Questions
Decoration and design
Colours, venues and what lasts.
Can you match my colours and theme?
Yes. Every garland, backdrop, floral piece and sign is built in your palette; send a photo or a colour reference and we match it.
How long do balloons last?
Air-filled garlands and walls look good for days indoors; helium balloons float 10 to 24 hours (latex) or days (foil). Outdoors, heat and sun shorten the life, so we plan colours and shade.
Can decoration go outdoors?
Yes. Outdoor pieces are weighted, anchored for wind and planned for the forecast, with a backup plan agreed the week before.
Do you decorate condos and small apartments?
Yes. We size the design to the room, book the elevator with the concierge and work within the building’s hours.
Can you decorate a restaurant or a hall I have booked?
Yes. We coordinate access, setup time and takedown with the venue directly.
Do you offer biodegradable balloons?
Latex balloons we use are natural rubber and biodegradable; ask when you book and we plan the design around them.
Questions
Setup, takedown and the day
What happens on the day.
How long does setup take?
One to two hours for a garland and cake table; two to four hours for backdrops, ceiling work and multiple pieces; longer for weddings and corporate rooms. We agree the window with your venue.
Do you take everything down?
Yes, where takedown is included or quoted; rentals such as backdrops, numbers, booths and furniture are collected the same night or the next morning.
Can I keep the balloons?
Yes. Balloons are yours to keep or we remove them at takedown, whichever you prefer.
What if my venue has rules about hanging things?
We use freestanding frames, weights and removable fixings where walls and ceilings cannot be touched, and confirm the venue’s rules before the design is final.
What happens if it rains on an outdoor event?
We move the setup under a tent or indoors, or reschedule; the plan is agreed with you the week before.
Do you need power at the venue?
Marquee numbers, neon signs, photo booths and inflatables need a standard outlet; everything else does not.
Questions
Photo booths and entertainment
Booths, performers and timing.
Which photo booth is right for my event?
The 360 video booth for high-energy parties and corporate events, the classic booth for weddings and family celebrations, the mirror booth for elegant weddings and premium parties; see photo booth experiences.
How much space does a photo booth need?
About 8 by 8 ft for a classic booth, 10 by 10 ft for the 360 booth, with a power outlet and room for a queue.
Is an attendant included?
Yes. Booths come with an on-site attendant who runs the booth and helps guests.
How long do performers stay?
Kids entertainers are booked by the hour, usually one to two hours; DJs and MCs for the length of the event.
Can entertainers match my theme?
Yes. Characters, face painting designs, balloon twisting and music are matched to the theme and ages.
Do you provide the DJ as well as the decor?
Yes. See DJ and performance for event DJs, live music, dancers and MCs.
