An in-store visit in August; needing multiple balloons to commemorate a special day.. My experience…read morewas brutally bad. The manager seemed the most competent but why wasn't she helping customers? The store was fully staffed on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Which is surprising given that COVID-19 is still on-going and people aren't out quite as much in that area. The parking lot near them was empty and quiet. (Not the case across the lot by Trader Joe's. Which was crowded due to social distancing. They had a long line of customers waiting to get in.) Inside Party city, the employees talked amongst themselves and the "feel" is that everything is tediously slow. If a tumbleweed rolled through the store, that would be more thrilling than receiving their assistance. I needed Holy communion balloons. One cashier sent me searching down an aisle. It was ten minutes to close and had she helped me I could have been out of there faster. In any case I found two options and needed a recommendation. Something that could work and something utterly tacky. Asking employees for their opinions on balloon choice was ridiculous. One person didn't bother responding and the other asked whether it's for a girl. One of my options were pink balloons but were awfully tacky. I think if a person identifies as Catholic and a baby, they might. Hard MIGHT like that design. I got the decent one. Went back to the cashier and asked how much inflation service could cost and dude says 15 cents each. Score!** Here I'm thinking, might as well inflate 10-20 pieces given the low rate. **Moments later when the items are rung I realize he was incorrect. It's $1.20 per balloon... Seriously.. I ended up spending some $30+ dollars for balloons. Which, to any Party city employee or parent knowing how to stretch a dollar, is utterly ridiculous. The best deal is to buy a mini tank of helium which when paired with balloons is the best buy you could hope for. Having the tank means, you can make balloons for any number of parties in the future till the tank runs out. Surf reviews and you'll see a trend. When in doubt or in a pinch, try to get the store manager to help you. If management is reading this; advanced training or exercises to train staff in encountering customers is necessary. It's the basics.. the welcome greeting, how may I assist you, actively participating in aiding the customer rather than sending them in a direction. Helping customers rather than talking with their co-workers. Just recently I needed party supplies for a gathering in a nearby suburb. But because of this last visit, I just wanted a simpler shopping experience. So, I opted for a nearby city location rather than visiting here which would have been more convenient.

As with most Wedding Planners and Event Managers - we are very focused on finding the ideal venue,…read morewhich will help us to deliver a beautiful and memorable event for our clients. Our first impression upon arriving at The Cotillion Banquets in Palatine, IL - for an upcoming wedding venue selection visit, was the grand and opulent exterior and ample parking lot. Our team from Luxe Décors and Events, LLC, was greeted by George, the director and information specialist on everything you hoped for, wanted and envisioned to happen, at The Cotillion Banquets in Palatine, IL. George is beyond warm, pleasant, professional, knowledgeable, charming, gracious, efficient, and oh so very skilled at listening to what you would like to accomplish for the event, that you have been hired to do. We hit it off with George IMMEDIATELY upon meeting him. He took us on a guided tour of The Cotillion Banquets, explaining to us in measured detail, what was at our disposal, to ensure that we would be able to do everything that we had planned, and be able to provide our clients - the wedding of their dreams, with regards to their décor and wedding theme. The staff at The Cotillion, under George's dedicated, experienced and genuine love and pride for what he has been doing for so many, many years - also reflects the outstanding service provided by everyone at The Cotillion Banquets. The kitchen staff, is beyond kind, truly professional and obviously loves what they do. The table settings were impeccable. The food - all freshly prepared by The Cotillion staff - is simply AMAZING !!! When we first arrived to meet with George and get to see what The Cotillion had to offer - we had already been informed about the superb level of service and the first class menu selections. The Cotillion DID NOT DISAPPOINT. We were also introduced to the owners of The Cotillion, who were also so genuinely kind and considerate, obviously wanting to also ensure, that we knew they were available, should we have any additional concerns. The Cotillion Banquets in Palatine will forever be Number One on our recommendation list for any and all events, which we are privileged to manage. We cannot say enough about ALL that George did to make this wedding event so beautiful, memorable, classy and successful. No matter how skilled, talented, or experienced an Event Planner is - without directors such as George at the venue site - who can offer their kindness, experience and support - an event will not be as successful and seamless as you may have envisioned. We at Luxe Décors and Events, LLC, are eternally grateful to you George, your staff and the owners - at The Cotillion Banquets in Palatine - for your genuine friendship, guidance and assistance, in helping to make the wedding event on November 22, 2024, the elegant success that it was. THANK YOU GEORGE, FOR MAKING OUR JOB SEAMLESSLY SUCCESSFUL!! Bravo to you George and a special toast as well to you and Everyone at The Cotillion Banquets.
