It's a shame that I've never reviewed this business before. I suppose that's because I'm not the…read moreone in our house who is creative in making the house appear warm and welcoming. But what is truly a tragedy is the fact that this business will be closing soon. Yes, the owners are retiring. If you're someone who has typically shopped at the chain craft stores and never heard of Experience then you don't know what you missed out on. Were you looking for a unique fake flower or plant to add to your arrangement? This was the place you should have come to. Were you looking to throw a special party and knew who you'd have as a caterer but had no idea who could make your settings and surroundings fit a theme or look absolutely fabulous? Then Experience was where you needed to come. Did you just want ideas on how to make a display or a corner of a room stand out with something beautiful? Yes, Experience was going to help you achieve that goal. So why am I bothering to even tell you all this since they will be closing? Well, everything is currently marked DOWN! WAY, WAY DOWN!! I almost bought things that I didn't need because they were 75% off. My wife is truly going to miss these folks. We wish them a happy retirement.

I recently booked my sons graduation party with On The Go Concierge...BEST decision EVER! Think of…read moreit as an extra set of hands. Once the party started at 2pm, I literally walked around socializing with all of our guests. Although I had much of the decorating done, Jennifer helped with last minute things...balloons, food set up and was just pleasant to work with. She made sure things were flowing smoothly inside with all of the food so that I could spend time making memories instead of being in the kitchen or cleaning up after people. I am so happy that a friend of mine told me about On The Go Concierge!

We love Katie. You don't just get a wedding planner, you get a friend. We live in California, but…read morewas planning a wedding to have in New York. Where do I start? I found Katie and she was amazing. She was a God sent. She gave us options for everything and walked us through everything. The time difference was a struggle, but she was up late repling to all my messages. I'm the type of bride, where I just wanted to show up and everything was taken care of. Since we were planning from a distance, she made that happen. She went over and beyond with great ideas. On our way to the airport to NY, for our wedding, we found out my husband's suit never arrived in NY. Since we were about to get on a plane, I texted Katie our situation and when we arrived in NY, she had taken care of everything and his suit was being sent overnight. She is absolutely amazing with kids. My son and nephew got a bit wild and put their swords on top of the closet and they were told they would get it back once they were done getting ready and behaved. They called her "the boss" and kept telling my sister in law and I that "the boss" took it. We applauded her. My 2 year old grandson was extra crazy and wanted to run around as we were waiting to go into our reception. She scooped him and kept him in line till we were announced. She feels more like family and a friend. When you are planning the most important event in your life, make sure you have Katie on your team.

Without A Lively Event, our 200+ person wedding would not have been the perfect day that it was!…read moreKatie was easy (and fun) to work with, and had tips/tricks that cannot be found on the big wedding blogs across the internet. I live in MA, so I appreciated that she accepted PayPal as means of payment, and was accommodating to communication mostly via email and phone call. Quick anecdote: At the beginning of our reception, my husband and I realized that we forgot to bring snacks for our after party, Katie took the lead on ordering pizzas later in the evening and stayed later than she was scheduled to, to make sure everything turned out okay. We would book Katie again in a heartbeat. Thank you for your enthusiasm, professionalism, and attention to detail!

Great experience with budget bounce rental. We decided to plan a last minute birthday party on what…read moreI later learned was the busiest day of the year for bounce house rentals. The owners communicated with me soon after I emailed on a Saturday on Sunday. Communication was clear, helpful, and quick. The guys who dropped it off were nice, quick and professional as was the guy who came to pick it up. They dropped it off and picked it up when they said they would and the unit was exactly as advertised- clean and awesome. We had an amazing birthday thanks to the water slide combo. Thanks for accommodating our last minute request. One thing I would note is that while the slide can be used dry I don't think anyone should because the heat and friction of the material can hurt. Totally cured with a trickle of water. Also add little ball pit balls for added fun.

