First time here, had a great time. Older, but beautiful venue, and very kind employees. It was nice that the staff said goodbye on our way out. They just seemed like they genuinely care about your experience.







Beautiful show. Cashless venue btw. They do offer cards you can add cash too so you can buy things in the venue if you only have cash. Jvke is amazing 🦋❤️

Dan the Cakeman is a delight to work with. His knowledge and expertise makes ordering a breeze!














Gorgeous architecture!!! I will definitely go here again. Parking was easy to find just be prepared to pay 30 bucks... not bad if you want to avoid looking. The theater had great sound with no echos. They let us in promptly on time and even had a merchandise line on the side of the building after you enter. Drinks were good and staff was helpful. I had a great time here.





Beautiful venue in Los Angeles, the architecture is gorgeous. Had seats in the back section, still could see the artist clearly. There is a bar upstairs with ample sitting. Bathrooms are clean and nice. If you have the chance, I would absolutely recommend going.











The theater itself is beautiful inside and out. The art deco architecture is fantastic. Inside there were lots of bars around that also served food. Lots of food and things to do in the area around the theater. Lots of parking around also.








Been seeing shows at this venue since 2007 and have always had an amazing time. Easy access paid parking next to the venue, clean bathrooms, decently priced drinks and great acoustics. Saw Powerwolf last week and got the VIP section. Best part about VIP was how you aren’t squished in with everyone else and have access to a bartender. All of the staff there is really friendly and helpful.










My favorite smaller, more intimate venue in the LA area! I've been there for concerts and comedy shows. Be warned that the drinks and snacks are pricey, but they're not above the norm for LA, so it is what it is. It is cashless, so bring a card for any payments you plan to make. My only complaint is that the VIP experiences are somewhat disorganized.










The Art Deco architecture here is outstanding. It truly is a historical gem us Angelinos have in our city. Came here for a concert and entrance/security was easy, parking is recommended elsewhere than their own parking garage (cheaper and less congested to exit) and there's plenty of bars and snack stations available on the lower and upper floors. The theater acoustics are awesome but I will say the upper seating is a bit uncomfortable after a while. I would return here for another show, or at least to stare at the architecture.

Dan's cakes are simply wonderful! No matter the flavor, they are consistently delicious and his icing can't be beat! 11/10 Recommend!

I would 110% recommend this venue to anyone looking for breathtaking views of NYC and a relaxing environment. I enjoyed being a vendor here. There was ease of access for both street parking and a nearby parking garage during both set up and pickup times on a weekend. The venue was easy to locate and every staff member that I encountered was so respectful, friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. They have amazing professionalism and hospitality here. The views are one of the best in NYC. This venue is extremely clean, organized, and safe. It’s versatile for any event!

Steve, Tim and the crew at Sho Biz have been taking care of us since the early 1990's! They have easily helped us raise more than $100,000.00 for various charities! Always punctual and always professional! Looking forward to many more events! Jimmy Cirrito - Jimmy's Old Town Tavern, Herndon VA






I had the pleasure of working with Tanya during a beautiful May wedding day at Rose Hill Manor, and her/TEG team was TRULY the best to work with! They were all so helpful, positive, and just overall a joy to have alongside a couple during a wedding day. Thank you, Tanya!

Show Biz Productions was at our bar mitzvah this weekend. THEY. WERE. AWESOME. They made the bar mitzvah feel like a MILLION BUCKS and they were so patient and kind with everyone from age 9 to 89! If we could give them a higher star rating than 5 we would! Professional. Kind. Knowledgeable. Fun. Efficient. Lovely. And, when dealing (see what I did there) with a budget - they are super reasonable. We can't wait to host another casino party with them. Thank you Steve and Show Biz Productions!!!!




Loved both cakes Dan did for Emma and Juan. They tasted fabulous and looked amazing. Listened to what they wanted and exceeded their expectations. If you're looking for a wedding cake or any special cake, Cakemakers is the place to contact.

