Balloon Decorators - Why You Need One...

The pros and cons of DIY balloons versus using a professional balloon decorator,  So, you're planning a special event, maybe a wedding reception or a birthday party, and you want to incorporate balloons in some way.  In this blog, we are going to let you know WHY you should hire a professional balloon decorator rather than doing it yourself or getting someone unqualified in to cut costs.

Hiring one of our professionals allows you to completely relax and enjoy every bit of the party, without feeling the pressure.  With that said, you may still be having doubts as to whether you need to hire a specialist for your next party, so here are some more reasons to give us a try:

1.  You will be to busy dealing with other things on the party day.

It's impossible and stressful trying to be sociable with everyone at your party anyway, making sure all your guests are entertained and keeping an eye on the kids/animals/drunk friends to make sure they stay out of trouble, without the added stress of trying to organise balloon arches, and balloon walls! Creative decorations will take all  of that stress away, we've got you covered.

2.  Disposable canisters never expel the full amount stated...

True story!  We get loads of last minute calls from people who use  disposable canisters and quickly realise it's not enough for the required number of balloons they need.  We have also had panic phone calls from mums and dads who have spent the whole night before their child's party filling up heaps of balloons, only to find by the morning, the balloons are on the floor!

There is also a problem on disposing of these canisters after your party, some of your local recycling companies will not take them as they are very difficult to dispose of.  (Here are some peoples own review on the problems  they have tried to dispose of these disposable canisters)  

1. Hiring a professional balloon decorator means that the set up for parties/weddings/events will be done on the day and your balloons will still be floating for your party. Win!
   
2. All our helium canisters are the refillable canisters which we take to our wholesaler and get them refilled.

3.  You were just going to ask one of your friends or family to take care of the balloons

Firstly they're guests and are probably keen to have fun too. Secondly, are you sure that you want to risk having a potential disaster with the balloons just to save a few quid?  Online doesn't always save you money.

Especially if you have to end up doing it twice.  Cheap foil balloons online don't always float and small foil balloons are not suitable for helium so will also not float!

We used to offer a balloon filling service but do not anymore.  Why?  Because of the amount of bad quality balloons we were being asked to fill.  Most were not suitable for helium and would never last the duration of an event.
​

Remember cheap is not always best...

Latex balloons are readily available in shops, supermarkets and of course on Ebay and other online shops.. Balloons are fairly cheap to buy so many people do this and then they realise that they need to now purchase helium, ribbon and also the balloon weights.  This is where the price will start to go up as helium is the most expensive part of the balloon decor.

Here's a few points to remember when hiring us as your balloon decorator:

1. Professional balloon decorators are all fully trained and insured
2. We do the job for you, allowing you more time to get ready for your event
3. We use digital inflators which size each balloon perfectly
4. Tie the ribbon through the neck of the balloons so there is no big knot to be seen 
5. When cluster we will measure the distance between each balloon so that all sets match
6. We use only the Best QUALITY balloons and they will last the duration of your event and beyond!
7. All our balloons are treated with a h-float substance which give them the extra float time that they need.
8. Delivery and set up is usually available and any balloons that burst while being transported  or set up will be replaced free of charge.
9. Our balloon decorators spend time perfecting their art on professional courses and you can find on ear you on eight of the main trade bodies - BAPIA of which we are a member or NABAS. 
10. You will not be just buying a few cheap balloons but that you will be supporting someone that has invested in a lot of time, money and effort into building a local balloon business.
