About

Set The Mood is a San Francisco event styling and décor studio serving the Bay Area. Some companies set up decorations. We Set the Mood. We created Set The Mood with one simple mission: to make every client feel truly seen and celebrated. We focus on thoughtful details, personalized touches, and designs that feel unique to you rather than one size fits all. We create custom backdrops, balloon installations, florals, tablescapes, signage, and event details for birthdays, baby showers, weddings, corporate events, and intimate celebrations. Whether you need a simple balloon accent, a statement focal area, or styling throughout your event, we can customize the design to your space, style, and needs. Grab & Go balloon garlands start at $125, custom backdrop + balloon pickup packages start at $375, and professionally installed focal backdrop packages start at $450. Florals, tablescapes, and full event styling are custom quoted. Share your event date, location, and what you’re looking for, and we’ll recommend the best option for your celebration.

We had reached out to Set the Mood to do the backdrop balloon arch, cake pedestal and center pieces for my daughter's grad party. They did an amazing job and it was at a very short notice as well. Thank you so much for making the day special. Right from contacting her to the day of the event and wrap up, everything was so smooth and well coordinated.

Details: Special event / party • 26 - 50 guests • 18 - 30 years old • Balloon arches • Balloon backdrop • Indoors • My home, venue, etc.

Thank you so much, Vinod! We really appreciate your kind words and the opportunity to be part of your daughter’s graduation celebration. It was a pleasure bringing everything together, especially on such short notice. So happy you loved the final setup!

Sarith was AMAZING to work with. I could not believe how much she fully understood my vision from a few photos and was able to execute it to a tee. She also is the first balloon artist I’ve worked with whose work held up without being a serious issue with the wind in a playground in San Francisco. Everyone thought I used an event planner bc of how beautiful my decor was, thanks to Set the Mood. Will OBVIOUSLY use them again. Thank you

Details: Birthday party • 26 - 50 guests • 12 years old or younger • Balloon structures • Outdoors • My home, venue, etc.

Sarith and Set The Mood did a great job with my department's Commencement decorations! Sarith was very responsive and asked a lot of good questions to make sure we were on the same page. We booked on short notice (Wed for a Sun event). The team arrived about 30 min late, but made up time and our event went off without a hitch. They even ran out to get replacement balloons when some of the ones they brought were too tall for our space. We got lots of compliments on the decorations, and even some professional photographers passing by used the outside balloons as a backdrop to their photos.

Details: School event • 51 - 100 guests • 12 years old or younger • 18 - 30 years old • 31 - 50 years old • 51 or older • 13 - 17 years old • Balloon columns • Balloon centerpieces • Indoors • My home, venue, etc. • At the pro’s location
