Hi Lisa!
Happy New Year to you! Hope all is well with you and your family!!

Powerhouse Studios is super cool! As soon as the students walked in the door, they began to have a great time! The atmosphere is awesome and so is the staff. From the time of planning the party, the staff was always available for any questions that came up, so,easy to work with and they also were very flexible with the payment plan. Parents dropped off their children with no worries, knowing that the environment would be safe and that there would be enough staff to accommodate anyone's needs. The MC and DJ were so entertaining, they kept the party going and the children did not want to come off of the dance floor. The music was age appropriate, which was very appreciated! There was plenty of kid friendly food, games to play, and lots of cool stuff to look at.

A great place to have a party!

Hi Nichole
I just wanted to let you, Sam, and Melissa know what a wonderful party we had. Thank you so much for being such a well-run team. Everything was great – the food, the staff, the setup, and of course Smitty and company. Many of our guests commented on how great the room looked, how nice the staff was, and lots more. We had a great party.
Thanks
Jane

I just wanted to thank both of you for coordinating our party on Feb 3rd at Powerhouse. You were very accommodating with changing our dates and allowing us to provide you with the music play list. The party was terrific. Sam did a great job at making sure everything was in order when we were there and the guy at the door (sorry I forgot his name) was just the right mix of imposing and friendly. Our daughters had such a great time and the party ran so smoothly. I had not been at Powerhouse for several years and your redecoration looks great. The kids said it was an amazing party - that is high praise for a group of kids that just came off their bar/bat mitzvah year with some kids attending up to 85 very fancy parties. Less is more sometimes.

The party raised over $2400 for the Make a Wish Foundation which is probably the best part. Because this party was such a success from a fun standpoint and a fund raiser standpoint, our girls are thinking about doing it again to raise more fun and funds!!!! Thanks again.

We just had my son's bar mitzvah at Powerhouse Paramus, and it was a fantastic party! First, the food was simply amazing, this is not your typical "catering hall" food, all of our guests were raving about it. Second, the staff was wonderful, from management all the way to the servers. Very helpful, courteous, and with an outstanding level of customer service. The dance crew, MC and DJ were fantastic, and the energy level was ridiculous. Thanks PH Paramus for making our third (and final) bar mitzvah a huge success.

We have been getting even more feedback from the party than we did that night. Consensus was that they were awesome! Not BS-ing. All we are hearing is that the DJ played awesome songs and he knew how to really mix them well. A few of his "personal mixes" were requested more than once. These two are really good and just thought I would let you know. Will recommend definitely. Thanks.

Last Friday on June 24th we had Niesha's sweet 16 at the East Hanover studio. I wanted to thank The Entire Powerhouse Studio for an AMAZING, AMAZING time. I can't thank you guys enough for the professionalism of your place. I can honestly say that every penny we spent was well worth it. Till this date I have family telling me what a great place, and great time they all had. My family and I did not have to lift a finger. The only thing we had to do was have a good time. And that we did.

I also want to thank the DJ. My daughter and my sons were very happy that you played all of the music list that they had requested. John also played great Spanish music. Thank goodness for him because I didn't know of any good Spanish music but he sure did!!! Again thanks so much. DJ John GREAT JOB!!!!

And last but not least, Darell. YOU are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't ever lose that passion you have for this job. You made everything so easy for us. Not only do you love what you do but you also are a caring person. All I can say is THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you and the entire team at Powerhouse for a fabulous and memorable evening for Ally and all of us!!! Everything was as I had hoped and planned…all the details to the peace socks and peace giveaways. We have received rave reviews the last two days from our guests on the food, service, MC/Smitty, dancers (Sabrina and Sarah), photoshop, photographer and Anthony/videographer!!

You were absolutely fabulous to work with as were Nichole and Melissa. I really appreciated you being there for most of the night to not only ensure all went well, but also that I ate!! So thank you for everything (including putting up with my attention to detail)!!!!

Hi Melanie,
I am sorry my thank you is coming so late but I wanted to send a HUGE THANK YOU to you and your husband, Sam for a wonderful job with my son Christian's 6th birthday party on Sunday, June 5th. He had a smile from ear to ear all day and I think he even had a huge smile on his face when he went to bed! You and your team did a wonderful job with the party and keeping the kids entertained. The party was a huge success and my son had a very memorable birthday and for that we thank you. Hopefully, we can celebrate something else at your facility in the future! Have a good summer! Kind Regards,

Hi Nicole,
Thank you again for all your hard work in putting Andrew’s party together. The kids had a blast!!! I was so impressed with the Powerhouse team and the way they made sure everything was perfect - and perfect it was. I am a business owner. If you were in my industry, I would steal you to work for me. The passion and commitment and level of professionalism in which you performed was evident in the results I experienced at the party. I would be remiss if I didn’t tell you the food was excellent. The chef could not have been more accommodating. He actually called Ruth's Chris to get the recipe for cream spinach. How awesome is that? The DJ, emcee and dancers kept the kids dancing all night. They even got Scott to dance. That in itself is an accomplishment.

