While we do ask for at least 2 week notice before any event, we understand that things come up last minute.

However, we will try our best to accommodate last-minute requests for an additional fee.
Pricing will be calculated by the following factors.

Final totals will be included in your invoice/contract. All parties will sign, date, and return back to us.

This is used to secure your date, and order supplies for your event. The rest of your payment is due on the date listed on your invoice. We will not go to your event/set-up unless you have paid your final deposit. Legal action may be pursued due to breach of contract. You will also be blocked from using our services in the future.

The lifespan of a balloon piece depends on both internal and external factors;
Are they filled with air or helium? Air-filled pieces can last weeks, whereas helium pieces might last only a couple of days to a week
Is this piece displayed indoors or outdoors? Indoor pieces will last longer than outdoor pieces due to environmental factors.
Unfortunately, we do not use balloons purchased outside of our own vendors. We want to ensure we are providing you with the highest quality balloons and materials for your décor.
Balloon decorations are one of the most popular ways to decorate an event and prices can range depending on what you are looking for and what the supply in the market looks like. The total cost of our décor depends on the type of décor you want, the products used, how many balloons you need or want, our time putting the piece together, travel & delivery, sales tax, etc. Décor can range anywhere from $100 to $1,000, depending on your order. Ask us for a quote!
Please remember that our minimum for larger orders is $500.
Yes, events can happen outdoors, with some limitations! Almost all of our entire balloon décor range can be placed outdoors. Balloons do better in the fall and spring months because of the temperature outside. The winter and summer months are tricky as weather can be a potential issue. Although, décor can still be done in those months! We ask that you tell us if your event is going to be taking place indoors, outdoors, or both so that we can adjust accordingly
Please see the following guidelines for outdoor décor.
Heat and direct sunlight can make balloons oxidize or even pop more rapidly than normal. Oxidation is the process of when the latex breaks down in the balloons, causing the balloons to have a "matte" like finish. All latex balloons kept outdoors will oxidize.
Putting outdoor décor under shade, a tent, or something along those lines will help your balloons last longer. We highly suggest NOT putting your décor in the direct sunlight.
We suggest if you are using latex balloons to go with lighter colors (whites, matte colors, etc). Darker colors will go down faster in the sun.
Wind and rain can and will affect balloons. If the balloons are not secured properly, the wind can ruin a display. If you have helium balloons, the rain will cause the helium balloons to not float. We suggest doing all air filled designs for outdoor décor, unless you know what the weather will be like the day of your event.
The cold weather does not affect balloons as much as the heat. Foil or Mylar balloons will tend to "go down" in the cooler temperatures.
Use foil or plastic balloons as much as possible for outdoor events, especially in the heat as they will last longer.
Make sure your event location will allow balloons outside.
DO NOT EVER release any helium filled balloons into the air.
MBM is not responsible for the weather after an event is set-up.
If we have a recommendation for your event, please respect it as we know what is best for the balloons and we want them to last as long as possible for you!
Yes! Most latex balloons are made from natural rubber and are 100% biodegradable. Foil and plastic balloons are not biodegradable, but they can be recycled. Please do not let balloons fly into the sky as they can cause power outages and harm wildlife.
Client Cancellations: Cancellations made 30 or more days before the event are eligible for a credit toward a future event of equal or lesser value. Cancellations made within 30 days of the event are not eligible for credit or refund. All payments made via PayPal or Venmo may include processing fees, which are non-refundable.
