Party City was founded in New Jersey in 1986. It's a party goods retailer located in the U.S.,…read moreMexico, and Canada. They have other stores under their name such as Halloween City, Toy City, Factory Card, and Party Outlet brands; there are over 850 of those stores throughout the world. Unfortunately, as of December 2024, Party City will start closing all stores in the United States. This location is in the Simsbury Commons. There were plenty of parking and the location is pretty quiet. The store was large and organized. The employee helping me was nice. I was looking for accessories for a holiday party and found it quickly. This place is great for all your party needs. There were costumes, balloons, candies, and more. It's really unfortunate that they are closing down in early 2025.

If you're having a party, any type of party and need decorations, balloons, cups, plates, banners,…read moreetc.. Party City in Simsbury is the place to go. Everything is in this store, number balloons, balloons to spell a name, a long word or a short word. Unicorn decor, Spider-Man decor, St. Patty's Day decor, Americana decor, you want it, they've got it. You just need purple cups, plates and supplies that's here too! The store has it all really! Some things are a bit overpriced. I wouldn't get all my supplies here, as it can be costly, but for some things that may be harder to find at bigger retailers, Party City is a good go to.

Customers beware ! I threw my parents a surprise 30th anniversary last weekend and had rented a…read moreportable bar from the Wolcott Party Plus for $79.99. I was dealing with a guy named Mike(possibly the manager/owner?) and we agreed that I could try to get the rental returned by either Monday or Tuesday this week, as this rental required a truck to haul it. It was clearly understood that I needed help from my friend that has a truck. Come Saturday, Mike gave me a call and the tone he conveyed was very bossy and I swear he was yelling his words like "I just wanna make sure you understand it needs to be picked up soon!" I gave him the benefit of the doubt thinking he's just a little nervous on the timing. We picked it up before 1 with no issue. During the party, the bartender I hired had used the ice storage compartment in this cheap plastic bar, and pointed out that there was a leaky water drain spickett that was faulty and kept leaking water all onto the floor. My bartender had slipped several times and even fell one time. Come Monday, I get a call from Mike yelling at me again saying I was supposed to drop it off on that day, even though he agreed by Tuesday the latest. Come Tuesday, he calls again asking when the bar is being returned. I told him my friend was able to drop it off no later than 2:30pm. I was appalled when he responded "WE CLOSE AT 2!!!" I explained to him that the timing was out of my control and that he understood I do not own a vehicle large enough to get it back before 2pm myself. I told Mike that my friend could drop it off in back, but his pissed off anxiety stricken tone didn't want to hear me out. He said "if you drop it off in back and it gets stolen overnight THATS ON YOU" and "I'm gonna need to inspect it when it does get returned to make sure there's no damage." That's when I told him that there was damage on the leaky spickett before I ever rented this POS and the problems it created at the party, particularly the hired bartender. His voice became timid after that and didn't wanna talk about it as he ended the phone call less than a minute after. To top it all off, my friend called me at 2:15pm saying that it was dropped off but nobody was there and took a picture of where he dropped off the bar in back. I never received a call or text from Mike on Wednesday, and honestly I've never had such a terribly unprofessional experience from a business like this in my entire life. Many of my friends and family couldn't believe how awful this place is and everyone I've shared my experience with agrees that this place should not be in business. I hope Mike turns to God or even Anger Management.

They have large storage facility in the back of their store for all their tables, chairs, etc. The prices of their party supplies inside the store are okay but not the best I have found when visiting in the past. This time around I ordered some tables and chairs. When I went to pick up my chairs/tables they had me drive around back to pick up my rentals. They help you load it up and have you do a final signature. Very friendly staff and they double check to make sure you have everything you ordered. The products were in all fairly good condition. The following day when I returned my rentals the two guys I spoke with were very polite and let me know that I had to finalize the return inside afterwards. Within ten minutes I was all set and on my way home.

The woman who cashed me out was professional, knowledgeable and kind. The delivery came early and was delivered by a polite sweet young woman. We realized an hour later one of the large main balloons ordered was not included. I called mostly because I expected a refund since the delivery was to Thomaston from Waterbury. I got destiny on the phone when I called in, she placed me on a brief hold and then notified me she was going to uber the balloon to my friends home. She apologized numerous times and said it would be there in half an hour. I come from a customer service background and realize mistakes happen and given the distance expected a simple sorry and we will refund you the price of the large balloon. But within half an hour hour balloon was delivered and placed in the center of the event. Thank you! Highly recommend this store to anyone.

Each year before using them I have had to clean them thoroughly before we could use them. I've rented 50 chairs at a time ( every August ) that's a lot of chairs to have to clean. Each year I rented them I've gotten some sort of reason why they were delivered not clean for use. This year I rented only 25 chairs... they were disgusting. I could see if it was an over site but it's happened for so many years, over-site turns into lies. I will not be renting ever again nor will the company I work for. This year tents unlimited was contracted for our company picnic as they are every year to set up a tent, tables and chairs This year they showed up so late we had company employees and company guest standing around waiting for the set up to even arrive... Maybe ownership has changed hands or they just don't give 2 chits anymore The response when bringing it to an employees attention was "well that's why we discounted the chairs" what? Took me hours to clean those god damn chairs, they got their chairs back clean! Like I cleaned their chairs because they are too cheap to pay someone to clean them and or too damn lazy to do it themselves. Certainly my time is worth more than a $1 a chair. I'm rip chit just thinking about it! That's a Chitty move on this company's part, putting the cleaning of their equipment on the customer before the customer gets to use it! That's like buying a brand new car and having the sales guy spill a soda on the seat and say, we've discounted the car a few dollars for the soda stain, should just wipe right off, enjoy! Your out of your god damn minds, I feel used! Never again! Lazy asses pay your staff to do their job! We will not be renting again... horrible Keep up the great work.
