I would turn a blind in past comments he would make about other customers, but today he really was disrespectful where his business ethics and integrity I cannot support.

A luthier in Tom Lee recommended me this shop as they do not work stainless steel frets. I sent my 10-year main guitar to him, ended up with a refretted guitar with unfinished edges and some bonus scars (hard stabbed by his tools, basically means he actually cannot work with stainless steels unlike what he said) on the neck.... He filled the 2 major dents, which made it look worse. I would rather leave those dents alone. lol. Come on, if you are too old to keep your skills, you better retire.

Great experience; Kyle went the extra mile!…read more We hired East Van Amusements for an anniversary celebration -- we were doing a retro booth. Kyle was extremely responsive, with the most helpful responses from the four or five companies I contacted, as well as providing easy access to photos of equipment. Kyle was super easy to work with, he came in advance to check out the location, arrived on time for delivery and pickup, did not need help from us in getting anything in, and was extremely helpful and flexible in getting everything set up. It all worked perfectly, and guests were very complimentary. The prices were reasonable, and Kyle went the extra mile of bringing a few extra decorations which really helped our little retro arcade display shine. Highly recommended!

This review is a bit over due, but I think it's time to sit down and write the reviews…read more Leeah and John were amazing through out the whole process. The fact that they had everything in one shop was a god send for us. When we went in for a consultation they told us the break down of all the packages they had. We had 12 hours of coverage, hair and make up suit and dress rentals for $6,000. It was worth every penny for us, if you put a few things into consideration - i.e. a wedding dress alone will run you at least $2,000. The price includes alterations for the tuxes and dresses. One thing I've noticed that they offer is a bridal assistant. That person is with you from the start of the day to the reception. She will help touch up your make up making sure you good as you did in the morning. The downside is that the selection of sizes for wedding dresses is very limited. They have dresses up to size 12, anything bigger will require special order, but if it fits around the waist they are able to alter it for you

I had several makeup trials with different mua's located in Vancouver for my wedding, but none could make it look as natural as she could and who understood my facial features.

Everyone also complimented on my mom and my mother in law's makeup& hair. She is very friendly and extremely supportive as well on your wedding day.
