    Wonderful experience today with my daughter for her birthday. Fantastic customer service and such a cute place!

    Magical ceiling in the dining area!

    I just want to start by saying this is a very special and unique place. Pictures online don't do this place justice in the least because it's really that magical! Whom ever chose the decor has done down to the smallest details to ensure that no matter where you look there is something special to see. Clearly I was enchanted! We came here to celebrate my daughters 8th birthday. Now I had never actually set foot inside until the actual day of the party. Upon walking up, right away it is very cute. Colorful chairs and railing out front. And as soon as you walk inside it is quite the magical girly place. It's colorful and sparkly and full of everything every girl dreams of. Each room is whimsicle and imaginative and fun. Mary and her staff are out of this world great. They are all so friendly and smiley. They are all so kind and helpful. I also think it's pretty cool for the younger gals to have the teenage gals helping them do hair and makeup and nails. It's very well organized! I highly recommend this place for your next girly party. We definately will be back and will recommend it to friends and family too! Very heart felt thanks to all the staff involved in my daughter's birthday! Your hard work and good hearted personalities really shine and show and don't think all that goes unnoticed, because it is greatly appreciated. THANK YOU!

    I love It's A Girl Thing!!! Mary, and her daughter, Bree, have a great thing going here. They turned out to be our perfect fit! So let me tell you a little bit about my experience. I don't have a little girl. But, I do have a sister getting hitched in five days and I had a bachelorette party to plan. My sister has included our baby sisters as two of her bridesmaids and one of the most important things to her was that I made every effort to include our under 21 year old sisters. We also included our pseudo-niece who is 16 years old. My original plan was a 'Geneva Crawl'. I wanted to plan multiple stops around one of our favorite towns for a day of fun. We ended up expanding beyond Geneva a little bit, but IAGT ended up being our first stop. I worked with these wonderful ladies to plan a cookie/cupcake decorating stop in Geneva. I told them about my vision, they set it up and helped me pull it off without a hitch! It was perfect!!! I would have never imagined that a little girl party place would be the ideal spot for stop number one of our bachelorette party day, but with some creative ideas and a great group of gals, it was great! We talked price - they made it work. We talked music - they made it happen. We talked snacks - they had great suggestions and took care of those details too! I made all of my arrangements on the phone and over email. I trusted them from our first phone call and they came through. They lived up to their promises and left me with a fabulous feeling! It's an absolutely darling shop with unique charm throughout. Stop by to take a look at their cute tote bags, fun girly toys and other things. It's a pink paradise! They have drop-in events for your little ones and a multitude of other things going on. With the holidays around the corner, I would expect to see some special events soon! Check them out on Facebook. I even think a new website is around the corner if it isn't up already. Thank you ladies for an excellent kickoff to our day!

    See all

    Amazing. The ideal place for my daughter's bday. She felt like a princess. 35 dollars well spent! Not expensive and totally worth it.

    What a fun performer. I came across him at the Park Ridge Kiwanis annual pancake breakfast, where…read morehe was doing some entertaining mostly for the kids but definitely for the adults as well. It's through him that I heard of the Central Street Busker Festival that took place the next day and his line was loooong! Most recently, we went to his show last week that the Mt. Prospect Public Library held for spring break. That was very very well attended, with a long line of folks waiting to get in (and that's with all of us registered to attend!), but the show was a lot of fun. He did a little magic, a little comedy, and some fun balloon tricks. This guy has been doing this all his adult life--unless that's also a joke and part of his act--but regardless, he's great at his job. I'm looking forward to seeing him again and my little one having the chance to pick her balloon creation on her own.

    Smarty Pants was fantastic at our recent event AND each and every time I've seen him perform over…read morethe years - which is many times (because many people see how amazing he is)!! It's not just his talent with super fun and surprising balloon characters but his adaptive nature and outstanding personality, engaging everyone at the parties/events. I would absolutely recommend him for all types of occasions : private or big birthday parties, festivals, block parties, - anywhere there will be children!! He is one less thing at your party you need to worry about because he is a sure thing! Truly, he is a whole family favorite!!

    Could not have nicer things to say about working with My Chef and Jamie Walsh for our wedding day…read morecatering. We met Jamie at our venue's vendor expo and were immediately impressed by their services, pricing, and vast food offerings. It was a no brainer to book with their group! We had our tasting a couple months before our wedding day; which is complimentary to the couple and a $50 charge for any additional guest to join. They have you select 8-10 appetizers, 2 salads, and 4 entrees to taste at their Naperville location. They also have displays of china, silverware, glasses and more to help couples select what aligns aesthetically for their special day. Jamie worked with us to make small modifications to their standard offerings to make the food exactly what we wanted! Our wedding day came and we were floored by the quality/presentation of food, level of detail in place settings, and service from all staff members. We had multiple guests say that this was some of the best wedding food they've had, steaks were not over cooked, and food tasted fresh. Jamie also let us add desserts a week out to reallocate money from a couple of guests who last minute were unable to attend. Their team was even nice enough to service items not purchased through their group: disposables for the late night snack, display and refilling of cupcakes, etc. Overall, their group went above and beyond for us under Jamie's leadership. Our tables looked great, our food was wonderful, and their team was fabulous. We truly appreciate all they've done for us and could not recommend them more! Appetizers Selected: Mac & Cheese Bites, Bacon Wrapped Dates w Honey Citrus Sauce, Cocktail Meatballs, Bruschetta Bar Salad Selected: Mixed Field Greens w Pears, Goat Cheese, Pear Infused Vinaigrette. *Alts: Candied Walnuts & Second Balsamic Dressing to offer Dinner Selections: 1. Filet w Red Wine Demi Sauce, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, & Asparagus 2. Garlic & Herb Cheese Stuffed Chicken, Vodka Sauce w Bowtie Noodles, & Grilled Veggies 3.

    Okay - I'm not sure what happened to this place. I used them the past two summers to rent chairs…read morefor graduation parties, and they were great. Reasonably priced, very responsive. I picked up the chairs and the warehouse guys helped load them into my car, unload, etc. But then recently, I inquired about renting tables, chairs and linens for a bridal shower. First, their contact us form on their website wasn't working - some issue with the captcha. So I tried emailing with my request and questions about table options. I waited for days, and then I got an anonymous text with a couple of questions in return. So I'd respond, and then days would go by where I wouldn't hear anything again. I called several times and left messages, then I got another text a couple of days later. Finally, I got a text with just a price tag - no itemized breakdown of costs, no responses to my questions about table sizes, nothing. I left another message, asking for an itemized quote and haven't heard back. Its so surprising, considering how responsive and professional they were the past two summers when I rented from them. Itemized contracts, detailed terms. everything you would expect. This time there was none of that. Did they lose their sales staff? Are they going out of business?