The most AMAZING venue we could have ever asked for. My husband, family, guests and I were in awe all night over the views from this venue. Especially at night. Not only is the venue amazing, but the event team is even better! Chelsee was my go-to girl during my almost year long planning journey. Chelsee was so responsive to emails, so informative and so helpful when it came to sharing opinions and ideas. Chelsee was so flexible and accommodating, even when changing my mind 100 times. Diego was our point person the day of the wedding and he was also spectacular! Without Diego and Chelsee I would have been lost! I cannot recommend this team or the venue enough! My guests are still talking about the space and it was the highlight of everyone's night. Thank you Glasshouse Chelsea and the team for giving my husband and I a night we will never forget!!

Great service and made out event beautiful!

We loved having Veronica as our wedding planner. She made the experience seamless and no matter what transpired, we always knew that Veronica was there to solve any issues that may arise. There was minimal stress in the wedding planning process with Veronica as our planner. She knows many vendors and always offered suggestions that would only enhance our day. We would book Veronica a million times over!

Take the elevator to the 21st floor as soon as you get out the elevator you will be in the venue. Clean and nice decor. A lovely place to have a gathering under 200 people. There is an outdoor terrace. Large bar and unisex bathrooms. Each stall is separate with enclosed door for privacy. Friendly staff. This is great for a birthday party or small event.

My company has had 2 events now run by this business. Each time very professional staff hosted our game tables, patiently lead our guests through games, and helped us have a memorable time. Their equipment looks good and authentic, and they are engaging. The proof in their great service is that after 5 years, we remembered them and reached out again for our 10year Anniversary celebration.








After re-scheduling FOUR times due to Covid, Christina made our wedding dreams come true! Everything went smoothly and was executed perfectly. She worked tirelessly rescheduling vendors and updating our rentals and design elements based on the changing seasons and availability. She was a lifesaver! She is incredibly experienced and had so many excellent vendor relationships and recommendations. When she felt a vendor was not a good fit or didn’t understand our vision, she was willing to have those difficult decisions with them in order to reduce any stress or awkward situations for us. Her vision, insight, and advice throughout the entire process was priceless! It truly was the perfect day for us and Christina Baxter made it happen!

What a stunning location. Have an event here that starts an hour or two before sunset and you'll win the day with the best views ever. Food was decent, location is easy to get to and super simple to find.

Show Biz Productions made our event so easy to produce and so much fun for our guests. Set up and take down was seamless and everyone enjoyed gambling with giant amounts of funny money. Based on this experience we will make this an annual event.





Thank you Showbiz productions, Steve and his team were the best part of the party!!! Arrica Lindsay Event will be sure to use your services again in the near future!

Showbiz Production did an amazing job at our corporate holiday party. I called and emailed Steve so many times and he always answered the phone and replied the email right away. His team really lightened up the mood when we played the game. Everyone had so much fun playing blackjacks and roulettes! Highly recommend Showbiz for corporate event!


The event company is based in one of the most fabulous building for office space/ event. The view is just magical

I was on the coordinating team for my organization’s Zoom OctoberFest celebration. This wasn’t just any zoom event. Why? Because we hired Casino Parties by Showbiz Productions. They were absolutely fantastic -from the signing of the contract to our BIG event. Everyone had a blast and took them out of a boring Zoom meeting and into a Las Vegas Showroom with dealers, game hosts and every thing you can imagine. We were transported fir a few hours. My only regret… it wasn’t long enough!!





All I can say is WOW!!! Dan, you make the most amazing cakes. Everyone was raving about our cake. Asking who made it and complimenting us on it all evening. I loved everything about it, the look, the taste, everything.!! Thank you for making our day even better with the best cake either of us had ever tasted.


Dan did an amazing job on our wedding cake! He helped us stay within our budget while making a beautiful and delicious cake. He is incredibly personable and easy to work with, I would highly recommend him!

