We paid for this event and sent message regarding which hotel to pick us up at and what time we wanted to have the event - as per instructions when you pay for the event. No one from the event contacted us to confirm anything. We tried calling the operator and the call would not go through. We reached out again via message with no response. We reached out to our credit card company and disputed the charge for no service provided by operator. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! STAY AWAY!!
