I think there's something to be said about kind of missing the wedding planning process because we…read moremiss talking to our planner. My husband and I were so lucky to work with Katie at B&B as our planner throughout this process, and she was such a blessing to have in our corner!!! To start, she provided great organizational resources that immediately made everything feel like it was manageable, with her detailed checklist really being the backbone of this entire process for us. We really looked forward to our check-ins with her because not only were they productive, but always a collaborative effort between us and her. She always made us feel heard, and when we had an idea, nothing ever seemed impossible to execute, as she helped us figure out how to make things we wanted happen. We opted for her services about a year out from our wedding day, and through every step, check point, and to-do list item, she walked us through anything we needed and always delivered when we needed her and even above and beyond. In addition to how supportive she was throughout the planning process, she also coordinated our whole wedding day flawlessly. She thinks of how things are going to be executed seamlessly and does the work of problem solving with you beforehand so that the day goes as smoothly as possible, and that it did for us. She's extremely professional and also did wonderfully at communicating with our vendors to ensure we were all on the same page. The success of our day is largely due to her being our planner, and we recommend her x100000. Thank you, Katie!!!

My daughter's 3-year-old birthday was coming up, and she had a very specific wish -- she absolutely…read moreloves Pinocchio and the Blue Fairy. It has been her favorite movie since she was 2 years old. I searched everywhere but couldn't find any party company offering these characters the way I imagined. I had previously worked with Creative Kids Parties for a Christmas party, so I decided to call them again. I was lucky enough to speak directly with the owner, Lisa. At first, she told me they didn't have those characters available, so I went ahead and booked Donald Duck and thought Minnie would be a great addition. But just a few hours later, Lisa called me back with the most incredible news -- her team was willing to create custom costumes for Pinocchio and the Blue Fairy just for my daughter's party! I was beyond excited -- truly over the moon. Lisa handled everything with such care, attention, and professionalism. She went above and beyond -- even attending the party herself to make sure everything ran smoothly. That level of dedication is rare and so appreciated. The characters -- Donald Duck and his assistants, along with Pinocchio and the Blue Fairy -- did an absolutely UNBELIEVABLE job. The kids were completely engaged, happy, and entertained the entire time. It truly felt magical. Lisa supported me so much throughout the process -- I honestly couldn't have done it without her. Her team is respectful, responsible, and clearly experienced in working with children. I will absolutely continue working with Lisa and her team in the future. Thank you for making my daughter's 3rd birthday so special and unforgettable!

Here's a funny story…read more.. I first found drop zone arena about 3 years ago on Yelp. I had reached out to inquire about a party but did not hear back. I tried a couple of times because I really wanted my son to have a nerf war party... didn't end up booking them because I could not get a hold of them Fast forward a year later, we got invited to a nerf war party at a local park. When I asked for a business card, I found out it's these guys who my friend had booked through. Cool cool, maybe the owner forgot to get back to me... maybe it was bad timing. I saved their contact information in my phone and forgot about them Recently, my son started asking me about having a nerf gun party again. He mentioned he had so much fun at his friend's party 2 years ago... so from a party standpoint, I would give them a sold 5 stars I reached out to them recently. I called, left a message, texted two different numbers (one from my contact list and one from the website) and it's been a couple of weeks.... Crickets. Perhaps I pissed someone off over there and just don't know it? Perhaps they are so busy and don't need new customers? This will remain as a mystery. 0 out of 5 for responsiveness. LOL
