May 24, 2026Great waitstaff!
Black Box Entertainment was a delight to work with. Kimberly and Melvin were very professional. They arrived a half hour before the time requested to help with set-up. They were eager to help with whatever the need was. My holiday event ran smooth like a well oiled train because of them. I would truly recommend them to anyone looking for staff to help with making their event a success. I definitely will be hiring them again! Thank you Kim and Melvin...it was a pleasure!

January 18, 2026Excellent and customer centric!
The experience was great from start to finish. Before the event, they responded promptly, took interest and were very willing to accommodate party theme and my suggestions. They ran their proposals and ideas by me for me to have input. At the party DJ Alex was amazing with the kids: incorporated the party theme and had a great variety of musical games that kept the kids engaged and follow along! Would totally recommend and will definitely be rebooking ourselves.

December 16, 2025Stellar service
The service was extraordinary! We needed last minute service for our annual holiday party. I was out of options until I came across Black Box. I received the quote within a few hours and it was incredibly reasonable for being so last minute. After a little research I found out they also work with a traveling cigar bar company, White Smoke & Ash, so I was able to book a cigar lounge too which was the hit of the party! Passion and Don were wonderful and very accommodating to our guests. Tati and Mari were our servers and they are fantastic! I will definitely be using this company for all my future events!
