J&R Party

This place was recommended to me by a colleague, she knows the family. I like to support local businesses and these folks seemed like they would have what I needed. I bought a piñata for my sons birthday party the other day and they had some much selections. They even make a custom piñata for you! The husband and wife were very friendly and everything was so organized. Parking was a little hectic but that’s LA parking in general. I’d reccomend this place to anyone who’s having a party and needs all their supplies. !

This place is amazing. I ordered a custom pilgrim piniata for a party. I was surprised at his good it came out. I will be coming back here for all my future piniata needs.

Walked in looking for a cat piñata for cat-​themed 6 year old birthday part. No cats to be found. Rosalie the owner said she could make one custom for us (hurray!) She took down our order and we paid $ 29. Came back a few days later and was greeted by Rosalie and a beautiful, hand-​crafted cat piñata! Could not have imagined a more perfect cat. :)

I recently called this location to receive a quote for table, chair, and balloon rentals including delivery. Woman on the phone was very short and rude when I questioned prices. Could have had a new loyal customer since I’m new to the area and will need multiple rentals throughout the year.
If you need rentals you should contact BR Party rentals =). They have better pricing, friendly customer service and are not rude when you ask for a quote.

Helpful. Nice people. Talented at what they do.

The people that work here are very RUDE! I came here on a Sunday to fill balloons with helium. Not only were their prices over priced but their service is awful. Please do not come here. Go to lupitas! Cheaper prices and great service. Two of my balloons popped and they didn’t care. Go somewhere else!

I really wanted to love this shop. The piñatas are cool. The man is nice until he screws up your order. I ordered balloons to be ready by a certain time for an after school party. I show up on time and he forgot. I am stressed thinking I won’t be ready for the kids coming and ask for a refund. He starts yelling for his wife saying «no, no give me ten minutes.» I reply I don’t have ten minutes. He yells at his wife more. He said «I don’t need ten minutes give me five.» I say please can I have a refund? His wife tells him to give me the refund. He pretends to be friendly, hands me my cash and tells me «next time because I am nice to you, you will wait ten minutes.» I ignore him and get in my car. As I’m buckling Im thinking I can’t believe I paid that much for balloons. He comes out, I roll down my window, certain he over paid me and needs his money back and then he sticks his head in my car and tells me, «You will wait next time, you don’t ever do this again.» I’m appalled and tell him I’m calling 911 and he leaves. Incredibly gross trying to intimidate a woman. There are too many party stores in Highland Park to recommend him.

The people at J & R Party are great! Very friendly and helpful. We needed a piñata for my daughter’s birthday and they had plenty on hand to choose from. The custom pinatas I saw there were awesome. The man running the shop made my daughter feel special about her big day and even sent her out the door with a ballon.
We will definitely be coming here the next time we need party supplies! Highly recommended.

Not.
J&R people are polite, but inflexible and unrealistic. I had easy assignment: just rent a single 6-​foot table for a party at my place, which is very near their store. I offered to come pick it up; they said no. They said they’d rent table for $ 9 — 50 percent more than other nearby places — AND they would insist on delivery — another $ 25. I told them I have a pickup truck, live just a few blocks away, can pick it up myself and, besides, I can buy a new table for what they’d rent/​deliver an old one. Didn’t matter, they said, take it or leave it, in a nutshell. They were polite, yet completely unreasonable.
So screw them, I’ll rent or buy elsewhere.

NICEST.PEOPLE.EVER.
I came in for a smallish piñata for my niece and was super happy with the one I selected. They don’t have a ton of options in the store but they do custom pinatas. I looked some pics of their work here on Unilocal and they are crazy good.
I will definitely try and do a custom piñata here and have already told like 5 people to come here.

BEST. PINATA. EVER. Jesse, the owner makes custom pinatas, and I found his business – where his wife, son and daughter also work – thanks to my brother and sister Unilocalers. Jesse made an amazing unicorn piñata for our party – customizing it with a larger horn and using the colors we specified. Best of all it was bigger, cuter and sturdier that the mass-​made ones at a certain chain party store, for the same price. We also rented chairs from him which he delivered and picked up on time, and he and his son did the delivery and set up for a nominal fee. Soooo simple and easy. Plus they have piñata breaking kits (string for hanging, bandana and ribbon wrapped stick you can coordinate with your piñata.
The pinatas are SUPER sturdy, designed to be whacked repeatedly, will hold a lot of goodies, and easy to stuff. I looked through Jesse’s piñata book and he has done everything from Frieda Kahlo+Diego Rivera for a wedding to Michael Jackson, company logos, electric and acoustic guitars as well as more traditional images like numbers, baseballs, and animals. He is a true craftsman and a real gentleman to boot. Bring in a picture and he’ll make it.
It’s great to find a local family business for pinatas and rentals (they have tables, a large selection of chairs, fabric table cloths, plus heat lamps, bouncy houses, and more). Plus they have parking and are open 8am-​8pm.
I will be going back to J&R Party rentals!

I recently had a party for 50+, store owner Jesus and his family were extremely courteous and professional. All items rented were well priced, arrived clean, in great condition and for a small fee everything was delivered and picked up on time.

J&R Party Supply has all your normal party supply goods and is one of many party supply places on York Blvd. At first glance, it looks like your typical party supply place but one of the owners is a truly gifted piñata maker! Give her a picture of just about anything and she can make a custom made piñata for a very reasonable price! She made a tank piñata for my son’s 5^th birthday party. We looked at images on the web and printed a photo and whula in a week we had a beautifully made custom piñata. The owner even called us to remind us to pick up the piñata! Awesome service!

They have great friendly staff and very convenient hours of operation! I got a great deal myself:)

I rented some tables, chairs, and a heater for my 2010 Thanksgiving Extravaganza Of Awesomeness. The prices were very reasonable and the staff at the store was very helpful. The delivery people arrived on time and were very helpful in setting up. I didn’t even ask them to set up and I wasn’t charged extra. Go with this family run company for your next party.
