All right all right…read more I went to one of their affairs a year ago and had a great time. I decided to return almost a year later (too busy to do it sooner) and took two friends. This time it was a "Tour of Scotland" whisky tasting. The whiskies were excellent. They had THREE representatives from Scottish whiskies there to talk about and sample their various whiskies. The folks from 78 Degrees are very good at discussing whisky, but it was extra cool to hear from the representatives in how it's made, the history of the distillery, etc. It was billed as a whisky tasting, but there was a very decent amount of snacks (cheese, salami and grapes) to snack on during the event itself. Since the reps were there, purchasing was possible at the end of the event. It was a fun evening. I hate to say it, but even at my age going to events like this makes me actually feel like a grown up and a teeny bit more sophisticated. They're promising to have many more in the future, and I'll be there!

So here is what happens in these events and what I experienced: Event is usually from 2-3 hours long. 1st 30 mins or so is about networking! You get to socialize with everyone while waiting for the rest of the people to arrive. They give out a drink and an hor d'oeuvre while you wait. After everyone has arrived they move you over to tables and thats when the education begins! They give some alcohol and the guys running the event give you some history of what you are drinking! They then pair the drink with a yummy hors d'oeuvre and then they give you some time discuss with your table an socialize... They repeat this about 3 times.. Reasons why I love 78 degrees: - You get to try some spirits that might be out of your price range.. - You get to sample some yummy alcohol before buying, so next time you want to go buy some alcohol you know exactly what to look for! - They teach you so much about pairing. What works and what doesn't! - The events are affordable. - Awesome reason to get out of the house on a weekday ;) -You learn to actually appreciate alcohol!!!

As someone who plans large company events while juggling a full-time job, I know how stressful it can be to find a space that checks all the boxes: an impressive venue, efficient and friendly staff, ample entertainment options, and reliable vendor connections for everything from catering and music to photo booths, balloons, and even stylish furniture. Club Sportiva delivered on all fronts. Working with Emma, their Event Specialist, was an absolute pleasure. She is a true professional--organized, responsive, and incredibly flexible, even when we needed to make last-minute changes. Emma coordinated seamlessly with all our vendors on the night of the event, managed her team with ease, and regularly checked in with me to ensure everything was running smoothly. She stayed until the very end, making sure every detail was handled and that I, as the planner, could actually enjoy the event too. We hosted over 250 guests, including families with children, and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. In fact, the only complaint I heard was from a child who didn't get one last turn on the car simulator before their parents said it was time to go! Club Sportiva was the perfect choice--elegant, well-organized, and versatile. They helped us plan an unforgettable, fun, and well-executed event within our budget. Emma's expertise and hands-on support made a world of difference. As someone who has planned many corporate events, I can confidently say that working with Emma and the Club Sportiva team was a rare and exceptional experience--and her level of service comes at no additional cost. That kind of value is priceless.

Janey sent us over some catering packages and we finally agreed on a menu. When it came to letting Janey know, she informed me that their tastings were $20 and that they do tastings. After emailing back and forth, Janey told me that they rarely do tastings. How can a consumer trust that their food would be yummy on their wedding day if they aren't able to sample the food? I would be a little worried about possible food poisoning. After several attempts of emailing Janey, and giving both her and the receptionist our availability to schedule a tasting, Janey just stopped communicating all together. I can understand a busy schedule (hello, I work and attend two schools full-time AND am planning a wedding!), but to just simply stop communicating with a potential consumer reflects poorly on a company. A simple email would have at least helped. They were still available to cater our wedding since they claim to have hired someone recently who would be able to assist us. However, if I have to be the one who's always emailing and contacting a company, I think I'll find someone else who would be worth working with and spending our hard earned money on. The photos and presentation are pretty, but that's just it. We hope other couples won't run into this problem when planning their wedding, and I hope this review will help them in understanding that customer service goes A LONG WAY!

