Dudes and Divas Party Place

Where do I begin… We wanted to celebrate my nieces 3^rd birthday recently and everything was set up and planned out, which is what we thought, Once we arrived at the place the doors were not opened and the place was closed. After standing outside in the freezing cold with all the guest and their kids we were finally able to contact the «Owner» which informed us that someone called and cancelled the party. However, they did not provide a call back to the number on the contract to confirm this. The employees were contacted to get to the place immediately however we waited a total of 2 hours outside in the cold with about 16 children there which is UNACCEPTABLE. The ladies did make the best out of it, although the situation was VERY embarrassing they did entertain the children and did the best they could. I do not recommend this place, they seem to be VERY irresponsible.

This has been a review that I have been DYING to write. Dudes and divas where shall I begin. I’ll start with my own separate star rating and then finish with why you are receiving 1 star.
Price: *** why I first saw the price I immediately wanted to book. I thought the price was amazing. I booked my party 4 months in advance. When I kept trying to pay the rest of the balance they refused to accept my payment. Little did I know it would be because I’d end up spending an extra 150 in gratuity and taxes.
Hospitality: ***** there they get 5 stars. The girls (NOT INCLUDING MANAGEMENT) were amazing! And very good with the kids.
Here’s the grand finally as to how they received a 1 star overall. THE OWNER!
So a week before my party one of the party planners called me to discuss what would be the event details and as I’m going down my list of questions and confining prices that were quoted to me more than a few things were off. Normally in a situation like that I would reference the website BUT one of the girls there told me the website was not all accurate and needed to be updated. After she informed me of the issue with the website I asked her if I could write down the correct pricing while she quoted me and she said yes. When I had a manager call me I couldn’t believe the demeanor in which she carried herself. In my first five sentences I started to explain to her how back in October I booked my party and she cut me off saying «Then what’s the point» she didn’t realize I hadn’t had my party there. Since I was so taken back by what she said I asked «Excuse me? Did you just say what’s the point?» And unapologetically she said, «if you already had your party here what’s the point?» Not knowing my party was the weekend coming up. After that she was a nightmare. She was so unprofessional, belligerent, and RUDE that two people who were going to book parties there after coming to mine officially changed there mind after I told her my discrepancies with Tara (the self proclaimed owner) and the pricing. Tara also told me that she was going to cancel my party and not give me back my $ 150 deposit. Obviously she was not that foolish and we still had the party there.
With all of this being said had my encounter with Tara not happened I probably would’ve given the place 3 to 4 stars. Probably three for the pricing issues BUT as the owner of the establishment you take ownership of your behavior which reflects the rating of your company!

I’m giving this place 1 star not because of it’s looks because it is clean and the facility itself is very nice. #1 The staff is CLUELESS from the day I went to book the party till the day of the party, #2 They offer you a better sale then groupon supposedly cause they give you a free piñata, BS the piñata was never brought up the day of the party which I did not make a big deal about it cause my daughter turned 12 she’s a big girl #3 They NEVER explained that I would be charged taxes, and gratuity based on the FULL price of the party package so their deal was 199 I paid taxes and gratuity on 349.00 which I personally think is nuts on top of the fact that NO ONE EVER MENTIONED THIS!!! To top it all off they NEVER give you a copy of the contract they tell you to take a picture of it. #4 I don’t know how it is for little kids party, but def not a place for big kids party the hostess were asking my guest what should we do with them? For a good half hour or more the kids all stood in a corner and did their own thing. If your hosting these parties your activities should be planned ahead of time, and #5 It was a SURPRISE PARTY someone should have been expecting her in the front no one was there and when the girl realized we were outside all she did was open the door and none of the guest had even realized my daughter was there already. Also there was no owner or anyone in charge while the party was going on on the primes my guest over heard the girls calling someone to verify amount that I should have been charged because there was so much confusion.

