She did an amazing job with the…read moreballoons for my sister's baby shower -- the colors matched the theme perfectly and her work was so creative. For the amount of time, effort, and detail she put into everything, she honestly did not charge nearly enough. I was expecting to pay much more, and even if she had charged more , it would have been worth it. Everyone at the baby shower kept asking who did the balloons, and I was happy to share her information. I will definitely be using her services again in the future and highly recommend her for any event -- she truly does it all and her work speaks for itself.

When looking for event or party balloons, it's so great that I've now found someone local and so…read moreeasy to work with. I recently had an event that I needed balloons for and was able to reach out to 5 Balloons. As a fellow DIY-er, I've considered just making the balloons myself, but remembered how many balloons it would take, the tying of balloons, the labor to set up and more, it was just a huge weight off my shoulders to get someone who's craft is actually balloons. When I called, we talked about the date and inspirations that I had for my event. She asked questions about the location, and set up times to ensure that she will be able to meet the needs I needed for my event. On the day of the event, she showed up right at the time that we communicated, and her work exceeded my expectations. Folks were taking pictures with the balloons all night, and we even kept it up for others to enjoy for a week or so after. All in all, they were great with communication, and delivered exactly what we talked about. I can't wait to work with them again for upcoming events.

It was nice too bc it's rented for private parties so it just our group! It didn't feel as dangerous as the overly crowded jump zones with kids flying everywhere. She your first walk in there is candy, popcorn and a little store. The kids love this! Then you walk into the inflatable zone which is the perfect size for kids. We were there for a 6 year old bday party and it was the perfect size for them. The party room was a decent size and they luckily supply pizza from Antioch Pizza. It was so yummy I had to take a second piece. This is another pro rather than some of the larger places that supply nasty pizza (jump zone)! The place is perfect for a party and the Inflatables seem more safe than a trampoline park!

What a fun performer. I came across him at the Park Ridge Kiwanis annual pancake breakfast, where…read morehe was doing some entertaining mostly for the kids but definitely for the adults as well. It's through him that I heard of the Central Street Busker Festival that took place the next day and his line was loooong! Most recently, we went to his show last week that the Mt. Prospect Public Library held for spring break. That was very very well attended, with a long line of folks waiting to get in (and that's with all of us registered to attend!), but the show was a lot of fun. He did a little magic, a little comedy, and some fun balloon tricks. This guy has been doing this all his adult life--unless that's also a joke and part of his act--but regardless, he's great at his job. I'm looking forward to seeing him again and my little one having the chance to pick her balloon creation on her own.