This company and I do mean Tanya and her amazing staff worked with me from the very beginning of the planning to the day of the event. She took all of the worry and headache away instantaneously. She came highly recommended and still rose beyond anything I could have dreamed. Every guest asked me throughout the event where did you find this remarkable lady who pays attention to all of the small details. Every event I have now will only be with Tanya Wilbon and her company. Simply the best of the best.






I loved working with Dan, I came from Massachusetts to Tennessee and found this cake shop and he made a cake for my daughter second birthday it looked beautiful and tasted good made the party a hit!




Our daughter got married on NYE 2020 and despite numerous bumps in the road with venues, Covid, etc. Dan the cakeman was a constant and competent presence through it all. I shared pictures and discussed our wedding cake/cupcake vision with him and he totally came through! With numerous samples of cake and icings provided by Cakemakers, we were able to customize exactly what we wanted.The cake with multiple filling layers was a HUGE hit! Even non-cake lovers loved it! The special order cupcakes were perfect too. Beautiful AND delicious..You won’t be sorry if you go with Dan the cakeman!



I photographed a wedding shoot here and was completely blown away. To have a wedding here would be a dream. The are spectacular and would definitely be a wow factor for guests.

The assistant i spoke to is very unprofessional and unwilling to help. The first thing she asked when i called about a wedding decoration was what's your budget? It's not the best way of doing business. I looked online before i called so i know what to expect. Instead of giving options or asking me how to make my day extra special she went straight for the money. That says a lot about how you value your customers. What I was hoping to hear was to offer me the best she has and work her way down. That was not the case at Mimi decor. I've called several times to get a hold of mimi herself and left a voicemail and no one got back to me. Offer me the platinum decor that you say you do and I'll pay. What i will not tolerate is the kind of behavior your assistant showed and make no effect to fix my problem. That's worth 0 dollars! Please train your employees to be confident on your product so you can earn more business. I am very disappointed and unsatisfied! I will not recommend it to anyone!


We did a cake tasting with Dan today, and I was beyond impressed. The cakes were delicious, and Dan was so kind, warm, and personable. I have a very small guest list - and he still spend a great deal of time going over details and making me feel just as important as the brides with much larger weddings. Wonderful cake and wonderful customer service. Cant wait to see the final wedding cake!
Update: We finally had our wedding day! Our cake was absolutely stunning (and delicious). We chose the french vanilla almond with fresh strawberries and blueberries. Dan was a pleasure to work with. Thank you so much for making our wedding day so special with such a stunner of a cake!! We received so many compliments. You are THE BEST.

Since the first day I spoke to her on the phone, Mimi was very passionate, professional, helpful, genuine and direct till the end. So happy I chose Mimi decor for our wedding. She listens to your vision and create it exactly. Not only with the decor but she was helping us out with the planning too which put our mind to ease. One of the best decisions We made planning our wedding was choosing Mimi decor. Would like to say thank you to Mimi and her whole team, they will go above and beyond to make sure your event goes according to what you want. Will miss our conversations.

