Words cannot express how fabulous my wedding turned out! To be transparent, I knew it would turn…read moreout fabulous, but the venue itself really helped in that department. It was literally everything I imagined and MORE! The customer service...PHENOMENAL! The food....PHENOMENAL! The decor....PHENOMENAL! The venue itself....PHENOMENAL! Key word here is...PHENOMENAL!!! One of the reasons we booked this venue is because it's literally a one stop shop. They do the catering, the cake, the tablecloths/place setting, bar, the set-up and clean-up! Of course we had a florist, dj, 360 Photo Booth and other crowd pleasers, but the bulk of the items that were required were provided by the venue. The Villa provides a day-of planner, which she was absolutely helpful and knowledgeable, but I wanted someone who knew me personally to advocate for me. I hired another coordinator to be my liaison for the day. I would suggest you do the same, if you're getting married. It's just good to have someone that knows you or will advocate for you when you need them. I had a few hiccups during my wedding day and expressed my concerns to management the day after. The professionalism and courtesy they provided us was extremely appreciative. From start to finish, my wedding coordinator explained everything, responded to all 5 million of my emails - in a very timely manner. Anything we were confused or didn't understand, was thoroughly explained. My original coordinator left her position, but Tracy stepped right in with both feet on the ground. If you're on the fence, give this venue a try. We had our wedding in the tent, which I believe is called the Renaissance Room. The location was perfect, the serving staff were awesome and we just had a knock down, drag out time! People are still talking about my perfect day!

I will admit that I was scared that I had signed a contract with this company after coming to my beloved Yelp! I was reading the comments like oh geez I'm gonna need a vodka. Lol! But seriously. I think that for all the bad reviews they haven't gotten the reputation of good service they deserve! I'm impressed! I cannot think of a better spot or company that I could have chosen for my event. The cakes are to die for and the food was right on! We tried to lie to Shonda, we said we didn't like our food but since there was nothing on the plate she knew we were lying. A girl was just trying to get seconds! It was a tasting... can you blame me for trying???? Overall, my experience with Jeff has been amazing. Shonda is a doll and I can't wait for my event! They literally do it all! All you have to do is show up and show out! Boom! I will be yelping my venue location day of. Cheers... hire them and thank me later!

I attended a bridal expo for inspiration and potential vendors. Something stood out to me, a…read morebeautiful flower display. As I got closer, I realized it was a lovely floral display of a rose tree and 2 white cherry blossom trees. I fell in love instantly! I spoke to the representative from Dalissa and found out they rent and deliver all types of items for weddings, parties, or any type of function. I checked out their website and saw they had everything from fancy chairs and tables to floral arches and special event items. I made contact and decided to rent the rose bush and cherry blossom trees. The delivery went seamlessly and so did the pick-up. My guests were blown away at the look and feel it gave the room. I'm extremely happy that I decided to rent these items, they went with my theme and they looked so real and elegant. I initially thought about making my own arch, but this was so cost effective and it was taken back afterwards, so I didn't need to figure out what I was going to do with it after. Plus, who can beat a set-up, delivery, and pick-up without me having to lift a finger. I will absolutely use this company in the future for any party rentals I may require.

Will email / speak to one person and then email another person with questions. How are you talking to one person on the phone and then emailing another about the conversation and they are looking like WTH! Delissa, although pleasant, her management team not professional. All are confused and unprofessional; they don't even communicate well with each other so there is no surprise they cannot communicate well with customers/clients/potential clients. To me, based on the LACK of communication and LACK of responses and LACK of professionalism from management office outside of the owner, quotes & rental prices are too high to even want to deal with this business. Sorry.