Great venue… nonstop fun for the kids… very affordable, very helpful and skilled staff. For a small fee i think it was $ 25 or $ 30, you’re allowed to bring your own food! It was a great great birthday for my daughter.

just had my daughters 4^th birthday here it was by far the worse experience ever!!! all was included was as far a s nail painting games pizza and dress up and games was true. now when it came to the kids nails being painted i wasn’t expecting a wonderful job but the girl got nail polish all over my 4yr old daughters nails her hands and fingers got stuck to her clothes and even got it in her hair now i ask nicely if they had nail polish remover and she told me no! then I’ve ask well why would you guys do nails if you don’t carry all the accessories that come with it i mean they knew it was a 4yr old party b4 we even got there. now I’ve notice that they weren’t to found of me but i have not caught on as to why yet. i had a 10 kid party package in which i had about that much and maybe a lil over but that because they were the older sibling to the lil kids that were there and did not participate. now the two girls that were entertaining look annoy because there was only 4 kids the whole two hours doing the fashion show and the limbo and all the other games they did so it kind of slow them down a lil. i had the piñata which was a bad idea had i knew what kind of candy they was going to have jaw breakers butter Scotch a bunch of hard big candy like wow really all the moms were on there toes making sure their lil ones didn’t get to eat the candy it was a chocking hazards (candy piñata Horrible) for the price they could have done a way better thoughtful job on there part. now towards the end the owner came in along with 4 more staff members and my husband and i had notice that the girl counting the kids and she immediately shouted 14 now to our understanding it was only suppose to go based on the kids that participated and the kids that ate again there was only 4 kids who did all this any who after she said the number of kids i went upfront to let the owner know there wasn’t all in the activities and that i should not be charged any extra not knowing i was the mom i pretended to leave for fresh air into i heard 14 kids oh yeah they getting charged awesome i don’t care if they participated or not ! now i turn around and told her excuse me i am the mother of the birthday girl and i can assure you that 14 kids did participate 3 came late and i should not be charged by head count because this is not what i was told when booking i looked towards the other girl that counted 14 and told her were there 14 kids participating she did not reply and just walked away and back into the room i then saw there problem was racism i am tan complexion dr and Russian my husband being pr and Germain along with the both of us having credentials of a USMC is no wonder we are getting less and less ppl that want to protect jerks like this in the world we were disgusted by the whole party thanks to god my daughter was on her way to another party which turn everything back around for us. also the party planer did not do anything i ask for they went the cheaper the better i ask for lots of balloons like you see in the photos i had we had 9 total and 2 on the princess chair… stay away from this place they also hit you with another 100 $ charge at the end which we was not told this at all upon booking and best believe the blond head with the blue eyes will catch up with u to make sure that’s paid for. she said its on the website but i didn’t see it at all!!! so for two hours your looking at 450 $ so keep that in mind. stay away from these crooks the 5star reviews they write there own. few days later i just looked at my credit card statement and it appeared that dudes and divas did not get enough of going in my pockets just saw an outrages charge for 135,00 $ filing a dispute this is the worst place ever!!!

Just had our daughter, Madison’s 4^th birthday there Saturday, 5÷3÷14. The kids had an awesome time, from nails and make up, tattoos, cupcake making, games, singing, dancing, dressing up and modeling. They were entertained the entire time. The employees were great.
However, the price for the ice cream sundaes and piñata were a rip off. First off, I called the day before to cancel the piñata because I was already getting the ice cream and didn’t want to overload the kids with sugar. I was told it was a disney frozen piñata, but I got a pink sphere shaped piñata with 2 small frozen plates taped together on top. Granted they stuffed it for us, but the quality was not worth $ 40 and not what I expected. Maybe $ 20 – 25. Plus I called to cancel it and got it anyway. Once it was taken out and shown to the kids, I couldn’t just say forget it, I don’t want it. Now on the the $ 50 ice cream sundae… we got 2 breyers ice cream 1.75 quarts with 5 different toppings of marshmallows and candies, placed in plastic cups. Now I know that was not worth $ 50, if I knew I could have paid the $ 30 fee to bring outside food and bought all the given ingredients and still not have paid $ 50!!!
The party for 10 kids with the pizza and drinks and included activities are definitely worth the $ 300. However the add-​ons were not worth it.
The kids definitely had an awesome time and that’s what matters the most. I just wish I could have saved the $ 90 I spent on the add-​ons. So 3 stars go to the amazing service and employees who kept the kids entertained and happy.

Just had my daughters 4^th birthday party here and it went beautifully! Kids were busy the whole 2 hours. Non stop fun. Very friendly and attentive staff. Made the birthday girl the center of the day and everyone loved it. Will definitely recommend you will not be disappointed.

