They have everything you need for any type of dance. Pointe shoes are hard to fit as well as hard to find places that will sew your strings on but Dance Shoppe will, right in the back. So, I always tell them please sew those puppies on. There are a wide variety of leotards for everyone's budget which is so awesome because I always don't have hundreds of dollars to spend on dance gear. There is a long laundry list of items that my daughter wants from this store so please continue to have sales & items priced at various price point, my wallet thanks you. One time my daughter needed a new dance bag. I looked around and as I always do look for sale & clearance items. Well, I found one! It was perfect for her. great color, enough pockets, she loved it. I took it to the register to ask why was it on clearance & he showed me the area that need attention & I thought ok I still want it. I can just take it some where to have that part sewn back shut or something. He just walked away. moments later he returned with the bag & had sewn it up for me for NO extra charge! WOW...So, now it's not a clearance item correct? of course it is, he said. We stand by our pricing & the products we sell. Well thank you! This is just one of the reasons I continue to go back. Customer service is EVERYTHING to me.

Creative. Fun. AMAZING…read more Up, Up, & Away takes balloon art and decoration to an entirely new plane. It's not just a few balloons twisted and tied together to adorn a doorframe, no, these are carefully designed, well-executed exhibits that leave you wondering how it all comes together. My first experience with Up, Up, & Away was a balloon display - during COVID, mind you - for our youngest daughter at her 9th birthday. The colors were phenomenal and she simply LOVED unicorns back then. The display was sensational and held up very well in October weather, making for a golden memory for our family. But over the years, I have followed some of their artistic displays through social media and word-of-mouth, since my wife is friends with the owner, Johnna (and I'm not a paid spokesman). Whether it is celebrating milestones, sportsball, civic events, or just media happenings, Up, Up, & Away delivers extraordinary work. You have probably even seen some of their work in the KC area and just not known to whom to give the credit. The point is, you can plan your own displays or you can hand over design to the creative geniuses who deliver again and again. Are they cheap? Heck no! But the value is unmatchable and the the color palette never seems to find a boundary, and the balloons are durable for many purposes. You just can't miss with these top-notch artists. Find them on social and peruse their work; prepare to be amazed!

Even 3 days before Valentine's Day, there were still plenty of cards to choose from, and they were re-stocking more as I was there. I love that they have all different price points. You can spend 99 cents on a card or 10 dollars- or anywhere in between, and the quality is high no matter what. They also have an amazing gift section- candles, jewelry, tea, magnets, puzzles, stuffed animals, shirts, stationery, the most beautiful wrapping paper and bags, Vera Bradley items... You name it they've got it. And the candy and chocolate- such a huge selection! From single serve truffles to Jelly Belly jelly beans to popcorn to high-end chocolates, just to name a few. Love it all. Even though the store is packed with stuff, it doesn't feel messy or crowded. It's very attractively laid out and extremely clean.

The store is very clean and well organized. Staff is seemingly friendly...the manager is quite attentive and helpful.

Really wish this place wasn't so far from home...it is not conveniently located for me but alas, it is the nearest option now that Brookside and PV have lost their Hallmark stores...hope this one isn't next!

Kansas City seems to be wedding mecca. I'm not sure why, other than we have more unusual and cool…read morevenues than you can shake something borrowed or blue at. It's also an extremely affordable city and is right in the middle of the country. While there are some truly fabulous and reasonable venues out there (River Market Event Place, Foundation, Berg Event Space, and the former Arts Incubator), the rental companies seem to charge a small fortune and can get away with it *and* give you 'tude when you question something ridiculous like a bar costing 75 dollars when the "bar" is merely one small table put on top of another with an ugly linen skirt around it. What adds insult to injury is that you're spending a lot of money on the least fun or remarkable aspects of your occasion. Necessary and no fun. I've received quotes from several rental companies in town and AA Promotions is the clear winner as far as quality and price. I mean, by a landslide. The tables are so beautiful that you barely need the linens, but of course you do need the linens for fancy occasions and guess what? They are not close to 20 bucks a pop here like they are at other unnamed rental companies. 20 bucks to rent a linen. I just don't get it. AA charges less than 10 dollars. Sam, the owner, is gracious, prompt, dependable and... this is the best part: he'll arrange the tables for you (that's right... he is the delivery person, so you know you're getting top notch care and attention). *And* when picking post event, he doesn't make you break down all the tables (the last thing you feel like doing after an event). I should mention that delivery fees are also incredibly fair. Again, this is not common in Kansas City. I once used a company that had left the thousand dollars worth of tables, coat racks, bars and linens that I had rented at a crazy high price in a graceless heap in the corner of the venue. I spent an hour figuring out what was what and which table clothes went with which tables. They also charged me for not breaking down and leaving everything for them in a (similarly untidy) heap. I won't mention names, but these are all things you should question when choosing a rental company. I strongly recommend AA. I never thought I'd feel so strongly about this type of business before, but after planning several large scale events, now I know!

I rented with AA promotions off of the other, singular, 5-star Yelp review at the time. This was…read morepossibly one of the best decisions I made while planning my wedding. You will not find another rental company who is better to work with. Many of the awesome business, price, and rental aspects were covered in Joi B's review, and were accurate for me as well so I won't be repetitive. But yeah, wonderful is a good word for it. What really guarantees AA Promotions and its owner, Sam, all of my future table-and-chair-rental business was a situation after my wedding. As several co-workers and I were setting up an event, we realized at 7:00pm on a Friday night (the event starting at 7am the next morning) we didn't have enough chairs. When I called AA on the slim chance they would be able to help, Sam picked up the phone by the third ring. Unfortunately he was already booked for delivery, but he gave us several leads for other rental places and even offered to let us come pick up chairs if we were able, since he had the inventory but not the scheduling capacity. I could tell he was genuinely concerned about my situation, and that alone made me feel better. It all worked out, and we weren't able to use AA Promotions, but it was nice to have an ally who knew the business. A tip to learn from me: we wound up over-ordering by about 5 tables and 60 chairs. It didn't occur to me to call Sam before the event, but he let me know for next time that if the numbers change to simply call him and he'd adjust the order so we didn't pay for things we didn't need. That may be industry standard - I don't rent tables and chairs that often - but it was a nice gesture and he was super sad that he had to charge me. He was very sweet. TL;DR - Small shop means you get exceptional, personal service at roughly 2/3rds the cost of other rental companies.
