TO NOT USE THIS COMPANY- WILL RUIN YOUR EVENT…read more If you're considering hiring this company for an important event, especially an outdoor event, I strongly encourage you to read our experience before booking. We paid $700 for what was supposed to be the centerpiece of our daughter's first birthday. Instead, approximately 20 minutes before our guests arrived, the display began falling apart. The shimmer wall separated, balloon sections detached, and the entire structure collapsed before the party even started. The owner, Nicolette, never came to our event herself. Instead, she sent assistants to perform the installation. During setup, one of the assistants actually asked us if we had a rock because they didn't have enough sandbags or weight to properly secure the display. When we told her we didn't, she responded, "I was just given these materials. You'll have to take it up with the owner." That should have been our first warning sign. A professional balloon company charging hundreds of dollars should arrive fully equipped to safely secure its own display--not ask the customer to provide rocks. After the display collapsed, we were forced to search our yard for rocks and concrete blocks ourselves just to try to keep it standing. We also had to reinforce the shimmer wall with packing tape so the party could continue. The second group that arrived to address the collapse introduced themselves as Nicolette's parents. During their visit, they called Nicolette in front of us. During that conversation, we heard them state that the structure had not been properly supported by the assistants because there were not enough sandbags used to stabilize it. They also told us they had previously recommended that Nicolette stop taking jobs on Long Island because she lives upstate and cannot personally service her Long Island clients. We also recognized the stand used for our display as an Amazon stand. In our opinion, it was poor-quality equipment that had no business being used for a $700 professionally installed outdoor balloon display. It appeared lightweight and not suitable for supporting a large outdoor installation. After the event, Nicolette relied on a clause in the contract regarding outdoor displays. However, the weather that day was completely normal for a summer party--approximately 9 mph sustained winds with gusts around 16-17 mph. There were no storms, no severe weather advisories, and no unusually high winds. We expected a professionally installed outdoor balloon display to withstand ordinary weather conditions. Although the contract discusses outdoor displays, we could not find language stating that a customer assumes responsibility if a professionally installed display collapses in ordinary weather. Despite the display collapsing before guests arrived and continuing to fail even after repairs, Nicolette refused to issue a full refund and instead offered only $150 back on a $700 display. You only get one first birthday. Instead of spending those moments celebrating with our daughter, family, and friends, we spent them repairing and stabilizing a display that should have remained standing from the beginning. We have photographs and video documenting the progression of the collapse. Based on our experience, we cannot recommend this company. If you're spending hundreds of dollars on a milestone event, ask who will actually be installing your display, what equipment will be used, and how it will be secured. We wish we had Owner will also try and play on words and say that their outdoor set ups aren't guarneteed - I'd say then don't take my money and the job if you can't do it properly do the job. After my reviews. The company has rebranded to "E Tribe Co".

Unfortunately one order was delivered and the other never showed up. Since I was working and genuinely frustrated beyond words, I was connected to Calli (I'm sure I'm spelling her name wrong).

Amazing service and communication from her and her team.

I wanted one balloon blown up. I intended to buy several other party favors as well . I was told that I could not have a balloon because they were going to fill up a bunch of balloon orders that were previously placed. I don't understand why one of the two crewmembers that we're not blowing balloons up could not use the helium tank that was sitting there unused to put up one birthday balloon. I want to the balloon for my special needs daughter . This is a special birthday she is 18 today. My daughter has been in the hospital most of the year. On the way to visit her I wanted to bring her a special balloon that I promised I would get her . There is no other party city location that would have required me to wait a half hour to get one single birthday balloon. I shop and many other locations and they are all wonderful. I'm actually shocked because I could see that there were people that were not doing anything at the moment and really truly could've blown up one single balloon for an injured handicapped child. Shame on you party city on Deer Park Ave. shame on you ! You lost a relatively large sale by doing this to me as I was planning on spending $150 on party favors .

We truly cannot say enough amazing things about our day-of coordinator, Raquel from Platinum…read moreAffairs! As a major DIY Bride, it initially was not in our budget to have a day-of-coordinator. After speaking with others who recommended Platinum Affairs to me, I discovered a day-of-coordinator would be the most important vendor. In all honesty, I don't know what I would have done without Raquel. Even as a strong type A Bride who is extremely organized and prepared, Raquel asked the questions I didn't think of to FULLY prepare for the wedding. After the first meeting, it was like a huge weight was lifted off our shoulders. She brought an incredible sense of calm, professionalism, and organization to our wedding day, exactly what we needed. She also shared her industry knowledge for ideas, recommendations, and proper etiquette. She kept in contact with all our vendors before the wedding, days leading up to the wedding, and the day of the wedding. Raquel truly took the time to learn my husband and I, to fully understand what was important to US on our wedding day. Her preparation ensured all our vendors worked seamlessly together. Raquel managed to be everywhere at once, always a step ahead, always with a smile. She not only managed my vendors, but she also managed those guests that every bride and groom is worried about but obligated to invite (sorry not sorry). I honestly don't know how our day would have flowed without her. Thanks to Raquel, we were able to be fully present and truly enjoy every moment. Everyone warned us the day would fly by; it really really does! Don't put yourself through the nonsense; it's your day so be sure to enjoy every single moment of it. To do that, a day-of-coordinator is a must. If you're on the fence about hiring a day-of coordinator, just DO IT, and make sure it's Raquel. She was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Bonus: Raquel sent us some sneak peak photos after the wedding she was able to snap from behind the scenes.

Platinum Affairs came recommended to us by Jericho Terrace as a preferred vendor as we made…read morepreparations for our wedding. We worked with Raquel on our invitations, mirrored seating chart and mirrored welcome sign. Overall Platinum Affairs executed on all assigned tasks and everything came out nicely. However, during the process, we felt like we needed to follow up and stay on top of them. Raquel seemed overwhelmed and maybe a bit burnt out. The Meetings We met with Raquel a few times over the process to finalize details and make payments. She was not pushy and honored our requests. We wanted simple invites, and new the style of mirrors we wanted. Over the course of 6-8 months, each visit she forgot who we were and we had to reintroduce ourselves. It took away from the experience. The Service Our Invites were ordered about 8 months from our wedding date and arrived about 6 months from our wedding date. I was a bit annoyed because our original choice was out of print and we were told this one was in stock and affordable. After making our order and reviewing our proofs, Raquel and her team called to let us know we had to decide immediately on our proofs because the vendor was running low on the card stock and may not be able to print our order. Our mirror and seating chart were ordered at the same time. We had to provide the text, names and fonts about 10 days prior to the event. We actually followed up with them because no one contacted us. Once we were in touch, everything was finalized. One nit to pick, they do not alphabetize the seating charts and you do need to review your proofs. I noticed a few formatting errors when reviewing my own. Card box was just as we asked. No complaints there. Verdict Platinum Affairs was okay. Service was good, but not great. Prices were reasonable.
