    The owner called the police attempting to shut down the party, 3 hours earlier than the contract states.

    I do not recommend booking this venue with the owner, Balbir Manik, "Bob." My family hosted a quinceañera on 10/5/24 and Balbir won't give my family their $800 deposit back. When my family texted asking him for the deposit at first he said we had damaged things, then he said he would call the police, and then he said we had too many people at the party. He was just looking for any excuse he could find to not give us our money back. He also texted my family saying we harassed him and that he would get lawyers and send us a cease and desist letter. He also got upset because my family left honest reviews about his venue. If you google his name you will see he is already being sued for fraud and if you read previous reviews you will see he has a horrible track record of cheating previous clients. My family also paid $9000 to rent his venue from 4pm-2am and at 11:00 pm he called the police attempting to shut down our party. He also instructed his security guard to not allow people inside so a lot of our guests were turned away at the gate. The police came and agreed with my family that we had not done anything wrong. He is replying in his reviews that my family pushed his security guard, LOL, which makes no sense since the police were there and didn't arrest anybody and the security guard didn't say anything to the police. He is also replying that minors were drunk at the party, which if that were true then his bartender should be arrested since she was the one serving alcohol. He also said we had 600 guests which is not true since his security guard has shut the gates for a long time and a lot of people had left in that time. I think Balbir is just saying whatever lies he can since he looks really bad right now I have attached text messages between my family and Balbir, his messages are the grey ones. You can see how unprofessional he is and thinks he can intimidate us by threatening legal action, which he already attempted by calling the cops and failed. We are not scared of any legal action, he should be since he broke the contract and is already being sued in court by someone else for FRAUD!

    Seen this on one of his other events and I had to have it too ! I hope this helps

    See all

    Jason was a big help setting up the event details at my school. He answered all of my questions and…read morewas flexible in sending me an invoice that was needed for budgeting paperwork. Wally came an hour and a half before the event began and set up the photo booth in our school gym. He had great interaction with our students and explained to them how the timer worked before each group took their photos. They provided the backdrop and props to wear or hold. The break down of the booth was quick after the event ended. The students loved taking pictures with their friends and receiving the photo strips. A Google Drive folder was shared with all of the original images to use in our school yearbook. Thank you for your efficient service and flexibility with our school needs. We will be working with Instapix again soon!

    This company is by far one of the best I've done business with. They are extremely punctual, they…read moreanswer their phones promptly, and they are 100% true to their word. They went above and beyond for our programs and they made templates to fit our themes. They made sure every guest was taken care of and they helped the children step by step through the photo booth options. They also bring their own props. They are stress free! On behalf of the Kern County Libraries (Southwest Branch) WE APPRECIATE YOUR BUSINESS!!! Thank you again for coming in and we look forward to having you at future events. We couldn't have done it without you! 100% recommend. If I could give you more stars I would! To all other Libraries and events--- this is a must have. Children and parents love it!
