We love small businesses in the Valley! Here’s what our Valley Moms are saying about their favorite local spots!

Real Estate

Praise for Aubrey Joy Homes.

“Aubrey was so amazing! She is very organized and on top of everything. She is very detailed which is super helpful for first time buyers or anyone who wants an easy and quick experience in buying a home. She kept us on track with every detail needed along the way up until buying the house and the next steps after that. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and I appreciate all the effort and time she put into making sure we got our first home. We wouldn’t have been able to get the home we wanted without her. If you are looking for an agent that listens, extremely efficient and gets everything done quickly and smoothly, Aubrey’s for you!”

Praise for Fig.

Excellent experience with Fig. Our best closing ever.

Praise for Alpine Group.

Brooke was professional and knowledgeable about the market in this area. She recommended a loan company that had us pre qualified in 24 hours. She negotiated a lower price with buyers when the appraisal came in lower than the asking price. She also got buyers to pay for replacing a few windows and shingles on the roof after the house inspection. She was quick to respond to any questions and provide us either additional information. Highly recommend this realtor group

Food & Drink

Praise for The Crepe House.

Charming restaurant with attentive staff and delicious crepes! We ordered the chocolate sweet crepe and the savory steak breakfast crepe. Both were generously portioned and delicious. Love the option to add a green salad to the savory crepe. Also enjoyed a cup of Blue Star coffee — appreciate that it was locally sourced!

Praise for Zully’s.

This place is a unique way to enjoy a sweet ice cream treat! And the best part? You get to watch the staff make your rolled ice cream. It’s creative, delicious, and full of flavor. I tried the banana split, my son had the Oreo cookies, and my husband had the piña colada. I wish we had something like this where I lived. 10 out of 10 will return the next time we’re in Wenatchee.

Catering

Sugar & Salt Mobile Bar makes the BEST drinks! Karissa does a great job with the theme; everything looks so pretty, clean, and organized, and they bring a lot of fun to their events. It's great not to have to worry about making drinks or cleaning up! Highly recommend S&S for your next event!

Event Rentals

Karly and her team have a great attention to detail. They made everything look so effortless. The coordination between the catering staff and service team was fantastic. There are so many moving parts before, during, and after any wedding, and Karly and her staff handled everything seamlessly.

Praise for CCH Event Co.

Amazing to work with!
The team did an outstanding job! Efficiently setting up and breaking down for such a large number of people is no small feat. Their professionalism and dedication really shine through!!

Praise for Soirée Contigo.

Communication with the Soirée Contigo team was amazing from start to finish. We flew in from out of state for my friend’s bachelorette in Chelan and were a little nervous about booking from afar, but they quickly put us at ease. My friend ended up changing the picnic color scheme not once but twice, and they were so kind and flexible about it. We went with the yellow theme in the end, and it was stunning! The lemons were my favorite touch. Everything was so thoughtfully put together and flowed perfectly. I’d absolutely book with them again next time we’re in the area! - Lauren V

Shopping & Retail

Praise for Simple Wellness Co.

"Simple Wellness Co. is simply wonderful! I love that Nic so carefully chooses products to offer at her shop that are sustainable and made from high quality ingredients. She offers the staple products we need for cleanliness and skin care and always has fun stuff to choose from, as well. I highly recommend Simple Wellness Co."

I love every piece that I’ve gotten from Valley Cactus! The clothing is high quality, flattering and true to size. Plus the owner is super responsive and easy to work with! 10/10 would recommend!

Praise for The Treasure Trove.

Rave for Treasure Trove Games! I was too distracted by how amazing the store was to take pics but they have really outdone themselves! The store is beautifully set up and their private room has so many props to include in your RPG sessions. The owners were so kind and welcoming and even played with our kiddo so we could browse. We’re so excited to get in there and start playing games or maybe even a new DnD campaign."

Praise for Goldiie Jewels.

I Love all my jewelry from Goldiie ! I wear it daily and I even shower with it. I haven’t noticed any tarnishing or issues with it ! I simply love it - Annavay

Praise for Fierce, Not Fragile.

“I originally started working with Amber after a physically tough year of IVF and a fractured leg. I wanted to do something that prioritized me. Not only did I get custom workouts, but also nutritional guidance, accountability, and support. As a first time mom, I valued Amber’s perspective and advice. My pregnancy was pretty smooth sailing! I didn’t struggle with aches and pains. Above all else, the kindness and compassion I received postpartum will stick with me forever. As I wrap up my time with Amber, I’m thrilled to be back down to my pre-pregnancy weight… but stronger and healthier. I love my daughter so much and want to be the best version of myself for her. 10/10 recommend.”

Mackenzie- Postpartum Client

Health & Wellness

Praise for Actualize Sports.

First thing you need to know about me is that I don’t like to exercise and never have.
The second thing you need to know?
I love, love, LOVE Actualize Sports and Fitness! Around 2, 2 1/2 years ago, I started my journey to drop weight. I did, and on my own, but achieved this through diet choices alone. However, just losing the weight wasn’t solving neither my increasing peri-menopausal issues (poor sleep, anxiety/stress from outta nowhere, low energy, etc.) nor my weak muscles from my sedentary lifestyle. I knew I needed to do something, and it wasn’t until a coworker told me about this place did I even consider strength training.
I met with Mika at the end of this January and had my free class shortly afterwards. I was immediately hooked.
Actualize has been the PERFECT fit for me. They have classes that start at 4:30 am and go all day, so you can find a class that fits your schedule. Second, it’s friendly, warm, NEVER intimidating or condescending, so you’re always comfortable. There’s definitely a sense of community and you make gym buddies quickly! There’s an accountability piece and relationship you have with your coaches that I really needed to not slip back into any old habits. They are so knowledgeable, PATIENT, and I think they have just as good of a time as we do during class!
Most importantly, you have fun and see results! After a week or two, shoulder pain that I thought I just was stuck with the rest of my life started to disappear. A month in, I was buying a few of those cute cropped tops that are in style now, I’m lifting & moving at a level I never thought possible, my body feels ten times better and my energy levels are as if I were 20 years younger.
I can’t thank this place and their phenomenal team enough. They have helped give me part of myself back. :)

Praise for Empowered Wellness.

Hands down, the best massages I've ever had. And they were prenatal massages, so that's very high praise!
Jennifer M. applies just the right amount of pressure; she doesn't treat me like I'm made of crystal, like most massage therapists do during this season of life. She gets in there and works it all out. She's very intuitive in her interactions, too, knowing when to talk and when to be quiet, allowing me to shut my brain off and relax. I can't express how pleased I am. This is the first time in ages that I have felt like my money was well spent.
