In February 2020, SilverNomad04 said about Walsall Arboretum
This I must say is my personal review which contradicts a lot of the other reviewers. I went by car on a sunny February Saturday. Despite using my “sat-nav” I cruised up and down Broadway looking for the car park, which I think because it was a private road wasn’t pleasing my map! I think a good way along Broadway I saw a narrow entrance with a height barrier but this seemed about a mile further on from the pedestrian entrance I had noticed. It seemed a rather random area of open land hardly a photographers paradise! Just up the road is Barr Beacon which is photogenic. So really an unfair review as I could get parked I didn’t go in! There was a “brown” tourist sign just as you turn on to Broadway but after that, as is often the case, no further help sign wise!!

In August 2024, Molly Alice said about Kabooth Photo Booth & Magic Mirror Hire
We hired Kris & his magic mirror for our wedding on the 3rd August. In full truth, Kris MADE our night & so many guests agreed. His service and enthusiasm is unmatched. I cannot think of a bad word to say about Kris & his equipment. He has a massive range of props, they are all well maintained & the quality of the prints are so much better than I expected.
Kris was our most responsive wedding supplier. With messages and emails answered within a matter of minutes. I felt no stress (compared to some other suppliers) and wholeheartedly would recommend Kabooth to anybody.
We got a USB stick immediately after the event with all of our photographs on, no waiting around for them to be edited etc. These are the only photographs we currently have of the wedding so it’s great to have something to look out whilst we wait for our photographer prints.
THANK YOU KRIS.

In January 2019, nichola pemberton said about Little Hooligans Soft Play Centre
Had a party for my daughter here today and i couldnt have asked for anything better. The staff were so attentive and nothing was too much trouble.
The venue is spotlessly clean and the facilities are excellent. Its spacious light and airy and you don't get that stale nasty smell that you get at soft play centres.
The food was all cooked fresh despite our party size being 20+ everything was perfectly cooked and piping hot. They have a great range of hot drinks and cakes for adults too.
We had a photographer as part of our party package and they really took the time to set the photos to ensure that they look good and there were lots of little extra touches to ensure the pictures look really special and well done.
I cant thank the staff enough for all the hard work they put in to making my daughters birthday extra special i wouldnt even consider using a different soft play centre in the future.

In January 2020, Nicola smith said about Owen Strickland Magic
Where to start with Owen - amazingly talented and genuinely a nice guy. I have seen Owen perform on a number of occasions due to working at moor hall however having him perform at my own wedding was to another level.
From the moment I booked him at the moor hall wedding fair there was constant contact in order for a smoothly run day, I had him as a surprise to my partner to which Owen could play up to. Everyone was memorised by his performances and literally left speechless. Not only does he perform magic but gets involved with the wedding aswell, he mingles with the guests, works with the photographer to get the best possible shots, entertains staff aswelll as guests and even appears in the music wedding video we had.
Our wedding was at Pendrell Hall in Codsall and can honestly say wherever the guests were Owen was too.
A strong recommendation and a must have to give your wedding that extra little bit of MAGIC.
Thank you again Owen!

In September 2017, A.B. said about Fountain Solicitors
Review received from A.B. - Just want to say a huuugggeee thank you to Aisha Abdul Latif from the Birmingham office for helping me to get my husband over! When I was going to apply I called over 10 solicitors and when they heard that I had no photographs and I had not been abroad since I got married they all became negative and some even said that until I go again and take pictures my husband would never get his visa! I was so stressed until I was leaving from work one day and met a friend who was going to see Aisha. We talked and talked and so I thought let me check Aisha out as she is local and people are saying really good things regarding her. My first conversation with Aisha over the phone was so reassuring. She was honest and told me not to worry as she would do everything she could to help me. She made me an appointment when it was convenient for me as I was juggling 2 jobs. She even came in on the weekend for me to check my documents. It was the way she spoke that made me feel confident in my application. The most important thing for me was that she did not judge or criticise me for any of the decisions I had made when I was getting married such as why I didn't want pictures etc. Thank you so much Aisha! If anyone asks for an excellent solicitor I know who I will be sending them to!

In September 2022, Chris Walker said about Owen Strickland Magic
We booked Owen for our wedding at Hogarths Hotel, Solihull on 11th June 2022.
We first met Owen at a wedding fair and were blown away by the tricks he showed to us. His tricks are all interesting and original, and could easily be watched over and over again with equal amazement. His fantastic sense of humour just tops this off and makes him a great entertainer. We were instantly sold and knew we had to book him there and then.
He offers multiple packages to suit all budgets, and the whole process was straightforward and simple. A small deposit was all that was needed to book.
When we booked in early 2020, we never thought we would have to postpone our original 2021 date, but this was no problem for Owen who was completely understanding, with no additional charges to do this.
When we finally got to the big day, it's an understatement to say our guests were just as blown away as we were.
I highly reccomend you book Owen for your drinks reception immediately after your ceremony, as he will arrive just as your guests do, mingling in as a fellow guest himself. Most will assume he is a relative on the other side of the family, or a friend they have not met before. That is until the deck of cards come out and it dawns on them hes a professional magician! For this reason, it's key to keep him a secret from your guests whilst you are planning your wedding!
I don't think a single guest left without saying how amazing he was. He works around all your groups and tables, and reserves a couple of extra special tricks for the bride and groom, so you won't miss out yourselves whilst he's entertaining everyone whilst you have your photographs etc.
You will probably see lots of your guests keep calling him back over to their table for another trick! They just couldn't get enough.
Owen is worth every penny he charges for his professional, seamless performance, and I highly reccomend you book without hesitation.
Thanks again Owen, and I hope I can convince whichever friend or relative who gets married next to book you themselves!
