Our Clients Say...
The Anniversary Party at The Upper Deck Bar And Grill was exquisitely executed by your unique and attention clever details! We thoroughly enjoyed our mingling amongst many dear friends and acquaintances along the various scattered circus themed sites as we settled in to the final extreme ice sculpture room which included delicious cocktails, food and scrumptious popcorn and candies, my favorites! The night ended with karaoke and Ms. Ginny singing her heart out, how appropriate, as she has definitely stuck her heart into the Upper Deck, and it was obvious to me that Your Unique business stuck their hearts into this Anniversary as well!!
