We hired SPARK for a corporate event at Dos Pueblos Orchid Farms. It is a unique venue for a…read morecorporate event because the location does not have wifi, has bad cell service, and has minimal electrical outlets.  SPARK provided a very detailed quote and included things I forgot to even mention or didn't know we needed. They're very familiar with the venues in the area. They worked well based on the budget we had. Alex and his team also went to the venue for a site visit where we discovered a huge echo in the venue. They were creative and worked on ways to fix it. They also made sure our video wall wouldn't have a glare and we would have shading for when the sun hit directly on the greenhouse. Alex was also great as we had a bunch of performers who needed additional A/V support. He reached out to them and knew exactly what they needed. The team spent hours and hours setting up. It really was a huge production. On the day of, everything was great! The wifi went smoothly and the on-site techs were helpful. One thing to note is that our event was not completely waterproof so when it rained between day 1 and 2, SPARK had to make a few adjustments as some outlets weren't functioning and there was water on some things. They did so quickly before guests arrived. The before & after pictures don't even show all the work put into this! Alex and his team should have been hired for Fyre Fest because they are amazing with producing great events no matter what difficulties there are.

She is a true professional and went above and beyond making sure our wedding day was flawless. We hired Christine a month before our wedding (I know we're last minute people) as the day of cordinator. She was worth every penny and more. It was the best use of money we spent on our wedding. Originally, I thought I could do everything myself. Oh boy I was wrong and what on earth was I thinking!!! Because of Christine I was able to enjoy my wedding :) Christine completely exceeded our high expectations and was a joy to work with from beginning to end.

I got two "Happy Birthday" ones (regular latex ones) filled with helium for $4.09. I walked around the store a bit as the clerk was filling my balloons. There's a decent selection of party items although it would probably be fastest to ask the clerk for exactly what you are looking for because it's a bit disorganized. I liked the large selection of gift bags and there's even a small section of household grocery items. As with most of the shops in Old Town, it could benefit from an updated look but what can you say... it's a traditional Mom-and-Pop shop!
