I'm not sure if the storefront is closed to outside customers but there is no way to connect in person, by phone, or email. I see that there is a beautiful online presence with high profile events so perhaps, Wild Child only does large scale orders? As a resident local to the shop, it's sad to not have a local party/balloon specialty supplier. Hope this changes. read more

I came here last minute for balloons for my son's 2nd birthday and the girl was nice and accommodating but charged me $45 for 12 latex balloons . Crazy prices , needless to say I won't be going here for balloons again . read more

I got balloons from them 2 years ago for my son's first bday and the balloons were nice. But I have reached out multiple times for additional events and have not heard back once, online or on phone. read more

What a horrible experience on such a special day. First off this place is outrageously over priced. That being said we decided to overlook that factor and purchase some items for my daughters 2nd birthday party. We thought we would support a local small business, however the horrendous customer service cannot be overlooked. My family spent just under $100 in this place and around $40 on just balloons alone. On the day of my daughters party I went in to pick up my balloons and asked politely if I could PAY to have a few of my outside balloons blown up, the theme was Frozen and I had 6 latex Frozen balloons I wanted to add to the bunch. I was trying to avoid driving to another location as if I didn't already have a million things to get done before the party. Instead of accomadating a paying customer I was told to go to a grocery store to have them filled. The helium tank was literally 2 feet away and the first reason I was given was "quality of the balloons"..... ok.... Instead of arguing or causing a scene in the store I took my balloons and drove to Ralph's where they happily helped me out. I called my Aunt upset at the fact that we just spent a good deal of money at this place and was treated to poorly. My Aunt then called to complain and the reason she was given as to why my 6 balloons could not be filled was "helium shortage". So which is it? "Quality of my balloons" or "helium shortage". So not only are these women rude and pretentious but they are liars. Apparently my balloons we're just not good enough to be in their presence.. but our money sure was. Lastly, upon setting up for the party I realized a large mylar balloon I had purchased for $13 was deflated. They want to talk about "quality"? The pricey balloon literally lasted 1 hour. This was the last straw and my Aunt called back and demanded recourse. The one star I left was that at least they finally had some decency and drove out a replacement mylar balloon to the party site. The women sheepishly dropped the balloon off and tried to make a break for it without even offering so much as a "hello" or "I'm sorry". I'm sure she was embarrassed. I would be too at the behavior and lack of customer service exhibited that day. Long story short. Save your money they do not deserve it. We all love supporting local small business but in this case your really better off at Party city or ordering off Amazon. read more

Wild Child - Deflated number 2 balloon 1 hour after picking up. - Balloon Services Near Me - Long Beach, California

Such an adorable and unique party store . Leslie and Harley are very sweet and helpful. Come check them out, the selection is awesome !

UPDATE- my review was for Newport Beach location, & I entered the business address/ info etc. Not sure why it moved to Long Beach? -------- Located in Lido Marina Village, facing the corner (with flower stand & Sugar Paper stationary). Didn't even realize they opened a store here, and swung by after some ice cream. Forgot to take photos, but here are the store hours: Tuesday to Saturday 10AM-4PM Sunday 10AM-2PM Monday Closed Such a cute storefront, with their signature balloon garland. Inside is a dream! They have party decor, all organized in rainbow colors. If you need a colored cake stand, you'll find it here;) they have everything for a cute birthday party, and honesty most all Occasions. Small gifts, as well. Everything looks like great quality. The paper plates, cups, & such are Oh Happy Day Party Shop. They have the cutest ice cream & rainbow disposable plates & cups, It's just nice shopping for these items in person. You can order your balloon garlands & take home some balloon bouquets. Will be revisiting. read more

