Hired Rachel for my daughter's 5th birthday party…read more Rachel was incredibly thoughtful and detail-oriented. She carefully discussed every aspect of the event with me and even visited the venue in advance, coming all the way from a distant area. Her service was truly thorough and professional. The balloon decorations on the day of the event were stunning, and the catering was absolutely delicious. Both kids and adults kept asking, "Who made this food? Where is it from?" Everything was handled so efficiently and seamlessly by Rachel and her team The quality of her work was exceptional, and the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend her to all my friends If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would ++

Dave and his partner were very welcoming, making jokes to warm up the kids and giving suggestions on balloon colors and tattoo stencils. I would definitely recommend again and they were more affordable than other businesses for what they offer.

I highly recommend Party Time Hawaii for any and all of your future events!…read more I first reached out to Dave about a week before my sons 1st birthday party. I was worried they wouldn't have availability since it was so last minute, but we were able to book with him! His replies were always very fast (within 20 minutes) and he made the booking process so quick and easy. Their prices are very reasonable as well! On the day of the party, they arrived early to set up. We booked them for balloon twisting and airbrush tattoos and all our guests, both children and adults, loved them! Their work was very beautiful and all the kids kept lining back up for more. It was adorable seeing all the tattoos and balloons everywhere! They were so great with the kids and all our guests had so much fun. Dave made my son a Winnie the Pooh balloon and he absolutely loved it. The sweet woman working with Dave (unfortunately I forget her name, my brain was all over the place at the time) made my son a little turtle balloon bracelet and he was obsessed with it! She also asked for my favorite color, and then made me a rose balloon in that color! She actually walked all the way across the room to hand them to us both times. They were both very sweet people! All in all, I'm so happy with this whole experience from beginning to end! Thank you Party Time Hawaii, I highly recommend!

For our day, they took care of the catering, service, lei making, hula dancing, and acai bowl station at Paliku Gardens and we could not have been more pleased with everything they were a part of. The food was wonderful, they were patient and flexible as timing shifts were made during the reception that evening, and they truly went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of the night went smoothly. Yarden worked incredibly hard to ensure all details that we discussed in advance of the day were translated. We are so happy we went with 1979 Hawaii for this special day and would 10/10 recommend them for any special event or wedding you are planning in Hawaii!

Highly recommend balloon twisters and their face painting partner for your next event!…read more First off, these guys are teachers during the weekdays so they're great with kids and they're hardworking. They'll do their best to give you their best and they know how to deliver. If you look at the photos of the things my friends and I got from them, you'll see how great they are! Listen, we're grown adults celebrating our friend's daughter and if your friend tells you to get balloon hats, you get balloon hats. If the daughter tells aunty to get their face painted, we get our face painted. We wanted her to get her monies worth! Also, we sat right next to the table so it wasn't hard to make a request when there was no line. I don't even have kids but we had a fun time with them. I don't know the next time I'll ever need to book them but I do know they will be so worth it.

I'm not one to really write reviews, but I HAVE to give a huge shoutout to Balloon Twisters Hawaii…read more I've seen Balloon Twisters Hawaii a while ago at someone else's party. I loved the magic show and the vibes so they were the first group I thought of and wanted to book for my son's 1st birthday (my husband also loves magic shows so he was stoked we got to book with them). They were literally my one stop shop for MULTIPLE things! We did the party package pro + projector and screen rental. Everything from the inquiry, to the emails, to the payments, AND reminders (because I lose track of time a lot) all were such a smooth process. I'm naturally always anxious and stressed, and want to make sure everything runs smoothly. Sooo much of my anxiety was eased because of Balloon Twisters Hawaii. They were organized, timely, cleaned up after themselves, effectively communicated with my husband and I, AND were such a breath of fresh air with their humor. Our friends and family were all engaged with the entertainment and were loving the variety of options for the balloon twisting. Super happy this all worked out. Will definitely book again in the future!!!!

Can't say enough good things about Randy and Lyn. Lyn is so creative. She sure has a gift and I'm…read moreglad I stumbled across her instagram. It just makes you want to keep planning parties so she can be a part of it. I ordered cakes from her, and a whole party package, and we've communicated through email a lot. She's pretty prompt on responding emails. My consultations with her have been easygoing and productive as well. I totally trust her ideas and her creative eye which I lack. I'm not afraid to ask for her input and what she suggests. She has a calm demeanor, and is very easy to talk to. I trusted her after 10 minutes of meeting with her. And don't be fooled, we may be just meeting with Lyn and talking ideas, but Randy is also working hard behind the scenes! I love wife - husband businesses, and I have so much respect for thriving businesses that include both spouses working together. I ordered two cakes, one for my daughter and one for my husband for their birthdays. I ordered a blues clues cake at first for my daughter because she LOVED watching blues clues on her ipad, then she had a dramatic shift and wanted to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse like all the time!! I changed the theme 2 weeks before I had to pick up the cake, and Lyn was totally find with it. I ordered a skeet shooting cake for my husband because that sport is his passion. He was Sooo excited for it! Lyn didn't have any experience in making that theme, but I sent her pictures and ideas, and she brought it to life. She even picked the right shot gun to place on his cake. The cakes looked great, but omg they tasted SOOOOOO good. I didn't know which one was my favorite. I thought I'd love strawberry, but the chocolate was amazing too. I would purchase other cakes from her again just to eat the cake. I have a party package coming up soon in May, and I'm so excited for Lyn and Randy to make that vision come to life for our family again! Make Randy and Lyn your ONE STOP party boutique!

