She and Eugene were very accommodating to our team's itinerary that day, and made it the easiest part of the even to plan. Alla hand sketched each of our canvases (which turned out way more impressive than any of us expected with our lack of artistic ability), and had them shipped the perfect amount of time prior to the day of the event. So glad we chose Art Fun Studio to include in our year end event -- truly such a positive experience. Hope to work with them again in the future!!

We came here for a birthday party with a total of 11 people and the entire experience was pleasant…read more Alla and her staff are very attentive, when you run out of a certain color, they are quick to refill, when your water is dirty, they are proactive in swapping the water out. She also provided tips on how to paint better if you weren't a pro at it - which I certainly was not. She has a number of different ceramics to pick from and took great photos of the group with her DSLR as well. Most importantly, you can bring beer/alcohol and drink while you paint - listening to music of your choice!

I had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday here. My family used this venue before for a wedding…read moreafter party which led me to using the space again. Although I had a beautiful and enjoyable event, there were some cons that led me to rating my experience only with 3 stars. Being that the event was during the summer, between the humidity outside, dancing and the amount of people at the party (the venue was not over capacity by any means, for reference), it was extremely hot in the venue even though the ac was on (I was later told one of the Ac units were not working, after the two people I had setting up did inform the staff and they said the unit was in fact working when it wasn't) This also caused the floor to be very slippery which caused a few of my guests to fall just from walking around (a huge liability) I requested for this to be a stand up event but at the last minute, I was told the venue is given as is (tables out, chairs out etc.) and storage for the other furniture can not be requested last minute. The owner realized that I did mention the event would be a stand up event prior to the month of the event. The effort was made to remove some of the tables and chairs but upon arrival there were still some stacks of chairs in the corner. Although it was not a issue for me, it was brought to my attention by a few of my guests and I just wish the original request to have only a few chairs out, was able to be fulfilled. Lastly, I rented a cotton candy machine to use but unfortunately, once it was plugged in, the music turned off because supposedly too many things were plugged in on the same side of the venue so I was not able to use the machine, and it was a waste of money that could've been allocated to something else. On the other hand, there were a lot more pros. For one, the layout of the venue is perfect for a party. There is enough space for guests to move around without feeling like a pack of sardines. There was an attendant there for the later half of the booking and he was quick on his feet. When the power went out, he was able to get it back on within 5 minutes or so and also, when there was spill, he quickly got the mop for us upon request. The venue is very clean (the white walls are pure white). There is also a bar area and space at the front of the venue where food and drinks can be separate from the actual party. Lastly, although there was some miscommunication about minor details for the party, the owner of the venue was very responsive, kind, respectful and answered all of my questions without hesitation. I even was supposed to depart the venue exactly at 1 am in order to receive my security deposit back but I left at 1:11 am because one of the vendors did not come and pick up their equipment but we still cleaned up the venue and my security deposit was sent back to me by that morning and I do appreciate that very much. Overall, this is a great space to have your event. The location is easily accessible and it is very affordable for 8 hours of use. Just be sure that the inconveniences I mentioned will be resolved prior to booking your event.

I was trying to think of something a week before my wife's birthday that I could add on to all the…read moregift I'd already purchased. Remembering how much she enjoyed the nice display of balloons. I began to search and was lucky enough to find Balloons Lane. Everything was simple, they delivered it as I asked for while she had stepped out the night before her birthday, and she loved them. I'll definitely use them again for a birthday in the future!

The only positive thing I can say is that they were prompt issuing a refund. We had ordered…read moreballoons for a children's birthday party and were told the balloons would arrive anywhere between two and half to 30 minutes prior to the party beginning. Well, 30 minutes before the party was set to begin there were no balloons. We called up to inquire about a status update and they told us that they had totally forgotten about the order and that they would make it right away. We declined because there was no way the order would be made and delivered in 30 minutes. It would be embarrassing to have the balloons delivered halfway into the party so we told them to forget about the order. They offered a full refund and my response was are you still going to make and deliver the order? They then said no. So, they screwed up, forgot the order and refused to do the order and issue a full refund. Issuing a refund and still fulfilling the order would've gone a long way in showing me that they actually do care about customer service and satisfaction. Like I said, at least they issued the full refund, but forgetting about an entire balloon order (for a child's party nonetheless) is unacceptable and irresponsible. I will never use this vendor ever again and I find it very hard to believe that there are so many positive reviews for this company posted online. I understand that mistakes happen and incompetence is far too common these days, but to tell me (after they screwed up) that it can only be one or the other; the full refund or delivering the order late is just bad business. When you make a mistake like that you rectify it by offering the full refund AND still fulfilling the order. That's what a respectable business would be. Will never use again and I told them I'm going to tell everyone I know not to use their services either.

