Layout of the gallery

I live in Media, so maybe I'm biased when I say it's the best town in Delaware County. And although I appreciate the variety of restaurants, bars and tiny shops, I alway felt like something was missing on State Street; something fun and exciting that anyone of any age could come and enjoy. In my opinion, Game on State hits the mark. Considering they are located on State Street, there is only so much space one can rent. When you walk in, most of the pinball machines are toward the middle-front, but as you walk further back, it is actually much bigger than you'd expect! Personally, I think they could add more machines toward the back of the store, but maybe in due time that will happen. At the very front is a selection of candy, an old-fashioned jukebox and other knick knacks. In the middle of the store are the main pinball machines and arcade games. Toward the back are car racing games, skee ball, and a couple claw machines to win prizes. It can feel slightly crammed depending on where you are standing. For example, when I was playing skee ball, I was worried my arm would swing back and hit someone as they walked behind me, but overall, they did a nice job with the layout of the store and trying to provide as much space as possible. The price is on par with another pinball gallery near Malvern, so no complaints there. I did not check the bathroom, but the gallery itself is clean, so again, I was pleased to see that. I'm not sure if it's a family-owned business, but the people behind the counter were very nice and accommodating to answering any questions. I played for a half-hour and the time flew by, meaning I had a lot of fun. It's a good way to let time pass, and for a Friday afternoon, it was a nice relaxer to the end of a long work week. I will most certainly be back when I have some time to spare. I highly recommend Game on State to all gamers, families, and lovers of Media!

My six year old and I had a blast here! It's very reasonable and you're able to get a half hour pass and try out some old school games. They had a wide selection of pinball, Pac-Man, hockey, car racing and Itari. The games are all free for use once you get the pass (which was $7.50 today). It was pretty crowded while we were there but still plenty of games were available. Some were confusing for my son's age but there were still plenty basic enough for him. There's a bunch of candy in the front when you head out to round things out! Overall highly recommend- they do birthday parties as well.

I can not rave enough about Renee and her team who assisted us for two of my daughter's weddings…read more We could not have pulled off both events without her. Renee was on top of everything throughout the planning process, making arrangements, coordinating vendors and offering wonderful advice. The day of the weddings Renee and Allison hit the ground running. She was onsite while the girls were getting hair and makeup, coordinated and pick up food for the girls and the guys at a different location. She is the absolute BEST! We planned and had two weddings within 6 months, during the pandemic. Renee talked us all off of the ledge a few times and was my voice of reason often. I can not say thank you enough to Renee for all that she did for us to coordinate our weddings. I highly recommend hiring Renee. "Events by Renee" was worth their weight in gold.

We booked Events by Renee for our daughter's recent wedding (May 2022) for the full planning…read moreservices plus extra for help planning two additional parties. Overall Impression: This was not a good value for the money spent. Our daughter's wedding was not given any significant priority, even the month of the wedding. Note that Ms. Rhinehart, the owner of the business, works part-time in this business and full-time developing partyhosthelper.com. We were not privy to this when booking. Pros: * Day of Support good; the Planner worked long hours, even helped with clean up * Taping job for bride's wardrobe malfunction excellent, stayed in place * Help with bridesmaid's dress also very good * Flexible with some last minute/late changes (changing three lights to two on the tables, changing plans to attend the AA tasting) * Helpful in acting as the bride and groom's witness when they applied for their marriage license * Picked up favors and stored centerpieces for the bride Cons: * Planning missed a lot of important details throughout planning (wedding date, etc.); does not take notes at meetings * Did not feel like personal service as requested in the initial interview, not enough time with bride. The bride missed dates to do things because the Planner was not in regular touch with the bride. The MOB had to step in to actively plan the wedding. * Very difficult to contact except email, even to schedule a meeting which had to be during business hours * Vendor search limited to one vendor, even after MOB mentioned the one vendor did not work * Planner not flexible to redo the vendor search after COVID rescheduling (extra fee for this), resulting in MOB, bride doing their own vendor searches for some vendors * Not budget-oriented as requested in initial interview in terms of purchasing additional services, resulting in going over budget continuously with nearly every vendor hired * Forgot that we were out of town in planning the wedding * Did not receive payment notifications when things were due or adequate budget spreadsheets * Nearly all communications (mostly emails) left something to be desired, resulting in lots of wasted time for the MOB, FOB, and others * Lack of timely response to many inquiries * Knowledge of venue not adequate (overstated in initial interview) * The Planner did not know the correct order for a Jewish wedding (where they stand at the altar) and directed incorrectly. This resulted in bride's family not seeing her face on the video. * Suggested lots of add-on fees for things that should have been included even though we paid for the premium service plus extra for planning additional parties. * Two special requests from MOB (a search of more than one vendor for chairs and welcome bag assembly) were handled mostly by assistants, resulting in uneven results. * No support given for times the planner was not available (her honeymoon and maternity leave)
