People and organizations hire me to foster a dynamic vibe with balloon "magic." If you are planning a small or large gathering of any sort with some need for unique pizzaz, I could be a great addition to you party. Being dubbed "a normal person who can dazzle with balloons," I have a passion for engaging with people (yes, children to adults) and creating fun moments together: with wit, humor and creativity.
I make every attempt to be prompt and professional, relaxed and flexible. And I wear the most natural smile my parents put on me. :)
I've entertained at a wide array of events: bar mitzvahs, wedding receptions, large fundraisers, birthday parties, block parties, festivals, carnivals,
Nick was the biggest hit at Wellapalooza! They were so excited and loved his personality.
Nick was quick to respond with availability and booking was easy. He was on time and got straight to twisting. His balloon animals are detailed and so fun. He engages with the kids to keep them involved and happy for the entire hour. He creates a fun, humorous experience for both kids and adults. We will absolutely be using him in the future!
Response from Nick's Balloons & More, Inc.:
Love to hear such a positive experience. Thank you Ashley.
Nick was phenomenal at my 3 and 5 year old kids birthday party. Despite 30 mph winds, Nick rolled with everything and started cranking out amazing balloon animals, ninjas, magic wands, swords, you name it. The kids from 2 to 7 absolutely LOVED Nick, he saved the birthday party and helped to create an incredible atmosphere.
I would hire Nick again for any event in the future and highly recommend him to others!
Response from Nick's Balloons & More, Inc.:
Much appreciated, Michael! That wind was spectacular, but we figured it all out. Thanks for your kindness and enthusiasm. Peace
We hired Nick for my child's third birthday out in the park and Nick was incredible. It was straightforward booking him, he showed up on time, and most importantly he's so amazingly talented with his balloon twisting skills and demeanor towards the children. All the kids left was amazing balloon creations, and all the adults want to hire him for their party. Thank you Nick for entertaining all the kids and adults alike :)
Response from Nick's Balloons & More, Inc.:
Thank you for such a kind review. I am grateful for the opportunity to foster wonder and joy.
Nicolas came for the first part of our daughter’s 4th birthday and was SO wonderful! He is incredibly talented and also warm and personable and great with the children. We had 4 kids total and the size was great - each child received multiple balloons of their choosing - giraffes, penguins, elephants, crowns, etc. We’ll have him back for another party for sure.

Thank you, Shannon. Your feedback is helpful and warmly received. I'd love to entertain for another celebration of yours. Please connect with me at nixballoons on Instagram. Peace
Nick is amazing, every single creation is a major hit for the kids!
Response from Nick's Balloons & More, Inc.:
Thank you, Charlotte. Much appreciated. :)
We brought in Nick for my 8 year olds’ birthday party, dinosaur themed. Made an amazing pterodactyl for my daughter. He was just non-stop the entire time, interacting beautifully with the kids while making awesome balloons. Good communication, on time. Huge addition to the party. Will definitely use again.
We had a 1st Birthday Party for our son and had about 25 kids, ranging from 1-10 in age. Nick was great with the kids and created some awesome balloons. We were very impressed and many parents were asking for his card for future events. We will definitely be using Nick again in the future!
Response from Nick's Balloons & More, Inc.:
Thank you Joe. I appreciate the review. And I enjoyed entertaining your family and friends. Best wishes to your family in 2019!
All correspondence with Nick was timely and clear. He was very talented and patient with the kids. All the kids were super happy with the balloon creations at our block party! We're hoping to book him for next year!
My twin great-nieces loved him. He interacted so well with them and held their attention as much as anyone could with a couple of wired excitable 3 year olds. We adults loved him too. The animals he made were AMAZING (the girls let me keep the koala)!! I've already shown pictures to friends and they've shown interest in hiring him for their events.
Response from Nick's Balloons & More, Inc.:
Wonderful to hear. You all were great too! Enjoy the summer.
He was amazing and really good with the kids. He was very patient with the kids despite the fact that they were very wild.
Response from Nick's Balloons & More, Inc.:
Aww thanks, Martha.
Awesome job at our grand opening event. Huge hit with the kids - definitely recommend!
Response from Nick's Balloons & More, Inc.:
Thank you, Simon.
Kids had fun.
Response from Nick's Balloons & More, Inc.:
Thank you for the review. All the best to your family.
