Unfortunately, the balloon started deflating before I even reached home--and I live just around the corner. I called the store and was told to come back, but once I did, they said the balloon had a hole and refused to refund, replace it, or even try to fix it with tape. When I first left the store, the balloon already didn't look fully inflated, but I assumed it was intentional. Clearly, that wasn't the case. Very disappointing experience. I won't be supporting this place again. For me it's not about the money but the way they handled the whole situation.

The prices were comparable to cards found at other stores, but the ambiance and memories don't compare to the Hallmark Shop.

From our very first interaction to our final goodbye, she was kind, responsive, informative and reliable. She was very quick to answer any questions, she made the process easy, stress free, and accommodating. Her communication was always spot on and not once did I wonder what was happening or what needed to be done. Not only is she professional, she does amazing work. Like a magician, she arrived with her supplies and very quickly got to work creating this beautiful decor. Our arrangement came out better than expected, was high quality and everyone loved it. As an individual, she is very sweet and personable; she went above and beyond by coming back to retrieve the arrangement after the party ended (was great not to have to figure out the cleanup of so many bulky balloons) and she even separated some balloons to gift to the children in attendance so they could play with them. I will be using Pop it Bae for all of my future party decor needs and recommend her to anyone looking for an expert. Thank you so much for your help Fatima!

Yury is not a pleasant person to work with, he misses a number of important details, and he puts…read morehimself first vs customers first. Background: I called Yury and placed an order for balloons for my wife's birthday on 11/16 and also paid him in advance. Attached is a screenshot of my Venmo payment to Yury on 11/7 saying "Balloons for 11/16 birthday event". It specifically says 11/16. Somehow Yury thought the event was on 11/9 as he had called me on 11/9 asking about details of the order. It was at that time I realized Yury had the wrong date as he was already making the balloons. I told him "no it is on 11/16" and he said all of his notes say 11/9. I know my wife's birthday so I am positive I said 11/16 and also my screenshot attached shows "11/16 event". The way I see it is Yury had 3 options at this point: 1. Put the customer first - Yury could think to himself: ok balloons are cheap, helium is cheap, and while he spent some time making the balloons, the customer may have been right here. He could have decided to just agree to fulfill the order on 11/16. 2. Find a middle ground - Yury could have thought, maybe he was in the wrong or maybe the customer was in the wrong, in which case let's find a middle ground / compromise. If so, he could have told me "hey I already spent some time/effort and materials in fulfilling the order, but how about I charge you for some of the materials and labor." Even if Yury proposed charging me for half of the total cost of the order, this would make some sense. 3. Put himself first - this is the option Yury decided to go with as he kept saying on and on that all of his notes say 11/9 and that he already made the balloons. Yury would not budge on anything. I even proposed to Yury: "ok how about you I pay you for a new order but you waive the $90 delivery fee for the new order" ($90 for delivery is a whole other issue where I feel like he overcharged to deliver within 5-10 minutes from his location). Even with this suggestion, Yury had to think about it and wouldn't give me a clear answer. Why is that such a difficult decision? Yury did not go and make a delivery on 11/9 so why would he charge me again for delivery the next week on 11/16? Makes no sense. Just use the $90 for delivery from my original order and apply it to my second order. Of those 3 options, I personally would have never chose option 3 if I were in Yury's shoes. If there is a Venmo payment showing 11/16 and the customer is saying it is his wife's birthday, it is likely 11/16. For that reason, I would have chose option 1 or at bare minimum option 2. However, Yury decided to put himself first here. Not the type of person I want to do business with personally and this is the type of person you would be working with if you choose to use Balloons Decor. Aside from the date of the event (which was very very important), Yury also got my order wrong. He sent over a quote, I told him no this wasn't what he discussed, and he realized and acknowledged it was his bad. People running a business need to be DETAIL ORIENTED, otherwise it can put customers like myself in situations like this. Lastly, Yury just isn't a pleasant person to talk to or work with based on my personal opinion. I would avoid this business.

I asked for a 13x13 pink soft play area and they were able to send of a contract, confirm availability, and set-up/break-down the play area. It was such a hit for our group of friends because we have a lot of kids that are 1-5 years old. The guys showed up and put together the space really quickly. I didn't realize there was a giant beam in the middle of the space where I wanted the play area and the crew was able to work around it, which I really appreciated their flexibility. We did have a bit of a hiccup with the breakdown of the event because the crew confirmed with the wrong person when they were supposed to come down to take it all down, so they ended up showing up an hour late. Thankfully there wasn't an event after ours so it was all good. Overall really good experience and it was the best value in terms of set-up that I found in the area, so would definitely consider them for a soft play set-up again!
