a Taking The Bite Out Of Whiskey dinner, and knowing how I do adore that dirty water, KG peeled two bills for a pair of admissions to the tasting. Perhaps the curriculum was new, or perhaps there was evidenced a severe disconnect between the pair of instructors (one, Jonathan Alsop, the proprietor of the school, and the other, a buyer from the attached liquor store, who led our class) on the use of a photo slide show through the duration of the class, or perhaps it was the less-than-interesting bourbons, ryes and blends sipped, or the hour long wait for the class to even begin... The entire experience just left us underwhelmed. The space is beautiful - studious, comfortable (even at folding tables and chairs) and inviting. A common reception housed 40 students, who mingled over store-bought cheeses, apricots, pistachios and toast points while awaiting the class start. Fine for 10, 15, hell even 30 minutes, as the congenial hosts tasted barrel cured or bourbon-inspired beers before the show began. But it didn't stop there, as we awaited late comers and began the class almost an hour after it was set to start. Our group split in to two, with half traipsing through the attached liquor store and the others staying in the sweet study of a classroom. Fortunately, we're in the latter. A candid conversation begins with the upfront admission that there's no real agenda, aside from the tasting schedule, so "ask questions as we go." It quickly became apparent that the second instructor, while extremely knowledgable on whiskey, had very little understanding of Jonathan's intended curriculum, or if he did, then the subject matter was loose and disjointed. A limited portion of the cheese we'd been eating was served to accompany the flight, and the bottles tasted (from white whiskey to scotch) were "economically feasible," none of which eclipsed a $20 bottle retail. Two and a half hours after the ticketed start time, we're presented with dinner - a single trip (read: no seconds) down a serviced buffet of Blue Ribbon BBQ - and that was that. So, $100 a head got us 3 oz of well whiskey, a $6 scoop of BBQ, a Trader Joe's cheese plate and a Wikipedia article on distilling corn. I came to understand from our peers that this place is constantly offering 50% off deals through the usual suspects, which would've made the experience a little more fair to the dollar. But at full sticker, we were fooled once. Shame on us.

This place is located on Comm Ave where there's the big flashing sign "Brookline Liqours". It's adorable inside and the classes are so cool! We took a "Burger and Wine" class and the teacher/owner was very knowledgeable, personable, and fun. Laid back class, nothing snooty about it. We all learned something and had delcious food and wine. Definitely a fun thing to do as a girls night or with a date. Try it out!

Through an Internet search I found this outfit which would cover the insurance and provide a bartender for 4 hrs. at a cost of $300 (we were providing the wine & beer). I had one phone conversation with Ed and the rest of our business was conducted online. The venue got the insurance notification promptly and our bartender, Bill, showed up on time and did a great job. I was a little wary of doing biz with a company amongst whose various names is "Rent a Casino" but I rolled the dice and was all smiles as I "bought baby some new shoes".

This is the worst woman I have ever met in my life. She robbed me of my deposit despite the fact…read moreshe didn't do anything besides google things. I had to hire another planner who did the job in 3 weeks. I hired Veronica in May for my baby's birthday and 7 months later still nothing was done and she refused to give me back my money. She then texted me extremely threatening texts almost 3 months after my event to remove my one star review or she will sue me. She would then block me and then unblock me and continue to send threatening messages. This woman wants to keep her shady business practice behind wraps. She also threatened me about someone else leaving her a bad review. Her google reviews are mainly all one star reviews. She is the worst thing to ever happen to me. I wish I contacted the other party planning business before I came into contact with this evil person. I have included screen shots of her harassment. I have informed the police department and will take all legal measures should she continue to threaten and harass me. Her number is listed to show you she is the evil person behind these texts. Oh and she kept my money and did no work for what I paid her for. Keep that in mind. Google her. There is nothing but bad things written about her all over the internet let alone her google reviews. I should have read about all her unhappy customers and negative articles written To Veronica's comment: YOU are an absolute liar. I don't need to speak on whatever crap you're saying because a simple search of your google reviews will show all of the horrible reviews you have. If you google "blue ivy and Beyoncé" you can see articles of Beyoncé asking for a restraining order against this awful woman. Poor excuse for a human being! Literally everything she wrote in her response to my comment is a lie and don't entertain her BS! One simple google search will SHOW all her unhappy customers dating back YEARS!

Being in the wedding industry myself, I am extremely picky about who to entrust on our big day. Having a wealth of contacts to plan our own wedding, we undoubtedly knew Veronica was THE ONE for us! From our first interview with her she was on point, meticulous and had a back up plan for our "back up plan". She listened to our needs and wedding vision, kept me motivated and on time with my checklists and truly "got it". From day one I conveyed to her that we were looking for a "bulldog" day of coordinator/Superwoman that could handle a large wedding party (11 bridesmaids and 5 groomsmen), large family, out of towner guests and whatever drama might enfold. I wanted someone as detailed as I am, if not more but who truly cares and understands the entire process. We found all that in Veronica, and then some! Her attention to detail is above and beyond. She has her templates, checklists and timelines down to a science. The day of our wedding went off without a hitch (at least that I am aware of). That's what I call a GREAT day of coordinator. I was never concerned or bothered by things that came up because it was fixed before I even knew about it. She was there for us until the very end which was 1:00 AM and was so attentive and checked in on us often!! LOVE that! By the way, she's so much fun and had a blast singing/dancing along with her and our FAB DJ. Our family and friends fell in love with her as well, that I almost forgot she was my planner. :) In a good way that is. She was extremely professional but was so down to earth, she was like family. She's a friend for life!! I highly recommend her and her team. In conclusion: Do yourself a favor, stop looking and call Veronica for your big day!