Working with Nick was super straightforward -- he responded to my messages, was easy to work with, and best of all provided the guests at my kids birthday party lots of fun to take home. He just came in and did his thing while I drank wine and chatted with my guests. I'd definitely recommend him.
Response from Nick's Balloons & More, Inc.:
Much appreciated, Claire. That's how it should work it ideally. Makes me thrilled to read your thoughts, as it validates why I do this entertainment. Best wishes to you and yours, and see you again in the future. Peace,
Nick
Kids had a great time. He did a great job
Response from Nick's Balloons & More, Inc.:
Thank you, Dawn. It was a hot one, and the line was long and steady the entire 3.5 hours. Great crowd! And super kind volunteers running this event. Best to you.
Nick did a wonderful job at the party. Would definitely use him again.
Response from Nick's Balloons & More, Inc.:
Thank you Ed. Much appreciated. I look forward to entertaining for your family again soon. Peace
Nick and his balloons were an awesome addition to our daughter's restaurant bday party. He kept kids of all ages entertained, and was so fun in his interaction with them! All of his creations were surprising and unique. Can't wait to hire him again for a future event.
Response from Nick's Balloons & More, Inc.:
There's a benefit to never growing up and being the biggest kid in the room! I'm so happy to hear your feedback and to know that you were pleased.
Nick was on time, made sure every kid at the party had the same amount of balloon figures and even made a special balloon for the birthday boy. We had kids from 1-15 and he was awesome with all of them. Nick was fantastic to work with and we will definitely call him again for family parties.
Response from Nick's Balloons & More, Inc.:
Thank you a Steven. Much appreciated. Happy New Year.
Thanks so much, Nick, for helping make our son's birthday party a huge success!! The kids had a blast and the adults, myself included, marveled at your amazing balloon skills! Your interaction with the kids made it especially fun. I'm glad you left some cards with me because I would absolutely recommend your services to anyone!
Response from Nick's Balloons & More, Inc.:
Much appreciated, Rick. I had a blast. And building a volleyball net was a first for me. :) Kids make it so much fun to entertain with balloons. Peace. Oh thanks for advertising for me as well.
Nick did great with all the kids! Everyone is still talking about what a great job he did a day after the party!!
I hired Nick to work at my son's 5th birthday party this past weekend. Nick was amazing! The party was indoors, but had a carnival theme. Nick's presence perfectly tied everything together. The party included around 75 people, of which about 30 were kids of all different ages. EVERYONE was so impressed and has been talking about Nick's talent and knack for working with kids for days. At one point, people were even applauding him for one of his creations. I could not have been happier!
Response from Nick's Balloons & More, Inc.:
My heart is happy. Thank you so much.
I hired Nick as a surprise for my twin 9 year old's, Birthday Sleepover. He arrived promptly at the requested time and proceeded to WOW us all. I know my girls enjoyed their surprise and even asked if we can hire Nick next year. I would defiantly hire him again as well as pass his information on. He was FANTASTIC.... Thanks Nick for a great job.
Response from Nick's Balloons & More, Inc.:
I greatly appreciate your feedback, Jen. And I am happy that the party was a hit. Thank you for sharing my information and for supporting my work. Best to you
Nick did a great job at both my brothers b-day party. The kids who attended (and adults) loved his balloon creations. My Down Syndrome brother (turned 30) enjoyed watching Nick make the balloon characters. Nick was very professional and answered all my questions prior to our event. I would definitely use him again and will recommend him to anyone who wants a balloon twister.
Response from Nick's Balloons & More, Inc.:
Great news to read on a Monday morning. I appreciate your feedback, and I'm pleased JP and you enjoyed my work. Wishing you all well.
Nick was wonderful! He communicated with me in a timely manner and I was able to get the gig booked very quickly. He answered all my questions, came out on a holiday, drove from very far, and was very friendly! Nick made all of the children a balloon that they loved and more than one for most of them. The kids were crowding him into a corner and he never stopped being totally nice and awesome with them! They were so sad when Nick had to leave. He made sure to see if everyone got a balloon before departing and thanked me several times. I would highly recommend him to anyone! All of my neighbors were at the party and have already asked to get in contact with him! Thanks again Nick!
Response from Nick's Balloons & More, Inc.:
