The original cost of the party was $8500, they charged me $1000 over asking price which I didn't catch until after the party Not only did they refuse a refund but they refused the $1000 that they literally store as well Not only that, but they not only blamed me for damage is done to the venue, but tried blaming another company as well Bash Baloons for destruction done on their end They did not take any responsibility but instead made excuses as to why wrong and how I was the one at fault for the timing ect. Of this event. The picture was 25 minutes prior to the party, and looked nothing like what I asked for originally and what was promised.

My Wife and I went on a tour of a few wineries with Sharon this past Sunday. She was very…read moreknowledgeable, well rooted in the wine community and lots of fun. She picked us up from our hotel in her Toyota Highlander, by us I mean myself, my wife and our 70 pound Goldendoodle. She packed a cooler of water for us and provided water for our dog. We requested to go to primarily dog friendly wineries and she was able to accommodate this request. We really wanted to enjoy ourselves and not have to worry about where to go next or how to get there responsibly, Sharon took care of it. When we go back to Walla Walla we will certainly give Sharon a call.

If you or anyone you know is getting married in or around Walla Walla, hire Sharon as your wedding…read morecoordinator! My fiance and I lived in Portland, Oregon when we decided to marry in Walla Walla, and we were so lucky to find Sharon via a google search. I produce events as part of my marketing job, so I was happy to do most of the planning, and just needed a reliable and affordable day-of coordinator. Sharon was an absolute joy to work with! She is professional, communicative, experienced and very fun to be around. The wedding was as smooth as I had imagined it could be, thanks to Sharon and her ability to work so well with our DJ, photographer, caterer and venue contact. As soon as we met her for the walk-through of the venue (two months before the wedding), I knew we were in very good hands and in the presence of a kind and genuine person. She also knows the Walla Walla market well, and has great relationships with caterers and venues; if we would have needed a full-service coordinator, I would have hired her in a heartbeat. And if I ever had to plan any sort of corporate event, family reunion, etc in Walla Walla, I would certainly call Sharon. I wish I could add more than 5 stars, because Sharon is amazing!

If that doesn't scare you away, you'll be surprised to see the inside. Once you walk in you immediately get a different vibe, renovated the inside. If you don't mind the look, then the price is right. The staff works with you and helps you decorate the inside with any color combinations and you can have as many tables and chairs as you need. There are different size space and I have only been to the bigger room where I had my wedding reception and been to a quincenera. There is a stage for the bands and musicians. The owner provides security and they are there throughout the whole event to make sure nothing goes wrong and that the bathroom always has toilet paper and clears out the garbage for you. By the end of the party you don't have to worry about cleaning up either because they have you covered.

I have to tell you about the horrific customer service experience I've ever had. I am in shock and…read moreI need your help to spread the word. We reserved a party time at Bouncing Around LLC. The initial customer service was pretty ehhh, not helpful, not warm, but I was going to just ignore that. We showed up to the party and again, the service was pretty meh. The ladies up front acted like we were a burden on them. Determined to have a great birthday party for my daughter, I just let it go and everyone started playing. We had issues with some of the toys. One of the bouncy things was set up for laser tag and they had laser guns for the kids to play with. I guess they didn't like the kids running around with the guns so they took them away. I can even overlook that, because if they aren't playing 'right' then fine, take them away. Here's where things get interesting. At the end of the party, I wanted to find out what had happened with the laser guns, since the kids were really bummed out that they had been taken away. I went to the back to find the employee, and I found her sweeping off the table cloth with a broom. Yes, SWEEPING the tablecloth. This was a cheap plastic party table cloth. Gross, right? Again, I was going to let it slide because I didn't want a big ordeal. I asked her what had happened with the guns. She told me ( in a rude voice!) that three times she had asked the kids to stop putting the toys on the floor and then she took them away. Ok, I kind of get that. Maybe she doesn't realize that children, aged almost 2 - 10, tend to just drop thing and run to the next thing when they are excited. I told her that I understood that, even though I thought it was ridiculous and out of line for a party place. I then said "I just wanted to tell you that I am very unhappy with the service at this place and we won't be back." She said that she had had enough of me and that I needed to leave. I mentioned that that was the first I had ever talked to her so I didn't know what she was talking about. She said she had had enough of me and that I had been nasty and had written a long nasty note on her facebook page and that I needed to leave. I told her that I had never written anything on her on her page and had never talked to her before, except to schedule the party. She then got incredibly hostile, told me to leave and that she was going to call the cops. I said I was leaving and that was unnecessary. She started towards the front of the store, angrily, saying that she was calling the cops and I had better get off of her premises. I left as quickly as possible. I do not understand the nastiness that this woman had over my telling her that I was unhappy with the service. It is hard to hear that something isn't right, but to become hostile and threatening over a very calmly expressed complaint is completely out of line. Spend your money elsewhere.

On 12/26/13, I looked at BouncingAround.net (their website) and showed my kids that we were…read moreplanning on going there the following day (today). I looked at the prices on the website and it states that Fridays from 11-2 are $5/child (which was very exciting for a family of 4 children). Above that price listing is a notice that says "Indoor Daily Specials*** Please check our facebook page for daily price and time changes". Why have a time and price "calendar" on your website if you're just going to change it on your facebook? What about people who don't use facebook? So I went to the facebook page yesterday after I noticed that section...The only prices I saw on there was the post from December 9th which showed Friday 11-2 was $5. The last few times we had been to Bouncing Around, there were 6 bounce "houses" or areas and totally worth the time and money. We arrived at 11am to find out not only did they take out 3 of the (better) bounce areas but also raised the price to $10/kid AND if they wanted to do the laser tag it was going to be $15/kid. I asked why they didn't have the new prices listed on their website, and she said "well you have to check facebook." So while I was standing there (before I paid), I checked their facebook and sure enough - the new "holiday" prices were on there, but posted at 8pm on 12/26/13. I mentioned to her that the only other prices that have been posted are from December 9th and she said "Oh, we posted the prices since then but I deleted that post last night." I don't understand how you could RAISE the price and take out bouncy areas...and then in the area where you took the others out you put in a laser area that you have to pay even MORE to play in?! That is just plain ridiculous. My kids were SO excited to go back to play at Bouncing Around instead of going to the packed Get Air trampoline park in Kennewick. After 25 minutes at Bouncing Around this morning, my kids were absolutely bored...but I didnt even want to ask for a refund because I'm sure we wouldn't have received one...I forced my children to figure out a way to play on the 3 areas that were available to them so we didn't waste $40. By noon, my kids were sitting around and having melt downs because they didn't have anything else to do. I wasn't going to pay the extra $5 each ($20 more) to put in laser tag. I am highly disappointed in this company and don't plan on going back. I hope someone (other than the person I had to deal with this morning who was not very nice) will contact me. Also, be sure to bring your own water in your car. They do not have a water fountain or offer free water to thirsty children. They do, however, have bottled water you can purchase for $1 each. I had my children get water from our vehicle and they had to stand outside the business door (in foggy 30 degree weather) because they do not allow outside food or drinks. And now I see around noon they posted on their Facebook that "parents are free!"...thank you for mentioning that to me while I was there (sarcasm). I would have loved to play with my kids and help them not be so bored.
