4 Reasons corporate event teams trust us with their decor

I'm Ready to Plan My Event

‍Executive assistants, office managers, and marketers use this call to get decor handled without adding more to their plate.

Reason 1: Built for corporate, not kids’ parties

Most balloon decorators spend 90% of their time on birthdays and baby showers. Our team is reversed. 90% of the time we live in the world of brand approvals, COIs/W‑9s, venue rules, and “this can’t look cheesy.” Your launch looks elevated and on‑brand, not like a kids’ party.

Reason 2: Brand-safe, executive approved balloon installs

All eyes are on you. If the decor feels off-brand on event day, you’re the one your boss talks to. Our team is trained to protect your brand guidelines: colors, logo usage, and tone. Whether it’s a product launch, client event, or internal celebration, the décor feels like an extension of your brand, not a random add‑on you have to apologize for.

Reason 3: Fast, proactive communication

You have too much on your plate to worry about slow responses or vendor ghosting. We respond quickly and send check‑ins at key milestones like booking, design approval, venue coordination, and install. You’ll never have to chase us or wonder what’s happening.

Reason 4: On-time and dialed-in balloon arches

Our corporate install team arrives on time (or early) and doesn’t leave until your balloon arch and photo moments look the way you want them to. We know your reputation is on the line, so we’d rather stay a bit longer to tweak details than have you feel “meh” about the photos.

Hundreds of corporate event coordinators just like you trust us when their reputation is on the line.

“After a solid search of looking for a balloon artist, the Balloon Artisan team took it to the next level. Not only did they capture our vision better than expected, but they provided customer service like I’ve never seen before. Their communication was top tier. If you’re considering them for your next event, this is your sign to do it!! It will take it the next level, I promise.”

FAQ's about our Grand Opening Balloon Arches, Balloon Garlands and Balloon Columns

Got questions? We’ve got answers (and balloons).

Is ordering a grand opening balloon arch from Balloon Artisan expensive?

There is always someone who will do it cheaper.

The meme says it all...

The short answer: We’re not the cheapest option.

Most balloon decorators are solo operators doing a few jobs a month and they specialize in birthdays and baby showers. There’s nothing wrong with that at all, it’s just a different model.

We chose to build something else:

• A full‑time team that specializes in corporate events and grand openings.
‍• 1:1 design support, fast communication, and proactive updates so you don’t have to chase us.
• Professional install crews who show up early, handle venue requirements, and don’t leave until it looks right.
• That level of reliability and service costs more than a part‑time decorator, and our pricing reflects that.

If you’re simply looking for the lowest price on “some balloons,” we’re probably not the right fit.
‍
If you need your grand opening to look on‑brand, photograph well, and be handled with as little stress as possible, we’re built for that.

How do I order my balloon arch, balloon garland and balloon columns for my grand opening and ribbon cutting?

We keep it simple. One quick call, then it’s off your plate.

Step 1: Share your event details
Click here to complete your Event Details Form with your date, location, and a couple photos of your storefront or space. If some details are still in motion, that’s okay, we just need a starting point.

Step 2: 10‑minute call with your design strategist
We pair you with a 1:1 design strategist who looks at your space, listens to what you’re trying to accomplish, and recommends grand opening designs (arches, garlands, columns, backdrops) that fit your brand and budget.

Step 3: Approve the plan and relax
We send a clear proposal. Once you approve it, your job is basically done.

Behind the scenes we:

• Lock in your install window
• Coordinate any venue requirements
• Send proactive check‑ins so you’re never wondering what’s happening
• Show up early on event day and don’t leave until everything looks exactly how you want
• That’s it. Easy, clear, and low‑stress.

If you’re ready to start, fill out the Event Details Form form and we’ll take it from there.

Can I get my Company's Logo on my grand opening balloon arch, balloon garland and balloon columns?

Yes. We do logo‑integrated designs all the time. We can print your logo on balloons, column toppers, and backdrops so your brand is front and center in every photo

Do you work with my venue on requirements (permits, compliance, COI, etc.)?

Yes, our goal is to take as much work off of your plate as possible. We’re used to working with venues, unions, landlords, fire marshals and all of the other parties that enjoying complicating your life as an event coordinator... haha...

We can also provide COIs/W‑9s and work within venue guidelines.

How does grand opening balloon arch and balloon garland installation / clean up work?

Our team will handle all of the installation and clean up of your grand opening balloon arch and balloon garland for you! Generally we will build your balloon arch off-site and bring it preassembled. At times we will add additional balloons on-site to perfect your balloon arch / balloon garland design.

Once your grand opening celebration is over, we will return to your venue and get everything cleaned up for you! Trust us... you do NOT want to be picking up balloon scraps all night...

How big will my grand opening and ribbon cutting balloon arch be?

If you are thinking the standard semi-circle balloon arches, we measure those balloon arches by the dimension of the opening. Our standard-size balloon arches have an opening size of 8'x8' and our large-size balloon arches have an opening dimension of 12' x 9'. Garlands can be built to any size you'd like!

Can my grand opening balloon arch be moved once it's installed?

Some of our balloon arch designs need to be built in place but we do have a variety of designs that are quite easy to move as long as you have 2 people (of course, we can do it for you as well). If you will be needing to relocate your balloon arch throughout your event, let us know and we will keep that in mind as we design the perfect balloon arch for you.

Will my grand opening balloon arch have helium in it?

None of our balloon arches or garlands have helium in them. Your balloon arch and balloon columns for your grand opening and ribbon cutting will always be delivered on a freestanding, supporting framework.

We are not fans of using helium in balloons and we try to help our clients not be as well. Helium is a limited and depleting resource that is in short supply right now. Many venues won't allow helium balloons plus it's expensive, terrible for the environment and there are much better uses for helium than inflating party balloons (like using it for life-saving medical procedures).

Is my grand opening balloon arch environmentally friendly?

The vast majority of our balloons are 100% latex. Latex is created using the bark of the rubber tree, is 100% biodegradable and decomposes at the same rate as an oak leaf. The carbon footprint of balloons is also lower than just about any other decor element out there (air is pretty easy to come across and uninflated balloons take up almost no space). The carbon footprint of flowers for example is significantly higher than the carbon footprint for balloons.

We also make sure that we pick up every last balloon scrap when we clean up your balloon arch.
