Their prices are reasonable, they are professional and their work is top notch!

Not only does she do a SPECTACULAR job creating fun, interesting, and cool custom designs while also managing all of her clients' needs, she also is so on top of managing all her fellow vendors respectfully and effectively. She has always been the best in Brooklyn (that's why she is on almost every preferred vendor list in town!!!) and now that she is bicoastal in LA, too, she gets to expand her absolutely amazing business - but also that means you should book her ASAP before somebody else nabs her.

Our night was really special, we had a ton of fun and we were free of any stress with regards to keeping track of the events logistics.

I enrolled by 12 year old daughters in two weeks of this camp based on the rave reviews. One of my…read morekids completed the first week but after the first day of the second week they both decided that they did not wish to return. This was their overall assessment: The staff is kind and friendly. They work hard to handle group dynamics and challenges but my kids described constant classroom management issues that were rarely resolved. This camp does not provide enough enrichment for older students (10 years old and up). Groups are organized by theme, not age band so there was a 3 - 4 year age span in the groups in which my daughters were placed. There is a big difference between abilities and interests in that span and most attention was given to supporting the younger students. My daughters expressed that they were bored and did not learn new skills. Finally, despite reaching out to the camp to express my concerns, I was informed that the students are encouraged to resolve issues on their own. They did not address my concern about the age span in each group. This camp may be wonderful for young students but is not equipped to handle middle school aged students.

Casey and Brett are professional, extremely creative and very detail-oriented! I partnered with them in planning my office holiday party two years in a row. I initially reached out to them after attending many of their public events around Brooklyn and Manhattan. It was always a memorable experience - everything from their DJ's, entertainers, lighting displays and promotional material - they're the whole package and I knew they could provide something extra special for us. After a quick call, they provided me with options/prices that they offer, ideas that were so creative and also work-appropriate. Medium Rare was on-site start to finish and made sure everything went smoothly. I was able to really soak in and enjoy every moment of the event with everyone. My company was SO impressed and still, over a year later, talk about the holiday parties as one of the most fun they've ever attended. They were so great to work with and exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend them! They'll impress you with their talents!

I highly recommend reaching out to them to plan your next event or just asking them for some feedback on how to make an already planned event even more memorable.

Months leading up to our event was seamless to say the least working with Angie who initially showed us the space and Tausee who coordinated all the event logistics and needs we desired. The space is intimate yet uniquely designed for any celebration to remember. Marte staff/mgmt were extremely accommodating when it came to set up and event time. We live less than 10min away from the venue so we were even allowed to access the venue ahead of our event, a month in advance even, to assess our seating/table and photo booth arrangement etc and bring in decor just to see how it'll look in the space. The wait staff and security provided for our event were amazing! Loved having them for the event even to enjoy themselves. Easily accessible, great location. I had and still have no complaints!!!

He was very communicative--even with the 13 hour time difference, I was able to coordinate with him easily. I had my husband be taken out of the house three hours before the party to set up... the balloon arch was delivered right on time. The photographer showed up half an hour earlier than the party. The magician I wanted to hire was booked somewhere else and I only found out a few days before, but the balloon sculpture artist Mark recommended instead was an absolute hit with the kids as well as the adults, which was a pleasant surprise. He made my husband the most outrageous birthday hat. Right when he was supposed to be done, one of the kids tripped and popped his balloons and got upset, and he stayed longer to make him (and a few other stragglers) more balloons. Truly kind. The photographer David was also really so helpful, friendly, and on it! He came early and helped with some of the set up... he was attentive and also very nice to talk to. Very natural (sometimes it's awkward when a photographer's in your face taking pictures but it wasn't awkward at all). We got a USB full of pictures right after the party! Really, what a great experience. My husband had a really great time. Thank you Mark and company!
