Birthday party!!
Lily P.

Yani does amazing party backdrops, party favors, gift baskets and etc! She also does facepainting for kids (like really spectacular and creative) and ballon animals too. She has done a few of parties for our local friends lately and the kids have LOVEEDDD all the faceprinting and recently did face painting and a backdrop for our daughter's 1st birthday. Highly recommended!!! She is also local which is really nice since she is always on time, pretty flexible, and she knows the local parks. Once we had our party, our friends starting booking her out for the fall. I really think her facepainting talent is what makes her stand out so much. She has a wide range of face painting options, can do animals, spaceships, unicorns and rainbows, "little blue trucks", and freestyle paint whatever the kid is requesting. We got a lot of great feedback from friends whose kids loves her use of glitter and gems on their requests which made it stand out.

Jungle themed baby shower

Yani is absolutely amazing at what she does. I had a vision for what I wanted and she exceeded my expectations. Yani is very professional and has a great eye for detail.

Beautiful Backdrop
Lisa V.

Yani and her crew did an Amazing job creating our backdrop. It was everything I wanted and more. Everyone loved it and it was a great photo opportunity. It was a special day so we'll always have these beautiful memories with a beautiful backdrop. Very professional and on time with delivery and pick up. Thank you Yani for sharing your beautiful talent with us. Will definitely use again in future.

I can't begin to tell you how happy we are with You-nique Balloons! Yani and her crew has provided outstanding service to us for 2 baby showers. She also traveled all the way to Arizona 2 times to provide her services. She truly is unique and has a sense of art that will blow you away. I truly recommend You-nique Balloons, you will not be dissatisfied.

Gender Reveal!
Genesis T.

We have been a returning customer because we truly love their beautiful balloon designs! I love the back-and-forth communication they had with me based on my opinions, how I want it to look, the colors, and more. They also give me their input as well, which helps summarizes what I want. On top of that, they send me sketches of what the final design will look like. Honestly, I truly appreciate that, because it helps me design the rest of my event based on how the design looks like. It really puts me at ease when planning for an event. We hire them during our gender reveal and baby shower and will continue to partner with them again! They show up on time and with enough time to set up before our party. They are well-organized and quick! The Value is also great for what we got! Cannot complain! Nothing but a great review from a very happy and satisfied costumer!

I have nothing but positive things to say about this company! They were hired last minute (4 days before the event) when our original balloon vendor canceled last minute. They were incredibly responsive and professional. They set up the most beautiful balloon decoration, exactly what we wanted. They were there right on time. I will ABSOLUTELY use them again for future events. I have already referred them to a few friends!

Yani is super professional and is great at communicating. Her talent at making an event capture an audience is superb. By far the best service I've used for event decorations. I would recommend You-nique Balloons and Backdrops to anyone who is looking for a seamless experience.

She made the amazing photo wall!
Kiana V.

Working with Yani was an absolute dream. She is extremely professional, kind and trustworthy. I showed her my vision and she came up with something even better! I was so pleased with all the results! It was easy to communicate with her and she did a fantastic job. Now I am just coming up with parties so I can have her do the photo wall Would use again for another event!

Tiffany L.

Yani was the highlight of my son's recent birthday party! We were very happy working with her for face painting and balloon animals. She was prompt, easy to schedule/coordinate with, flexible, and delivered such beautiful face painting and balloon making offerings. She's friendly and approachable, which you can see just by the fact that the kids all gravitated towards her throughout the gathering. I highly recommend booking her. Now that I know she offers backdrops and balloon designs, I will certainly be reaching out to her for these services - she's incredible and a one stop shop!

Professional, and the balloons came out beautifully. Totally made the event. Very accommodating and worked with my vision. Will recommend and hire again Forsure. Thank you!!

Balloon Arch set up at 6 AM on Pioneer Meadow at Golden Gate Park

Truly a very reliable and competent professional business! We had an Oral Cancer Walk at Golden Gate Park with the Oral Cancer Foundation. When reaching out, I got a super quick quote for a very reasonable price. It was so easy to book and pay online via email. I was able to show dimensions, map and reference pics. The balloon arch was set up by 6:30 AM and taken down by 1 PM. The team showed up at amazing speed and had smiling happy faces. Not to mention the beautiful balloon arch was loved by all tourists and walk goers. The arch alone helped draw in so many people wanting free oral cancer screenings and making donations to our cause. I would definitely recommend You-nique balloons and backdrops to anyone and everyone. Please give this business a chance!!