Usually this is a busy time of the year, but she was patient and her team was incredibly amazing...always reassuring me everything will go well AND it did! From wedding planning to wedding rehearsals to the day of the wedding, she was with me every step of the way. We wanted a simple Day wedding, and our ceremony was held at my Alma Mater (Sacred Hearts Academy) and the venue was at Natsunoya Tea House. I didn't need a lot of decor since it was Christmas time and the decor everywhere you go is beautiful. I had simple burgundy table runners and roses as our decorative flowers. Since it was a Day wedding, the view on top of the hill was breathtaking. Geri made sure the husband and I were stress-free and to truly enjoy our special day. If you need a planner/coordinator for your big event, I recommend Geri and her Angelic Creations team. Thank you Angelic Creations!

It is important took book a year or more in advance because the fill up quickly with other parties and weddings. They also do children's birthdays and graduations. My wedding turned out perfectly. Everything was timed wonderfully. Geri went over the timeline in advanced with my wedding party. So everyone knew what they were doing. There was no disorder and chaos. I could relax and enjoy my big day. Geri also worked well with my photographer, Bianca, videographer, Journey Cinema, and makeup and stylist, Moana Cheryll. Everyone stuck to the schedule so the wedding went perfectly. The wedding was so good that when it came to my daughter's first birthday in June, I didn't hesitate in hiring Geri and her team as soon as my daughter was 5 months old. I knew graduation season would be most craziest and my child's birthday would be in the midst of it all. So I booked early. The birthday party turned out as perfect as my wedding Geri and her worked well with my photographer, Jen from Hanabata Days. Geri is also reasonably priced and does more than what I could ever imagine.

TEC ART HAS DONE IT AGAIN!…read more I had a great experience when I was planning my daughters 1st birthday that I knew I would be coming back to their services again in the future. One year later, here I am giving an update on this year's services I had Tec Art help do for me. I wasn't planning on having a big celebration for my daughter this year that would require to hire vendor services but we found out we were going to welcome my 13 year old stepson home for good to Hawaii from Oregon. So I decided why not have a surprise welcoming party along with my daughters 2nd Birthday?! I contacted Maria a few months before the party date. Luckily she was available that night to provide services with them. I worked closely with her through emails and text if needed. Our date had to be changed to the following week and even though she was already booked with two other parties, she was still willing to take me on even though we had some conflicts that we managed to compromise. So grateful for her and her team to go above and beyond to meet our needs and expectations even through all the changes I had requested. The following services I got from them were: Digital Invitation Centerpieces Banner Money box Goody Bags Cardboard Sign Stage Balloons Let me tell you though! Trying to incorporate two themes is harder than trying to plan one theme. But Maria helped me go through ideas and it turned out awesome! We planned a joint TWOdles Minnie Mouse and Slytherin Harry Potter theme that fit well for the kids. There's so many ideas on Pinterest that could help guide your way but when you're indecisive person like me, it helps to have a planner that will help in making your decision. I threw random ideas at Maria and basically took it all into consideration and provided samples of what it'll look like. One thing I've noticed that some comments have been made by other people is that they don't get a response fast enough from them. I understand why they would say that but yet I have experience with this company two years in a row and they are a small business that provides a lot of services so it can be overwhelming. My advice would be to just be patient and if anything, do follow up emails like I did and even text/call them if you want a quicker response. From my experience, even though it may take longer for a response, I know that they're doing their job and will execute whatever request with pride. Their past events that they've done shows talent and impressive work. The end product was worth it. Thank you Maria & Jay for another year of party success and your generosity! :)

I was referred to Maria and Jay from a friend of mine because I was planning my son's 1st birthday party and looking for vendors. I then looked them up on Instagram to see their work and I was blown away! I have never seen balloon art like theirs and it's simply amazing! Very detailed, and extremely creative! I looked at few other companies before checking them out, and I knew once I saw their work that I HAD to have them for my son's 1st birthday party! I contacted Maria via Email about a month or two after my son was born (early I know, but the 1st birthday party planning struggle is real! And if you want certain vendors, you need to touch base w/them early to secure your date!) and she responded after a day or two. The first time I called her she picked up right away! And we were able to discuss my son's "Space Jam" themed party. Our first meeting was to discuss what we wanted for my son's party as far as colors, and what package we wanted to go with. For my son's party, they did the balloon art which included spiral columns, name arch, balloon decorations for the stage, cake table balloons, reception balloons, banner, basketball hoop arch for the entrance, centerpiece's, 3 balloons attached to centerpiece on each table and money box. (Money box was added to the package just two weeks before the party and they were able to accommodate! I am so thankful for that!) Throughout the year working with Maria was awesome, she always responded to my emails and returned my calls. She even accommodated last minute changes my bf wanted to make with the colors (just two weeks before the party) thank you for that!! Our last meeting was to give her our centerpiece items for the clear stuffed balloons and go over last details. The day of the party they were early and ready to go! (our venue was the Hawaii Okinawa Center in Waipio and they only give you an hour to set up). The balloon set up was amazing, almost a year working with Maria and to see all our planning come to life paid off! It was a great weight lifted off my shoulders! They make planning a party that much easier! I don't think you'll find another balloon company as creative as Tec Art Ideas! They are such a hard working team! On top of that they do so much more! Just inquire with Maria and she can definitely let you know all that they do. I hope this is not the last time I work with Maria and Jay of Tec Art Ideas Hawaii because they were very professional and creative which shows in their work. I appreciate all their input and ideas throughout the planning process and I'll be forever thankful!

They did not block anything off. other than that bathroom was really nice and clean and they had a stage.
