To be honest, this place didn't make us feel welcomed but they did do a good job putting together our order of balloons. The prices are pretty reasonable as well. The place offers all kinds of party items as well. These included toppings to decorate cake with, boxes to carry cakes, and other such items.

If I could give this company negative stars I would, and it's not because of its product or it's…read moreworkers but it is because of the nasty and condescending attitude of the owner. I understand rules and regulations but none of that is EVER a reason to be nasty to a customer. We have patronized this company for years. We have referred family and friends there. We have sent numerous churches and events to that place and he told us (over a matter of $22) that we were insignificant to him. His attitude was the absolute worst. I will tell everyone who listens not to patronize this place and I am seriously considering picketing them and causing an uproar...over $22. As an owner he should be ashamed. Edit: The owners threatened me with a lawsuit if I didn't take the picture down, so at my family's behest I am complying. However, strong arming customers and not even offering an apology for the way the treated my wife and publicly belittled and embarrassed her tells you what type of person he is. Absolutely awful.

I arrived after closing because I went closer to my event time. Keep on mind I'm a repeat customer. I even called.

The gentlemen giving me the information was also very aggressive.

If you're looking for a photobooth for your event, this company is the way to go. Truly the…read morekindest, most exceptional photobooth company in Philly!! Communicating with them was so easy and they are incredibly accommodating. They give you expert advice and charge a very reasonable price for what they offer. They have the cutest back drops to choose from AND you can customize your photo strip design however you'd like. They have so many to choose from it's almost overwhelming! Not to mention, you get HIGH quality photos and digital copies of every photo taken!! It simply couldn't be easier! You scan a QR code and you get access to every phot lo you're in, it's insane and so efficient!!! People couldn't stop talking about the quality of the photos and how amazing they looked! Not to mention, they brought a wide array of props to choose from. They even brought stuff for our school!!! But the one thing that stood out the most out of everything is the hospitality!! I would recommend this company based off of the people alone. They are SO NICE and every interaction was memorable! It was truly a pleasure working with them and the owner is clearly passionate about what he does. I've attached some photos, to further prove how amazing everything was!

I have never been to an event where the photo booth people are more on point, from the props, to the background, to the pleasant attitude, to facilitating everything. It was a pleasure to work with a company that not only produces high-quality photos but make sure your experience is amazing. During the course leading up to the event they worked diligently to make sure that the photo strip artwork was exactly what my son wanted. They produced numerous options for us and made the final product better than we could have hoped for! We purchased the package that included a memory book. I highly recommend this as they do an fabulous job of putting the pictures into it and they give you a ton of pictures after the event so you can add to it as well. It's a really cool souvenir to own. One of the other amazing services they provided is a link of all the photos that were taken from the evening so you could print them in larger formats as well. Honestly I cannot wait to hire them again for another event!

Came here for a work event and it was lots of fun!…read more The food was superb and the cooking class portion of the event was very informative. I learned a few interesting factoids and had a lot of fun assembling the meal. The location is also very clean and inviting, and I would be interested in attending one of their public event nights to try some of the other offerings. I heard their sushi class is very popular. Big thanks to Albert, Agnes and Joey who hosted the event for us! I recommend if you want an out of the ordinary work event or gathering. Edit: I forgot to mention that we were given the South Philly menu which was chicken parm, bruschetta, broccoli rabe, cheese ravioli and salad. It also ended with tiramisu. All were really good! They also have plenty of other menus available for any preferences.

I generally stick to posting food and what not... Yet this one tugged at my anger strings!…read more Things seemed to go off smoothly with Maura, she was kind and willing to show us around and take my credit card over the phone after charging me an extra $40 plus dollars so that they did not have to eat the fee. I was fine with that...support small business; however after my teenager daughter decided to change her mind and opt not to have a party here that is where the trouble began. At first Maura tells me its no problem, lets just move the money to August for my husband's birthday and they would retain 25%. All along I have nothing in writing stating what their policies are nor do I have a SIGNED CONTRACT obligating me to do anything. Sad what you get when you try to support "your people''. Five minutes later, she calls me back to say ''oh we cannot refund your credit card"....say what? You had no problem charging it. I told her I guess it boiled down to her not wanting to eat that fee. In any event, after she MAILS me a handwritten "business" check I proceeded to take it to HYPERION BANK (should be more aptly named HOOD BANK" they refused to cash the check because I was not an account holder. I told the branch manager it was a great way to NOT earn customers. Besides how many branches could they actually have. Not to worry, HOOD BANK will get a review too--my yelpers beware. So after my conversation with Maura today where she tries to snicker and make side marks I told her she needed to check her tone. She's telling me she's not making special exceptions for me, and she went out of her way just to do that. That her accountant gets confused when dates change-- makes you wonder who they have working their in the first place. Really it was more of an inconvenience than anything. I should have gone with my first instinct and found something else--live and learn. It seems like organizational issues are at play...someones feeding her bullshit in the back ground and she's trying to spit that shit up on me. Not hap'n cap'n! But, How do you not know what your banks terms are? She said ''NO BANK CASHES CHECKS FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT CUSTOMERS'' Sounds like she needs a lesson in banking. For the record Maura since I could not get two words in edge wise, any bank that a check is drawn on will cash it-except for the hood bank you all deal with. Granted they make take a small fee but that is fine but for you to make up these "facts" as you go along are preposterous! So after back and forth of arguing with her about how she's doing me some type of favor, she folded and is putting the other half of my 1k down payment in the mail. Now I have two bullshit checks! Yay! Bottom line: DONT SIGN SHIT! Make sure they get it right and all the details are worked out before you book anything here, better yet find another spot.

There's a huge free parking lot right across the street as well, so you don't have to worry about where you're going to find parking or if you'll have to walk 3 miles to get there.

I had a great experience with everyone I came into contact with. I would definitely recommend using Hip Philly for your next event!
