    Smarty Pants - Fun, festive, and fantastic headband style balloons created for a fundraiser in park ridge, IL

    Smarty Pants was fantastic at our recent event AND each and every time I've seen him perform over…read morethe years - which is many times (because many people see how amazing he is)!! It's not just his talent with super fun and surprising balloon characters but his adaptive nature and outstanding personality, engaging everyone at the parties/events. I would absolutely recommend him for all types of occasions : private or big birthday parties, festivals, block parties, - anywhere there will be children!! He is one less thing at your party you need to worry about because he is a sure thing! Truly, he is a whole family favorite!!

    What a fun performer. I came across him at the Park Ridge Kiwanis annual pancake breakfast, where…read morehe was doing some entertaining mostly for the kids but definitely for the adults as well. It's through him that I heard of the Central Street Busker Festival that took place the next day and his line was loooong! Most recently, we went to his show last week that the Mt. Prospect Public Library held for spring break. That was very very well attended, with a long line of folks waiting to get in (and that's with all of us registered to attend!), but the show was a lot of fun. He did a little magic, a little comedy, and some fun balloon tricks. This guy has been doing this all his adult life--unless that's also a joke and part of his act--but regardless, he's great at his job. I'm looking forward to seeing him again and my little one having the chance to pick her balloon creation on her own.

    Tony is EXTREMELY dishonest and has horrible communication. For example, Tony said he is on the…read morevendor list for Trump Tower, Signature 95th, and Lasalle library. I checked all of their websites and/or called for references, and they each never heard of Tony or his company. Tony will also ignore you for days/weeks, even after multiple messages. I highly recommend avoiding this company that is deceptive, lies, and does not respond. RE: Business Owner's Reply- I do not know how you are surprised after ignoring me multiple times when I was ready to move forward with reviewing a contract. You ignored me over 2 weeks and we had a professional relationship. You also gave me 3 Wedding Venues that you said you are "preferred vendor" for, without me asking. I checked all 3 of them and you clearly lied to me. Also, Tony, you response to my review says "some of our reviews tells you that our customers were referred by their venues". This is factually incorrect of your Yelp reviews. I checked all 80 of them. None do. Another lie here.

    The Extreme Sounds Entertainment & Lightning team was fantastic. Tony & his team were very…read moreresponsive & helpful leading up to our event. Tony is very flexible as well. We originally were scheduled to have our wedding in May of 2021, however, had to postpone due to covid. Tony moved our wedding back to 2022 without any issues or pushback As for our wedding day: Marcia (emcee), DJ Max 10, and the photo booth were great. I would highly recommend them! They accommodated all of our music requests that were initially not in the database by adding them for us. They did an outstanding job with our ceremony music as well!

    Could not have nicer things to say about working with My Chef and Jamie Walsh for our wedding day…read morecatering. We met Jamie at our venue's vendor expo and were immediately impressed by their services, pricing, and vast food offerings. It was a no brainer to book with their group! We had our tasting a couple months before our wedding day; which is complimentary to the couple and a $50 charge for any additional guest to join. They have you select 8-10 appetizers, 2 salads, and 4 entrees to taste at their Naperville location. They also have displays of china, silverware, glasses and more to help couples select what aligns aesthetically for their special day. Jamie worked with us to make small modifications to their standard offerings to make the food exactly what we wanted! Our wedding day came and we were floored by the quality/presentation of food, level of detail in place settings, and service from all staff members. We had multiple guests say that this was some of the best wedding food they've had, steaks were not over cooked, and food tasted fresh. Jamie also let us add desserts a week out to reallocate money from a couple of guests who last minute were unable to attend. Their team was even nice enough to service items not purchased through their group: disposables for the late night snack, display and refilling of cupcakes, etc. Overall, their group went above and beyond for us under Jamie's leadership. Our tables looked great, our food was wonderful, and their team was fabulous. We truly appreciate all they've done for us and could not recommend them more! Appetizers Selected: Mac & Cheese Bites, Bacon Wrapped Dates w Honey Citrus Sauce, Cocktail Meatballs, Bruschetta Bar Salad Selected: Mixed Field Greens w Pears, Goat Cheese, Pear Infused Vinaigrette. *Alts: Candied Walnuts & Second Balsamic Dressing to offer Dinner Selections: 1.

She is creative, organized, fun and easy to work with. She helped orchestrate the whole night and helped with service set up ( even designed and created our floral arrangements!) and helped with every detail of our celebration. While I knew we would have a fun party, Stacey's ideas and execution from start to finish made our event spectacular. Highly recommend!!!!

