- This is our second time attending, we loved this event so much last year and we enjoyed it even more this year. What a special thing to get to be a part of! We are already looking forward to next year!!
- Fantastic day! The weather, the music, the people, the atmosphere...a huge crowd but you wouldn't know it. And I felt like we were on a Great Gatsby movie set. Everyone looked divine and lived in the fantasy of the roaring 20s. Bravo and congratulations on a wonderful experience for adults and children! We loved it!
- It was spectacular! My friends and I had a wonderful time. The weather was perfect. We loved how everyone was in committed to giving an authentic experience! Can't wait until next year!
- Amazing!!!! We had a wonderful time! The bands were fantastic, the people that attended made really showed up and out to dress period appropriate. The day was beautiful, the cocktails delicious and the vibe was an experience that we want to repeat over and over. Long live the roaring '20's. This was such a fantastical event, I can not convey just how delightful a time we had. It must be experienced!!!! We're already planning for next year's 20th anniversary celebration!!!!
- Fantastic day! Like being in an alternate reality. So much fun…the music, the dancing, the costumes and photo ops. Such a joyful afternoon.
- As I like to say, the Jazz Age Lawn Party is the next best thing to having a time machine. Words like "magical" don't do it justice; a feast for the eyes and ears and the only complaint I have is that it only happens twice a year. Kudos to the Canarsie Wobblers, all the spectacularly-dressed attendees and, to Michael Arenella and his marvelous Dreamland Orchestra, a heartfelt "hip, hip, Hooray!"
- Great! Great! Wonderful event!Terrific music! Friendly atmosphere and many more!!My big love to everybody who made this event happened!Bravo!

- Had fun dressing up! This event was so cute and fun
