Kio Kreations did our wedding flowers in March 2019. We loved working with Kristen and she does…read moreexcellent work! We got married at Riverside Receptions in Geneva, but did all of our wedding planning from Pittsburgh. Despite being long-distance, planning with Kristen was very easy. It was easy to get a hold of her by phone (a bit faster than email) for our consultation or other questions. Our philosophy is to hire professionals and let them do what they know best. I had an idea of what color flowers I wanted, and then Kristen asked for my opinion on specific types of flowers. The end product was amazing! LOVED what she did with my bouquet and my bridesmaids' bouquets, they were gorgeous and had cool textures. Our wedding arch/chuppah was also beautifully done. What I really appreciated about Kristen is that she respected our budget (and didn't pressure us to add more on) and was straightforward with how to best spend our money.

We recently hired Kristen to plan and decorate two events (one in Feb. 2024 and the other in April 2024) and she blew our minds with what she came up with. Our guests also loved every little detail that she came up with. All we had to do was give her a theme we wanted, a ballpark budget, and she ran with it to make it as amazing as possible! She is punctual, communicative, professional, and very hard-working. We will absolutely continue to hire her for future birthdays and events!

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.
