text: We threw my sons nd birthday party at Make Meaning in Scottsdale Quarter and it was a FANTASTIC experience for everyone n nNormally I am really hands on when it comes to the planning and execution of parties We chose to have my sons party at Make Meaning this year because we have a three week old baby I knew I would be exhausted and busy and I wanted to make sure our older son still had a great partynnWe chose the private party option They also offer a mini party The private party was minutes long and included crafts for the kids to do We chose pottery painting and making soap cupcakes as the crafts It also included pizza and a Tammy Coe cake The assistants who work at Make Meaning run the crafts and serve the food They did a fantastic job especially David who really engaged with my son and all of the kids He and the other Aces as they are called were all nice and helpful My son chose to paint a truck Some kids chose mermaids footballs princesses etc They had quite a few options to choose from They provide mini aprons to help keep the kids clothing clean At the end the guests get to take home their creation nnI was amazed by how smoothly the party went They transitioned from crafts to pizza to cake without making anyone feel rushed The staff even accommodated a few guests who had arrived late by setting up a small table for after the party where they could finish their creations One of the best things about hosting a party there is that someone else does all of the cleanup my least favorite part of a partynnAs others have mentioned Make Meaning is pricey We were on the fence about having the party there because of the expense In the end we feel like it was well worth itnnOverall we were pleased with everything about the party
