I would not hesitate to recommend them to my friends and family for a fun and whimsical sleepover event!!

I attended a baby shower last year and the mom-to-be had the most gorgeous balloon garland that…read morefeatured decorations that also fit into her theme. I asked her for the contact information and she sent me the website for Sweet Gifts which I saved onto my "Favorites" links on my phone. Fast forward one year later... I'm planning my own socially distanced "drive by" and "drop in" baby shower with close friends and family. One of the first businesses that I inquired was Sweet Gifts because I've always wanted a balloon garland. However, Sweet Gifts is more than just balloons, balloon walls, and garlands -- they also do custom laser cuts and engraving and grass backdrop rentals as well! Their balloon work is so aesthetically pleasing and they really take their time to curate an impressive look for your event (if you don't believe me, check out their Instagram for some of their beautiful work!). I went with the grass backdrop rental, laser cut, and a ready-to-hang garland to display. The team came on time and was able to set everything up within 2.5 hours! They also wore masks throughout the whole setup and always knocked on the door to make sure to get my opinion on the display. I received several compliments from our guests and have told them all about Sweet Gifts! Additionally, they came back later that evening to take down the grass backdrop and left us with the ready-to-hang garland and laser cut for us to keep. When it comes to payment, you will pay 50% for your reservation and then 50% the day before. They also accepted payment through various methods. I definitely plan to use Sweet Gifts for future events!

When the crew arrived they were very professional and done so quickly I couldn't believe it. I have found kits that you can buy to make displays but I cant imagine ever being able to make something so beautiful. Jen was amazing, she felt like some of the design elements would crowd the space and made some suggestions that were even better than the original ideas. I highly recommend this company for that special design for any event.

I have been…read morearound the toddler play gym circuit and I am truly a fan of this location due to it's varied activities, top notch birthday parties, and flexibility to meet the needs of many families. First off, the instructors and front desk are absolutely fantastic. They pay attention to the children, make moving your body fun, and are easy to chat with when you have questions. Many of the same staff is the same from when the business opened over a year ago which says a lot about the business itself. Flexiblity: I have attended cooking classes, art classes, movement classes, and parents' morning out classes here and all were fantastic. Our preschool was even able to organize a private multi-hour class date here when we were closed for a teacher workday. Parents could leave or stay, or even do some work in the warm and welcoming. lobby. Birthday Parties: I love the fact that booking a private party gives you use of the gym and party room so you can really spread out. The lobby has toys and tables which allows for a really natural transitional time between each activity which is a nice touch. Now that summer is here, I will definitely drop in one of their classes. We are lucky to have a spot like this so close to us.

Ryan from Da Vinci Sound and Vision was a consummate professional thought the planning process of…read moreour wedding and on the day of the event. With his help we were able to pull off a lovely ceremony and an awesome reception with ambiance and dancing in spades. Ryan replied promptly to emails and phone calls and was proactive in gathering information that he required. I was extremely picky with the songs that I wanted to be played at our wedding and pretty much chose each song to be played during the event. Ryan was happy to accommodate my requests and offered many valuable suggestions throughout the planning process including song choices, number of songs, song flow, light effects and general flow of the event. We didn't have a designated wedding coordinator though the venue coordinator did act as such on the day of the event. Ryan worked with her to coordinate each step of the day and pulled it all off without any major issues. The minor ones that did arise didn't catch him off guard (like when they brought out dinner before the toasts) and he dealt with them professionally and was able to minimize their effect of the rest of the event. Ryan was a great MC for the event and was enthusiastic and fun without being overbearing. He helped create just the kind of light, fun and friendly atmosphere that we were looking for. He was also vital to managing the flow of day's events like dances, toasts, cake cutting, etc. We literally could not have done it without him. The sound and lighting equipment provided was top notch to say the least. The ceremony was outside and everyone was clearly heard though the secondary speaker system and portable mics. The ceremonial music played though these sounded great as well. The speakers for the reception were quite loud and crisp and could have easily filled a room 10x the size of our rather large reception hall. The best part however was the lighting. Ambient lighting was provided that gave the room a very warm and tasteful glow that evolved as the night went on. The main light rig held a number of lights, lasers and a disco ball that Ryan gradually increased the intensity of as the night went on. By the end of the night (per my request) it was like being in a world class night club or at an arena concert. Overall I would highly recommend Da Vinci Sound and Vision to anyone who is interested in DJ services. I looked into a number of companies and no one came close to offering the same level of value that they did. I can't say what other companies level of customer service is like but as someone who has made a career in the IT and medical customer service field I recognize and appreciate great customer service. Da Vinci Sound and Vision provided truly great customer service.

He brought down extra equipment to facilitate my husband diong a surprise song with his band and helped me organize a surprise percussion piece. I have never seen my family dance that much and couldn't believe he even got crazy Uncle Bob to boogie. He by far exceeded our expectations and we couldn't' be happier with service.
