Happy Parties

I have worked with happy parties over the last few years and have always been very happy. The motivational dj they sent me this time was amazing! They are always kind and helpful and send quality people.

Happy Parties is an amazing place with exceptional customer service. Both Don and Lynn seem to know exactly what you want before you do. I just recently bought my 8 month old nephew a few toys and he absolutely loves them. There prices are more than fair and they never try to sell you anything that you do not need. I will definitely be coming here for gifts for the little ones for now on!

I highly recommend Happy Parties for all occassions. Don and Lynn of Happy Parties were extremely helpful to me in planning my grandson’s 2^nd Birthday Party. They went over and beyond to assist me in providing «Bumble Bee» enterttainer for his Party, which turned out to be his favorite memory of the entire party.
The toys at Happy Parties are my grandson’s favorite. He loves to go inside and look around and will always find something terrific to pick out. Check the pictures on their website of our grandson with his seaseme street characters that he bought there!
Most of their items you cannot find elsewhere and are different and unique. And they have stuff that will take you back and remind you of your own childhood.
It’s a great place to stop by and visit. I highly recommend them for any child’s occassion. Sandy & Jim, and our grandson Dominic

Hired Happy Parties for minion character for my son’s 2^nd birthday today. Working with Don and his team was excellent and reliable throughout the whole process from the first phone call to the follow up confirmation calls. The minion arrived on time in costume and was great with the kids, bringing all needed equipment to play games and make balloon animals. The minion sang a lot of songs and made the day very enjoyable for my little guy. The kids really appreciated the photo session at the end. I was very satisfied with this excellent service and definitely recommend!

This is an adorable toy store that has some awesome toys! My son frequents the store with my inlaws as their special place. They recently bought him a fireman hat that makes noise. He LOVES the hat– and uses it daily. The batteries ran out and I tired to get them out to replace them– and couldn’t. One short visit to the store, and they happily replaced the hat for me as they couldn’t get the batteries out either.
Amazing customer service and adorable store!

OMG!
We just had the most amazing 4^th of July party and all handled and run by Lynn herself! They have been doing our parties for years and have never let us down.
We have a slew of friends and family from neighbors to movie producers and with her touch of magic they all just come together for a fabulous celebration!
If you really want someone to care and take care of you Lynn is that person! We just love her!

I hired this company for my daughters sixth birthday. They were fantastic. The character girl, which was Ariel was perfect. My daughter is Autistic. Lynn wanted her to be comfortable, and content in every aspect of the party. Nikki really thought that she was Ariel. It was one of the best days in my daughters life. Everything went so well, I was very pleased. Lynn is very professional, and so is her team. I absolutely plan to hire them again. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jodi

As Caterer I am usually the prime contractor for an event, and when I subcontract them out, I always feel confident that they will represent me well. Recently, I booked a Captain America for a 5 year old birthday party. The guy they sent was very versatile; balloon animals, magical tricks, etc. and he genuinely enjoyed the kids. Bottom line, my client was happy… so I was happy. JAH’S World Catering& Entertainment.

Little store on Ventura Blvd with lots of retro toys. Place makes me feel like a kid again. I don’t get the party in the name. I think they may book kids parties. I like the place for the metal toys. But hey, I like metal.

I had a really bad experience with a party character. The costume was in bad shape and the character was late to my party.

We recently celebrated our six-​year-​old birthday with the theme of Disney’s Ariel character. With only two weeks notice given, the were still able to provide a choice of 3 entertainers to make our birthday girls day very special.
I chose the 1.5 hour rate for 20 kids (not really knowing how many kids were going to show), at $ 250.00. The lady was a few minutes late, but not more than 15 (I think), and she stayed the full agreed upon block-​time. She provided; song, dance face-​painting, and etiquette for the little ones.
From what I understand, the kids loved it (I was too busy tending to the adults and sneaking a peak of football). But from what I observed, the kids were attached to her and didn’t want her to leave!
all-​in-​all, the kids loved it… and that’s who it was for!

