From Backyard Birthday Parties to Corporate Events - Call Grand River Inflatables!

From Grand River Inflatables:  (one of our favourite Birthday sponsors!)

The first thing I hear when I tell people I work at Grand River Inflatables and Games is “You must love your job -- surrounded by all that fun!”  And of course I do.  It is easy to get distracted by all the amazing units we have.  My current favourite is the Horse Derby.  (You cannot help but laugh when you bounce along on the inflatable horses racing against your colleagues), but the Boom Blaster is a close second!

As much as we love fun and games, GrandRiver Inflatables and Games’ number one priority is providing safe, quality units for your children.  How do we keep children safe?  By continually inspecting our units, training our staff, and always, always cleaning.  Every time a bouncer is setup we disinfect and vacuum and again when the bouncer returns to the shop, we do the same procedure all over again.

All that cleaning, training and inspecting is worth it when we receive comments like this from our customers and partners “A special moment for me this year was watching a young boy (maybe age 4) walk up to the welcome desk.  He had a Spiderman t-shirt, cap and backpack, and when he caught sight of the Spiderman  bouncy castle, he was positively overcome.  It was all he could do to point, wide-eyed, in his excitement!  His parents beamed—it’s the kind of magic that only your team can provide!” (from David Schooley, Broker, the Going HOME team).

 We have so much fun here….from our first contact with many of you on the phone or by email to our operations staff that setup the bouncers and interacting with parents and children!  The very best part of my day (other than playing on the units!) is on Monday mornings when I open my emails and start receiving thanks from the weekend’s events.

How can you not love receiving a picture like this?

How to ensure a successful event – from backyard birthday party to corporate event, the ingredients are the same.

-          Ask around for recommendations.  If you attend a great festival or birthday party ask the host/organizer for their suppliers (often you or your contact can receive a referral discount).   Excellence has a way of being noted, and word of mouth is the best recommendation.

-          When you speak to a supplier, pay as much attention to the questions asked as to the answers given.  A professional organization will ask questions that are designed to find out what you want to accomplish with your event.  They want to translate your vision into a reality.

-          Do not skimp on safety. Ensure your suppliers have all the appropriate safety and insurance details in place.

-          Plan in Advance - While we can often accommodate last minute requests, your very best practice is to plan in advance.

Thank you to momstown Kitchener-Waterloo for allowing us to be part of your KW family.  We are loving the ride!

Candy Coated Sweet Tables - Doing all the Cute & Work for You!

Who are the ladies behind Candy Coated?? Here is a little bit about us!!

Kelly and Heather met about 3 1/2 years ago, on maternity leave with their daughters. They were looking to meet other mama's with similar interests and lifestyles. They first met at a baby playgroup at the library and quickly became friends. After only a few playdates with the girls they realized they had a lot in common. A love for crafting, scrapbooking, baking, photography, shopping, throwing great parties and of course spoiling their baby girls! They spent a lot of time together, often planning special events for our friends (and sometimes fighting over who got to host the next event). Before they knew it, their maternity leaves came to an end. Neither, wanted to go back into their careers and felt it important to stay at home with their little girls who they knew would be grown up in the blink of an eye. In an attempt to earn a little extra money for their families they both signed up as consultants with different independent sales companies. Although they enjoyed it for the time being, they both knew they wanted something more, something that was a reflection of themselves. After going back and forth on many ideas they decided to put out love for crafts, baking and entertaining into one and Voila: Candy Coated was born! they are thrilled to roll up our sleeves and get a little messy as they embark on this sweet business venture together!

We both have a huge sweet tooth and believe that ANYTHING tastes better dipped in chocolate. Pretzels, licorice, marshmallow and more. We love to creative unique confections. Whether you are looking for a few extra goodies for your event, or the perfect gift for your co workers we will have something you will love.

At Candy Coated we take pride in providing a personalized service that reflects your vision & style. Together we will integrate a theme and colour scheme that inspires you. By combining hand crafted creations and mouthwatering confections we will design a one of a kind Sweet Table that is sure to impress your guest of honor and friends and family alike.

Candy Coated will take care of the finer details and allow you to wow your guests without the stress.

While Sweet Tables are our specialty, we also have an eye for creating the overall aesthetic for a party. Whether you choose one of our packages or hand pick items from our A La Carte menu we will help you plan your special event from beginning to end.

Whether your throwing a birthday bash or a bridal shower, Candy Coated will provide sweets, décor and a unique touch to make your event fabulous and virtually effortless.

Have all your treats and goodies planned and just don't know quite how to display them? We also specialize in paper crafts from banners to food tags to help add that little "wow" factor to your party.

We are looking forward to helping you plan your next event!