Don't support businesses that don't care about their clients. Such a disappointment. I've been an advocate of Wild Child Party since they were a tiny shop in Long Beach. I always presumed the best on my run ins at the shop, which weren't so great. I shopped there often for party supplies and would tag them on Instagram & my blog often, and they'd repost! (free advertisement, of course.) I was inquiring recently for a quote on their party room and perhaps event styling for the room. They asked for my budget so they could "find better recommendations within my budget" I said 1,500-2,500 depending on what we need. Only for them to say they don't do parties under 5k. I'm here to tell you that you don't need to spend 5-10k on a kids party for the "WOW factor" and you don't treat your loyal customers like trash just because you now do balloons for the kardashians. I could understand if you asked for my budget and gave me viable options that fit in my budget, but to turn a client away bc I don't fit minimums is unprofessional and arrogant. Good to know. read more

Wild Child - 5k minimum on "Event Styling" - Balloon Services Near Me - Long Beach, California

I can't say whether or not their services are actually great because I can never get through to anybody to get even a quote. The responsiveness of this company and everybody within it is really lacking and it's unfortunate Over the course of a year, I have called several times left messages gone through their website and nothing has ever come through as a response. I don't know how they can stay open. They're product looks beautiful through the windows though.... ‍‍‍ read more

They were great getting my balloons ready for my dad's 80th birthday party. Very friendly and professional. I will go here for now on for any party supply especially since they are only a few blocks from my house read more

It's always great to support local merchants, and that's why I went there, but I needn't have bothered. I entered the empty store, and the two women at the counter did not even bother to greet me. The selection of goods is very poor; not to mention overpriced. They did not even have any favor boxes, and all that could be suggested was paper bags. Really? They must do a roaring trade in balloons, because they can't be making a profit in party supplies. Don't waste your time going to this place. read more

I came to this store to grab some balloons for my daughter's surprise birthday party. I was really short on time and didn't want to drive all the way across town to grab some balloons. I walked into this store hopeful I can get some amazing balloons and they were able to deliver on the spot. However, I was told I should have placed the order online first, but they made an exception for a first time customer and helped me out. My family was so happy with the balloons and I will return back to this business for future party endeavors. Big shoutout to Natalie & Halie for working together to get me in and out and delivered excellent service and quality! read more

We had our little girls birthday party and used wild child party balloons for the party. We had a great experience. Customer service was great. There is a helium shortage per local vons, so factor that into pricing as It's a little expensive. I would use them again for any events we have. They delivered the balloons, but check to see if they can deliver to your area the day of event. Many corporations and celebs use them, and I can see why. They are the best! read more

Wild Child - Balloon Services Near Me - Long Beach, California

I loved my first experience here. Similarly, I live in the neighborhood and had driven by this cute shoppe multiple times. I was preparing for my Godson's first birthday and thought this would be a good excuse to purchase a fun balloon feature. I found some inspo from napkins in the store (so cute - animal themed) and the woman at the front desk was so helpful in picking out colors and coordinating with me via text on variations, updates etc. They delivered the balloons on Friday morning and I put them outside Saturday afternoon for the party. The woman who delivered the balloons was wonderful too! She gave me some tips on how to hang them and where. She also left behind some extra tiny balloons (I think they were back up in case something popped in the van) and I put them in a small kiddy pool in case little man wanted to play with them ‍ - he loved them!! He was thrilled - it was really cute how something so small entertained him for hours. Thank you Wild Child!! For context, the balloon arch much longer than expected ... about 4 days total. Can't wait to come back! Thanks for the great service and wonderful design. read more

Amazing customer service! Wild Child Party made a beautiful 8 foot balloon garland for my baby shower. It was around $200 and well worth the price. I chose to pick it up to avoid the $25 delivery fee, and the garland was ready and waiting for me as soon as I arrived. They have a large variety of unique party supplies and home decor as well. read more

Wild Child - 8ft balloon garland - Balloon Services Near Me - Long Beach, California

Decided to give this place a chance after driving by it the past year. Needed 10 simple balloons and giant number balloons for my brothers bday party. The cost was outlandish for balloons and when we got home we discovered the "3" was not tied properly and it was almost completely deflated. I love to plan parties on the side and was hoping this would workout, but i will never be going back here for anything again. read more

Thank you for making my two year olds birthday extra special with the wonderful balloon selection and confetti magic. She was beyond surprised to have colorful unicorn balloons staring at her on her special day. And thank you for being so helpful with choosing color combinations and selection, the expertise guidance is appreciated. The perfect bouquet for a perfect day. I'll be back! read more

Really cute and unique selection. A bit pricey, but nice to have a party store in the neighborhood.

