Booking, Design & Installation
We recommend booking 2–4 weeks in advance for most events. For large-scale or custom installations, 4–8 weeks is ideal. However, we understand that life can be spontaneous—please contact us for last-minute availability.
Begin with our inquiry form or contact us directly. Share your inspiration, event details, and vision. Our design team will collaborate with you to create mood boards and a custom proposal, much like a couture fitting.

Pricing, Payment & Policies
Pricing depends on design complexity, size, and materials. Website orders start at $13, with custom installations averaging $2,000+. All quotes are tailored to your vision and venue.
Website and curated celebrations require upfront payment. Corporate clients may be invoiced (net 30), with payment due before delivery.
A non-refundable deposit is required to secure your date for our curated celebrations. For last-minute bookings, full payment may be required.
Deposits are non-refundable. If you need to reschedule, we’ll do our best to accommodate you within 6 months, subject to availability. Once an order is placed, we do not offer refunds after 24 hours because of the custom nature of each order. We do offer a credit in each account which expires after 12 months.
Decor Longevity & Care
Indoor installations can last 1–3 weeks; outdoor longevity depends on weather. We use only the highest-quality balloons to ensure your decor stays picture-perfect for your event. Once our team leaves the installation, balloon decor is not guaranteed and we are unable to come back to adjust anything without a fee.
Yes, but we recommend shaded or protected areas for best results. Extreme heat, wind, or rain can impact longevity and appearance.
Balloons pose a choking hazard for young children and pets. Please supervise children and dispose of popped balloons responsibly.

Environmental & Social Responsibility
We encourage responsible disposal and offer balloon removal and recycling whenever possible. Our latex balloons are biodegradable and our foil balloons are recyclable. We encourage clients to NEVER release helium balloons into the air.
Giving back is part of our ethos. Every year we choose three charitable partners to partner with to create large, impactful donations. In addition, we will work with individual causes for children; like bell ringing days. Please inquire about special rates or decor donations for qualifying organizations.
