I have just used Party Buds for my daughter's 5th birthday party. They did an amazing display of floral balloons, tabletop, wall hanging and free standing, a huge number 5 balloon and a large amount of guest balloons on a really small budget.
The Hemel team arrived early at the hall and got on with the job in the hand and were gone before the guests arrived. The service provided was excellent as was the consultation carried out pre party. My daughter was very happy, the magician and the guests all thought the display was outstanding with a number of parents noting down the Pary Buds number. If you want balloons this is the company to use.

IT WAS A REAL PLEASURE TO DEAL WITH SUCH CARING & DEDICATED PROFESSIONALS AS SUE & PAUL. I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE PERSONAL SERVICE AND THE GENEROUS TIME GIVEN BY SUE & PAUL TO GET THE RIGHT IDEAS FOR MY PARTY, EVEN THOUGH THE TOTAL ORDER VALUE WAS NOT PARTICULARLY LARGE - THEY EVEN ORDERED IN BALLOONS ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I PREFERRED THE PATTERN ON THEM - WHAT SERVICE!
I WAS ABSOLUTELY THRILLED WITH THE MULTICOLOURED TABLE TOP TREES (NOTE TO SUE & PAUL: I DO HOPE YOU PHOTOGRAPHED THESE FOR YOUR PORTFOLIO AS I PERSONALLY THINK THEY LOOK EVEN BETTER THAN SINGLE COLOURED TREES!). EVERYONE LOVED THEM! THE TABLE BALLOONS WERE FAB TOO - THE BRIGHT MIX OF COLOURS WAS PERFECT FOR OUR SUMMER PARTY AND EVERYONE THOUGHT THEY LOOKED STUNNING!
THE PARTY BUDS TEAM OBVIOUSLY WORKED TREMENDOUSLY HARD TO PRODUCE A WONDERFUL BALLOON DISPLAY FOR US PLUS THEY DELIVERED THE ORDER FREE OF CHARGE. NOT ONLY THIS BUT SUE & PAUL ALSO OFFERED TO MAKE THE DELIVERY AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THE START OF OUR PARTY TO MAKE SURE THE BALLOONS STAYED BUOYANT FOR THE DURATION OF THE EVENING! WHAT EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE IS THAT?! (NB THEY’RE STILL FULLY INFLATED 24 HOURS LATER! - THE BALLOONS THAT IS, NOT SUE & PAUL…). INCIDENTALLY, ANOTHER LOCAL SUPPLIER I APPROACHED NOT ONLY MADE A CHARGE FOR DELIVERY BUT WOULD ONLY DELIVER BEFORE LUNCHTIME ON SATURDAY – A FULL 7 HOURS BEFORE THE PARTY STARTED! PLUS THEY WERE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN PARTY BUDS AND NOWHERE NEAR AS HELPFUL, CREATIVE AND PLEASANT TO DEAL WITH !!)
THE EXCELLENT PERSONAL SERVICE AND THE QUALITY OF SUE & PAUL’S PRODUCT IS SECOND TO NONE AND THEY FULLY DESERVE THEIR SUCCESS ! WE SHALL CERTAINLY USE THEM NEXT TIME WE NEED PARTY BALLOONS AND WILL BE SINGING THEIR PRAISES WHENEVER WE CAN! A HUGE THANK YOU TO SUE, PAUL & THE REST OF THE TEAM!

We used party buds, for our wedding recently.
From start to finish this team was amazing, not only were their balloons exceptional...but they helped me in so many other ways too!
The comments from the guests have been extremely positive, all saying how fantastic the balloons were, and how they really made the whole day that extra bit special!
The girls visited the venue with me on more then one occassion making sure they had every choice down to the smallest detail.
on the day, while I was running around, having my hair done and chasing the bridesmaids, the party bud girls were at the hotel, putting their beautiful balloons in place, even making sure that the hotel staff were getting everything right at the same time!
party buds THANK YOU for:
a fantastic team!
the most amazing balloon designs!
your friendly nature and support!
and a big thankyou for making my big day
so special!

We used Party buds to do a unique gift at christmas for my friends dinner party. The colours and designs were amazing and worked so well with the decor in the dining room. I would definitely use them again, they were very professional people. I would definitely recommend them to anyone that is thinking of having an event, as they are able to create works of art for any kind of occasion, the colours that are available to them are endless and the designs are spectacular, I didnt know you could do so much with a balloon. Their commitment to customer requirements and satisfaction was outstanding.
Why do you only have a rating of 5 when I would want to give them 10.

Our family used Party Buds to create a memorable display at the Bill Thorne Memorial Bowls day at Harperbury Bowls Club in September 2007. This included unique & original table displays of bowls woods, designed by Party Buds themselves; also a big wall of balloons that spelt out ‘Bill Thorne’ between a pair of 8ft Palm trees. The team also decorated the clubhouse with balloons & created a balloon arch at the club entrance.
Our family were delighted with the effect, as were the competitors & other guests. We would be pleased to recommend Party Buds to anyone planning a special event.

Isabel Hospice used Party Buds for the first time at our Family Walk in Ware. The children loved the amazing display of balloons that they put together and were delighted with the balloons that they had to take home. Party Buds were efficient and extremely reliable; we will definitely be using their services again at several of our other events.
