Absolutely wonderful experience ordering from Noelia's party boutique!

I came in inquiring a week ago, and she indicated she needed a 3 week lead time. We were just under that but aligned on getting it done. She got it done over a week early and my little gal came along to pick it up. SHE IS SO IN LOVE! I'm actually having doubts that she'll let us break him open at the party, HAHA! He's currently on display in our living room in the meantime :-) Thank you! We'll definitely be back for future party needs!

Vibes: University Avenue has many things; it's certainly a street to enjoy, observe, and find your interest. The place itself is nothing too flashy but they certainly have a lot of goods. Good selections of snacks, party favors, and especially the choices of pinatas were great! Overall: 4 stars. Great! Good choices and reasonable prices. Jose was helpful. For party favored needs, especially for Hispanic festivities and flavors, this is the spot. TL;DR Tips: *Nothing too special, if you're unsure, ask the employees.

I had such a great experience with Balloon Guru. From start to finish, everything felt easy and…read morewell organized. They were quick to respond, open to ideas, and offered helpful suggestions that made the final setup even better than I imagined. The quality of the balloons and overall design really stood out. Everything looked polished, vibrant, and held up beautifully throughout the event. You can tell they care about getting every detail right. On top of that, they were right on time and handled setup smoothly, which made a big difference on a busy day. It's rare to find a team that combines creativity, reliability, and great customer service so well. Highly recommend Balloon Guru if you want something that looks amazing without the stress.

I put out an inquiry to 5 different balloon vendors and only one other company reached out to ask…read moreme a question. After I provided the answer, they never responded back to me. Balloon Guru was the only vendor actively engaging with me. I had only 2 weeks before my event and needed to book a vendor. The process was quick and efficient. Although I had no other vendors to which I could compare pricing, I did feel the price was a bit expensive. However, when you are in a bit of a time crunch, you have to go with what you got. We ordered 2 balloon columns and 2 demi-arches to help add to the decor for our event. The items were delivered in the promised window and we were pleased with outcome. My only slight complaint was that I wish the demi-arches were a bit taller to not make our taller guests have to bend down to avoid possibly running into a balloon. Other than that, everything went fine with the balloon order. I would recommend Balloon Guru.

The best part about Fun Services is Ms Barbara! The nicest, most helpful and knowledgeable lady in…read morethe balloon business. She always goes above and beyond for her clients! It's really not her job to help color match as she is a wholesale balloon supplier. But the fact that she still tries (and she's even given me advice as a newbie balloonist), really is just a testament to the kind of person she is. She is both kind and professional, and is the main reason why I love giving her my business. I also like that Fun Services is committed to quality and only carries carefully selected brands and inventory. They stand behind the products they offer. It's so nice to have a reliable supplier that's not too far from where I live! Also for the people complaining about the masks, that's very unkind and presumptuous to assume she's trying to make you uncomfortable. How do you know she doesn't have an autoimmune condition or is caretaker for someone who is at risk? That's why I wear my mask.

Love their piñatas! Always cheerful, helpful, and the quality is consistent. Highly recommend.read more

The store itself was FILLED with different kinds of piñatas, and if she didn't have one that matched your theme she would either find one or make it (I believe). They also sold variety candies that included toys - it was a one stop shop! Pricing was cheap! I believe this one was $45 and an additional $5-10 for the stick. And it was STURDY. We filled it with so much candy, it was so heavy, but the tie at the top didn't budge. Highly recommend this place for your piñata needs!

This piñata store has my business for life!…read more Basically I needed a a custom orange like button piñata in less than two weeks. I couldn't find any piñatas at stores or on online, and most online options are superrr expensive! When I found piñata place, i was so surprised they were able to do custom designs, for relatively short notice, and I was charged a very reasonable and affordable amount $39. The store also had other pre made options that could work well for multitude of events. For example, Disney/cartoon characters, giant beer bottles, etc. Getting to the store was easy as well, plenty of street parking. The lady who helped me (sorry i forgot your name!) was very nice and friendly. I placed the order just a week and a half before the event i needed it for, and she told me it typically takes at least 2 weeks but expedited it for me. She actually had it ready 2 days in advanced! So cool that they have this custom service. Def will recommend this small business for all your piñata needs.

I had so much fun exploring Tokyo Central & Main! What makes this place unique is that it's…read moreactually made up of three separate stores--two grocery markets and one dedicated to merchandise featuring everything from adorable Japanese plushies and cookware to cosmetics, electronics, and so much more. And yes...I had to explore all three! Both markets were bright, clean, and incredibly well organized. One of my favorite sections was the tea aisle. As someone who absolutely loves tea, I was in heaven. Their selection is huge, with everything from loose-leaf teas to powdered varieties that you don't typically find in traditional American grocery stores. I'll definitely be back to stock up on a few new favorites. I originally stopped in to purchase a matcha whisk set, but it was a little more than I wanted to spend. That didn't stop me from finding a few treasures, though! I ended up browsing the cookware section and picked up a beautifully designed set of reusable chopsticks along with beginner-friendly M-shaped training chopsticks. One unexpected highlight was getting to try a hand massage machine. It applies pressure to acupuncture points throughout your hand, and wow--it felt amazing! I'm seriously considering going back just to buy one. The produce section also looked fresh and inviting, so I can definitely see myself returning to shop for groceries. Plus, since my sons love anime, I already know they'll enjoy checking out the merchandise store with all the fun Japanese collectibles and character items. Whether you're looking for authentic Japanese groceries, unique kitchenware, specialty teas, or fun gifts, Tokyo Central & Main is absolutely worth visiting. If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend stopping by--you'll probably leave with more than you planned, just like I did! And you already know you can always thank me later

I was really nervous that I wasn't going to find anyone that could help me out, but Sandi was able to fit us in and did an amazing job. She arrived super early, set up the arch and clusters of balloons down my patio and it all looked great! This year I decided to be a little more proactive, so I reached out to Sandi in early June and she took great care of us once again. I could not be happier with Sandi's follow up and professionalism. Her and her team even came back later that night to pick up the arch base so we didn't have to worry about storing it. I will definitely continue to use Sandi and Balloon Utopia year after year for our Pride balloon needs! You won't find a more accommodating and professional team.

I needed balloons for my son's bar mitzvah, and was on a strict budget, but had little idea of what exactly it was I wanted. Sandi helped me come up with a simple, but very attractive and festive design, and did it all within my budget. No weird hidden fees or last minutes changes either which I am grateful for. Sandi met me at my temple to check out the place and made sure she set up according to the temple's restrictions (they are very picky about when the balloons can be set up). She also managed to set up two extra centerpieces at the last minute when I realized I needed extra tables to accommodate my guests. She didn't even charge me for those as she knew my budget was all used up! Anyway, I really liked working with Sandi and I think she was the easiest person I dealt with of all the party planning. I definitely recommend her and her business.

When a business is up front that they can't meet your needs and doesn't waste your time trying to either come up with something that won't work or being so late, you can't get what you want, that's a business you want to keep in your back pocket for later. I might change my mind about this review later, but the folks at The Party Station were more interested in my satisfaction than their ability to make a sale. That's quality ethics right there, and it's definitely something customers want to know about a vendor.
