After my first meeting with Amy, I felt totally comfortable and at ease with having her plan everything. Communication was top notch. The entertainment company and venue she found for us was PERFECT! We did a casino themed party. The entertainment company which provided the casino games was very professional but at the same time down to earth and talkative with the guests. All the dealers were great and social. Everyone enjoyed all the table games and slot machines. The table set up and centerpieces - Amy created and they were AWESOME! Totally blown away with how expensive and great everything looked. She had every detailed planned for and prepared. When we walked through the doors (some 20 minutes early), everything was already set up and ready. It really was a beautiful and fun event. My son loved it! I would recommend anyone looking for a party planner to look no further than Amy. She took care of everything.

What a lifesaver Party Belles was! My planner, Erin, was an absolute joy to work with. She was…read moreefficient and incredibly organized. She was on board with my ideas from the start and constantly was a sounding board for new ideas. She helped rein in my outlandish plans and she helped achieve my absolutely perfect day. We even had to adapt because one décor project was struggling, she found a different way to make it work. My stress level the day of was non-existent because I knew Erin and her team would have everything ready to go! I signed off for the month of planner; that month of planning services for my June wedding really started in November/December. We had multiple planning meetings and constant communication. It was worth every penny and if I had to do my day over, I'd definitely hire Erin and her belles again!!!

We went to Laserdome for their "Deck The Holograms" augmented reality holiday experience, and…read morehonestly, it was such a delight! Picture this: you step inside a life-sized holographic North Pole, wearing lightweight AR glasses, tossing virtual snowballs, collecting ornaments, helping Santa save Christmas, and discovering festive surprises along the way. It's part game, part holiday movie, and all-around magical. From their website: "Deck the Holograms is a family-friendly augmented reality adventure that transports you inside a life-sized holographic North Pole...an unforgettable shared experience for families, friends, and believers of all ages." Yup, it's exactly that -- and it totally lives up to the hype. We did the experience as a pair, and it was so much fun together. Plus, we got 3 hours of free arcade play included with our tickets for $34.99 per person, which honestly feels like a steal. We even spent a little time in the arcade before jumping into the AR adventure, which was a nice warm-up. The story itself was surprisingly thoughtful -- it made us reflect on being present in the moment during the holidays instead of getting lost in our phones. It's playful, immersive, and yes, totally enjoyable for 40+ year olds too. Plenty of parking, plenty of space to move around, and the whole experience is cozy and warm inside -- perfect for a chilly December night. We booked our tickets from the parking lot on the last Friday before Christmas and had no trouble snagging the 8pm time slot we wanted. Overall, it's a low-impact, warm, immersive, and joyful way to celebrate the season. If you're looking for something different, memorable, and just plain fun, do yourself a favor and check out Deck The Holograms -- you won't regret it!

It not really set up as an indoor playground with like a jungle gym or that sort of thing... it's really about pretend play or using smaller toys in the various playhouses. The area was a bit small maybe since adults couldn't easily enter the smaller playhouses...the birthday area looked really cool, though. Didn't really love the need for a gift shop and various toys/candy/etc. on display right in the front for all the kids to see! Otherwise, we had a fun playtime there. :)

She had such a good time!!!! The facility is very clean, staff was so nice and extremely helpful with explaining different rules. They have little "cubbies" to place your shoes in, you must wear socks while being inside the facility. They have restrooms and changing tables for little ones. They also have training potties for those that are potty training. There is an area that they do birthday parties and I've read about the different events they do as well. Such a fun indoor playground with so many "hands on" things for kids to do!!! It's so nice to see that this area, Hanover, has a facility like this!!!! You can bring your own items for snacking/drinking, but they also sell items there and even have a coffee bar for adults. There is plenty of parking! It was only $15 for my granddaughter and myself, which allowed an unlimited time to play. The price includes 1 adult to enter with the child. We will definitely return! Sophia had a blast