Today at the altamont fair I watched this man in the black shirt call a bunch of colored kids…read more"animals" and literally was shewing them away with his hands after they said "sorry sir" ... he yelled at this sweet little girl in her face to get off the ride after saying he allowed kids to go on and now he's had enough. It was so very clear some of these people did not speak full english and the way the girl was crying frightened after he yelled at her, I felt so bad... Just weird how someone who's career is focused on working with children has no patience for them.. Will not even be letting this company around my children and hope they give this man's position to someone who doesn't scare children and ruin their time at the fair. :/

Rented some tables, linens, and chairs for a Party…read more CPRC is easy to deal with, relatively quick to get in and out of. The tables and chairs were in rental condition. Linens were clean as they come. Prices I guess were reasonable. I picked up so I can't speak to delivery or setup. Loses one star for hard to get to hours.

I recently used Clifton Park Rentals for my wedding, and while the end result was what we wanted, I…read morefelt like they were manipulative in their pricing. The online brochure states prices from 2006 (9 years ago!), and we didn't know this until after we met in person at the store and had someone survey our venue. When we pointed out that the new prices are 1.5-2x the online prices, they were not flexible or apologetic. 100% of their business is renting out the items on the brochure, so for them to "not realize this" for almost a decade is obviously a lure to get the customer's foot in the door. Finally, we had to remove about half the items on the invoice that they randomly added on for reasons unknown. When we asked to remove tent walls, their response was pretty much, "we will just keep it on the bill in case it rains. Check the weather and let us know by Monday if you don't need it." Of course this was the busiest week of our lives and we didn't let them know by Monday, since we had already in our minds let them know, but still they would not refund the items that never made it off the truck. Not exactly sure what all that money paid for... If you have an unlimited budget, you'll be happy with the quality of their items. However, if you care about bait and switch practices and company honesty, please don't use Clifton Park Rental. If we weren't planning this last minute, and literally had no other option (trust me, I called around), we would have dropped them the minute they charged us double what was quoted.

I cannot recommend Jacque and Lifetime Events by Jacqueline highly enough! From start to finish,…read moreJacque went above and beyond to create an unforgettable winter ski getaway and an incredible 50th birthday celebration at Whiteface Lodge. Every detail was handled with precision and care--from crafting a daily itinerary of winter activities like skiing, ice skating, and dogsledding, to orchestrating a spectacular birthday bash complete with shuttle service for guests, stunning décor, catering for food and beverages, a fantastic DJ, photographer, and even fun photo booths. The list of what she managed is endless! What truly stood out was Jacque's professionalism and calm confidence throughout the entire process. Even when things were uncertain, she never wavered. Jacque made me feel completely supported, as if I had a trusted partner who always had my back. Her ability to anticipate needs, solve problems quickly, and keep everything running smoothly ensured that I could relax and enjoy every moment knowing I was in good hands. If you're looking for someone who combines creativity, organization, and grace under pressure, Jacque at Lifetime Events by Jacqueline is the one. She turned my vision into reality and exceeded every expectation. I am beyond grateful for her hard work and dedication! Thank you Jacque!! Keisha Grant-Heslop

YOU HAVE GOT TO HIRE AMANDA. Seriously ladies, just imagine all the months you've planned so far,…read morethe endless hours doing research, the thousands of dollars you've spent, all of that.. just to find out it didn't go as planned. And why not? Because no one was there to execute it and make sure all of your planning didn't go to waste. AMANDA DOES IT ALL. I didn't have to worry about anything, I didn't have to burden my maid of honor, or my bridesmaids, or my mother, or my mother in law to do literally anything. Like, who's going to hang on to my lipstick? Amanda. My flower petals didn't get delivered, who ran out quick to buy some? Amanda. I hadn't paid all my vendors yet, who hung on to the money and took care of them? Amanda. Our bridal party took a limo immediately after the ceremony to reception, who made sure everyone's phones and bags made it to cocktail? Amanda. And lastly, who was able to take all of my personal items, our gifts, our main decor, you name it, and bring it to our bridal suite while we went on to our after party? Amanda again. Why would I want the people closest to me have to WORK and worry at my wedding. We were all able to have the most amazing time and I know I wouldn't have been in the right headspace to be able to enjoy it as much if I didn't have Amanda and her team executing every little detail that I had worked SO hard for. Call me crazy but I didn't want to work on my wedding day and you shouldn't either. They're incredible at what they do, I wish I had back up like that everyday! So thank you Amanda's Errands & Events, you girls really are priceless!
