I was throwing a bridal shower for my brother's fiancé and was very stressed because i couldn't get a Saturday morning delivery for balloons. Every business i called was too busy with graduations to take my order or wanted to deliver BEFORE 10am but the venue would not allow us in until 11am. I had a huge dilemma and was making calls for hours! My 9 year old son googled and found Life o' the Party. I spoke to Mark, the President, who was very polite, PATIENT and professional. Not only could he put the balloons together and take my order but he could solve my delivery problem. He offered to deliver the balloons to the venue on Friday, the day BEFORE the event. I had some serious concern because I didn't think they would last through the night and I didn't want deflated, droopy balloons at the party. Mark assured me that every balloon would be coated with a special spray that prolongs their "life-span". I figured i had nothing to lose. The balloons were delivered the day before the party, as promised. The day of the party I was in awe!!! The balloons were still firm and upright!!! They looked as if they had just been blown up! That is some MAGICAL spray they put on those balloons! They looked AMAZING, lasted throughout the entire 4 hour party and were STILL going strong afterwards! Mark even sent me an EXTRA small bouquet of balloons. Doesn't get any better than that! I highly recommend them! Don't waste your time anywhere else. read more

I'm a huge fan of singing telegrams. Not that anyone has ever sent me one or that I've sent all that many, but there's something about them that always puts a smile on my face. Who in the world would be able to forget that moment when they see a singing, dancing hotdog?! A few years ago, I had gotten one for my best friend's birthday. I was NOT impressed! But I knew that it's what I wanted to do for my boyfriend's 36th birthday this year. I was a little hesitant from my past experience so I decided to do a little more research. I asked for something very specific. I was looking for Mr. Met but they didn't have it. Laurie, the person I spoke to, was quick thinking! She offered a hot dog costume, which was perfect! Who goes to a baseball game and doesn't get a hotdog?! And she brought in this HUGE Mets balloon along with other balloons and a basket full of tricks. She was lively and enthusiastic. She involved the patients that were in the waiting and she really livened the mood. Needless to say, my boyfriend was not only surprised and embarrassed, but he loved it. He said it had been one of his most memorable birthdays so far. I'm so glad I chose Life o' the Party! Thank you Laurie!! read more

Life O' the Party gets top marks from me because i called (from Washington, DC) at the last possible minute--on a saturday. i left a message and thought, oh well, lost cause. my phone rang at around 7, 7:30 saturday evening. it was the owner asking what he could do for me! i had been intimidated by all the extravagant balloon things--archways and "drops" and structures--this company can do, and was a bit apologetic wondering if they could do something simple and last-minute. the owner was perfectly happy to deliver 100 pink balloons sunday afternoon to Ridgewood NJ to help celebrate my grand-niece's birthday (also her mother's and step-sister's--all within a few days). the balloons got there in fine time and virtually covered the ceiling of the dining room! every little girl's dream? i don't know, but it sure looked great! thanks, Life O' the Party--you really saved this great-aunt's bacon! read more

Laurie was amazing - professional, experienced and a breeze to work with. I reached out after finding LOTP in an online search and decided to call based on all their positive reviews. This company did not disappoint. Not only were they flexible with my extremely last minute request (4pm on the eve of Valentine's Day) but Laurie shared her past experience with a similar special delivery and her advice proved to be spot on! After talking with her, I knew I had found the perfect company to meet my needs. They were detailed in what services would be provided, patient with me in our initial meeting and went the extra mile to make my special delivery memorable and a complete success. This is a group that you can trust! read more

Mark was extremely helpful to us when putting together the centerpieces for our daughter's Bat Mitzvah. He was patient, explained all about the lift of balloons (which dictated what I could and could not do), looked at different options and was available when we needed. I trusted him to execute what we discussed, even though we wouldn't be there when he set up the room. The room looked AMAZING!!! It was everything he described and more. The impact was just as we had imagined. Everyone couldn't get over the decor and the balloons made it fabulous!!! Thank you Mark...wish I had another affair to plan but won't be until the weddings many years from now. read more

This vendor was recommended by a person that had used them and was extremely pleased. I can only say W O W !!! They did an amazing job - with very little notice - I had an even for 175 people and they did 14 table arrangements, plus a custom 2-column balloon arrangement that was totally awesome. The delivery people arrived on time to the event location, set everything up, and were professional and courteous. I have nothing but praise for this company and will only use them going forward. Just a note - was originally going to use a vendor in Englewood who was discourteous, never returned calls, etc. I'm so glad I found out about this company!!! read more

