“As mixed media artist based in North Carolina specializing in video game and anime-inspired creations, I’ve had the pleasure of vending at Anime Paradaisu’s events over the past few years. I must say, they played a huge part in my growth and presence as an artist/crafter. Being part of their markets has helped me connect with customers, other artists, and really find my footing locally. From my experience, it’s very clear that they care about their vendors and are passionate about creating a welcoming space for both anime lovers and creatives!

What stands out most is their commitment to vendor well-being. They are one of the few event organizers I’ve worked with who actively prioritize the health and comfort of their artists - such as providing water, adjusting booth placements for restroom accessibility, and even making difficult decisions (like rescheduling due to severe weather) to ensure everyone’s safety. That level of consideration speaks volumes about their integrity.

Communication leading up to events is always organized and timely, which makes preparation less stressful as a small business owner. When I encountered a scheduling conflict, Tabitha was incredibly prompt and accommodating.

More recently, they transitioned their market from outdoor tents to an indoor venue. Renting a large space and organizing an effective vendor layout is no small undertaking, but they rose to the challenge and created a setup that allowed customers to easily access and discover artists. For me, their willingness to adapt and evolve as community demonstrates incredible dedication.

As a vendor, I’ve consistently had positive interactions with customers at their events. I truly appreciate their continued growth and care for the artists they work with, and I look forward to vending with them again. I highly recommend Anime Paradaisu to both fellow artists and attendees.

Thank you AP for always welcoming me in the marketplace! :)

“I met with Brad yesterday to discuss selling parts of my coin collection. Brad was very courteous and professional throughout our meeting. I did end up selling some of my collection and was very satisfied with the sale. I had previously talked with three other dealers, and Brad was able to top their offers. I highly recommend this business as being honest and trustworthy.”

“Leaving a quick review for Michael’s here off Capital Boulevard in Raleigh, North Carolina. I stopped in to get some custom frame work done. The experience I had at the custom frame counter was next level. Mary and custom framing was the bomb to work with. Her customer service skills are Sharp, her listening skills were fantastic and her designing skills were next level. Custom framing projects can be a lot of work, as they are extremely expensive, you want to make sure you get the best design put together for the money. Mary allowed me to play with different frames, mats, and glass combinations to get the exact look that I wanted within my price range. She was patient and very kind. She even stayed 35 minutes beyond her shift to make sure I was assisted. She could’ve easily handed me to another employee, but instead she continued to work with me to make sure my frame order was exactly what I was dreaming of. Thank you so much, Mary!”
