If you want to work with someone who lies and is unprofessional book your party here! Juliette, the franchise owner, was very nice on the day that we booked the party so much so, we didnt look anywhere else we just paid for everything upfront. She gave us an extra half hour of setup time and a bouncy house for the day of the party. My husband broke his arm a few weeks before the party so we called to add an additional hour for setup to make sure we had enough time with one less hand. Everything was fine. The day of the party comes we were there to setup at the time we agreed and
