The Great Highway is a unique venue in San Carlos that features classic cars and an old-timey sock-hop-era vibe. We are obsessed. From the venue floor, to the pinball games on the second floor (with casino games and setup as WELL.. gotta bring in your own dealers etc. for that), a mic and music setup with popped popcorn for our guests.. oh did I also mention there's a whole DINER that you can rent and have your caterers make shakes and floats?! I was born in '92 but this venue has me wishing I was around in the 50's. Roz was incredibly thoughtful and knowledgeable about how we should throw our holiday party. We brought in a third party caterer but everything else was so seamless and efficient on the ground. Junior and The Great Highway staff are so hospitable I wouldn't hesitate to refer anyone here or even throw next year's party here ..

I love to chill out on a Sunday afternoon, here at Laurel Street Arts. The place gets busy as…read morethere are lots of fun, creative people looking for a place like this to express themselves. You look around and find what you want to paint, pick and choose your colors, brushes and water bowls to clean your brushes. Find a comfortable spot to start and then do it. I find each time I go I do better and I tap into my divine, creative self. I have two to three hours to get 3 or 4 layers of paint to make a deep expression of myself as an artist. I recommend this place to be yourself and do something for yourself that makes you happy. The staff is great and you will have a good time.

Cherry on Top truly came through for us! I reached out to Kelly just two days before my client's…read moreevent because we were in a bit of a scramble and needed someone to help with setup, serving during the party, and clean-up. Even though that's not what Kelly usually does (she plans and manages full events), she was incredibly kind and willing to help anyway. She sent one of her assistants, Alicia, and honestly, she was a lifesaver. Alicia was fantastic ,she showed up ready to help, jumped in wherever we needed her, took initiative, and stayed until the very last guest left. She made everything feel easy and handled it all with such calm and warmth. Next time, I'll definitely be reaching out to have her handle the full event, decor, crafts, games, the whole thing. So thankful for their support and can't recommend them enough!

The flowers were in perfect bloom, looked fresh, and smelled wonderful. Cary went above and beyond to bringing my wife's vision to life for our wedding.

Cary picked just the right colors and we immediately fell in love with all the bouquets. Cary was always friendly and responded in a timely manner; whether it was an email or a phone call.

From start to finish, Megan made the experience exceptional and completely stress-free. She took the time to review our preferences and coordinate all the details well before the event, so when the day arrived, all we had to do was show up and celebrate. I was truly amazed by Megan's ability to juggle a million roles at once -- seamlessly acting as maître d', DJ, ringmaster, custodian, safety officer, and more -- all with effortless grace. I also loved that the children were safely contained in a lively play area where they could run, tumble, and explore freely without constant supervision. It allowed me to actually enjoy the party without chasing after my daughter every few seconds! Each activity -- from the parachute games and zipline to the bubble dance party, bean bag toss, and puppet show -- was perfectly tailored to my daughter's high energy and interests. Her and her friends' smiles lit up the entire room! One parent even told me it was the most fun kids' birthday party she'd ever attended. Thank you, Megan and My Gym San Carlos, for creating such a magical and unforgettable third birthday celebration for our family!

We worked with Nicole for many events together (5-10?). In our last event for our kids birthday,…read moreshe setup a nice stand for my sons birthday next to a playground we have reserved. Only problem was, the playground was closed for renovations. Nicole and her team didn't let us know that the playground was closed although they arrived on-site 2 hours earlier. When I arrived, I had to scramble with the team to move the setup to the park next-door. Everything was OK at the end and even some of our guests offered help. One of the main reason we book with Nicole is that when things go wrong, I'd like her to step up and resolve them. But instead, she CHARGED US $300 for moving to the next playground. Wow, we were expecting apology, not a $300 bill. Even if you are a repeating and happy client of Nicole (like us), I advise you to start looking for more professional services with other organizers. We appreciate the many events she helped us until she dropped the ball completely and insulted us by charging us extra afterwards. -- Nicole responded by saying that they couldn't have foresaw that the playground was closed. This is false as her team showed me that they sent Nicole messages and videos of playground being closed before they setup anything. They could have communicated this with us earlier and moved to This is beyond surprising on how Nicole handles unexpected cases. Instead of trying to prove she is right, it would have been easier to say "shit happens" and make it right... Very surprising and weak response.