We most recently hired Stacey for our daughter's bat mitzvah. From the very first meeting, she was creative, resourceful, and on top of all aspects of the party. Nothing was halfway. Even when I, long since tired of the planning process, declared something "good enough," Stacey came up with something better, a wow-factor that didn't stretch the budget. On the evening of the event, I didn't do a thing. Stacey never stopped moving, never missed a thing, and when it did occur to me to check on things, Stacey beat me to it by showing up with an update. What sets Stacey apart from the myriad event planners on the north shore is her range, adaptability and accessibility. She can do a lovely, refined bridal shower at the country club just as meticulously as a loud, techno party in a loft space. She never makes you feel like you need to spend more or do more than you'd planned. She doesn't push ideas. Stacey's so very fun and easy to work with, such an authentic person, it feels like planning a party with your best girlfriend, the one who knows all the best places and picks out the best centerpieces and has an amazing little source for favors that no one else has used - and is just as excited as you are about making it a great event.

    Visited with a group of 9 on a Thursday to enjoy 90 minutes of game time! The person working did a…read moregreat job at explaining games and options our group had. We ended up dividing the 90 minutes into (3) 30 minute games so our groups could keep rotating. They have lockers to lock belongings in, rooms can host up to 6 people and have options to order simple beverages while you play. Our first game was Box Party which is their version of a Mario Party. There are a couple of mini game options as you work through the map. This by far was our group's favorite game! We chose the 30 minute game but easily could have played it for the full 90 minutes. Our second game was Floor is Lava. This one was fun but a bit harder than I was expecting it to be. There are parts where you bump into other players so I recommend playing with good friends or family. This is more of a group task game. Our third game was Angry Birds. This overall was the group's least favorite as it wasn't very physical. The game takes on the classic idea of launching birds at towers to get points. This was more individual tasks than team tasks. Overall, this was such a fun experience! They offer games for any aged guest and for any comfort level of players together. I enjoyed having the personalization of our "meeps" to play in each game too.

    My husband and I went and enjoyed it. We did the one hour Squid Game experience and it was pretty…read morefun. I was curious how they would turn the games into an immersive experience. I won't ruin it, but I will say it was definitely fun and there was some intensity to it. While it utilized VR headsets, tt definitely was not a full VR experience. You interact with the game on the walls. There was an option to purchase beverages during the experience which we did not do. After the ad popped up a few times it got to be a little annoying. It was just the two of us so we were able to do each game repeatedly, which made it even more fun because it allowed us to figure out how to solve the puzzles. Because of that I wouldn't suggest going with more than four or five people. Overall, I would say it was worth the trip to Oakbrook.

    During the height of Common Core alignment and standardized test season, my school district planned…read morean institute day. In case you don't already know this, let me fill you in... the last thing a teacher wants during this time of year is another meeting. B-Well was the company contracted for this meeting... yikes! If, to teachers, the month of March is the equivalent to hitting "the Wall" at mile 18 of a marathon, luckily, B-Well is the energy-infused sports drink needed to help power through. The event took place in my building and, in a matter of minutes after school, event organizers somehow magically transformed a building that usually smells like teen spirit into a special-feeling space. Goodie bags, music, local businesses, and a palpable buzz helped set the stage for fitness. Instead of sitting in some uncomfortable chair listening to a speaker lecture me on the importance of how fitness is shown to reduce workplace stress or instead of doing yet another ice-breaker designed to get me talking to my colleagues, B-Well organizers transported me out of my workplace and into "me space". When I walked into my self-selected activity, I felt like I was taking care of myself and not just fulfilling some work obligation. We got right down to the business of working out and just like that, I gained an energizing hour that day. Instead of heading to the gym after the meeting, I was able to head home feeling renewed and refreshed. That NEVER happens after a standard institute day. Teaching is a grueling profession. From the time you walk into school in the morning until the time you leave, you are running non- stop. Questions, planning, grading, strategizing, managing... you barely have time to eat lunch much less sit down with colleagues and share some conversation. The B-Well event my school hosted obviously allowed me the opportunity to get in a workout but it also gave me unexpected colleague time. More than one laugh was shared over my lack of coordination, encouraging words were exchanged when the workout offered a challenge, and it was refreshing to see everyone trying something new. Interestingly, this collegiality extended well beyond the institute day. I noticed at our next team meeting people were still buzzing over the B-Well day. New-found common ground helped ease agendas that might otherwise have had an edge to them. Thanks, B-Well, for providing my colleagues and me with more than you promised.

    From the owner: Our speciality at B-Well is organizing and running wellness events for teachers and businesses. All…read moreof our events are completely customizable to your group's needs. But, no matter what all B-Well events will: 1) promote wellness, 2) build morale for your team or office staff, And, 3) most importantly, we will unite communities together. We unite community businesses that have some shared relationship to wellness (whether it be through movement, food, art or music), all while making a direct, community connection with the specific group hosting the wellness event.
