You can absolutely grab a bag of balloons and a pump. But if you want a garland, arch or backdrop that looks like your event, and gets cleaned up afterward, here’s how the two stack up.

The Short Version

Balloon Therapy
DIY / big-box décor
Setup and takedown
One coordinated service. We install, and we come back for breakdown based on your venue.
You assemble it, and you take it all down yourself.
Color matching
Matched to your brand HEX or Pantone reference, tested and layered as needed.
Limited to whatever retail colors are on the shelf.
Pricing
Custom installs start at $65. DIY kits are fixed price ($115 for the Custom Garland Kit).
Cheap upfront, but the time and trial and error are on you.
Insurance
General liability insurance, with proof for hotels, schools and corporate venues.
Not something you’ll get a certificate for.
Planning
We walk through sizing, install needs and timeline with you before anything is booked.
You’re working out the logistics solo.

Where it really counts

You’re not left with the cleanup. Our team installs on-site and can return for breakdown, so nobody’s wrestling balloons at midnight. Takedown is usually its own service based on your install and venue, and we talk it through in the proposal so the invoice never surprises you. Using our rental structures, or does your venue need everything out right after the event? We’ll schedule the return trip.

Your color, not a close guess. We start with your brand color, HEX or Pantone reference, guidelines or a physical sample. If an exact shade isn’t made, we test several balloon shades or double-stuff them to get closer, and we think about how it’ll photograph under your venue’s lighting.

Venue-ready paperwork. We carry general liability insurance and work with hotels, universities, schools, corporate venues and event spaces all the time. We build the vendor-approval step into planning instead of scrambling near install day.

WE LISTEN. WE CREATE. WE PARTY.

What it costs

Custom installations start at $65 and depend on size, style, balloon quantity, venue, install requirements and customization. There’s no flat per-foot rate, because a storefront arch, a ballroom backdrop and a backyard garland all need different labor, structure and materials. We go through those variables before we quote.

50%

The DIY kit comes with an Instruction Manual and a Video Tutorial with Jessi. Our production and design team prepares it to your colors, size and design, so final assembly is easy even without an installer there.

The balance follows the payment schedule in your proposal, and everything runs through our online invoicing, with payment options shown right on your invoice.

When to book

Hotels and storefronts
4-8 weeks
Weddings

Large corporate, branded or custom builds

School celebrations and graduations fit the 4-8 week window too. Saturdays and peak spring and fall seasons fill up first, so book earlier for those. Running late? Rush installs may be possible depending on our schedule, so ask.

"Balloon Therapy has done two events for us and we can't wait to have them for another one this year! They did an incredible set up for our Valentines display at our salon. The team came prepared and on time and were always reaching out throughout the process. I love all of their color options and different shapes they can do. We can't wait to see what they pull off for this years Valentines display!!"

QUESTIONS WE GET

Can you match my exact brand or wedding color?

Yes. Send us a color reference or sample and we’ll compare it against the professional balloon brands we carry, then test or layer shades to get as close as possible.
What if my venue changes after I book?

We rework the plan instead of reusing the old balloon count. A new room can mean different ceiling height, wall dimensions, attachment options and guest flow. Send us the new details as early as you can.
Do you work with venues that need proof of insurance?

All the time. We’ll confirm what your venue needs with your team before install day.
Where are you based?

Dallas, with service across the DFW area and Texas. Our shop is at 11363 Denton Dr, Suite 115, and we’re open Monday through Friday, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