«Birthday Party» wasn’t really in my mother’s vocabulary while I was growing up. I can only remember having ONE party, which was in 2^nd grade. If I recall, it went well and I received a lot of Barbie Dolls (even though I wasn’t really into Barbies but I think the mothers of the other girls assumed I was).
Walking into Happy Parties was a journey into my absent past and started to heal all the psychological effects that one is traumatized from by not having childhood birthday parties. Happy Parties wasn’t even open when I attempted to walk in but Don, whom appears to be the owner or manager; was still in the shop because the other crew was working on a party that night so since he was there, he allowed me to be there as well, even after hours!
The shop is a mixture of party favor supply and vintage toy store. The shelves are filled with standards like party board games, costumes, party favors such fake rings for the little girls and toy guns for the boys, little stuffed animals, rubber stamps, etc; which are sold individually or can be purchased in bulk for your child’s party guests. The best part, no matter what your age, is the toys that we remember from our years as a tyke: Smurfs figurines, rubber Gumby dolls, and slinkies to name a few. It is almost like being at a flea market which is always a treat!
Happy Parties doesn’t just sell party supplies or favors, it also helps plan/​run the party providing entertainment (clowns, costumed characters, and face painters), themes, and games. This will take the strain off of any stressed parent! Plus, Don announced that they are starting to run adult parties, as well.
To add the icing to the cake (I love puns), Don was kind, polite, and very cheerful. Again, he allowed me to browse even after closing hours but he also exchanged (graciously) information with my boyfriend after learning that he is an artist and would be interested in providing caricature drawing services at future parties. Don genuinely seems happy with what he does for a living (and I learned that he didn’t have birthday parties growing up, either!).
Whether you are a stressed parent needing party-​planning help or just a nutcase needing birthday party therapy like myself, Happy Parties seems to be the solution. Now let me go cry if I want to.

The response from one Don Q. (who was not involved in the situation by the way) just further proves everything I said in my original review. They are horrible at dealing with customers. Demeaning, lying, and verbally harassing a customer on a website which its sole purpose is to let the customer have a voice and state their OPINION, is rude and disrespectful. He did scream at me on the phone, did NOT offer me any sort of store credit, and was rude. I also never once said they were «props». Get your facts straight. I’m sorry that people have taken advantage of them in the past, but that doesn’t mean they can treat all customers like criminals. Also, I have every right to release my opinion online without revealing my name (it’s this little thing called free speech). You have once again as a company handled yourself inappropriately. Why don’t you spend more time learning how to deal with customers instead of verbally harassing one online?

I needed Batman characters for my son’s 4^th bday party, and amongst so many choices for that kind of service, I solely chose them in the first place based on the great customer service that Rebecca provided by always being personable and professional at the same time.
Now, the impersonator who «played» Batman, aka «Skippy», was way beyond perfect! The day before the party, I receive a friendly call from him so he could confirm what I wanted from their performance.
At the day of the party, he was there 30 minutes early to introduce himself, and again, go over the final details.
He was pretty much the leader, but Catwoman was really believable as well, (even talking with that famous accent…) and just followed his lead all the time.
They had tons of energy, and he did exactly what I had asked for, which was a pretend fight with Catwoman (which was amazing) and mentioning my son’s name quite often.
It really felt like we were watching a fight scene from a Batman movie, although I have to mention it; it didn’t hurt that they were both really good looking people as well…:)
They played many kids games, always with high energy. Even after we sang Happy Birthday «Batman» offered himself to make balloons for the kids at their table while I was serving the cake.
Really nice experience! I’ll always use them for sure! They can be a little pricey compared to other places that you find on Internet, but seriously, it’s totally worth it! A friend of mine hired magicians from Craig’s List and they looked like wondering zombies and couldn’t even get the magic right… just awful…
Anyways, moms, don’t shop around, you have found the most professional and reliable place for your kid’s birthday party!

Let me just say that this place saved my butt on a day when I needed to get balloons for a baby shower. My first choice down the street Elegant Balloons let me down; I called two hours earlier asking if they were going to be open, and then what happens when I get there? They’re CLOSED! Anyway I’m glad I had my crackberry so I could Unilocal another place closeby and this little spot popped up. Lots of interesting stuff here and whatever supplies you may need for a kid’s party or baby shower… the man was super nice too.
