During the last Hi Lites dance, our dinner reservation fell through at the last minute, which left us scrambling to find a restaurant that could accommodate 30 kids. This was not an easy task, as the entire school also had reservations at the same restaurants we were calling!
After spending a lot of time and making a lot of phone calls, we finally found a place and all was well. I wanted to pass along my findings to all of you in an effort to save you time and a lot of stress when planning your next big event!
This will be an ongoing list, so please email martha@bubblelounge.club with any additions.
We love making your life easier by sharing our resources and finds. So be sure to check in with us regularly by following us for on social media @bubbleloungepodcast and visit our website frequently. We are your go to resource for who to know, where to go and what to do in the bubble and beyond!
