He helped us with pipe & drape for our happy hour space as well as a custom gobo projector for our dance floor. Both turned out perfectly and added such a polished, elegant touch to the overall atmosphere. Everything went flawlessly on the day of, and their team handled everything seamlessly behind the scenes so we didn't have to worry about a thing. If you're looking for reliable, high-quality event production with top-notch service, we highly recommend David and the team at A Posh Production!

I just attended the 1920's Murder Mystery Martini Party this past weekend with a few of my friends…read moreand my boyfriend, and we had a BLAST! First, I want to say thank you to TopAct for helping me get 3 additional tickets so I could bring my friends along, I reached out to Oliver after seeing the event was sold out, and he was able to open the ticket sale back up for me so I could grab the additional tickets!! We were absolutely ecstatic!! The planning process is very well put together! We got our character sheets over a week in advance, which made it easy to start planning our outfits and get in character. Along with the character sheet was an overview of the murder as well as a list of suspects. I was very impressed by the detail that TopAct went into for the characters and event! You don't just get a name with a few clues, you get a whole page of information about your character that really helps you give the character depth, and you don't have to create a whole backstory yourself. Walking into the event, I was immediately impressed! The Martini Room was a great venue, and the decorations they placed (along with the dead body) really helped it feel 'on theme'. I could go on about how fun the event was, but I'll keep it relatively brief. The planning was fantastic, the TopAct reps guided us all through the evening and ensured we were mingling, talking, and looking for clues. I played one of the suspects, and it was probably the most fun to be one so if you have the chance, I recommend it :) They wrapped up the evening very well, and the murder was not incredibly easy to solve - which was great! It made you think, and not everyone was able to get the right answer in the end so it wasn't something you could solve in 10 minutes. Overall, a massive 5 stars to TopAct - I highly recommend!!!

My husband and I attended our first murder mystery dinner…read morelast night at a very cool speakeasy in Evanston. It did not disappoint, so much fun! We were given instructions/character sketches prior to the event so that we were ready to assume our characters as soon as we arrived. Most of the guests had wonderful 1920's attire on and were really involved in interacting with one another. The more people played their part, the more fun it became. The storyline was interesting to follow (and be a part of) as we worked to solve the mystery. Would definitely recommend for a fun night out as a date or with a group of friends.

What a fun performer. I came across him at the Park Ridge Kiwanis annual pancake breakfast, where…read morehe was doing some entertaining mostly for the kids but definitely for the adults as well. It's through him that I heard of the Central Street Busker Festival that took place the next day and his line was loooong! Most recently, we went to his show last week that the Mt. Prospect Public Library held for spring break. That was very very well attended, with a long line of folks waiting to get in (and that's with all of us registered to attend!), but the show was a lot of fun. He did a little magic, a little comedy, and some fun balloon tricks. This guy has been doing this all his adult life--unless that's also a joke and part of his act--but regardless, he's great at his job. I'm looking forward to seeing him again and my little one having the chance to pick her balloon creation on her own.

He is one less thing at your party you need to worry about because he is a sure thing! Truly, he is a whole family favorite!!

I highly recommend avoiding this company that is deceptive, lies, and does not respond. RE: Business Owner's Reply- I do not know how you are surprised after ignoring me multiple times when I was ready to move forward with reviewing a contract. You ignored me over 2 weeks and we had a professional relationship. You also gave me 3 Wedding Venues that you said you are "preferred vendor" for, without me asking. I checked all 3 of them and you clearly lied to me. Also, Tony, you response to my review says "some of our reviews tells you that our customers were referred by their venues". This is factually incorrect of your Yelp reviews. I checked all 80 of them. None do. Another lie here.

