The other party supplies are OK but a bit thin on variety. Honestly, there is so much more character here and the people who run the business are wonderful - I would happily go here vs. a Party City and you'll find exactly what you need vs. a big box store. Go local and go to Witty's

Witty's has helium and delivers! Very helpful and professional. Very nice and easy to work with!read more

I cannot say enough about Maria and Party Works in making my wedding vision become a reality. We…read moregot married and had our reception at Henry Clay, with the ceremony in the Beaux Arts Ballroom and reception in The Grand Ballroom. I was intimidated by the venue because of the space and height of the ceilings but Maria was so knowledgeable (and patient) and a true expert in not only utilizing the space and natural decor that the Henry Clay offers, but also translating my often scattered ideas into a tangible vision. I live in New York (my parents are in Louisville) and Maria met with me every time I was home as well as met with my mom several times to perfect the design and decor. She was arrived even before we did the day of the wedding and spent all day making sure everything was set up exactly right. She worked with us on the lighting, placement, and worked with with our florist and the Henry Clay on-site team to get all the details exactly right. Maria was an absolute dream to work with and our wedding would not have been what it was without her. She is also very helpful working within budgets and maximizing decor and design based on those budgetary concerns. The pictures do not do Maria and her design skills justice. Will definitely be using her in the future for any party decor/lighting rental needs in the future. Don't hesitate to use her--she will exceed every expectation you have and take your wedding to the next level.

They went above and beyond but were only expected to go above! The beyond was a wonderful addition, she really has an eye for decorating. Our wedding was the most beautiful one I've ever seen in real life and we will remember the magic of it forever. Thank you!!!

Nice space filled with tons of balloon choices, stuffed animals, Graeter's ice cream, lots of fudge choices, and specialty truffles, bonbons, etc... I am not a fan of chocolate, etc, but I could appreciate the detail, presentation and most certainly the taste these beauties contained. I got a delicious and refreshing raspberry sorbet, and my husband got the bourbon ball (?) ice cream, which he thoroughly enjoyed. Both employees were friendly and helpful while we made our choices. We ate them at their table outside. From the other reviews I read after we went there, they seem like a fantastic small business, so patronize them!

What a lovely store! They've got ice cream, truffles, party decor, and more. The sweet tooth was…read moreacting up, so I swung by and tried some of their seasonal ice cream flavors -- namely, pumpkin pie and banana chip. Their truffles looked beautiful, so I decided to order a small box to go. I got carrot cake, dark champagne, s'mores, and peanut butter chocolate (that wasn't the name, but the flavor profile is like Reese's). I haven't tried them yet, but they look and smell good, and I know they'll be excellent. All the while, I had excellent conversation with the staff there -- I didn't catch her name though. Swing by if you're in town!

Horner novelty is a Jeffersonville Indiana novelty and gift shop that has a very awesome and…read morecreative Halloween section. Hearing of this special Halloween section me and my wife headed out to check out the shop. Wife and I are helping our daughter's eighth Grade class plan a haunted playground and we needed supplies and decorations for the haunted playground. The set ups and decorations they have here we're all very cool and different from other Louisville aria and Indiana area Halloween specialty shops. They had a very nice and large mask area that was really cool and has very unique and different Halloween mask for costumes. The store is medium size very well kept. The service on this trip was well they helped us find what we needed. Also I left with about 12 cans of silly string some carnival related decoration such as clown horns and other carnival props. Overall this is a really cool place and a fun place to browse and check out all the cool Halloween decorations, costumes, masks and supplies. Me and my family will likely make the short trip from Louisville to Jeffersonville Indiana for the future years to check out this place during Halloween season.

Oh, I miss the old Horner Novelty in downtown Jeffersonville. It was my party planning paradise…read more But I was happy to hear that Horner Novelty had another location in Jeffersonville, and I got to visit this location last week. Similar to its former location, I found this Horner Novelty to have lots of party supplies and great service. I went to Horner Novelty to find some rainbow products for a special Pride event. I found sashes, boas, window clings, banners, flags and even rainbow mustaches and lollipops. I needed balloons as well and was able to buy a small helium tank for balloons I already had as well as a large mylar rainbow balloon, which the staff inflated quickly. From the moment I walked in, I was asked by staff what they could help me with and directed me where I could go to find these items. I was also happy to find that while yes this store is smaller than its predecessor, this store is organized like the other was, with aisles dedicated to different holidays and party types and a large collection of accessories (glasses, hats, pompoms, foam fingers, etc.) organized by color. They also have a great selection of costumes and small items that you might want to give away for free at children's parties or festival booths. Plus best of all: Horner Novelty has consistently had the best prices of any party supply store I've found in Louisville. It's a bit more of a drive to get to compared to the other store, but it's worth it if you're in need of themed items to make your party stand out.

The staff was incredibly accommodating and worked with my family on logistics, catering, bar options, parking and keeping the entire thing a surprise up until the moment I walked through the door. The venue itself was very clean, spacious and flexible. My favorite part about it was all the Kentucky derby memorabilia that fills the walls - it's like walking through a museum! I highly recommend using this venue for parties, receptions, showers or anything else you can think of.

The area is located in the Butchertown area where you are surrounded by other great restaurants, breweries/distilleries, boutiques, the arts, etc. The space is open & has the potential to be any kind of set up you want. We had hot & cold hors d'oeuvres, so I assume there were ways they were kept warm & cold between replenishments. The bathroom facilities were very neat & clean. The onsite staff were very inviting, social & professional.
