We provide a walk in retail shop for the public showing all of our exciting and interesting products that we sell. We also deliver beautiful balloons bouquets for people who have wonderful taste and appreciate good service.

Meet the Team
Hi I am Paul and with my wife Jane we own and operate "The Party Hut". I am also in charge of your web viewing experience so e-mail me if you want some improvements sales@partyhut.com.au Also I am the only kind of my gender at work so by default I am the climb tall and dangerous ladders man. I am the hang from your toes rigging man, I am the "Paul can you empty this big heavy bin it's to heavy for a normal person, man". Yep, I get roughed around by the women but I bring skills to the table that they can only wish for. I can operate this web page and make the photos of the girls look really bad if they give me too much cheek. You will see by obvious example the guilty parties below. I enjoy the challenge of running a small business and love the sourcing of new and exciting products. Above all I am totally committed to great customer service. And thats no joke. Come and see for yourself.
Jane: Well this is the ice lady. Jane brings a cool head and tranquility to our chaos. She is the boss but you wouldn't know it. She is a mother of 3 kids and therefore has the ability to multi-task like no male could even dream of. She is a registered Psychologist and this is obviously helpful when dealing with a large percentage of our customers and every single one of our very deeply troubled, Party Hut team. Jane loves numbers and sleeps with her calculator. She especially loves to hear the cash register going "ding" so help her out and come in and say hello to her. Maybe you could buy some things so she can get out her calculator and balance the till. Jane is interested in the ongoing development of our products and services with particular analysis going to our balloon designs and gift deliveries. She is a C.B.A (Certified Balloon Artist) which means she has been tested and achieved a high degree of competency and experience to the set out industry standards. Please don't be shy, give Jane a call. P.S. Jane is in one of our hire costumes for this picture... I think she looks pretty hot as a 1960's blonde !
Janette always delivers a very high standard of service. Janette is a Floral Artist and the same principals of floral design apply to our party industry.

Karen is our resident ex-florist who successfully ran her own florist business for many years. This demanding environment has crafted a wonderful and very capable lady. Karen has an eye for detail and a cool head under pressure. She loves structure and order in her workplace and tidiness is her passion. This being a trait not so keenly shared by some of her other team members. This cleaning compulsion works well for our team dynamics. We make the mess, she cleans it up. Luckily for Karen help is at hand with her cleaning obsession. Jane our resident psychologist is rumoured to be helping her with some counselling sessions. Karen has experience that only time brings and we are proud to have her in our business. She is efficient and capable in every facet of The Party Hut. Karen is also is a C.B.A (Certified Balloon Artist) and we think she is tops.
Janel is so squeaky clean it makes you sick. She is punctual, efficient, accurate, gets back to customers when she says she will, works hard, doesn’t swear, doesn’t sweat, doesn’t panic, brings in homemade biscuits for smoko, makes common sense suggestions, is informed on world events, is impeccably dressed at all times and wonderful with customers. Ahhhhhhhhh, enough!!!!. I know you think this must be a lie and that no such person could ever exist. It’s sad but it is true. Come in and see her for yourself. 
Kerry has a background in hair dressing in which she has won many awards including a prestigious Best in Queensland for: Modern/Funky hairstyle. She is now excited to be able to turn her creative energy to the Party industry with particular interest in the use of balloons as a decorating medium. Kerry is computer challenged (meaning she doesn't have a clue about them) but she is good at a lot of other things like hairdressing and um, I'm thinking, um, well I'll get back to you on the other things she's good at another time, maybe. Anyway the other day she cut my hair and since then mothers look at me suspiciously and hold their children close to them when I walk by. Figure that out? One thing that binds all of us together at the Party Hut is that we truly believe in great customer service. Kerry comes to us with that philosophy and what more can you ask for. 
Introducing Julie. You won't recognise her from this picture but she lost a bet and had to get dressed up in our clown gear for a day. (Slight improvement anyway if you ask me) Julie has been working in Toowoomba for as long as I can remember and has managed some pretty big businesses. Why she want's to work here beats me but we are glad she has come. She's quick, she's enthusiastic and she would love to help you make the best celebration ever! 
I'm happy to say here is Anna dressed up in a Party Hut hire costume as a witch but she's not really a witch, well not at work anyway. You'd have to ask her husband what she's like at home. Anna is our new secret weapon. Anna loves to dress up and some days we don't even recognise her ourselves. We have snuck her in here after poaching her from the health care industry and she is awesome. As well as being a great person to have in our team she can also give you needles. How cool is that? Although when she does get out her needles we keep her well away from our 196 different colored high quality decorator balloons. Come and see all these colors for yourself. Also when you come in please don't call Anna a witch. (not to her face anyway) also she doesn't have pink hair. 
Meet Millie. She is a real good kid! So good that we gave her a job. Also her mum works here and we are scared of her mum so we couldn't say, NO! Anyway she works on weekends and uses the money to pay for her huge board that her mother charges her. We feel for you Millie
Sally is another bloody hairdresser. She's just a newby here... so if you are going to pull the wool over her eyes.....now is the time to do it. Although it's early days, I can tell she is going to work out just great! So when i get some dirt on her ...(and i will)....it will be typed here A.S.A.P. Also i don't have a picture of her yet so i just did this really good likeness in photoshop. I'm so talented! News just in. We are proud to announce Sally has had a baby. ( I didn't even know she was pregnant) Our camera is on the blink so i have done an artisitic representation of the little ankle bighter. Again...I'm so talented.
