She forced a few of our guests, seniors, who arrived 15 minutes early, to stand in the parking lot on a very hot and humid evening. Her job as the owner was to make our guests feel welcomed and comfortable, neither of which she accomplished. To add insult to injury, the two small ac units, which would be suitable for a small bedroom, provided NO comfort at all. The temperature in that place was unbearable! Caroline bombarded me with passive aggressive, negative comments throughout the evening which I tried so hard not to let bother me. Her final performance of the evening was her demand that we take our garbage with us! I WAS HUMILIATED! I was not only robbed of thousands of dollars, (yes, thousands, for 42 people, and we brought our OWN alcohol and food) but robbed of the special evening I had planned for my daughter, her dear friends, amazing family and her soon to be family, on what should have been a memorable evening Four weeks after the disappointing event that still haunted me, I sent Ms. Bossetti an email expressing my concerns. I have never received a response from her. Watertown is a small town and stories get shared and stories travel, so I'm surprised others haven't written their reviews. I wish they had, as I would not have had to waste my time writing this and my daughter would have had beautiful memories of her shower. I hope no mother will have to experience the disappointment I have"

I remembered how much I enjoyed the space the first time, and this visit reminded me why. The venue is beautifully decorated with a clean, modern aesthetic that instantly creates a calming and relaxing atmosphere. It also always smells amazing, which adds to the overall experience. The staff has been friendly and welcoming on both of my visits, making it easy to feel comfortable as soon as you walk in. The open layout and abundance of natural light make it a great setting. Whether you're attending a class, a community event, or hosting something of your own, The Pearl Aura offers a peaceful space that feels thoughtfully designed. I'd gladly return for another event.

When I got home I quickly "liked" her Facebook page and was amazed at not only the number but the variety of classes that Laurie offers. For only having a brick and mortar location since May 2016 - she has tapped into a market for those of us whom want to be creative but don't want to just sit and paint. From creating your own laundry detergent to designing your own jewelry, Laurie has created a variety of class for every age imaginable. I also recently attending a Sunday Yoga and Craft class (which I believe is going to be a monthly event). An hour of relaxing and gentle yoga followed by crafting (that day we made glass magnets) is the best way to spend a Sunday afternoon. The class was intimate and I loved Laurie's energy and positivity. Can't wait to sign up for another class soon!

Upon driving up to the venue, you are greeted with a long driveway that takes you directly to the entrance of the venue. You can walk along their garden path, passed their beautiful garden archway that leads you to their gardens. They also have a chapel right beside the location where a lot of wedding ceremonies take place. Upon entering the main location, you are greeted with just opulence. White marble flooring, white walls with gold trim. It's just spectacular. To your right, there is a grand staircase with a piano forte where a lot of pictures are taken. The ballroom we were in was Ball room B, and it was nothing short of amazing. A grand staircase that leads to a couple of suits where brides, bridal parties, and birthday girls can get ready at. The room itself is grand. Hosts about 300 people or so. It has a bar towards the back of the room. The food was delicious. We had appetizers, main courses, and desserts. Everything from the meat and cheese, fruits, crab cakes, calamari, egg rolls, etc. was delicious! I ate so much food and felt no guilt about it. If I lived in the state, this would definitely be my go-to location to host any events as they do go above and beyond to help make sure things run smoothly on the day of the event. Towards the end of the night, we had the pleasure of meeting one of the Co Owners, Ernesto, I believe. He was very polite and asked how we liked the venue and if we had a great time. He even took the time out to show us more of the grounds that we didn't see as we were not in that area. We also were able to sneak peak, another venue that was hosting a wedding, and that room was GRANDER than the one we were in. Over all great experience, and as an attendee, I had a great time, had no complaints, and was glad I was invited and got to experience this magical night with my cousin.