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! i wouldnt recommend this place to anyone. its a rip off !! Very Unorganized!!! i was promised things and they didn’t stand by their promise. i purchased their buildabear theme and she didnt even have enough bears for the kids and promised me before hand that she would order more pink bears AND SHE DIDNT!!! I purchased Barney and That was HORRIBLE!!! He just stood there the whole time. They didnt have barney interact with the kids or play a few games or even sing along. Honestly, i can keep going about how horrible this place is. End of the day i wouldnt recommend it.

I was interested in doing my daughter’s 1^st birthday here almost 2 year ago and being that my husband and i never been to one of these kiddy events, we were interested in peeking in to just get an idea of set up and how these parties take place. The stuff were very nice and told us to come back in an1.5 hour when the party started to get an idea. We already put money down and secured a date. When we returned 1.5 hour later after roaming the neighborhood, the owner was there and was so nasty. I told her I booked and just wanted to peek in. She said «No» and closed the party room door immediately in our face and saying it’s against there policy. If it’s against their policy, then the staff should be aware of that. I asked for my money back and she did give it back. But she was so rude and made us feel so inferior and at that point I didn’t want anything to do with that place. I cant help to think if we parked our Mercedes in front of the establishment when arrived, we would have been treated differently. Wont be going there again!
I spent 3X as much on a party that year and doing so again this year. Seeing this place still exist whiles I’m party planning makes me angry all over again. 2 YEARS LATER!

I just had my daughter’s 4^th birthday here and it was a hit! I don’t understand the bad reviews at all. I was nervous, due to the reviews, and it made me visit the store twice and call multiple times to ensure everything was in place. I shouldn’t have worried. Everything was perfect. We had a mix of boys and girls and kids aged 4 and under and 9 and up (my older daughter’s friends) and the party suited them all. They started w makeup and tattoos. Then they played musical games. Food was next and the pizza was really good, so good in fact, that many people asked where it was from. The food for the kids was included and the pizza for adults was $ 20. Soda was $ 5 a pitcher. They also have a catering menu available. They played more games and also dressed up all the kids, girls as princesses and boys as superheroes. The kids loved this best. They even provided the kids w cupcakes to decorate. I brought cupcakes as well, and they displayed them nicely for me. They bagged up all my presents, handed out my goody bags and were just great at getting all the kids to participate and have fun. The hosts, Brianna and Sandy, went out of their way to make sure the party went perfectly and it DID. They were very patient, untangling kids from balloons, dealing w the shy kids and they were calling out all the kids by their names. They sang, danced, served, played and cleaned and they made it all look effortless. I usually have the parties home so I know how much work they put in. Also, when I tipped them, they tried to give the gratuity back and explained a tip was included on the bill. It was (be forewarned), but they really deserved more and JUST for asking if we wanted a refund on the tip ensured that we made the right decision by giving them more.
I cant comment on the ice cream or piñata since we didn’t get those add ons but they do have them available. You can also bring your own piñata or food, but there will be a charge.
The place is nice, with a small toy area in front and the party room in back. The party room is large and very clean. The bathrooms were also immaculate.
I even met the owner when I stopped in to work out my party details and she couldn’t have been nicer. I can’t believe someone called these people nasty. They couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating. All in all, the party was in the ballpark of $ 350 and in my opinion was worth much more. I’ve paid twice as much in the past, for parties w less activities, and no food included. Thank you Dudes and Divas for making my daughter’s day extra special!

Great place to have your party, boy or girl. 2 hours of non-​stop entertainment for the kids. There wasn’t a dull moment from singing and dancing, to ice cream sundaes, to limbo, to decorating cupcakes, to line dancing, to pinatas… the list goes on. The party girls were amazing and really made the birthday girl feel so special.
I highly recommend Dudes n’ Divas for your little loved one!

I don’t have as favorable review as anyone else. My daughter had her 7^th birthday party there. On the door when you walked in it said Happy 8^th Birthday and spelled her name wrong, not to mention she was 7. The party itself was ok but for what I paid it should have been a lot better. The pizza was cold and only one of the two helpers were nice, the other was a snot. The owner was ok to me but another mother said she was nasty. The owners daughter participated in the party. She was about 9. Of course I would never turn a kid away, but I just thought it was unprofessional. I’m surprised she didn’t charge me for her, lol.