Could not have nicer things to say about working with My Chef and Jamie Walsh for our wedding day…read morecatering. We met Jamie at our venue's vendor expo and were immediately impressed by their services, pricing, and vast food offerings. It was a no brainer to book with their group! We had our tasting a couple months before our wedding day; which is complimentary to the couple and a $50 charge for any additional guest to join. They have you select 8-10 appetizers, 2 salads, and 4 entrees to taste at their Naperville location. They also have displays of china, silverware, glasses and more to help couples select what aligns aesthetically for their special day. Jamie worked with us to make small modifications to their standard offerings to make the food exactly what we wanted! Our wedding day came and we were floored by the quality/presentation of food, level of detail in place settings, and service from all staff members. We had multiple guests say that this was some of the best wedding food they've had, steaks were not over cooked, and food tasted fresh. Jamie also let us add desserts a week out to reallocate money from a couple of guests who last minute were unable to attend. Their team was even nice enough to service items not purchased through their group: disposables for the late night snack, display and refilling of cupcakes, etc. Overall, their group went above and beyond for us under Jamie's leadership. Our tables looked great, our food was wonderful, and their team was fabulous. We truly appreciate all they've done for us and could not recommend them more!

We most recently hired Stacey for our daughter's bat mitzvah. From the very first meeting, she was creative, resourceful, and on top of all aspects of the party. Nothing was halfway. Even when I, long since tired of the planning process, declared something "good enough," Stacey came up with something better, a wow-factor that didn't stretch the budget. On the evening of the event, I didn't do a thing. Stacey never stopped moving, never missed a thing, and when it did occur to me to check on things, Stacey beat me to it by showing up with an update. What sets Stacey apart from the myriad event planners on the north shore is her range, adaptability and accessibility. She can do a lovely, refined bridal shower at the country club just as meticulously as a loud, techno party in a loft space. She never makes you feel like you need to spend more or do more than you'd planned. She doesn't push ideas. Stacey's so very fun and easy to work with, such an authentic person, it feels like planning a party with your best girlfriend, the one who knows all the best places and picks out the best centerpieces and has an amazing little source for favors that no one else has used - and is just as excited as you are about making it a great event.

I won't ruin it, but I will say it was definitely fun and there was some intensity to it. While it utilized VR headsets, tt definitely was not a full VR experience. You interact with the game on the walls. There was an option to purchase beverages during the experience which we did not do. After the ad popped up a few times it got to be a little annoying. It was just the two of us so we were able to do each game repeatedly, which made it even more fun because it allowed us to figure out how to solve the puzzles. Because of that I wouldn't suggest going with more than four or five people. Overall, I would say it was worth the trip to Oakbrook.

During the height of Common Core alignment and standardized test season, my school district planned…read morean institute day. In case you don't already know this, let me fill you in... the last thing a teacher wants during this time of year is another meeting. B-Well was the company contracted for this meeting... yikes! If, to teachers, the month of March is the equivalent to hitting "the Wall" at mile 18 of a marathon, luckily, B-Well is the energy-infused sports drink needed to help power through. The event took place in my building and, in a matter of minutes after school, event organizers somehow magically transformed a building that usually smells like teen spirit into a special-feeling space. Goodie bags, music, local businesses, and a palpable buzz helped set the stage for fitness. Instead of sitting in some uncomfortable chair listening to a speaker lecture me on the importance of how fitness is shown to reduce workplace stress or instead of doing yet another ice-breaker designed to get me talking to my colleagues, B-Well organizers transported me out of my workplace and into "me space". When I walked into my self-selected activity, I felt like I was taking care of myself and not just fulfilling some work obligation. We got right down to the business of working out and just like that, I gained an energizing hour that day. Instead of heading to the gym after the meeting, I was able to head home feeling renewed and refreshed. That NEVER happens after a standard institute day. Teaching is a grueling profession. From the time you walk into school in the morning until the time you leave, you are running non- stop. Questions, planning, grading, strategizing, managing... you barely have time to eat lunch much less sit down with colleagues and share some conversation. The B-Well event my school hosted obviously allowed me the opportunity to get in a workout but it also gave me unexpected colleague time. More than one laugh was shared over my lack of coordination, encouraging words were exchanged when the workout offered a challenge, and it was refreshing to see everyone trying something new. Interestingly, this collegiality extended well beyond the institute day. I noticed at our next team meeting people were still buzzing over the B-Well day. New-found common ground helped ease agendas that might otherwise have had an edge to them. Thanks, B-Well, for providing my colleagues and me with more than you promised.
