Dale was great! It was hot so we moved him into a covered area. The kids loved him. Hope to have him back next year.

Response from Dale the Balloon Twister:
Thanks, Charlene! It was good meeting you and Tim. Thanks for taking such good care of me. The kids were so much fun and really asked a lot of questions about balloon twisting.
Thanks again!
Having Dale for our kids birthday party was hands down the most memorable part for everyone. I assumed it would be kid-focused but Dale grabbed the attention of adults and nearly every single guest (35-40) left with at least one balloon art piece!! This was well-worth it and I plan to book with him again and again. He was kind, on-time and very professional. What a treat! I’d recommend him for any kind of party!!

Dale was amazing. He had a huge variety of balloons to choose from. He had things I’ve never even seen a balloon artist make. All the kids were happy and even some adults were always excited to get their balloons. I would recommend for any party. And will definitely book Dale again!!
Dale was great for our daughters 8th birthday party yesterday. He brought her an amazing balloon sculpture themed to match her party, and was able to make individual balloons for each child. He was pleasant and handled the kids very well. Professional and on time. He worked nonstop the entire hour he was at our home. He’s worth it!!
He did a great job! We already hired him for another event.

What to Expect
My designs are tailored to the individual events that I book. Details are worked out in advance with the client. After the initial consultation a simple contract outlining event details is sent to ensure client satisfaction. This contract outlines arrival time, departure time, where to set up, possible themes, etc. I am prompt – usually arriving 30 minutes in advance to set up and prepare to begin on time. If live twisting, I supply a booklet of pictures that can be passed around to those in line. Guests are able to view a sampling of my work. This can shorten the wait time in line. Business cards with my contact information are placed in clear view, but never forced on guests.
About
I have been creating balloon art since 1993. I started at church events. Over the past several years, I have booked corporate events, college functions, outdoor festivals and birthday parties in the greater Cincinnati area. In December 2017, my wife and I moved to the St. Louis area to be closer to our daughters. I offer a wide variety of balloon sculptures and decor from simple one-balloon figures to advanced multi-balloon designs. I enjoy designing hats, headbands, centerpieces, columns, arches, bracelets and anklets. Make your next celebration even more special by hiring a balloon twister!
I would love to hear from you soon!
