This tavern pizza class was better than my expectations. I have been following them on Instagram…read morefor a couple of yrs and have always wanted to attend a class. Finally my schedule lined up with theirs. And tavern pizza too. My favorite. Set in a 50's diner and filled with vintage things, it's a real time warp. Very retro and very cool. The class was so much fun and I learned some new tips and some great recipes. The pizza recipe of course, but also the appetizers they served. It's byob or wine but I just drank the sparkling water that was provided. They're a bit pricey. The tavern pizza class was $143 a person, but other classes run higher. It was well worth the money to me though. I can't wait to take another class Come hungry and ready to eat

Our wedding was earlier this year and we have waited to write this review because we wanted photos…read moreto prove how amazing, talented and fun Laura and her team are. Hiring Fierce productions was the best decision we could have made. We interviewed a few wedding planners and we were impressed by Laura. During our consultation she actively listened to our vision and put it into words to help us understand what our day would entail. My husband and I had no idea what we were doing when we embarked on this process. We had a general vision, but did not know how to pull it together. We had several design meetings and after each meeting Laura left us feeling confident that everything was going to come together. Laura has a great sense for design and event planning. I feel like she can see into the future and predict flaws, prevent them and execute our vision. The day of our wedding we were calm because Laura checked all the boxes, literally! She was able to command the room, and still put us at ease so we could enjoy our day. Our day had a few tiny setbacks but Laura did what she could to make it right. The most impressive feat was the timeline. We had a very detailed timeline and Laura and her team made sure we covered everything. She handled unforeseen issues with ease. My advice to you is to hire Fierce productions full wedding planner service, listen to everything Laura says, sit back and relax. Also hire Adam Biba to be your photographer. He captured the moment of Laura doing her thing! Thank you again for making our day beautiful. Saleem and Matt

Our wedding day was so much fun, and we are so grateful to Laura and Olivia for making it possible!…read more When we got engaged, we knew some of the things we wanted to be a part of our wedding, and some of the things we didn't -- but we had no idea how to put it all together. We also knew that we wanted to have the kind of wedding that requires a lot of preparation, but that we didn't want have wedding planning become second jobs for us. We tried out a couple wedding planners, and eventually we sat down with Laura. She methodically worked with us on how to turn all the things we like and care about and that unite as a couple into a wonderful and perfect wedding -- and helped us organize it all into manageable chunks with a clear timeline. We started our wedding planning with Laura and Olivia, and eventually when Laura went on maternity leave we stayed with Olivia for the rest of our journey. Each had their own personal touches and ways of working, but both were incredibly professional, helpful, and organized. We often showed up to meetings knowing the general vibes that we wanted, not necessarily specifics or even how to express those "vibes", and Laura and Olivia turned those into concrete vendors, choices, and timelines. In the end, we made it through planning without it ever feeling like a second job, and we were in a great position to enjoy the most perfect wedding we could imagine: a big party with all our favorite people, and all our favorite things, celebrating what we love most about each other. More on the big day: Olivia and team managed the day exceptionally well. Everything was in place without us ever having to worry about a single thing. The day was fun and light, from getting dressed and having photos taken all over the city, all the way through the end of the night. Throughout the day, we kept getting asked how we found our amazing venue, caterers, photographer, DJ, florist... the list goes on. Each and every one of them was recommended by Laura. She did a great job of recommending a few vendors that she knew and trusted that fit with our vision for our wedding day, and each one of them did a phenomenal job. Our food was delicious, our music was a hit, and the decorations were beautiful, and we weren't worried at all on the day. Days and weeks after the wedding, we're still a little shocked: we knew this would be a party with our favorite people and favorite things, but even we didn't expect the end result to be so much fun.

I went with my friends to this class for a birthday and had the most fun ever. Devin is so fun and knows her stuff! She spent some time at the beginning talking through some of the science behind cocktails which was super intriguing, informative, and entertaining! Then we were able to make 3 cocktails of our own choosing with the different alcohols, flavored bitters and tinctures, natural sweet juices, and other mixers. Then Devin one-by-one tasted everyone's cocktail to add suggestions that drastically improved a good cocktail into a phenomenal cocktail. It was honestly such an incredible experience that I would highly recommend to anyone and everyone! We learned sooo much about mixology while having so much fun and being creative making our own cocktails! She's got only 5-star reviews on Google for a reason!!!

After attending this show for five years in a row, I can honestly say that it keeps getting better…read more Anyone that owns a restaurant or attending culinary school must attend at least once. The show is an amazing opportunity to network, try new menu items not yet available to the public, sample delicious food and drinks, view the latest in restaurant uniforms and equipment. There are also great cooking demos and info sessions. The show is not open to the public.

This was our first time exhibiting a this show and our overall experience did not go as expected…read more The day before the show began, we were told to pick up badges and parking passes for entry. It took us about 30 to 45 minutes to find where we needed to go. There were no directions online or at the venue to point us in the right direction. If it was not for the parking assistants, we would have never known how to find parking or where to go. As far as the actual show, there were so many vendors and it is a great opportunity for bigger vendors, not so much for smaller vendors trying to receive brand recognition. We left the show receiving about 3 leads in the Start Up Alley. It was not what we expected for the price we spent and we will not return or recommend.