One of my employees is having her son’s party at Powerhouse in June. She could not wait until I arrived at my office this morning to see how the party went. When I finished telling her how fabulous everything was, she asked if I had any regrets? The only regret is, I should have done my other son’s party at Powerhouse when he made his Bar Mitzvah, the value is incredible.

Again, a big heartfelt thank you to everyone at Powerhouse Studios for making my son’s party a memorable event. Warm regards,

Hi Melissa!
We wanted to thank you for putting together a wonderful party for us! Haley's Bat Mitzvah was great! We wanted to thank you, Smitty, the DJ, Irv, Carmen and Sabrina for a wonderful, energy-packed, fun-filled, time! We all had a blast and it was such a fabulous day! We loved Smitty; he has such energy and warmth that he brings to all parties; he feels like family, and we just loved everything. I can't say enough! :o) I especially loved when Smitty did the "Proud Mary" part of the party (I can't wait to see the videos!) and Haley and her friends were so cute when they did the dance from "Grease" also. Haley and her friends and all of us and our friends had such a great time!

Also Melissa, we felt terrible because we forgot to tip the great photobooth people (nice man and lady) and can you let me know how we can get tips to them? Thanks again! Love,

Dear Sam,
I wanted to take a few moments to let you know what a magnificent job Nicole and her staff did for me on the events leading up to and the actual night of my affair on Feb 26, 2011. Nicole was absolutely amazing. Her heartfelt attention to detail and the above and beyond care she took of my family and guests made my party outstanding. There are truly not enough great words to express how fantastic and professional i think Nicole ( and her catering manager- her name escapes me) are. She is the reason I would book another party and tell all my family and friends to have their affair at Powerhouse. I hope you recognize what a true gift Nicole is to your establishment. Thank you for your time.

OMG!
I cannot begin to tell you how amazing Saturday night was. Our phone has not stopped ringing and the emails have not stopped coming. Everyone is anxiously awaiting the face book photos. People called it the “party of the year”. They couldn’t stop raving about how good the food was, how the placed looked so cool, and of course the amazing music. Not to mention Lady GAGA who was just perfect!! I want to thank you and your team for making my 50th birthday party an amazing night for me and my family and friends. I am so glad we decided to do this.

Again, thank you guys so much and it’s a memory I will cherish for the rest of my life.

Nicole,
Just a quick a note to thank you and your staff for a great party Saturday night. I think that everyone had a great time and appreciated the chance to do something different to celebrate a b'nai mitzvah. We loved having all those different places for the kids to hang out during the party. The video gamers had a place to be and so did the dancing kids. There was truly something for everyone.

Definitely add us to your list of recommenders.

Your entire team was amazing. Darrell really made both young and young at heart get up and dance the night away. The DJ picked the perfect blend for our crowd. The Photo Booth people were also terrific. Very fast and great shots of all the people we love. We made a scrapbook on sight and kids signed under their pictures. Thanks to all involved in contributing to making Ben's Bar Mitzvah one of the happiest days of our lives.

I was at a bat mitzvah at your Paramus facility on this past Saturday night and I have to tell you that it was the best function I have ever been to. Aside from the way the food was done with the stations and the butlered food, the staff there was amazing. From the servers to the DJ and entertainment people to your security people, everyone was top notch. The DJ kept the kids and adults alike dancing up a storm and up on the dance floor the entire night. The security people were low-key but made their presence known and even handled an underage drinking situation very calmly and without any drama. The food was amazing and there were so many “different” things to taste that it was difficult to choose so I tried them all. The choices of food were incredible and there was something there for everyone’s taste. Judging from your history, you guys really know what you are doing.

Hi Melanie,
Everything was wonderful! The candy wheel was a huge hit. The graphics in the middle looked great. It was wonderful for the younger kids and the kids who did not know alot of people. It was a great ice breaker for them. There was so much candy. The flip books were great also. The props were fun. Most of the guests had never seen it before, so they really enjoyed it. Thank you for everything.