I really had a great time here with my family. We came here with my two kids, ages 7 and 4 at the…read moretime of the visit and everyone had a blast. To start, the customer service was very strong. Staff were friendly and willing to answer my questions especially in regards to what my youngest kid couldn't/couldn't do. We came here on a Sunday morning and it was not crowded at all. This place is especially great for kids 11 and under, which was perfect since my kids could really do whatever they wanted since there were no crowds. My kids loved the obstacle course and spent forever on it. It's fenced in, and everything is well protected. It also appears to be very-well maintained. We also did the go-carts, which was perfect for my kids. My daughter sat with my wife as a passenger (she's only charged $3 because she can't drive as opposed to the full fee). These are electric go-carts and don't accelerate much, making it very safe for kids who are learning. My son, who is 48 inches could drive on his own and the reduced speed of typical go-cards made learning perfect for him. We also did quite a few laps in 5 minutes. I do think, however, that if they were 12 or older, it wouldn't have been as much fun since again, it's a bit slow compared to typical go-carts. The arcade was fine. Standard arcade stuff. Prices were on the higher end and there wasn't much diversity (there were way too many claw machines IMO). $10 gets you about 5 games, which again, seems high. We did not eat any of the food since we were there before lunch and the options seemed like low-quality arcade food. We also did not do the virtual reality or laser tag this trip. We would definitely return.

Really my biggest complaint about this place is the price for the arcade games are ridiculous and…read morethe prizes aren't worth what you spend to try and win them. Food is okay but you're not going here for the food. Now if you're a Rita's fan they have one inside that's open year round, unlike the main Rita's places. They have decent packages for mini golf, go karts and laser tag. Plus they always have coupons in the Clipper magazine. I've taken my daughter to two different birthday parties here and both felt rushed. If there are several parties going on at the same time the party planners get the times mixed up which eats into your party time. So that needs planned better. I know it's high school kids as staff so you have to expect some hiccups and for the most part they are trying their best. Both party planners we've had were super nice and really seemed to enjoy what they're doing. All and all for a fun family night of mini golf, go karts and some ice cream this place is awesome. Just keep your kids away from the arcade area. For the little kids there is also a really nice climb/tube area for them to get out some energy.

i wanted to refinish a small landing in my house so i rented an edging sander from A&R. I bought…read moreabout 15 pieces of sandpaper with the promise that they would buy back any unused pieces. I started using the machine and discovered there was a hole in the dust bag that had been taped closed. The tape was coming off and sawdust started shooting all over. that's problem 1. Problem 2: pieces of sandpaper started tearing while i was using them. I wasted about 4 pieces. When i returned the machine I mentioned these two issues. One of the people there said it was my fault the paper tore. (not sure of his reasoning) However, another of the staff looked at the paper and said quite definitively that the paper ripped because the height of the wheels was set improperly and too much of the paper was rubbing on the floor. I had also brought back one completely unused piece of sandpaper. I asked for some kind of credit for the torn pieces and the fact that the machine was not working as intended, and i had sawdust everywhere. the person in charge was completely unwilling to do anything. He said the manage would be in "next week" and call me. He didn't even give me the dollar back for the one unused piece. I'm still waiting for the call. NOT A CHANCE I WILL EVER RENT FROM THEM AGAIN.

Our daughter wanted to have a "teen nightclub" themed dance party for her 14th birthday! At that age it's really challenging to find a venue for a great party that is safe and supervised, but also, crazy fun! Rachael helped us put together a party that was the "talk of the school" event! Everyone was buzzing about this party! Rachael, with the help of some other fantastic companies, like LEO party rentals, and BELLY caterers put together a very reasonably priced and very trendy dance party for Emma and her friends. It was so easy to plan, and even easier to sit back and enjoy the kids having a fantastic time! We couldn't have planned this terrific event without her! Rachael helped us coordinate with everyone. She sat down with me to brainstorm many times before the party, and took care of everything. The tiniest of details were covered! All of the event was kept within a very reasonable budget! We would also like to send a thank you out to the Goggleworks for their terrific, and very trendy "loft" like room, for the party location. The dj " DJ JG" John Gosselin was also a fantastic addition to the party! He knew exactly what music the kids wanted to hear. Everyone danced the entire night! Thank you Rachael for making this night so memorable for Emma, and us too! If your thinking of planning a party for your teenage daughter you should contact Rachael! She will really impress you!
