Best Wedding Vendor Ever!

My now husband and I have always loved claw machines and thought it would be a neat idea to incorporate them into our wedding. My husband found Cocktail Claw through a google search and was shortly contacted my Russ. Russ was AMAZING!!! We knew we were going to have a mix age range for our guests and wanted to do something else instead of alcohol. Russ gave us great ideas and places to get specialized favors. He even helped us test out some of our own ideas. The claw machine was a hit! All we heard from out guests was how much fun it was and how they had never seen it done before!!! Loved working with Russ and he was great every step of the way.
