In all my years of life, this was by far the biggest waste of money and 2 minutes (literally) I've…read moreexperienced. holy cow. Here it is.. $125 got my wife and me 30 minutes in a room with "20 breakables." We entered the room and were given paper thin coveralls (that was an extra $16 btw) a vest, helmet, and glasses. The wooden table was setup in the middle of a tiny room with all the breakables on it already (pictured below). My wife swung a golf club at the closest bottle which then domino'd almost all of the others. 1 swing. Speaking of the swing, I had to squeeze into the corner of the room so I didn't get hit by her club. So there you go. $125 for seconds of actual action. My advice: do what other smash rooms do. Have a larger room and provide better safety gear (no extra charge). Have the breakables next to the door and a podium where you can break them one at a time. On a positive note.. the staff as nice. It's not their fault, this was poor logistics.

In the 1920's during Florida's land boom years, women's clubs were formed as a way to give back to…read morethe community with civic projects. They became an outlet for women to get out of the house and to assert their independence by allowing them to get involved in politics during a time when they were expected to be homemakers. Women's clubs helped to launch the women's rights movement. The Punta Gorda Woman's Club was formed in 1925 when three clubs consolidated, The Ladies Fortnightly Club, The Women's Club Civic Association, and The Married Ladies Club. They came together to be able to be able to build a one story Spanish Mission style building in 1926 on land in downtown Punta Gorda donated by Judge William Fenmore Cooper from Illinois. Throughout the years the building housed stage productions, dances, meetings and dinners. The building housed the first library for 30 years and during WWII it was used as a USO. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. In 2000 the Woman's Club transferred the deed to the building to Punta Gorda Historical Society. The building is available for rent for private functions from the Woman's Club.

Pat came highly recommended from multiple people. We decided on a small wedding on the beach at…read moresunset and didn't want to wait, so we set the date a few weeks out. I called Pat and she was so friendly and helpful. She explaining the different kinds of wedding ceremonies she performs. We opted for the fastest, due to our budget restraints. She was really sweet and said she wanted to get to know us so she could make the ceremony special for us. She said she usually meets with the couple to get an idea of their personalities but due to the short time frame and scheduling conflicts, on our end, we decided to do a video call. Pat was warm and friendly on the call. She felt like a family friend right away. After the call she emailed us questioned to answer about each other and our relationship. It was fun homework. We emailed her back the answers and she then responded with examples for vows which were beautiful. The day of the wedding it was forecasted for 90% chance of rain. The wedding was on the beach and we had no plan B so I picked up some waterproof mascara and eyeliner and said a prayer. It stormed and rained cats and dogs which delayed the set up, we had our reception in the beach also, but thankfully it cleared up just in time. Pat was early and super positive about the rain. When we finally got set up and it was go time and Pat was wonderful! She spoke loud enough and clearly for everyone to hear. She was funny at the right times and sentimental also which we will treasure forever. At the end she included all the guest which was sweet and fun. I highly recommend Pat!