Christina Baxter Wedding + Events, the best wedding planner in Charleston. Over the course of a year, Christina and Dana became like family to us. From the very first interview, we fell in love with Christina’s infectious personality and limitless enthusiasm for making our vision Gullah+Jamaica+Cinderella wedding a reality. We’d interviewed other planners, but Christina’s warm spirit and instanteous ideas sealed the deal. Indeed, it felt like we were excitedly planning with an old friend and not our planner.
Christina soon introduced us to her Senior Event Coordinator, Dana, who worked with us every step of the way to make sure the details of our wedding were set and mapped out. They were a full service team, helping us with every detail from the invitations to the centerpieces. And when our 325-person wedding ballooned into a 400-person affair 3 weeks before the big day, these two did not miss a beat. They re-designed the entire reception layout and coordinated with every vendor. This was a particularly massive undertaking because we got married at Middleton Place, with an original plan to use some of the site’s tables and other settings. When the numbers increased, we had to move everything outside and everything, and I mean everything, had to be adjusted to accommodate the new plan.
Despite the abrupt change, the wedding was magical. Every bride I know talks about the meltdown she had on her day or the mishaps that occurred. I had none. Christina and Dana masterfully corralled our nearly 50-person wedding party through wedding prep, pre-wedding pictures, and the wedding precessional. This included hiring a personal assistant to travel with me for most of the day until the reception. Not only was that person amazing and friendly, but as a former pageant consultant, she was able to keep all my girls on schedule, help me get ready, and served as the liaison between myself and Christina and Dana. It worked out perfectly.
Their wedding staff was great, with individuals stationed at various points on the grounds to direct my party and the guests. In the end, everything was on time and consistent with our detailed schedule. 400 people moved seamlessly from one part of the grounds to the next. Musicians (including a trio, steel drum band, and singers) were on time and prepared with their necessary cues. Post-wedding pictures were handled quickly, leaving us time to hangout with our guests at cocktail hour.
Our reception was exactly what we asked for - a massive party. And it was made possible by Dana’s recommended DJ (there’s a reason why DJ Natty Heavy is consistently voted the best DJ in the area - he was fantastic). They kept the party going and made sure we were in position to leave on schedule in our fabulous getaway car.
In short, from the amazing design to masterful execution, they did a phenomenal job. My family, wedding party, and guests couldn’t stop talking about our planners and how they helped us bring “Hollywood” to Charleston. In one instance, a dear friend of mine who is an event planner and once coordinated events for President Barack Obama, took me aside and told me that my planners were top-notch and doing an impeccable job.
You cannot go wrong with these two. This team created a wedding day better than we imagined, they listened to us, and invested 200% in executing this event. Our only regret was not having a bigger budget so they could have handled the entire wedding weekend.
Thanks Christina and Dana!

Fantastic holiday party! The entire staff at Show Biz Productions was professional, easy to work with and incredibly helpful in planning the event. The dealers who worked the party were awesome. They patiently explain the games to those who had never played before and kept the games lively by interacting with the players. There is already talk around the office of having another casino party next year. Great fun. Highly recommend Show Biz!

Highly Recommend Donna and Megan make your wedding day special, relaxing, and just simply beautiful. The Best!!

From the moment I reached out to DC Engaged, Meghan and Donna answered all questions with patience, compassion and expertise. They worked within my budget to find a venue, florist and DJ by advocating on me and my wife’s behalf. A month before the wedding, the venues make-up artist fell through. Instead of shed tears and runny mascara, Meghan saved the day! She reached out to one of her trusted contacts and booked us a new make-up artist the same day. On the morning of my wedding, I was able to relax with my bridesmaids knowing Meghan and Donna were there. They communicated with all vendors to ensure the day was perfect and took care of all details, big and small. If you are looking for an affordable wedding planner, look no further. Thank you both for bringing my wedding vision to life!



My late Grandfather always said that there are so few things in this world that you can take with you into the next life as material things come and go, health can rise and fall, but it’s the memories you make, the people you meet and the experiences you enjoy with those you love that will carry with you always. Not only was my Grandfather at my wedding this past April, but Christina Baxter and Dana Vaughn made it the most special day of my wife and I’s life, of which we will be forever grateful as it was one of the last times I was with him. Christina, Dana – the tireless effort, joy, care, love, taste and experience you gave to Lauren and I are things that words, a review, a gift, a hug, a kiss or even money, for that matter, can express our undying gratitude for you both...
A lovely journey from the second we met you both and it’s hard today to not see and speak to you on a regular occurrence. The ideas Lauren and I had you both engulfed yourselves in and it showed in the vendors and creativity you brought to every meeting and of course the final outcome of the big day. You both made the planning feel like a joy and I personally will be forever grateful.
Lauren and I love you both so very much and thank you for doing the work you do as what you created for us will be part of the important memories we will carry with us always.