I found Silvia to be responsive, talented, and very accomodating - which is important when trying to make your vision for an event a reality. We had a Black and White Bowtie theme for the party and Silvia was not only a wizard with the balloons, but she helped me with the flower arrangements and set up (guest tables, candy bar, cake table, signage, balloons.) and tear down as well. Honestly, I don't know how I could have pulled off the event without her. There was nothing event related that she could not help with herself. Other Event Planners that I spoke to were merely prepared to coordinate (help me find a florist, a baloon person, decorator, etc) and were not really hands on or able to provide any real value themselves. Silvia will not only plan your event but will put the finishing touches on it by hand if necessary as well. She is a very classy lady and you will love working with her!

Fey and her team made everything easy for us. They helped us find a venue, select decor, and find very high-quality vendors (caterer, videographer, photographer, and DJ) at reasonable prices. Our wedding went smoothly as Fey and her team coordinated the entire event from setup and breakdown to ensured that everything happened on schedule. During our awesome day, my wife and I only had to focus on ourselves and our guests. We had an AMAZING time and I'd highly recommend Statuesque Events to anyone.

This review is for the Mad Science Summer Camp ONLY…read more This business is the kind where they find a place to rent out for a few weeks sight unseen *so the venue can be filthy, falling apart, dangerous as in failing equipment, broken down classroom seating and utensils, and they won't know it. Our camp was housed in a filthy and musty public elementary school in a small classroom. This room was too small for the entire group and so all were cramped. The reality was ALARMING that the instructors function as bodies to direct a script but are not truly educators *so you can have a recent college grad with a BA in History teaching your kid "science" and add to that a person not in tune, or give a hoot about kids, how to educate, nurture nor watch over children. Worst of all and YIKES they do not not pay attention nor supervise these kids, they are hands off if any trouble or accidents happen and they do not report injuries to the parents. These instructors are oblivious about harm done to the student and are more worried about having time to get and eat lunch, drinking Starbucks, being on their phones, etc.* SOOOOOO With that as the preface all I can say is do not waste your money because your child will not learn much science. All they will get is a babysitter who pretends to be a teacher, who if you are lucky feigns cheeriness, add to that the other children in the class will not respect the instructor nor their peers and as in the case of my daughter, get physically injured. SO WHAT HAPPENED? An experiment went sideways and my daughters entire back had the skin scraped off while being pulled by a boy to the point that her shirt came up while being pulled the equipment broke, and the skin came off she was left with a raw back, no attention was given and it was bleeding. The instructor kept her mouth SHUT and only when I went to hug my daughter once I picked her up, did she cry out in pain and showed me her entire back was still bleeding. The instructors were gone by then so I had to wait until the next day. I went up to the main instructor the next day and told her it was unacceptable to hide a severe injury such as what my daughter had suffered and all she could muster was "I AM SORRY I HAD NO CLUE ANYTHING HAPPENED" Huh? Aren't they watching a group of 6 and 7 year olds? And there were 2 instructors for the group. I WOULD NOT TRUST ANY MAD SCIENCE SUMMER CAMP AND I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY TO ANYONE. ***I find it highly unusual that they have such high reviews seems suspicious and why I question every five star review*** it

She responded to my questions quickly and was always willing to adjust our invoices or provide recommendations. They are also the most affordable company I've found in the DC area. On site, the catering team went above and beyond to ensure our events went seamlessly. I have never had guests compliment the staff and the menu as much as they did with St. Germain! As the event coordinator, I appreciated that Ceecho, Donal, and Johnny checked in with me throughout the event, quickly adjusted to the schedule changes, and were efficient and helpful throughout the set up and tear down process.

Their menu is expansive and can accommodate all types of dietary restrictions--we had dairy free, vegan, pollotarian, and gluten free folks, and they all enjoyed the food. Set up and tear down were efficient, and the staff was so friendly, polite, and professional! And the food! I over ordered, so the whole library staff got to eat, too. Everyone raved about the buffets (we did a "cookout" style, a "fajita bar" style, and we had breakfast for three days). Everything was cooked well and seasoned well! The fresh fruit was delicious! Can I recommend them any more than I have? If I'm ever in the DC/DMV area again for an event, I will definitely give them a call.
