A balloon artist builds arches out of balloons. Some build walls for photos.

When couples book this

About 9 months before your wedding.

Still deciding the wedding

Your wishlist

Answer these before you meet anyone.

  • Which balloon pieces are you dreaming of?

  • What colors and finish are you picturing?

  • Indoors, outdoors, or both?

Comparing your options

What to ask each one

  • Air-filled on frames, or helium?

    Air-filled frame work holds far longer and ignores ceiling height; helium floats but is a per-venue conversation.

  • Who provides frames and anchoring?

How it’s usually priced

Usually priced per arrangement.

Possible extras: Frames & anchoring rental.
