Definitely lives up to their name! We used them for our bachelorette/bachelor parties and our wedding and will be using them again. They were absolutely great! Even let me extend an hour when I decided my bachelorette party was too much fun and I wasn't ready to go yet!! I would absolutely recommend them and do to everyone!!
