CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

  • Extravaganza is the only place in Charlotte to find custom designed or large scale props for an event! They do host events there and as Melissa mentioned, the trains add a very cool point of interest amongst the exposed brick, high ceilings and large space. In terms of hosting an event there, if you want a skyline view (it's a GREAT view!) but are on a budget, definitely check this place out. The neighborhood isn't la-ti-da but the parking lot is protected and secured at all times. If you're ever looking for a giant ice cream cone or maybe some red carpets, Stephanie @ Extravaganza has it all (and if they don't have it, they can make it since they have a full time artisan on staff!).

  • We hired Extravaganza Depot to create a "night club" environment/room in a ballroom at a country club. Everything was perfect, the room looked beautiful and it really felt like we were in a club! We have only heard great things from all our guests. Thank you again for helping us make our daughter's Bat Mitzvah a great event for us and our guests. You're so awesome to work with!

  • Best venue ever! The professionals at Extravaganza delivered a magical night. We gave them the theme and they did the work. No detail was missed and they gave us a Winter Garden nobody would want to miss. Amanda was our decorator there and she did everything just right. Such a creative and warm environment to host the most magical night ever.
