“I would recommend Party Baby Seattle to anyone and everyone that has kids and would listen. We used them for my son’s first birthday and I was a mess with the planning sadly. They went above and beyond to make sure it was a great experience from changing the set up and colors when I finally picked a theme after purchasing another set to changing times when I accidentally set the party time to a half hour earlier (ugh, I am so so sorry). And more…They adapted to each of my blunders and were so wonderful about it all realizing I was just a stressed out mom of a baby turning one.
Everyone loved the play set up and our parent friends were so impressed. They didn’t even know about Party Baby but after they were in love. I hope more of them give this wonderful business some love because I have absolutely no regrets and it was the most wonderful experience. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you for making my son’s first birthday a huge success!” – Leah
