We hired Dylan to create balloon art for over 25 kids at a joint birthday party. We had a face painter as well and the kids bounced back and forth between the two. Dylan was amazing - he made Hello Kitty armbands, bows & arrows, butterfly headbands, a gorgeous multi-colored parrot, lovely flowers, a monkey, and some amazing hat creations that bounced fun items in front of the child's head. His creativity knows no bounds and he worked efficiently so that when the 2 hours was up, he was just repairing a bow and arrow that lost a part, and every kid who wanted a balloon had one. I highly recommend him for parties and other events. The kids are wowed and the parents love to watch as well.
Dylan was incredible! Super communicative and easy to work with, he appeared on time, set up quickly, and began making the most realistic balloon creations I had ever seen. We had about 80 people cycle through the party in a relatively small area, so there was a constant crowd around him, but he never seemed overwhelmed, and even stayed overtime to finish a couple of creations for some children. We look forward to having him at our next big event!
Dylan joined us for our 26th annual company picnic. Each year it becomes more difficult to bring something new and exciting to our event but Dylan did it! Our employees are still talking about how Dylan helped make this year's picnic the best ever.
Response from Slightly Twisted Balloons:
Thanks so much for having me Laura. This was one of the best company picnics I have attended and it had plenty to talk about. The weather was perfect and everyone was having a wonderful time with their friends and family! Hope to join ou net year!
Dylan is the most amazing balloon artist I have come across. His creative and shockingly realistic balloons was a big hit with the kids and adults at the birthday party.
I would recommend Dylan to any and everyone who is looking for entertainment for a party.
Thank you so much Dylan!
Response from Slightly Twisted Balloons:
Thanks Patty!
Your party was a blast and all the kids were so nice. I wasn't expecting the party to end with an all out balloon battle but it was a fun touch! Thanks for having me!
Dylan Gelinas is a true artist! We had an open house for a dental office and Dylan was amazing!
Response from Slightly Twisted Balloons:
Thanks Kirill! You and your staff were amazing and you certainly know how to throw a party.
I hired Slightly Twisted for my son's 1st birthday party. Dylan arrived on time (early), well-groomed, and immediately started working. I assumed we would get little hand-sized balloon animals, but he was creating some pretty impressive pieces for the kids. I overheard one mom say that her daughter had asked for a character she didn't think Dylan would know, but he sure did. He was great with the kids and did a big lion mask for the birthday boy. I'd hire him again in a second!
I had a yellow tow truck made for my husband for Valentine's Day this year (2013), and I can not believe it still has air in most of it! He loved it, as well as our entire tow crew at Northcrest Auto Center (picture) https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.552759281415573.126529.115832205108285&type=3. Thanks Dylan!
I hired Dylan to build a life-sized balloon sculpture for a business networking event. It was a commission and a challenge. He spent a good deal of time preparing for it, even researching the size of an elephant's eye. He arrived in town to begin building and although he had never done it, I never heard a peep if he had problems. The sculpture was the highlight of the event. It was such a fun experience to see professional adults see balloon sculptures, not as kid entertainment, but as art.
I've had Dylan at a couple Birthday parties for my kids & have been at MANY other party's where parents have had him there. He is nothing short of Amazing with what he can do with Balloons!!! Something new EVERY time & ALL the kids leave happy with Exactly what they wanted !!! Genius !!!
I met him at Wendy's birthday party, after seeing him around school since I had moved to CC. He made her an awesome balloon crown with a daisy on it, and made me a monkey, which popped like... 2 months later! He always has a smile on his face, and I'm glad he made a career out of balloon twisting :)
Not only can he do thing with balloons you could never imagine, he is quick witted and just an all-around good time! Do yourself a favor and book the best balloon guy near you!
He arrived on time to a first grade holiday party, made wonderful balloons for all the kids, and even stayed a little extra time to finish up with the last kids, without charging extra. He is friendly, engages in conversation while working, asked the kids questions and tried to make exactly what they were requesting. I definitely recommend him!

When you hire Slightly Twisted Balloons you can expect prompt arrival along with an ample (some say excessive) supply of every possible balloon you can think of.
Your twister will set up where you would like and begin work immediately. Children can ask for ANYTHING (provided you have not created any special restrictions and it is not time prohibitive) and it will be made on the spot for them. There will be laughter, color, and plenty of amazing balloons to go around.
When the agreed to upon time arrives your twister will finish up the balloon he is working on, thank you for choosing Slightly Twisted Balloons, and then wave goodbye as he heads off to his next wild balloon adventure!

If you can name it, we can make it happen.

We are inspired by everything! After twisting for over a decade you begin to see things in balloons. Shapes seem to blend and colors begin to separate themselves. This lets the world inspire you.