Absolutely stunning views of the Hudson, the East side, and Lower Manhattan. Place is perfect size for a small event or a wedding. There is a nice size balcony for the people to hang out and enjoy the view. Definitely worth checking out, and the views are incredible for being only on the 21st floor. Easy access to the elevators, and surprisingly on the weekends there is plenty of on street parking.



It isn’t often you have a bride and groom who are equal partners in wedding planning. Additionally, we had three sets of parents all with varying opinions and roles they wanted to play. Christina and Dana at CiBi Events grabbed this challenge by the horns and worked tirelessly with us for over 1.5 years to put together our dream wedding.
We aren’t the stereotypical southern couple and we weren’t looking to copy a wedding from Pinterest. Christina and Dana utilized their vast knowledge of the industry to provide us with unique ideas and options to make our special day stand out, while also taking into consideration that our wedding was at a historic art museum. They were honest with us when our ideas were terrible, and were motivated to go above and beyond the call of duty when bringing one of our ‘aha moments’ to life.
The team at Cibi Events posses the skillset that are essential for a spectacular wedding. Their attention to detail, whether it was the smallest cocktail table flower arrangement or a line in the Excel budget, combined with their ability to bring our cloudy vision to life resulted in a magical evening that left all of our guests in awe.
Their professionalism and experience wasn't only what makes them great. They are just an all-around amazing team of genuinely caring individuals. They knew how to comfort us when we were stressed and on the verge of tears (a.k.a crying). They knew how to brighten our day when the "ideal dream" was out of budget . They made us comfortable throughout the entire process, and never used their experience as a reason for our ideas or thoughts to not be talked through as a team.
Christina and Dana did whatever they could do to make everything seamless. Anytime we needed something, they had it done. Anytime someone needed something from us, they stepped in and helped take the stress away.
If you’re looking for partners in the planning process who will listen to your needs and help you bring your vision (and more) to life, look no further than Cibi Events.

I was looking for a unique event space to hold a very important client event also hosting our executive team from London and the US. I was fortunate enough to find The Glass Houses. I went to visit the venue and it was beyond amazing - floor to ceiling windows and a perfect open space to design your own unique look. The space was immaculate and as a matter of fact they were washing the outside and inside windows and polishing the floor when I visited! (That's a great thing ;)
I met with Perry who was beyond AMAZING! He set me up with caterers, AV provider who were also AMAZING (Thomas Preti Caterers and PAV Pro Installations). We needed a special set up for a business meeting /cocktail reception after and in 2 minutes Perry showed me exactly how he could lay it out perfectly.
Fast forward to the day of my event - I arrived about 5 hours before the event start and the room was already set-up and Perry's team were waiting for me. In addition Dave from PAV Pro was already set up and waiting for me. My linens and floral were delivered and my catering /staff had just arrived. I can't help using the word AMAZING over and over in this review because when I say I had to worry about nothing for this event it is an understatement.
Everything was seamless and perfect an hour before my guests were scheduled to arrive.
My guests and executives were so impressed with the venue that they all commented multiple times throughout the night. I looked like a hero and it's all thanks to Perry and his team (and his exceptional vendors)..
Thank you Perry for making our event so memorable that people are still talking about it and for making it so easy for me.
In closing, I have done Events for many years for a very prestigious company and I will tell you that there is nothing like holding an event at such a professional venue - they take client satisfaction to the next level and this was by far the best and most seamless event I have ever planned. When your thinking about your next event (corporate, personal) nobody does it better!
Thank you Perry, Wilson and the rest of the staff for everything ;)

We cannot say enough nice things about working with Christina and her wonderful assistant Dana. They were involved in all aspects of our wedding, making sure we reached out to each vendor at the right time, handling paperwork, and anticipating potential challenges before they became a problem.

