Steve and his team were wonderful to work with. We put on an event for about 250 middle schoolers and almost 200 adults, and they provided us with a DJ/MC, games and face painters/airbrush tattoo artists. Our kids LOVED the games and had the best time dancing and getting their faces painted/getting tattoos. The awkwardness that comes with middle school parties can be a lot, but Steve's team on site was incredible - so kind and fun and just made our kids feel so comfortable and like they could really be themselves. Thank you so much to Steve and Talk of the Town - would highly recommend!

I've never been much of a "planner", but when you have a husband whose birthday falls in January where Omicron is present, what's a girl to do? Luckily, was there to Talk of the Town helped me out. Karen Mulligan was extremely responsive and incredibly helpfully as she walked me through all the options and steps to rent an outdoor movie night kit from Talk of the Town. When I showed up to pick up the equipment, Mike walked me through all of the equipment and double-checked I had all of the cords and cables I would need. I was really impressed with the level of service and value that I received and will definitely be using TOTT again in the future - perhaps for another outdoor movie night when the weather warms up!

Talk of the Town events provided casino games, dealers, and event accents for our corporate holiday event. They were professional, friendly, and made the evening spectacular. They arrived on time and broke everything down in a timely fashion as well. We will definitely be using their services for future events. BIG Thank you to Josh and his team!

TOTT Events made our Fall Formal at Georgetown University a success! I want to especially call out Karen, who saw this project through from the earliest inkling of an idea to the complete buildout of an amazing event. Karen communicated through all channels (phone, zoom, text) and personally made sure that the event went off without a hitch. She also offered her industry experience in designing the event, choosing the decor, as well as timing the setup for the day of the event. Details: The theme that we chose was A Night in Monte Carlo, and the venue was the Washington Plaza Hotel. We hosted about 500 attendees.

Talk of the Town truly went above and beyond for us in making a birthday celebration a success! I had no idea that it would be so hard to book an inflatable water slide in late summer for a birthday celebration for my kids (I just waited too long to call around and book something). They were extremely responsive and beyond flexible in figuring out how to get us one of their last slides, they made sure all details were covered in terms of ensuring the slide would work for us in our backyard.
And the delivery guys truly did a superb job in figuring out how to get a huge slide through our gate and set up in our backyard (they also put a lot of effort into figuring out the best way to plug everything in). Can't say enough good things about this company and special thanks to Sharon on the sales team for helping us out!

Wow! We had a group suffering outside in extreme heat. Karen and her team were able to deliver within a few hours some misting fans. Talk of the town made the whole process easy and I really appreciated their help. the first company I called said they couldn't deliver for two days at the soonest and were honestly not all that interested in our business compared to TOTT who were friendly and helpful from the opening phone call.