Yanira did an excellent job as a face painter in my son's biethday party(view the photos). Not only did she managed to paint 15 kids, but also around 10 adults in less than 2 hrs with a great quality.

I cannot recommend anyone else besides Yani and You-nique Balloons and Backdrops when it comes to party decorating. She is so talented and incredibly creative. My only wish after I graduated college was to have a Shrek themed party and Yani knew exactly how to help. From my green moss balloon backdrop to my green chocolate dipped pretzel ogre fingers, I cannot help but feel so grateful to Yani for making my dream come alive!

However, I still do stand behind the inconvenience of ordering with Cute Balloons** I was going to be a repeat customer. This time I had time to plan and it wasn't as last minute. I will not be attempting to return as a customer nor do I recommend this business. I had a very straight forward order but because he didn't have the colors and type I wanted, the process was stretched out. There was a lot of back and forth with photos and questions. 24 hours later, I realize this is not how it should be. Based on my last experience, I knew I needed to ask questions and request for photos to get options. Because his "green" meant light green when I want a hunter green but he ONLY has the light green and told me he has "green" and would have provided that green to me if I didn't inquire more about it. After a while, it seems like I was directing the sales. To help the guy out, I told him not to blow up every shade of balloon but just take a single picture of the unblown balloon so that I can choose from it. And blow it up if I want to see how it looks like blown up. After that ordeal, he gave me a new quote that was close to my previous order (which had 30 more latex balloons). Basically this time $200 for 50 latex, 10 foil stars, numbers 1 & 0, and delivery. When my last order was $250 for 80 latex, 12 foil stars & delivery. Plus, we gave him a tip even though I was a bit on the fence of doing so. When inquired about the price this time, he concluded that each foil number was to cost $15. For a balloon business, choices are lacking. Eric has no concept of different shades of colors. Definitely has no interests in returning customers. We are a balloon loving party family. So we have had experiences with ordering balloons and blowing up balloons ourselves. I am very disappointed that this local small business is not quite trying to be what they are made out for. Now I'm just more mad because I wasted more time to write this review because I was unhappy with my experience with the balloon man. After I press "post review", I will forget about this business and let go of the angry feelings I have because, damnit! I have a 10 year old birthday party to plan.

I contacted them for my son's birthday party that was minions themed and Lisa was very responsive to my inquiry and prompt to answer all of my questions. We decided to go with Lisa and we are glad we did. I sent Lisa a photo of my vision and she delivered on the Arch and center pieces for our picnic birthday party. Communication was great leading up to our event and on the actual day of my party, Lisa was on time and worked efficiently to get the balloons setup for the birthday before our scheduled start time. Lisa and her partner were very kind and pleasant to work with. When they came to pick up the balloons after the event, she made take down look so easy and there was no mess since all balloons were popped into a garbage bag. Lisa even gave some of he balloons away to kids who were asking for them. Overall, I am very happy and impressed with the service provided and will definitely use Jax party for all of my future events.

She was responsive via email, patient, kind, and professional. She used my inspiration photos and nailed what I had in mind. I wanted a race car theme, but I didn't want the standard red, black, and yellow colors. I used a color scheme that matched the interior of my home. Lisa showed up on time the day of, and she got the balloons setup in under an hour. She set them up on Saturday, May 27 and I just now took them down on Monday, June 5! Technically, they still have lots of life left! I was pleased with the results, and I will continue to give Lisa my business.

I really appreciated that he read the room, took initiative, and still delivered exactly what we had agreed to. Friends came up to say how great he was!

He managed a large, energetic group of kindergarteners with ease, keeping everyone laughing, focused, and excited throughout the entire show. His magic was age-appropriate, interactive and surprising, with lots of opportunities for kids to participate. The energy in the room never dipped, and the smiles were constant. Several parents came up to us afterward to comment on how great he was, which says a lot. Mr. Shap is professional and clearly very experienced with young children. We couldn't have asked for a better entertainer and would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone planning a kids' party.