Angela is the event coordinator was thorough, sincere me, organized, punctual, and very accommodating. I felt at ease and comfortable the moment I met her. When I saw the space, it looked like a general banquet room, nothing spectacular however, I was proven wrong when the decorations, chairs, and lighting transformed this room into a beautiful place for my 2 friends to get married. My friends decided to have the ceremony there as well as the reception. Scottish Rite Center pretty much supplied us w/ everything for the guests' dining experience: plates, utensils, holding trays, glasses, champagne glasses, pitchers, ice - basically everything you might need to serve over 200 guests, this place has it. My friend had a vision of where things should go and etc. but thanks to Angela's advices, suggestions.. my friend used her expertise to finalize the big day. My friend did not need to hire servers or dishwashers... Angela coordinated everything w/ her staff so that everything from refilling the water to serving the eclairs were prompt, never leaving the guests asking for additional requests. We used the kitchen to prep and to hold the food and beverages. Security staff were all friendly and very strict even though my friend's sister's husband followed me to the car to retrieve their belongings. He was just carrying a cup of ice water and they wouldn't even allow him to take it w/ him. But my overall interaction w/ the security guys were positive. Slowly towards the end time, Angela and her staff worked tirelessly to store the leftovers and to clean here and there w/o giving any impression that we were rushed. I majored in hospitality so what I witnessed was a positive experience. Not only Angela was there on the day of, she was basically the server, busser, janitorial; everything.

The rings were found! He hurried back and we made our grand entrance. After we parted, I waited w/ the other bridesmaids and started crying when Christina, my best friend walked in. The music changed... it is happening. The memories of taking her to Fuddruckers after her now ex cheated on her came back to me. The memories of her helping me w/ Gavin came to mind. Seriously. This girl changed her work schedule just so I can finish my semester. Not just her but the groom were always there for me w/o physically being there for me, even when I was MIA. They listened to me and they advised me as well. All their assumptions w/ my love life was right.... they need to meet and approved the next guy, haha. All jokes aside... 2 great individuals marrying each other was awesome to witness. I'm honored to be a part of it. It was only yesterday that Christina and I were making peanut butter burgers... her complaining that Enrique will never propose. He sure did. He invited family and friends over - no one knew but he proposed to her in the most romantic way ever. I'm super happy for them. Thank you, Angela! I had a blast doing the cat walk w/ my partner and met some great ass people whom are now my friends. What's next? A BBQ at Enrique planned by Marley and/or deep fried Twinkies w/ the gang.

What's advertised: * A structured, beginner-friendly bartending course *Professional environment *Hands-on training with proper materials *Certification upon completion What I actually experienced: The class was held inside a storage unit. Not a bar. Not a classroom. A storage room (see photos). The environment was dirty and unprofessional, and one of the juices provided had visible mold, which is completely unacceptable for anything involving food or beverages. Several basic ingredients (like cranberry and orange juice) were missing, so we were told to substitute with whatever was available. The class was supposed to run from 7pm-11pm but ended early around 10:20pm, and there was no legitimate certification test, despite that being advertised. Most of the time was spent casually making drinks with very little structured instruction. This did not feel like a real training course. It gets worse: Photos taken during the class were later edited with what appears to be an AI-generated bar background to make it look like students are learning in a professional bar setting. That is NOT what the actual environment looks like. On top of that, the certificate I received was issued with an incorrect date from a previous year, which raises concerns about the legitimacy of the certification itself. To be clear, the instructor was kind but the overall experience does not reflect a $440 professional program in any way.

These conditions do not meet basic sanitation or public health standards and may constitute violations of local health and safety regulations. Additionally, when participants attempted to document these conditions, photos were reportedly taken or concealed, which raises concerns about transparency and accountability. Despite paying over $440 for certification, the program failed to provide a professional or safe learning environment. Furthermore, the certificate I received contains an incorrect date (off by one year), calling into question its validity and the integrity of the program's recordkeeping. Given the totality of these issues--including unsanitary conditions, potential health code violations, lack of proper instruction, and inaccurate certification documentation. I believe this matter warrants further investigation. I'am asking for my money back !
