This review is well overdue for Balloon Works by Mary R. Such an amazing woman-owned business in…read morethe East Bay, set to help execute your event needs with the most precise details and design. Balloons are just one piece of the overall execution Mary can do! We've worked now with Mary for a few personal life events from baby shower, to birthday, to now a recent family retirement party. Mary understands the vision and importance of each and every special moment, and offers valuable suggestions and insight for your special day. She's a gem in the industry, and we're so happy our paths crossed because her work is consistently amazing. Mary is innovative, talented at her craft, and understands what each and every event needs in order to not only be successful, but flow with ease. The additional touches are what sets her apart from others. For example, we didn't have picture frames but had several pictures printed for a recent retirement party for my dad..she used corks to prop the pictures up table-side and that small and unique touch was such a conversation starter during speeches/dinner with our party guests, and added such a cool element to the overall tablescape. (My dad was in the wine industry) Looking forward to future kiddo parties with Mary!

Texted several more times when I got there. Waited around and texted some more. Finally, they texted me back after I was long gone. I had already reserved glasses, chairs, tables, and linens to rent with this company and wanted to look over the wine glasses to make sure they were nice. The owner or whoever never showed up. According the to the hours posted, they were supposed to be open but no one was there. Luckily I called 4 Seasons Party Rentals and he was able to see me right away and did a great job for our 16-person lunch that raised $125,000. DO NOT use this business for party rentals. at almost $8,000 per person raised, it's not worth taking any chances. We need these donors and these donors need tables and chairs to actually show up. They could have completely ruined this important events. If you can't trust them to show up to a meeting, how can you trust them with your special event.

And the team was able to accommodate a delivery to a hotel in Napa while working with their front desk team to get the balloons into the right room.

We rented her arched backdrops and she created a balloon arch over the backdrops. Since these decorations were for our wedding after party, we were obviously very busy at our actual wedding, and could not be there when she was setting up. However, she worked seamlessly with our wedding planner and the venue to coordinate the set up/breakdown of the decorations and she was super flexible with the timing. Walking into the after party room was such a wonderful delight - the decorations looked amazing and exactly matched the vision we hoped for! Thank you Party Babe Rentals for making our wedding day perfect!

Everyone talked about how cool the play area was and the kids went HAM on that thing. We got the 11x11 size with the teddy bounce house and it comfortably fit 3 kids around the age of 1 and 3 more kids around the age of 3 and 4. So imagine 6 kids total, 3 of which are whizzing around this play area at the speed of light and 3 of which who are still learning how to walk and move at the speed of a turtle. Everyone had such a great time! Just book your rental, you won't be sorry!