Wedding planning is stressful. It feels like there are a million things to do AT ALL TIMES. You want someone who is calm, has a ton of experience, and knows just about every vendor in town. Like many couples, we had a vision for our wedding, but we relied heavily on Christina and Dana to navigate the seemingly endless details that needed to be addressed to realize that vision. Both Christina and Dana displayed endless patience helping us realize that vision, always accommodating our last minute waffling and change of heart. When we were freaking out about a particular aspect of the wedding – or more accurately a million important decisions – they would schedule a call immediately and give us two hours of their undivided attention if we needed it!
While they are undoubtedly great at their job, Christina and Dana are also exceptionally nice people. Which is important to consider because you will spend A LOT of time with your wedding planners. When it was all said and done, Christina and Dana helped us pull off an amazing wedding and really stayed true to our wishes and vision for the wedding, which was especially important to us. And while we certainly don’t miss the stress associated with wedding planning, we do miss spending time with both of them!!! Dream team!

When it was all said and done, Christina and Dana helped us pull off an amazing wedding and really stayed true to our wishes and vision for the wedding, which was especially important to us. And while we certainly don’t miss the stress associated with wedding planning, we do miss spending time with both of them!!! Dream team!

I had the immense pleasure of working with Christina Baxter as she helped me plan my two day wedding over the course of a year. I do not have enough great things to say about Christina. She was responsive to my every request, helpful with decision making, more than willing to negotiate with vendors to find the best value and above all, she was so attentive to every detail once the event occurred. She was a pleasure to work with throughout the whole experience. Even the guests at my wedding were commenting on how great a job she had done. There wasn't one thing that went wrong on my wedding day and it is all thanks to the hard work and dedication of Christina. My wedding was absolutely perfect and it was no easy feat to plan a two night event for 170 guests. Christina was fantastic to work with and provided impeccable service to me, my mom and my dad throughout the entire planning process. I cannot thank Christina enough for making the most special day of my life surpass all my expectations.

The best decision that we made on our way to the altar was choosing Christina Baxter of CiBi Events as our wedding coordinator. Our wedding day on 5/31/13 in Charleston, SC was truly the most enjoyable & memorable day of our lives. Christina worked with us to plan an event that was elegant, exquisitely produced and within our budget. With Christina’s expert advice, we were able to create an event that exceeded our highest expectations & that our guests have told us they will remember for a lifetime.
Planning a destination wedding from Chicago had the potential to be chaotic and stressful, especially given our limited availability to discuss wedding plans & the pressure that we felt to make it 'worth the trip' for all of our guests. Having only spoken with Christina over the phone before choosing her as our planner, we admittedly said on numerous occasions that we were putting a lot of faith in someone that we didn’t know. We figured it could all go one of two ways: terribly or very well. What we didn’t consider was the third option: perfectly.
Christina worked with us to create a wedding that truly reflected our unique personalities. From designing the reception layout to negotiating with the all of the vendors, Christina was able to create a custom experience while keeping us within our budget. Most importantly, Christina proactively handled unexpected roadblocks without adding undue stress for the bride & groom.
While Christina can provide you with an all-encompassing list of items that her planning services will include, her most valuable and priceless attributes are those not listed. She will calm your nerves & your parents’ nerves with her organization and professionalism & she will be the last one there at the end of the night making sure that everything is taken care of after the party is over.
Simply put, CiBi Events adds value every step of the way. Since our wedding day we have remarked over & over that we struck gold the day we met Christina.

Words cannot describe how fantastic working with CiBi Events was. Christina is a phenomenal planner. I had a guest list that kept growing from 200 to 250 to 300. She's calm, efficient and talented. My wedding turned out better than I had envisioned in large part thanks to Christina. If you’re planning a wedding please make sure you talk to her as I’m sure you’ll love her as much as I did! I can't say enough about her..
