I submitted a request through Yelp to find face painters and David responded quickly. The…read moreinformation and additional services sealed the deal. Upon arrival, set up was easy, prepared, and early. Super friendly service offered but even better was the face painting! The art on faces was so good and was completed in an efficient time to move multiple people for the large event. I would highly recommend this company and support this local business.

I would not recommend Magic by David based on my experience…read more When I first spoke with him about a month before the event, he quoted $300 for the magic show and mentioned an additional $75 for balloon twisting and face painting. I confirmed the $300 and told him I would decide later about the add-ons. He also asked for a $27 booking fee, assuring me that it would be deducted from the total amount. About three weeks later, I called to inform him that I did not want the add-ons. He insisted that I must take them, saying that his assistant would be present for the entire duration and that the package could not be changed. Since the difference was $75, I agreed. He mentioned that with taxes, the total would be $396,--which he had never mentioned before that their will be tax--and requested that payment be made in cash, Cash App or via Venmo, which I found unusual. On the day of the birthday party, as soon as he arrived, he demanded $396 before bringing in his setup. I reminded him that I had already paid a $27 booking fee, but he refused to deduct it, saying that the Booking fee was separate. I ended up paying the full $396 anyway. He had promised a one-hour interactive show to keep all the kids engaged. However, the magic show lasted only about 40 minutes, and the face painter stopped after 30 minutes, leaving several kids disappointed. Altogether, the entire performance was over in less than 40 minutes, far short of what was promised.I've attended several other birthday parties with magicians, and they always allowed all the kids to touch the animals. However, this magician only let the birthday girl and her sister touch the animals, which made other kids unhappy. Additionally, I noticed unprofessional behavior. The tissue roll I had refilled in the morning went missing, and I later saw it with the magician. After the event, it vanished (the magician took it away with him). He was also seen peeking into the children's gifts, even holding one of the return gifts and curiously looking inside, which made me uncomfortable. Overall, this experience was very disappointing. The service was unprofessional, misleading, and not worth the amount charged. I would strongly advise others not to hire Magic by David for their events.

There's not really too much in the way of shopping -- a nursery, a cute two-story store with accessories, a cafe, a bookstore -- but the atmosphere is really inviting. Fearrington has several venues for events, including the main house, the Barn (which sometimes even partners up with McIntyre's for open-to-the-public author events), and smaller meeting rooms. So in addition to weddings, it's a good place for corporate functions. Lots of neighborhoods in Fearrington, too. If it's in your price-range and you don't mind the commute, it's a beautiful place to live. There's even a lake with surrounding trails.

I looked through their whole website because the people who work at Fearrington put a lot of love and work into the place. I didn't get to dine anywhere, but they have a restaurant and I think a take&go place. I could spend HOURS in the bookstore. My niece and nephew got to hear a story on Halloween. THe place was covered in pumpkin carvings and turnip carvings hanging from trees! SO cute. If I ever plan on getting married, this would definitely be an ideal spot for a reception, and possibly a ceremony. I've read about the Barn, and it was featured in the Today show. This would be a dream spot for any bride, I would think. Can't wait to go back when they light up for the holidays!!

I am excited for any opportunity to partner with them for corporate events, which typically run over multiple days. They do a fantastic job at listening to the chatter in the room to make each meal better for our guest. The service is never short of excellent and the meals always have a taste of "home cooking". They put the "extra special" into every menu item, whether it is a special ingredient or the need to cater to vegans and vegetarians. I have partnered with them on at least three events to date. This last event, I called somewhat desperately because I didn't receive much notice. I didn't look at their menus, I simply provided my vision and let them run with it. Four days of meals and all were different -- breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks over four days! I trusted them explicitly because they have never let me down. They continually make me look good, and I feel like I can promise they will do the same for your next event. If you have not tried Chefella's yet, my only question is... What are you waiting for???

Myesha handled every single part of our wedding day to perfection. That included buy is not limited to, working with caterers, dj, venue staff, pastor, wedding party etc.. To coordinating the busing of the wedding guests to and from the facility, picking up and delivering the cake, coordinating with the photographers and so on . You name it she was a part of it. She took care of everything that my wife and I needed as well as the things we never knew we needed. I would recommend her for anyone who is getting married or having an event and needs someone to coordinate things. She is so nice, so easy to work with, and all of our vendors could not stop talking about her. When anyone asked me anything on my wedding day, I said "ask Myesha" and she took care of it. Myesha even packed all of our stuff up that we brought to the venue that we may have forgotten, even the rest of our wedding cake. COME ON NOW!! I can't even put into words how much of a blessing she is. Take it from me. You Need HER!!