From the second our party started they were so In sync with each other. They were fun, playful and made sure my little guy and everyone else had such an amazing time. Not to mention all the special attention they gave him! It was structured without feeling like we were on a time restraint. I think I had more fun than my little guy did. I don't know how to thank Becca and Vicky enough. You both really made our experience what it was. You made us want to come back for classes. I am so grateful to both of you. Thank you so so much! We are looking forward to seeing you both in the future! We're signing up for classes!!!!

Gail offers many entertainment options and will not try and sell you anything she feels will not needed.

From the first conversation I had with Matrimony by Social Setters I instantly was blown away by how spot on they understood me and my vision. I specifically worked with Trecia Lorelle as my planner and designer. I had my first introduction call and rattled off some hopes I had for my wedding. Within a few short hours, I had a stunningly designed gorgeous presentation completed with a list of visions, ideas, and wedding venue options that had me sure she could read my mind and already knew everything about me! As time went on Trecia Lorelle from Matrimony by Social Setters became my right-hand woman and by the end of my wedding, she truly felt like family. Working with Trecia was a complete dream, she has a way of really bringing your vision to life. I was blown away by her creativity, her organization, and her presence. She has a kind, energetic, take-charge personality that ensures your day will come out completely perfect. As everyone knows wedding planning can be very stressful but with Trecia and Matrimony by Social Setters at my side I knew I was in amazing hands and that I had nothing to worry about. After quickly realizing how incredible Trecia was I decided to use her team to plan every activity related to my wedding. I worked with Trecia and Social Setters to plan my bridal shower, bachelorette party, and rehearsal dinner. Every event was flawless and stunning. From my bohemian rehearsal dinner to my artistic upstate bachelorette party that was completed with a private chef and a tablescape that Trecia designed that had my jaw on the floor, to our rehearsal dinner in a barn with hundreds of candles and breathtaking decor. Trecia is always willing to go the extra mile to make your vision and dream come true. When I suggested I wanted a chandelier hanging above me and my husband's heads as we exchanged our vows she personally went out and thrifted the most incredible vintage chandelier. In fact, she did this with so many items. She was always going the extra mile to put together and design the most special atmosphere. The day of my wedding Trecia was my saving grace, she ensured the whole day was flawless and smooth. All the guests at my wedding commented on how incredible Trecia was! I could not have done my wedding without her and Matrimony by Social Setters. What a dream and relief it was to work with them. I truly am so lucky and grateful. I could spend hours talking about how amazing the experience was. I will absolutely be using Trecia and Social Setters to plan all my events moving forward, they have become such a big and special part of me and my husband's life.

We received first class quality and were able to stay way under our budget. We are typically not very extroverted and Nick worked with us to suit our wedding program to our needs. We never felt like we were being pushed into doing something that we weren't comfortable with and that is something that was very important to us. When planning our wedding we talked to a lot of other sales people who didn't seem to listen to what we wanted or made us feel weird for not wanting the typical crazy party that would make them more money. Everyone loved the energy and music selection that Classie Events brought to our wedding. The photo booth was a hit! They really gave us memories that will last a lifetime. I would highly recommend Classie Events if you are looking for a company that goes above and beyond to make you comfortable and truly cares about your needs.

They tended to all of our requests, felt out our crowd to play music that would keep guests on the dance floor, and had smiles on their faces the entire night. The Photo Booth service they offered was a huge hit and kept our guests constantly entertained. Classie events brought fun, energy and, of course, great music to our wedding and we could not be more grateful.