Had a 60th birthday party for my fiancé in New Jersey....I am from Connecticut and had no idea who to use...I googled and found life o the party and did an online inquiry...Mike the owner responded immediately to my inquiry and helped and guided me along the way...after a phone conversation we were able to do everything via email which was quite helpful...and he conveyed it exactly as I wanted...I pulled up to the venue...and right on time was the delivery...the gentleman delivering and setting up could not have been nicer...or more helpful....I would absolutely use and recommend them to anyone! Thank you! Cindy in Danbury! read more

I admit that we're event professionals, primarily live entertainment though, and on the occasion (bad pun) we need any balloon decor or work or any kind of balloon knowledge at all, we call Mark Zetler. He's the consummate pro, true to his word, on time and has always exceeded my expectations every time. I just did an event for PepsiCo corporate executives and he was so flexible, allowed me to change my mind on a couple of pre-determined orders, with no fuss. His assistant was amazing too. I realize writing this that Life O' The Party may be my professional "secret weapon" for balloon decor. read more

I was organizing my twins' baptism and couldn't find anyone to get balloons, delivery and also set it all up. I worked with Mark, president of the company and he was great. I was so stressed with all of the planning and the balloons arrived and were set up so beautifully. The process was easy, seamless and so professional. The event turned out beautiful and I couldn't be happier with this service. Look not elsewhere but here!!!! I don't usually write reviews but just absolutely had to for the wonderful service I received!! Can't wait for my next celebration ..... !!!! Great work!! read more

Mark did a great job on my son's Bar Mitzvah decorations. We were doing a special luncheon and then a kids party that night and required different decor for each. Mark created exactly what we discussed, including a 7 foot tall basketball player made entirely of balloons with s cutout of my son's face on top! He also made a very cool gift card box customized with a basketball net and my son's name. Overall, a great experience working with Life O' the Party, but then, I knew it would be since he also did the decorations for my older son's event 2 years ago! read more

We chose Life O' the Party for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah because we loved the suggestion the woman operating their booth at the Mitzvah Mart had for her theme (silhouettes in different figure skating positions). We were not disappointed! Mark worked with my daughter's requests (height, balloon colors, etc.) and designed the most beautiful centerpieces! He also designed a gorgeous sign board based only on the colors and rough sketch we emailed to him. All delivered on time, in perfect condition. We couldn't be happier! read more

Mark, the owner put together a special delivery and exceeded our expectations. He arrived with his team to set up early, and stayed as long as we needed them to! Life O' The Party balloons lasted days, compared to other companies we have worked with where they fall in a few hours. Can't beat the prices and selection. He is loyal to his customers and makes magic happen. I look forward to working with Mark and his company for my next parties to come! Thank you for the incredible balloon experience.

We found the Life O' The Party company on the Internet and were very much happy with the service they provided for us for our daughter birthday party. Everything that we ordered: balloon decoration, DJ, animal balloon performer were great! The party was fantastic! Even we only had 1 week in advance before the party, I was able to set everything with Life O' The Party during 10 min! Absolutely looking forward to use their services in future and will highly recommend them to all of my friends. read more

Life O' The Party was very excellent to with for my mom's surprise 60th birthday party! Mark was very accommodating and professional! They did the centerpieces and a large "60" arch! It was beautiful! The delivery team made sure that everything was in place perfectly before they left. All of the guests were admiring all of the pieces, especially the arch! I will definitely use Life O' The Party for future events, and I will definitely recommend them to anyone in need of their services. read more

This is the second time that we used Mark at Life of the Party. He just completed my son's Bar Mitzvah using a soccer theme. He did the greatest centerpieces using turf, soccer balls and a pennant of each of his favorite teams, with their actual insignias. It was topped off with balloons! Mark was so easy to work with and the cost was very reasonable. The room looked fantastic! I highly recommend Mark and his team to anyone who wants a festive look and an easy experience! read more

We have known Mark and his company Life of the Party for over 15 years. Not only is he a true professional, he is also the editor of our industry trade magazine. Mark really knows his craft and it shows in his work. From concept to completion, he has been there for us, every step of the way. When we have a client that asks for a referral in North Jersey he and his team are the only company were would recommend. Rick Sicolo CBA Balloon Celebrations LLC read more
