FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
All of my balloon designs start at least of $250, which includes setup and local delivery within the DMV area. Design price increases based on complexity, and materials required, but I’m always transparent about quotes and love working with clients to bring their vision to life in creative and budget-conscious ways. If your event requires significant travel (more than 30 min commute) or requires same-day breakdown/takedown, I offer that service for an additional $150.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Most people first reach out through Thumbtack messages, where we’ll chat about your event and I’ll gather a few key details like the date, time, venue, indoor/outdoor setting, theme, colors, and any inspiration photos or budget info. Once I have the basics, I’ll follow up with a formal quote via ***** within 48 hours (or sooner if needed). I’m always happy to offer a quick free consultation—whether that’s over messages or a brief phone call—to make sure we’re aligned before moving forward. After confirming your vision, I’ll send over a color palette or a simple sketch of your design. A 50% deposit is required to book, and I recommend reaching out at least two weeks in advance. Rush jobs may incur a $150 fee depending on availability.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I’ve always loved throwing a good party—whether it’s a baby shower, bridal brunch, birthday, or dinner party. Along the way, I realized how much of a “wow factor” balloon arches can bring. They instantly elevate a space and create that extra-special, celebratory feeling. People always lit up when they saw the balloon installations I made for my own events, so I started creating them for others too. It brings me so much joy to help make someone’s event feel magical and memorable.
