Hawkeye Photo Booths was so great to work with for our wedding reception! First, they worked with…read moreus about a week before to allow us to determine the design of the photo strips. Next, they were completely set up in such a non-distracting way prior to guests arriving. Finally, our on-site attendant was AMAZING! I believe it was Adam, who we were emailing prior to the big day to set everything up. I have been to a number of weddings with photo booths, and usually the attendant just stands outside and doesn't do much of anything. Not this one! He interacted with guests- I loved his spinning wheel that with one group had us acting "flirtatious" in one photo, "muscle-man" in another, etc. He kept the fun going. And, on top of all of this, he was placing a copy of each photo strip into a scrapbook for us, and encouraging our guests to sign it. What a wonderful memento of the night. He also provided us a flashdrive with copies of all photostrips, along with each individual photo. Both the scrapbook and the photos have been very entertaining! Our guests had a great time and loved their photos. In comparison to another vendor, Hawkeye Photo Booths is reasonably priced. The other vendor tried to sell me on the quality of camera- the photos all turned out very clear, and look great. Overall, it was a pleasure to do business with Hawkeye Photo Booths. We definitely recommend them for special events!

The Kirkwood room is a recently opened space for group gatherings. It's a great space that…read moreaccomodates around 100 people and has room for plenty of tables, a dance floor, a small bar and mingling space. The room is pretty standard, but easy to decorate. It fascilitates people moving from one area to another easily and overall was a good place for the surprise party we attended. Plenty of parking outside made it easy to get in and out of and the proximity to downtown made it easy for people to grab cabs home. A good place for just about any event that you're looking to host and pretty reasonable price wise ~ $200 for space rental. You can bring your own alcohol and they've got a kitchen, though you must bring your food pre-cooked. Worth checking out if you're looking for a good space to host an event.

We…read morehad enough space to eat, drink, mingle, dance, play games, and have a great time There is a large room, with a decent kitchen in the back. There is a little outdoor patio by the parking lot. It was easy to fit a buffet, bar, gift table, and tables. There were about 50 people, and we had plenty of space to move around in. I was impressed by how clean everything was, and how easy it all was to clean up at the end of the night.

Joe Murphy is as professional as they get, and while I can't speak to anyone else's opinion, I can…read moreoffer my own experiences. I've played in live bands, run corporate events with over 1000 attendees, and been married, all to the music that Murphy Sound has provided. Even if he's not able to attend himself, he's incredibly selective about the people he trains and employs, and they're careful to help support a party without joining it personally. I've never had an equipment problem - microphone, speaker or otherwise - and the sound has always been loud enough to get people up but quiet enough not to make people deaf. (a rare balance) If you're looking for a party, wedding or a gig (they've done all three for me, including my IMU wedding for 350) Murphy Sound is an excellent and reliable solution. -Aaron Warner IC local, sponsor of IDT's corporate holiday parties, singer in a band and married guy :)
