Are there additional costs I should know about?
Our quoted prices are comprehensive and include design consultation, materials, and setup (for onsite installations). Additional costs may apply for rush orders during peak season, travel beyond our standard service area, or outdoor setup in a public park that involves considerable amount of walking or special requests like partnering with floral companies or prop rentals for unique designs.
How far in advance should I book?
Typical turnaround is 1-2 weeks from initial consultation to event delivery. However, during our busiest months (June for graduations, October-November for fall events), we recommend booking at least 3-4 weeks in advance to ensure availability and allow time for custom design work.
What’s your busiest season?
Our peak booking months are: - June: Graduations and end-of-school celebrations - October: Fall birthdays and Thanksgiving events - November & December: Holiday parties and celebrations
If your event falls during these months, book early to secure your preferred date!
Can you accommodate last-minute requests?
We’ll always do our best to help! While our typical turnaround is 1-2 weeks, contact us even if your event is coming up soon. Depending on our current schedule and the complexity of your design, we may be able to accommodate rush orders. Keep in mind that rush requests during peak season may have limited availability.

Yes! Custom graphics are one of our signature offerings. We can create personalized messages, incorporate photos, match brand logos (for corporate events), or design themed graphics that perfectly complement your celebration. This is included in our backdrop packages.
What if my event is outdoors?
We love outdoor celebrations, but always have an indoor backup plan! Weather can damage balloons and decorations—wind, rain, and extreme temperatures affect balloon longevity. If you’re planning an outdoor event in Ontario, we’ll discuss weather-resistant options and recommend having a tent or indoor space available as a backup.
How long do balloon decorations last?
For indoor environment, air-filled balloons (used in most installations) typically last 1-2 weeks. Standard size helium balloons last 3-5 days with gel treatment. We design all decorations to look perfect for your event day. For multi-day events, we can discuss options to maximize longevity.
Do you offer delivery without installation?
Yes! If you’d like delivery to your venue but want to handle setup yourself, we can arrange delivery for an additional fee. This is a great middle-ground option if you want the convenience of delivery but have specific timing needs or enjoy the setup process.
