This is an absolutely magnificent space! We attended a plant night talk by Dora of Nature's…read moreElements which was a vivacious and educational talk where we learned a bunch about when and how to plant/start your garden she is uber knowledgeable and did a great job, we then planted several plants of our choosing. Highly would recommend this event for anyone interested in learning about growing anything The venue itself is gorgeous every single wall has some piece of art on it that is breathtaking, there are a couple of smaller businesses That reside in the space as well as studios for artists. I learned that there are paint nights hosted by the very man who panted many of the paintings in the space so expect something creative to flow from that class. Whether you need a large space for a cocktail party or a boardroom for an important meeting you can rent the space through their site, I know I'll be checking it out

Kerry talks a good game but does not follow though with her promises. I REGRET one thing and it…read morewas the the money I spent hiring her and her company. She told me that one bride cried because she was getting so much pressure from her family to do more, but Kerry was doing it all...taking care of everything...I cried because that was most certainly NOT my experience. Worthless words. I would have been better off to keep that money for myself considering how much of the planning I had to do on my own. Their ideas were uninspiring at best, with no real creative direction. I ended up doing the clean up after my wedding, in my wedding dress, even though it was part of my package, because Kerry and Julie were LONG gone. I spoke to Kerry on several occasions about my dissatifaction, but it made no difference. Rather then rise to the occasion they continue to drag their heels and were happy to let me do all the work...even though they assured me this wouldn't be the case. They were a total joke. I have been to another wedding, unfortunately, planned by them and it was a disaster, lots of rain and no rainy day plan. Wedding planning 101 totally lost on them. I would NEVER recommend them to any bride.

Kerry, the owner, is very hands on and will help you with planning any aspect of your wedding that you need assistance with. We used her for our linens, guest favours, and set up/take down of our reception location. Her and her staff did an Amazing job in setting up every single part of our reception venue and return the next morning to take it all down. This was fantastic because I didn't need to worry about having myself or a guest needing to do it. She was also the cheapest for the renting of our linens. The friends that I have recommended Kerry to have said they loved how she was able to help them find the best prices on invitations, cake, decorations, etc. If you are planning a wedding and need help, Bride-on-a-Budget is the place to go!

Besides being very dirty throughout , Your paying top dollar for a room with no proper ventilation ,dirty ,and you can't even open up the windows as all the windows are fixed Good luck with the vending machines as they're all empty we did find a pop machine on the third floor that had Coke but it was piss warm The restaurant is just terrible You can see what happened here it's now called the (Clarion Hotel) ran by some third-party company that probably owns 15 hotels but just doesn't care They purchase properties in high-traffic areas, take peoples hard-working money don't put any money into the hotels pocket everything put in minimal staff as possible even if they ran down and Milk them for all their worth I know this review will fall on deaf years as far as the hotel goes but it is truly sad the big corporations keep taking advantage of the small guy

Funky Petals is a big supporter of local businesses from where they are getting product to what…read morethey do in the community. They use a lot of local growers for their products and the way they last, and they also will add products such as cookies and chocolate ect. from so many local small businesses. It almost makes this a one stop shop for any gifts you are looking for. Also they do a lot of work in the community donating flowers to senior centres as flowers are known to help in dementia cases. For me Laurie and the staff have been very helpful every time I enter, you will not find a better place to buy flowers or any gifts for that matter. The quality of care, the way the flowers last so long, attention to detail all add up to a five star place to do business in my mind.

Well, what can I say about Strathcona County hall? Most of my experience has been of the County…read moreCouncil meetings and they are interesting, to say the least. Lets start with the room and decor. The room is set up in a theatre half round with portable chairs sitting on tiered steps - kind of like a half round Roman coliseum. This seating arrangement provides a good sightline for all in attendance. The chairs are not the most comfortable, but I have certainly experienced worse. In airport waiting areas. Two big screens behind the Council members projects motions and presentations as they arise. The motions are sometimes so small as to be almost unreadable. I think whoever prepares them should consider using a minimum font size of 24. The council seats are flanked with an impressive array of flags to give it a properly ceremonial feel. The press area is located at the back of the room and has a ledge that enables media to sit with their laptops and plug them in. This would be something that might be considered for others in attendance. It is not just the press who bring their laptops or other technology to council meetings. Now, for the show. You definitely get your money's worth at these events. Admittance is free and the shows run every second Tuesday starting at 2 pm. They are quite long and will sometimes go until 8 or 9 at night. The players are 9 councillors, including the mayor. It is often easy to see the tension amongst the players as they jockey for position as the "top dog" or at least the "not bottom" dog on any given event. Witty barbs and not so clever snipes are often heard as the participants heat up on topics such as snow removal, art gallery guidelines and development plans. I think that maybe the crew could be provided a bit more direction as they seem to run amok at times. There are often guest appearances from various committee members and residents. These are often the pleasant parts of the show as all participants spend much time patting each other on the back. When administration guest stars, it is often a different thing. This is when the drama really heats up and the audience is often on the edge of their seats. Will the Mayor berate and argue with what is presented? Will Council find problems with the information they are given? Will administration show their true feelings or cover it behind tight smiles? The highest drama occurs when administration presents to Council and some members of council begin to disagree with the information while others don't. This is when you really want to get your popcorn out and settle in for a great show! When this happens, it is usually followed by a break that is called by the Mayor. This will give you just enough time for a washroom break or a quick run for a latte at the library coffee shop. Although I wouldn't recommend bringing small children or those easily offended, it is still good entertainment for your money.

For only $10 I was part of the studio audience and spent the night laughing and singing and having a great time. Sound Lab Studios actually rents out Rehearsal Rooms, venue to host any corporate events, sell and rent equipment, provide audio recording, music workshops, band showcases, etc. Their rates are super reasonable for everything as you can't even rent an empty room in Edmonton for what they offer their rehearsal room rates for. The owners are super friendly as well and will work with you to find a package that works for you and your budget. The 9 purpose built rehearsal studios are highly soundproofed and sound treated, come with a drum kit, mixer, speakers, and microphones, various sizes, are clean, fully air conditioned and are on the main floor so there's no need to haul heavy items up any stairs. Check it out, they are new and provide a great service to the community!