We were buying balloons to celebrate a friend's U.S. Citizenship. Natalie and Genevieve went all out to help us. We went before the store opened but they helped us anyway. When there was a glitch with picking up the balloons, Natalie delivered them at 6 p.m. on Monday night. We needed them by 10:00 Tuesday morning. I would definitely recommend them. read more

Pretty balloon colors but they only lasted for four hours and when you're paying for their prices, it's completely not worth it. I ended up having to go get balloons from Party City which came at a way more reasonable $ are still floating. So overall, this was a waste of money. read more

We bought our gender reveal party baloon from wild child and it was perfect. They have a lot of other real cool party themes in the store too, that we might use for our next party. Four stars since it is a little pricey but you get what you pay for, and it is a local business which I am all for. read more

Wild Child - Gender reveal baloon - Balloon Services Near Me - Long Beach, California

I came in with a group of girls looking to purchase baby shower party goods but could not stay in the store for long because it was too hot! The lady working had the heat CRANKED UP because she was cold on a 70 degree day. Disappointed to say the least. read more

This place will make you want to throw an event even if you don't need to. Their stuff is adorable. Their ideas and set ups are incredible. They've helped me with hosting birthday parties, a gender reveal and even Christmas dinner. I love an excuse to go in here. I will admit that one time, we had a hiccup with customer service and I didn't feel like I was treated well in this single instance. The owner called me afterward, was extremely gracious, and really made things right with me, and to this day I am still a loyal customer. Great customer service is incredibly difficult to find but after the owner and I spoke, I genuinely got the sense that she is committed to her customers and cares about delivering an outstanding experience. I appreciated that then and have since returned and am so glad that I did. read more

Such a simple place to go to get fun party support - like a bunch of balloons or bunting, thank you wild child for being there when I need you spontaneously to make my friends and family happy! read more

They took a pretty vague request and turned it into art! Very easy to communicate with and our balloon arch looked fabulous-- next time I'll be sure to bring a big enough car haha read more

Please update your hours. I checked Yelp before I headed over to your store and it says closes at 6p (it's 4:15p). I get to the store and it's closed and a paper sign shows new hours. Thanks. read more

I'm not sure what has happened since I was last in, but the customer service has gone down the drain. Zero greeting, minimal response when I asked questions. Just an overall disinterest in having customers. Bought a balloon that was $22. Ended up spending $50...the helium was more expensive than the balloon and when I questioned the cost, all I got was, "well, it's a big balloon." Used to love coming here for party decor, will be looking elsewhere. read more

Such bad/sad customer service for such a cute little store. And they are always out of stock of everything.

Anyone know when this place is actually open? The hours they post obviously is not correct. I came here to try and get prices for a soon baby shower and was disappointed to know you can't just walk in. read more

If you're looking for the best balloon selection in Long Beach, look no further than at Wild Child! They have cute balloons to turn any party into the best you've ever seen. Check out their Instagram to see what I'm talking about! They're professional, approachable, and have awesome sense of style. Thanks ladies! read more

