Balloon Dude is an absolute pleasure to work with! Jim and Robyn are highly creative, always responsive, and incredibly reliable partners for our Kent State alumni events. Their installations are prompt, beautifully executed, and priced very reasonably. Theyre courteous, helpful, and consistently go above and beyond to make our events shine. We truly value our partnership with Balloon Dude and highly recommend them to anyone looking for stunning balloon designs and exceptional service!

I had such a great experience with the balloon dude! Fair prices in my opinion and I would not hesitate to work with them again. I was very stressed about the timing at my venue (only had an hour to set up) and I wasnt sure if they would be able to get it set up in this time frame. They put me at ease that it would be okay and it was! They let me drop off my backdrop stands the night before which I think saved time as well. I had more stressful vendors that day and I can 1000% say the balloon dude was the least stressful vendor I worked with that day and I would hire them again! Professional and beautiful job. *balloons in baby letter boxes were by me not the balloon dude, the balloon dude only did the backdrop balloons*

Balloon Dude did and excellent job and was great to work with. The only complaint I have was days before the event it was a little hard to get in contact with them. I was a little worried about them showing up because I didn’t get a confirmation email and when I called there seem to be a misunderstanding about the cost of the reveal and Robin who I had spoken with earlier was able to respond and return my calls and messages. However, everything turned out beautiful, and it turned out great.
Details: Special event / party • 26 - 50 guests • 31 - 50 years old • Balloon columns • Balloon arches • Balloon backdrop • Indoors • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

The Balloon Dude is more like the Balloon Hero! Don't do like I did and text them at the last minute with a delivery order, but that's what this was and the outcome was an absolute treat! They made it so easy and I'll definitely be a repeat customer
