Meet Erika

The person behind the name

There’s nothing I love more than seeing my balloons become the backdrop to so many smiles, laughs, pictures, and special memories.

I was always the friend who loves to host and bring people together. After buying my first home, I started decorating for every holiday and creating something special for family and friends. Soon friends were trusting me with their own celebrations, and well, a passion was born.

Every milestone, big or small, deserves to be celebrated. A birthday, a first-time mom, a first birthday party, a proposal, a work milestone: my work becomes the center of someone’s special day, and I love knowing it is part of a memory people will cherish for years to come. I am incredibly honored every time you choose me.

I care about the details, and I genuinely want you to love the finished product. Let’s talk openly about what you expect, and let me help you bring your vision to life. I really love my clients and the people I meet, and I am proud to offer many different designs for every budget.

  • I ordered balloons for my niece’s 15th birthday and Erika did an amazing job! I sent over multiple inspiration photos and Erika created a design to incorporate everything perfectly. She was even able to personalize it with my niece’s name. Everything from setup and tear down, to designing and final presentation was great. I will definitely be a repeat customer and recommend to all!
