I used Party Belles to plan my sons Bar Mitzvah party which was this past Saturday. Amy and Leah…read morewere WONDERFUL!!! 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!!!

Back in May 2013, Brian and I entered a competition hosted by Taylor & Hov called "The Great Bridal…read moreScavenger Hunt". This competition was a scavenger hunt where ten couples competed to win a $50,000 wedding. Taylor & Hov worked together to have their favorite vendors contribute their services. To our shock and surprise, WE WON! Following our win, Taylor & Hov designed and executed the perfect wedding for us. Not only did it provide us the opportunity to work with some of the best vendors in DC, but Taylor & Hov's creative talents far exceeded our expectations. When we first started our wedding planning, we had only a vague idea of what we wanted. Despite this, Sugar was able to create an event which really spoke to our personalities. We spoke to her about our mutual love of music, and she found a way to incorporate this into every aspect of the day, with programs made of records and place settings created out of cassette tapes. Moreover, during our highest stress moments, Sugar and Nar saved the day with their eagerness to help with both large and small details, from changing the venue at the last minute to putting together a signature cocktail that our guests still won't stop talking about. All in all, Taylor & Hov gave us a better wedding than we could have ever hoped for, and for that we are so grateful! Thanks Sugar and Nar!

We stopped to dine at Bluestone once again on our way up 83 N…read more They offer a Sunday special, which is a three course option. You can choose any soup or greens, an entrée, and then dessert. It was very tempting, however, we were only ordering for lunch. To start they gave us a warm, crusty rolls, which were yummy. Hubby enjoyed a bowl of Maryland crab soup and the shrimp salad wrap, and I had a chicken and avocado salad, which was fresh, delicious, and enormous. I took half of it home for lunch tomorrow! Cage was a great server. Both personable and attentive. This is a large, clean restaurant with a nice clean bathroom as well as a full bar. Lots of private spaces for a larger party as well. Employees were all very friendly. Definitely not our last time here!

Sunday 5pm Fathers Day…read more Server : Jake We were on our way to Hampden for ice cream but missed our exit and landed in Timonium. The first place that came to mind was Bluestone. It was busy because of the holiday but Bluestone has a lot of seating. I asked the 3 girls at the front for a table with good lighting. The hostess didn't hesitate and we were seated immediately. There was a Fathers Day special of 2 separate entrees . Our Server Jake told us the Steak was sold out . That's pretty good for them. Sounds like I should try the steak another day if they have it. I wanted a small plate and Jake gave me 3 recommendations: BANG bang shrimp, mini crab cakes, & Crab Spinach dip. I ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp and the beet salad. This was another "live in the moment" dinner for me. I am deciding to be more deliberate about enjoying my food and not taking as many pics. Everyone on Yelp has the same pics of the same food. The beet salad was so good. Very appealing plate. The Bang Bang Shrimp were swimming in sauce but still tasty. I really wanted to try a new red wine Jake recommendations were : JEZEBEL & Alta Pavina. I chose the Alta Pavina (a high alcohol content you may only need 1). I wasn't feeling like a Jezebel on Sunday and decided to wait for a Friday night for that red wine.

My Husband and I worked with Ace of Events for our April 2016 wedding. From the moment we sat down…read morewith Ani & Anjali, we knew that we had found "our" Event Planners to help make sure our wedding weekend was nothing but perfect. Not only was it immediately clear that they possessed the hard skills & work ethics we were looking for in a planner (they are organized, communicative, and knowledgeable about south Asian vendors), but they also made it their first priority to truly understand who we were as individuals, as a couple, and what we were looking for in order for our event to be perfect in our eyes. Ani worked closely with Husband and I to make sure everything was set in place for our wedding weekend. Because of his dedication to us our wedding really reflected our personalities - it ended up being exactly what my husband and I dreamed of. And because of this, we have the Ace of Events team to thank for creating something so deeply personal. We'd heard horror stories about wedding planners from family and friends but with Ace of Events - not only did they exceed our expectations but we actually had so much fun throughout the wedding weekend working with them. My husband and I are extremely picky with how we like things done, but Ani really handled all of the craziness we threw their way with so much kindness. While we must have asked a trillion questions, had to make last minute venue changes due to weather, and much more, Ace of Events was so patient with us and really guided us in a way that all of these tasks created no stress. On the day of our wedding we were hit with multiple curve balls, but Ani always took the upper hand and made it his responsibility to handle everything for us so we (the bride, groom & our families) wouldn't have to stress anything. The wedding weekend was everything we envisioned, and more. I want to end this review by saying, I have no complaints about Ace of Events, they were beyond amazing that even our guests recognized their hard work and were surprised of how well and smoothly they handled everything. Thank you Ave of Events for everything you've done - we would definitely recommend you to anyone who is looking to have the perfect event without any added stress!!

My kids did the pony ride literally 2 rounds (they wanted to keep going) then they had about 10 minutes in the petting zoo. That costs me around $60 & they do not take credit cards.
