    We celebrated my husband's January 1st birthday here last week, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish! The staff were amazing, promptly answering all my questions via email and accommodating our large party of 20 people with ease. The cake, made in-house, was both stunning and absolutely delicious—a true showstopper that everyone loved. We also lucked out with the festive NYE balloons still decorating the space, which made the atmosphere feel like it was perfectly set up for my husband’s special day. Thank you, Electric Kitchen, for making the planning process so seamless and ensuring the event was such a success. This was a celebration to remember!
