Create a flow of fun and wonder

Sparks guests interactions

Balloon animals are not just fun; they're conversation starters. Watch as both kids and adults mingle and marvel over the artistry, making your guests comfortable to say "Hi!" to each other.

Delightful for all ages

Balloon art is universally loved, offering fun for everyone. Your guests of all ages leave with a smile, making your event a universally enjoyable experience.

Tailored to your theme

Party planning is fun when you have a cohesive theme. To match your energy, we can customize designs to match. From jungle safaris to superhero gatherings to Disney princess parties, I can design my balloon creations to complement your chosen theme.

Photo opportunities galore

Guests will love capturing and sharing their unique balloon animals, giving your event even more visibility and flair on social media.

Prevent those awkward silences at a party

When the energy drops, everyone feels it. A packed event schedule doesn’t always guarantee a good time. Even a few dull minutes can leave people disengaged or looking at their phones.

Our balloons move through your event, ready to create little bursts of magic wherever you need them most.

The whimsical shapes and playful interactions pull guests in, break the ice, and add energy to the flow.

Hi,
I'm Steamer Lee

I know that "ugh-are-people-going-to-actually-show-up" pressure of planning an event. And if they do, what if they get bored? And never come back? And tell other people about how boring it was?

Planning a party or event is a lot of work: Make sure every guest is well-fed. Find the right DJ or playlist to set the mood. Respect the exhaustive rules of the venues where you're hosting the party.

All while still trying to enjoy the time yourself!

That’s where we step in to help lighten the load. Bringing life and color to your gatherings with the art of balloon twisting. Years of working with event planners taught me exactly how to read the atmosphere and keep the energy of your event flowing. So that guests of all ages stay entertained and mesmerized with whimsical balloon creations that'll make their eyes glisten with wonder.

When I’m not making balloons, I work as a marketer. I help B2B brands understand their target audience, clarify their offerings, and refine their messaging. Sometimes I build websites (like this one!) and develop sales funnel strategies for them.

All of that means I do balloons not as another job, but for the fun of it. It's my way of having fun, and I think the guests catch on to that feeling too! Besides,  why hide my artistic talents if they can help make more people smile?

On a personal note, I’ve been married to my wonderful wife for 11 years. I’m an over-caffeinated dad who can barely keep up with my 5-year-old and a spirited 15-year-old Westie.
