What customers have to say about KatieBalloon's balloon artistry and balloon fashions.

All Thank you Katie for a great job at our party this morning!

I wanted to share with an excerpt from an email from my friend, whose three-year old, Elise, was quite inspired by you...

"Just wanted to share a side note.....Katie the Balloon Lady made quite an apparent impact on Elise. This afternoon, Elise changed into her striped long johns and stuck every crayon she had in the inside of pants around her waist...and proceeded to ask me if I "wanted a silly or beautiful balloon." She then took out several crayons aka "balloons" and blew them up and presented me with a balloon hat. haha." Thank you for checking in with each child at the party and making them feel special.quoteEnd

You rock! Not only do you rock - you rocked quite a few worlds at our Reunion dinner. I can't thank you enough for your creativity and great energy. All the table creations were marvelous. You combined the perfect sense of dentistry and fun with each. Every person - and I do mean EVERY person- that I've talked to was so impressed. Thank you for putting those together in such a way that brought smiles and happiness all around. You were super with the balloons you made on the spot. I know that you, and you, alone, made the difference in the mood of the event. The Dean declared the event "phenomenal." You created a great evening for 200+ people with your charming and clever sculptures. You are amazing, to say the least. quoteEnd

Dear Katie: Thank YOU!

You took a room of screaming 6 year old boys and turned them into HAPPY screaming 6 year old boys! I can't thank you enough for your professionalism, talent, and humor!

Everyone was awed by your amazing balloon feat at the end of the event. I hope you get some business from other parents who where there. If you ever need a recommendation, let me know.

Happy New Year!

P.S. My orange and purple crown remains balloon-licious even today!

I Am So Glad You Are Spreading Laughter & Cheer Because Your Warm Presence Always Brightens The Faces Of Others. I Am So Impressed By Your Talent Wish I Was As Creative As You, But Admire I Will. quoteEnd

You made a couple of balloons for my wife and me while we were sitting at a restaurant on Cary Street. A rose and an elephant. After dinner, I took these balloons to my severely handicapped daughter who lives in a group home. They made her very happy. Thank you for what you did. I just want to remind you that you are a wonderful talent and a blessing to many. quoteEnd

—Rev. Mike Browder Ph.D.

My daughter met you last weekend. She was the one that sat there for 3 hours watching you. She just lost her big sister in a car accident last year. Seeing you was the first time I have seen her smile in months. You are a blessing. quoteEnd

Thank you for working with us on this past weekend's Clam Bake. I appreciate both your flexibility in adjusting the general look and feel of the art after your arrival to better fit the theme and your genuine concern regarding my reactions to the change. Your work was well received and added to the children's excitement. quoteEnd