This review is mainly for their event planning service. I've followed Wild Child on Instagram for years and absolutely love their work. At the time when I was working for my boss, he was looking for some balloon decorations for his daughter's birthday. He enlisted my help to find someone. Wild Child came up first on my mind and I was so excited to finally have a reason to work with them. I called the store to ask for details and the worker there gave me an email to contact. To be honest, my boss had a flexible budget and it wasn't like he didn't have the money to spare, but both he and I know when something is too overpriced. I won't go into much detail about the pricing of what Wild Child quoted us for, but like what most reviewers on here say about their pricing, it is true. They did advise that they would only work with us if we paid a certain minimum amount and to be honest, I thought for the amount they were charging us, it wasn't a lot they were giving us. I just thought if we were going to spend this much money, we would at least get a lot balloon designs but we wouldn't. I did air my disappointment in their pricing to them and I was surprised they responded back with sort of an arrogant tone. We decided to go elsewhere and not only did we save money with another business but got more than what Wild Child would've offered us. I would say if you have a lot of money to spare for a small package such as maybe just a balloon arch, then, by all means go for it. But if you are smart with your money and want to get more bang for your buck, go somewhere else. Any small event planning business can do just as great as Wild Child or better. Their shop in Long Beach is cute though and has a lot of party favors/decor. I'd recommend visiting their store if you ever need any party supplies. read more

A lot of cute things..For a whole lotta money. I went to get a few things for my husband's impromptu bday party. I didn't feel like I got a lot but I paid a bunch. The stuff is paper-based and I like that. The less plastic the better. I also bought a bunch of balloons that were way overpriced and were already droopy five hours after I bought them. Such a bummer. Unless you're a rich house wife (the owner is Waspy as hell) or a Kardashian, you'd better skip this place. read more

Really appreciate that small shops like these still exist. Came in to get a few things for my wife's birthday and the girls in there were more than helpful. Helped me out and got me everything I needed without any up-sell. Highly recommend. read more

Great small business with products that you wouldn't be able to find in any other party supply store. The employees know their stuff and make recommendations based on what you as a customer want as well as their own experience. Can't wait to come back! read more

The store is super cute they have a lot of cute things however I did not have a good experience with a custom order. It was overpriced, and turned out to be not at all what I ordered. The owner lied to me about it and then gave me attitude when I caught her in the lie. liThey gave me a partial discount after I made a stink about it but needless to say I have trust issues and will not be returning. read more

Extremely unprofessional & snobby. They act like they invented balloons just because they have "high end" clientele. Overpriced & Over rated. read more

I came on here to do some research on this store because it's nearby but looks like I will most definitely not be going there ever. I've been trying to get a ahold of them on Instagram for quite some time now and every time there's never no reply to help me out but yet they're always posting on Instagram so I figure I come on yelp to read some reviews and of course I see a lot of poor customer service ‍‍‍ My thing is if you're gonna run a business then make sure you cater to your customers because customer service is always number one and it's what brings your customers back especially if your prices are too pricey. I'm beginning to think that they pick and choose people they want to help. if you're gonna be lagging with a shitty ass attitude to the people that's trying to support your business then maybe you should shut your damn business down very disappointed with this place and I haven't even gone here. The one star is just so I can post read more

I bought a balloon on the fourth of July and it is still floating almost two months later! Great customer service and great results!

Please don't waist your time and take heed to all the nasty reviews, they are telling the truth and attempting to save you some time by stopping. I live in the area and always adore how cute the store is lovely decorated; however, the customer service dose not match! My daughter needed some last minute balloons as she was attempting to surprise her fiancé for his birthday and was missing the balloons as the final touch. We were running a little behind and attempted to make a quick stop. As she walked in she began to ask the price for a dozen balloons? Before she could finish the question, the rude lady nastily replied "$30.00 !" Following the rude reply she walked off as if she blurted out that price because she didn't feel like blowing the balloons up. You would think she asked her to use her mouth to inflate the balloons by the look and attitude she was given! We quietly left and will never return. read more

Although their products and balloon garlands are nice, yet overpriced, customer service is greatly lacking. The stylists that work there are arrogant and make you feel like they are doing you a favor, even though their fees are outrageous for the service they provide. I probably would've felt better about the fees if they acted more professional, had better attitudes and better overall customer service. They are not worth dealing with. Will look elsewhere for future event styling and help. read more

I loved the quirky cute party selections but I felt that the customer skill sector was lacking warmth and the items were too overpriced for the amount I was buying; which was a very small bundle of party favors. I recommend checking this place out but get ready to spend some cash! read more
