I have never heard of this place until my daughter was recently invited to attend a Descendants…read morethemed birthday party here by one of her girlfriends from school. We parked nearby in a parking lot that's free on weekends. Upon entering we were immediately greeted by a staff member and handed her our gift. My daughter sat down in a circle with the rest of the kids talking with Joy (the name of the manager. I found this out because my daughter will be having a birthday party here soon and she helped me plan my event) The party was hosted by Joy and her assistant, a younger girl. They both seemed very enthusiastic and energetic. They tried their best getting all the kids (boys and girls) engaged in their activities, making wishes, story telling, dressing up, twirling, and even a parade around the whole place. Boys were given options of "boy " costumes ; Spider-Man, firefighter, etc. Girls had a wide array of pretty dresses to choose from. As soon as I saw how happy my daughter was during all of this, I knew she would probably be asking me to have her party here as well. (And I was right!) the party was 2 hours long but seemed to fly by. It was adorable watching all the children use their imaginations and just have so much fun. After checking out their website and emailing Joy, I realized they have so many different options as far as party themes go ..from LOL dolls, unicorns, all the Disney princesses you can think of to basically anything. You can even include a tea party. We are going with an Elsa/Frozen theme and fingers crossed I hope our party will turnout as great as the one we attended. I am not the best host, and this will be my first year having a birthday party completely hosted by strangers that I'm paying lol. Now I don't have to worry about cleaning my place for days, setting up, cleaning up after the party, coming up with fun games, and when the times up everyone leaves. I'm hoping it will be an unforgettable experience. Joy was very easy to talk to during the meet up. They take a $75 deposit from you and then they customize invitations for you which you can just print out at home. We went over all the details and she was patient with my questions and concerns. Now I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that I get some rsvps back soon:) it's $395 for 10 kids but that's just the base price for the two hour party. 20 kids max. I think they also have an option for a shorter party for a little less. It's $15 per additional child and includes pizza and paper products. You have the option of bringing in your own napkins which I will be supplying. Elsa themed everything is what my daughter requested, so Elsa themed everything is what she will get) there are so many add ons. Each child will be doing an art project. Super hero themed one for the boys and unicorn headbands for the girls. Someone dressed as Elsa will be attending and hosting the second half of the party which is an additional $119. My daughter also wanted Ariel to attend but I was advised that it would be a clash with the two princesses. I'm glad they were honest with me instead of just throwing a mermaid costume on another employee just to rake in some extra bucks. I am happy to pay whatever if they do a good job! They also can paint nails which is 5.95 per child. If you want each kid to have a balloon that will be $1.50 per child. Also added on a birthday banner. There were so many options I could sign up for I don't even remember what I signed up for lol. No outside balloons permitted. I was told I can bring in water bottles for adults and additional food if I wanted to. They will be supplying the pizza. Any extra pizzas will be 12.95 per pizza. That's a great deal for a pizza, I hope it's not frozen Ellios pizza. Juice boxes are provided for the kids. They have an option where they can give the kids each a goodie bag for 5.95 each. I wanted to add my own personalized touch so I will be making my own goodie bags which they do allow. I enjoy doing things like this, it's a lot of fun for me. When I asked how early should I arrive the day of the party, I was told to come no earlier than 10 minutes before the start time of the party with the cake and my child I was a little surprised. They promised me I'm in good hands and I'm really excited/anxious/nervous/happy We are all booked and ready for the party day.

Some of them we knew we could pull off and others we had no idea how we were gong to make them happen. Then, to make things more complicated and difficult, we had a series of difficult/unfortunate/sad events that occurred back to back that "took the wind out of our sails" and if it wasn't for Sara our big day would have never turned out the way we dreamed it. Sure it would have still be amazing because in the last few weeks before your wedding you turn into a super hero that deflects all negativity lol but in our case that super hero was Sara. Her and the rest of her amazing team swooped in to save the day and not only executed all the ideas we had but Sara had several amazing ideas and changes that we had never thought of, such as the lace table runners, our amazing DIY photo booth and during a last minute rain storm came to my wife's rescue by offering up her own rain boots! : ) Sara is super kind and truly a professional.

I've been on the fence about writing this review as I see the owner/manager replies to bad reviews…read moreand I truly don't want to engage him, but want others to know the poor experience we had to help others. As was the case with countless others, I had a November 2020 wedding scheduled that was impacted by the pandemic lockdown. That's not anyone's fault. However. The client service from the manager/owner John is abhorrent. (The event coordinators are kind and very responsive.) We'd made deposits, and were scheduled to make another -- literally, I had optimistically send out save the dates -- but the city still had restrictions on how many people could gather in the space. My contract was for 130 people. When I reached out to Arts Ballroom to discuss the way forward, thinking that they MUST have some kind of action plan about how they were going to move forward with existing contracts and triage, there was nothing. No plan. No mitigation strategy. No flexibility to bump the date. Just an expectation of payment for my contracted amount. We asked to move the date to 2021. John told us no, because our Nov. 2020 date would be considered lost revenue because it's a date he could've sold to someone else. This was illogical -- if the city wouldn't let us gather in 2020, he wouldn't have been able to sell the date to ANYONE. That was the whole point -- we were trying to get ahead of what was very obviously inevitable: we weren't going to be able to host anything in 2020, and rather than proceed as planned -- spending all kinds of money on vendors and invitations, only for Arts Ballroom to call us THIRTY DAYS BEFORE to reschedule (yes, they were only alerting to reschedule 30 days out) we wanted to be proactive and get ahead of it. For those keeping score at home: you send wedding invitations 6 to 8 weeks out. Make it make sense. We even offered extra money to move the date for for peace of mind -- our primary concern was exposure to people who were at risk -- no dice. No dice and no action plan. But he did ask us if we wanted to just buy a new 2021 date! Ha. He then cockily talked through *his* obligations to the bank which -- I'm sorry, but I'm a paying customer. His business dealings are not my business--apply for small business pandemic support or something. His responsibility is to his customers, but I guess not. It's also telling that his business had no cash reserves so he had to hold folks' feet to the fire this way. Needless to say, we canceled and lost a significant deposit. In hindsight, it was a small price to pay to not have to work with his clueless arrogance. (He was very confident, despite saying he didn't watch the news, that the pandemic would clear up by our date.) I was walking a dog with a friend this weekend, and happened in front of the venue where I saw someone casually smoking crack on the corner across the street. I chuckled and took it as a sign.

The minute I walked into my wedding, I was truly floored. When I booked the Fillmore for my big day, I didn't know what to do re florals. I'd always pictured doing whites and light colors for my wedding, but I knew this particular space called for something more vibrant...though I had no idea what. Fortunately, Vito knew exactly what to do. He showed me things, asked questions, and helped me figure out what I didn't even know I wanted. He made the space feel so alive, so inviting, and so festive. It's been weeks since I got my wedding photos, and I still look at photos of the "epic" (Vito's word!) chuppah he designed every day. I'm obsessed, and my husband is too. Bottom line: If you want a florist who is patient, funny, and kind, someone who asks you smart questions, AND someone who understands what you want even when you don't, choose Vito and his team at Xtraordinary designs.
