The beautiful memory they helped create is something that lives in my heart always. It was such a beautiful setup and Vene was professional and on top of it!

The AVEBOX is a small local business that packs a power punch picnic. I won a picnic for four from…read morethis company on IG. It turned out to be super enjoyable, tasty, relaxing and super pretty without going over the top. Their motto is simple but significant. Venè, the primary owner is very responsive and wants to ensure your picnic is absolutely perfect! I want to say we rescheduled three times due to bad weather!! No lie!! I'm so glad I didn't give up and neither did she on making this picnic happen. For about the third time trying, it rained, POURED.. I informed Venè it was absolutely okay if she just sets the picnic in my house due to the inclement weather. Was indoors, either of our prime choice? No, but I was eager to experience her creativity and talent bestowed upon us. It was definitely worth the wait!! Venè is soo very sweet and was very respectful of my house. She brought along beautiful vibrant cushions to sit on the floor. We later agreed after set up that perhaps the dining room table would be a better height and more comfortable. We still were able to use the comfy cushions on the seats. The AVEBOX ensures that sanitation is a top priority and gloves were used to handle the food and fruit was washed. Two of my sisters and I were so tickled at how beautiful the set up was with greenery adorning the length of the table, a vase of full beautiful white hydrangeas with pops of baby blue and fuchsia baby breath peppered in between. To elevate the picnic even more, she brought two gold candlesticks and we had a candlelight picnic in my own home. It was absolutely gorgeous. Simple but elegant! Venè prepared four small individual charcuterie boards with a real champagne glass for each of us as a vessel for our Perrier water, Coke & Sprite. In small individual gold colored containers were guacamole and tzatziki dip. On a cute tiered stand she had four sandwiches from TASTE, the Hilltop & Freemason. For dessert she provided the cute Virginia sugar cookies from Taste. She even provides a cute menu with your picnic. Another thoughtful and nice touch is the additional use of games. In a nice crate was a tic tac toe board, a deck of cards and two other games called "We're not really strangers" and "Tabletopics." These are all well chosen games because it engages you in conversation and you learn about how others perceive you. We all enjoyed the picnic immensely! Unfortunately, even though my husband was upstairs and was supposed to join us, he was just too tired to participate because he had to work soon and needed the sleep. Luckily, we took pics and we stored his food in the fridge for him to enjoy later! I showed him the pics later on and he said it was "so fancy!" My sisters that joined me were delighted and beaming with smiles, expressing how much they enjoyed it and how relaxing and beautiful it was! The nice part is, you don't even have to clean up. Venè came back after two hours and packed everything up. She even gives you the vase of flowers! She also gave us a very nice greeting card with a personal message and wishing me and my husband a happy anniversary and a happy birthday to my husband. I highly recommend the AVEBOX for your picnic needs. If you want to celebrate with friends, family, a birthday, anniversary, graduation, date night, intimate baby shower, or any special occasion or just because you want a nice simple elegant picnic where you don't need to plan a thing! The AVEBOX is a solid choice! Responsive, receptive, creative, elegant and most of all this company embodies the essence of family value and sharing precious moments with those you care about. To boot, a picnic is created and executed with love, passion and a lot of heart and enthusiasm. Be sure to tell Venè I said hi! Thank you so much Venè for such a wonderful and memorable experience!! Ps be sure to ask her what the AVEBOX means. ;-) I'll let her tell you.

We were fortunate enough to receive a recommendation from our wedding venue, Norfolk Botanical Gardens, for an incredibly talented rentals team, Big Top Entertainment, who exceeded our every expectation! We interacted with a few different team members from Big Top Entertainment, and what struck us most about their team was their ability to capture, transform and bring to life the ideas we had for the vision of our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and reception without missing a beat. Their attention to detail and artistic eye brought out the smallest, most tender moments that may have otherwise been overlooked. We received so many compliments about the beautiful set up that was completed by the Big Top Entertainment team! It's 52 days later and our guests haven't stopped raving about how beautiful the entire night was! The Big Top Entertainment team are not only masters in creation, but they are also true professionals. They arrived on time, maintained a friendly and approachable demeanor, and made every small detail look perfect. The level of communication provided by the Big Top Entertainment team is impeccable as they were always willing to answer an email or call whenever we had a question, so we knew we were in good hands the day of the wedding. They were also true champions to set up many different rentals (clear top tent, wrought iron cocktail hour tables and chairs, and our hanging chandelier to name a few) through an outdoor wedding, on July 12th, in Virginia! The Big Top Entertainment team provided many different ideas and suggestions to make sure we could bring our vision to life in the best and most efficient way possible while staying within budget. They asked an abundance of great questions throughout the process to get a feel for what were our absolute "must haves" and even suggested some things we hadn't thought of. Working with the Big Top Entertainment team has been an absolute pleasure from first contact until the end of the wedding day. Their exceptional talent, professionalism, and dedication to their craft makes them a stand out choice in the world of wedding rentals! We wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking an extraordinary wedding rental service! - The Canavoses

We hired Burwell Bay Audio Visual for our wedding reception in Virginia. Our requirements were very…read morespecific because we needed to project photo and video images from behind a very large screen on a stage in the auditorium at our venue. This kind of service sounds straight forward but it's actually quite technical to do this kind of a thing right and I had lots of technical questions. The owner of Burwell Bay Hans Peterson was very helpful in solving issues and concerns along the way. This included working with another supplier to find a short throw lens late in the game that would ensure that our images would fill out the large screen we rented from Burwell Bay. Hans also came up with a last minute creative way to attach the screen on installation day so that the screen could still be on the stage and not on the dance floor. If you're looking for audio visual equipment and services, I highly recommend that you use Burwell Bay!
