Deflated number 2 balloon 1 hour after picking up.
Jessica M.

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.

5k minimum on "Event Styling"

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.

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!

Ballon arch when it was delivered. Huge! I kept them inside for about 24-36 hrs as I had planned to hang them outside for the party.

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.

8ft balloon garland
Brianne F.

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.

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!

Absolutely STUNNING in here. Very reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland, lots of cute and quirky…read moretrinkets throughout. Elena was the only person working but she made sure our experience was great and checked in on us often :) Elena started off by bringing us our teas + cream and sugar. It was followed by a lovely warm scone (10/10!) with Devonshire cream and a berry jam , a nice simple salad, and then our assortment of sandwiches + desserts! I got the chocolate chai, very nice aromatics and spices coming through with some notes of chocolate at the end. The scone was honestly my favorite thing along with the jam and the cake pop! This is only my second high tea experience but I loved the decor, the ambience and the food. I would definitely recommend to a friend looking for this kind of experience.

Went for my sister's birthday, she wanted to share some tea time with my daughter and we loved it!…read more It's so cute, the service was amazing and the tea was delicious. We were never rushed, and even completed the cute list of things to find around the room. It is not cheap, but all the high teas I looked at were about the same price or more. The sandwiches were good and we had all the pastries listed and plenty of fruit. We enjoyed it so much we decided to book it for my daughter's birthday! I got a call from Elena and she was so awesome and excited to have us for the birthday. We are looking forward to the wonderful celebration!

I had such a wonderful experience working with The Simple Luxe for my son's first birthday party…read morethat was farmers market themed! From start to finish they were incredibly easy to communicate with- responsive, attentive, and truly listened to what I wanted. Lisa and her team brought my vision to life, and it was even better than I imagined. What really stood out was their willingness to work within our budget without compromising on quality or creativity. They not only designed and set up all the balloons, backdrops, installations but they also spent extra time helping me decorate and design the farmers market with the custom gifts I made and/or purchased for my guests. The entire process felt stress-free and enjoyable. Everything turned out beautifully and we received so many compliments. I am truly honored to be The Simple Luxe's first farmers market themed client and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and kind vendor who goes above and beyond. If you have been following them on social media like I was and have an upcoming event - reach out to them and get a quote! You will not be disappointed!

We had an amazing experience with The Simple Luxe for our daughter's first birthday wildflower…read moretheme. Their designer, Lisa, truly brought our vision to life. We also wanted to include our late dog in the design, and she incorporated him so beautifully. Seeing the attention to detail in their previous work is what convinced us to move forward, and all of our guests were blown away by how everything turned out. Jasmine was also a pleasure to work with. She was very communicative, easy to talk to, and made the entire process stress-free from start to finish. She really listened to our ideas, gave us time to make decisions, and helped us stay within our budget. Huge thanks to the setup and cleanup team as well. They were punctual and respectful of the time we had the venue booked. My wife and I would definitely recommend The Simple Luxe to anyone (if it's within your budget). Their hard work and dedication to their clients truly shows in their work.

We have nothing but incredible things to say about working with Julia Truong for our 2022 summer…read morewedding. From the very beginning, Julia emphasized people and relationships guided her passion for planning. She lived up to those words, and more. We approached Julia the winter of 2021, recently after our engagement. Our initial call was so informative - she helped us understand what we wanted in a wedding, when we could potentially have it , and a general overview of what her services entail. At the end of the meeting, we already trusted Julia's immense knowledge and expertise, and made her our full time planner and coordinator. Every week, Julia met us with a high level of professionalism and urgency to keep our dream wedding on the right track. She easily navigated difficult conversations about budget, timeline, expenses, etc. Ultimately, she was able to keep us calm amidst some of the most stressful initial decisions like venue, date, and guest list. Our wedding of 220 people at Wayfarers Chapel and The South Coast Botanic Garden was a dream because of Julia. As the bride, I never once worried that things would go astray because Julia was always three steps ahead, meticulously planning every detail. Some of Julia's key offerings: - Point of contact for all vendors in the planning process and on the day of the wedding (project management) - Vendor negotiation - Presented high quality vendors and allowed us to pick and choose who we wanted to work with - Weekly, highly efficient meetings to keep her clients on track She was even able to handle a last minute vendor cancellation, and found another incredible vendor to honor our old contract. Julia is kind, patient, and a stand-out talent in her field. We 1000% recommend her for any of your upcoming wedding needs!

Our wedding was on October 30th, 2021 and had around 75 guests. Julia was there from start to…read morefinish (she helped plan the engagement too!), and we could not have wished for anyone better to get the job done! From the very beginning, Julia was extremely communicative and easy going. We would talk about wedding details over Zoom and meet up at Ikea to go wedding decor shopping. Whenever we had questions, she answered right away and this was on top of working a full time job and taking care of her cute doggo (hi Augie!). She's like a seasoned professional despite just starting her business. She knows what needs to be done and exactly when to do it. She told us she would handle the tough conversations with venue pricing, inquiring, negotiation, and landed us our dreeeaaam venue. Like, guys, what more can you ask for?? Did I mention that she was part of our wedding party? On the day of our wedding, she was both bridesmaid and coordinator. That being said, our day went as smooth as could be. Every scheduled event was perfectly on time and both me and my wife didn't have to worry about a thing. You can tell she cares deeply for her clients/friends and she will go above and beyond to make your special day a day you will remember for the rest of your life. At the end of it all, we are more than happy with how our day turned out, with the whole experience, and loved celebrating with Julia at our wedding. FYI - She was doing this solo and did such a great job. Now that she has a team behind her, I'm pretty sure they can pull off just about anything!
