The response I got was so sorry about that. The paint obviously has bacteria or is not hypoallergenic and should not be used on children's faces.

The performer looked incredible -- her costume was stunning and realistic, and she stayed completely in character the whole time, which kept the kids totally enchanted. She sang songs, told ocean-themed stories, played games and did makeover for the kids. It was interactive, imaginative, and so much fun! The kids were mesmerized and honestly, so were the parents. She also took time for photos with each child and made the birthday girl feel super special with a little "coronation" ceremony. Booking was easy, communication was clear, affordable pricing and she arrived right on time. Highly recommend if you're looking to add a bit of under-the-sea magic to your child's special day!

After…read morefive years in the industry, I have found that a lot of it comes from lugging large loads of sweet, juicy trash to the dumpster. It's not a glamorous job at all but my small and mighty team have done it with gutso event after event .... until I found out about Party Host Helpers. I thank Baby Jesus every day that a service like this exists. How many times have you hosted a party only to sit down at the very end of the night realizing that you actually did not spend anytime interacting with your guests because you were so busy running around? Party Host Helpers remedies by providing the most polite and accommodating crew of event professionals at your disposable. Whether it is decking out your house with garlands or manning a grill, Party Host Helpers has got your back! They even do un-fun party related tasks like manning a grill, taking out trash, or setting up tables with a giant smile. Prices are very reasonable and finding a helper is easy as making a phone call or sending out an email. I have worked with them twice and the helpers not only come on time but they come early. I've had a variety of different helpers come and all of them were so helpful and fun to hang out with I've always asked them to stay for the party afterwards. I would not hesitate to use them again and am already thinking of ways that I can use them at my daughter's first birthday party!

SOOO unprofessional! I was so upset the girl said oh ill refund you. Yeah no kidding. I had so many people i could have referred this place to and they give Zero Sh*ts. Amazing for business I bet and I see some no shows for reviews as a pattern. Still no one has contacted me. I moved to PA and could have really used the help. Thanks for nothing

This is definitely my kind of place with the bling and Crystal enormous chandeliers, beautiful fountains and Grecian statues that are larger than life! The ceremony space had a huge skylight and a large window where the couple stood enabling you to see the stone bridge, rock fountains, etc. so much beauty!! After the ceremony we were directed to "The Chantilly" room and the display and selection of appetizers knocked my socks off! There was a salad station- cold area with cheese, crackers, fresh fruit, roasted beets, salmon, caprese salad and much much more! There was an Italian station w pasta, meatballs, sausage, pizza, then carved pork and skirt steak area, lots of seafood and even a mashed potato bar and a macaroni and cheese bar. Stupendous! Every time I got up I found something new to try. The wedding space was elegant and large for all to enjoy. We ordered the filet and that was served with tasty asparagus, potatoes, a peeled carrot and a light gravy sauce. I was very happy with all the desserts I tried too. The staff was ultra pleasant and attentive. This was a first class affair. I loved my time at Lucien's Manor and if you have the chance to attend or host an event there I know you will too. Five excellent stars!!

I've been on the fence about writing this review as I see the owner/manager replies to bad reviews…read moreand I truly don't want to engage him, but want others to know the poor experience we had to help others. As was the case with countless others, I had a November 2020 wedding scheduled that was impacted by the pandemic lockdown. That's not anyone's fault. However. The client service from the manager/owner John is abhorrent. (The event coordinators are kind and very responsive.) We'd made deposits, and were scheduled to make another -- literally, I had optimistically send out save the dates -- but the city still had restrictions on how many people could gather in the space. My contract was for 130 people. When I reached out to Arts Ballroom to discuss the way forward, thinking that they MUST have some kind of action plan about how they were going to move forward with existing contracts and triage, there was nothing. No plan. No mitigation strategy. No flexibility to bump the date. Just an expectation of payment for my contracted amount. We asked to move the date to 2021. John told us no, because our Nov. 2020 date would be considered lost revenue because it's a date he could've sold to someone else. This was illogical -- if the city wouldn't let us gather in 2020, he wouldn't have been able to sell the date to ANYONE. That was the whole point -- we were trying to get ahead of what was very obviously inevitable: we weren't going to be able to host anything in 2020, and rather than proceed as planned -- spending all kinds of money on vendors and invitations, only for Arts Ballroom to call us THIRTY DAYS BEFORE to reschedule (yes, they were only alerting to reschedule 30 days out) we wanted to be proactive and get ahead of it. For those keeping score at home: you send wedding invitations 6 to 8 weeks out. Make it make sense. We even offered extra money to move the date for for peace of mind -- our primary concern was exposure to people who were at risk -- no dice. No dice and no action plan. But he did ask us if we wanted to just buy a new 2021 date! Ha. He then cockily talked through *his* obligations to the bank which -- I'm sorry, but I'm a paying customer. His business dealings are not my business--apply for small business pandemic support or something. His responsibility is to his customers, but I guess not. It's also telling that his business had no cash reserves so he had to hold folks' feet to the fire this way. Needless to say, we canceled and lost a significant deposit. In hindsight, it was a small price to pay to not have to work with his clueless arrogance. (He was very confident, despite saying he didn't watch the news, that the pandemic would clear up by our date.) I was walking a dog with a friend this weekend, and happened in front of the venue where I saw someone casually smoking crack on the corner across the street. I chuckled and took it as a sign.

When I agreed to this trip, I knew it was going to be good, but I have to take it back by saying it turned out AWESOME! The level of planning put into this trip from the structured payments, to the seamless airport transfers, to the 5-star villa stay and endless activities on the itinerary was nothing short of incredible. Trevia and her crew handled every minor detail and left not a stone unturned. I have planned many of an event and consider myself extremely organized but Trevia is on a whole other level. She turned a 50th birthday celebration into a whole theme with the guest of honor carried in on palanquins, Indonesians dancers and a whole fire show. My friends woke up to a flower-covered pool celebrating their birthday, flying drones and photo shoot! I applaud her and her team for keeping our 2-week visit to Bali fun and a wonderful learning experience. During this whole experience, her level of professionalism was top shelf. I highly recommend Trevia for your next event!
