Can my balloon be customized?
Of course— personalization is our specialty! Fiona, our owner, is a hand letterer and can write/draw almost anything on your balloon, no matter the size. We have many color options for you to choose from for the lettering.
Can I choose my own tassel and balloon colors?
Yes, our bespoke balloons are made to your liking. Not all colors exist in balloons (Pinterest, you liar!!), so our color mixing skill come in handy when we create custom color balloons just for you!
Do you deliver?
Yes we do. We service all of South Shore Massachusetts. Delivery is priced according to location and time. On site balloon styling and installation is also offered. We have a minimum $15 delivery fee regardless of distance. The delivery fee is calculated based on the distance from our HQ (located in Scituate Harbor 02066) to your event location at $3 per mile.
Balloon delivery is offered to Scituate, Norwell, Cohasset, Hingham, Hanover, Marshfield, Duxbury, Weymouth, Pembroke, Abington, Rockland, Plymouth, Kingston, Bridgewater, Braintree, Quincy, Cambridge, Boston, Cape Cod and beyond!
What kind of balloon do you use?
We use the highest quality balloon available. Our latex balloons are treated to extend the life from 18-24 hours to 2-14 days!* Your jumbo balloons could last up to 3 months and we've even heard of mylar balloons lasting 4 years!* Installations last anywhere from 1 day to 3 months.*
*We cannot actually guarantee your balloons will last at all once you leave our shop or we drop them off to you, as you might walk into a pokey awning, rest your balloons against a hot wall/car, get scared and let go, leave them in the cold/hot, over-expose them to the elements, forget them in your car, or someone could simply steal them from you. Helium is very sensitive to extreme heat and cold: this means the life span of your balloon could be effected by the temperature of your house or the weather outside. If we pop you balloon, we will replace it. If you/someone else/mother nature pops/loses/steals/destroys/damages/pokes/bites/lets go of your balloon, The Painted Balloon is not held responsible.
Can you refill my balloon?
Latex balloons are only able to be filled with helium/air one time. As soon as the balloon is blow up and exposed to the elements, the decomposition process has begun.
Mylar foil balloons are refillable, although we are not accepting them at this time.
I already have balloons, can you fill them?
We have chosen not to fill outside balloons, because we cannot guarantee the quality. Some of those Amazon balloons only float upside down 🙄
Do you have a storefront?
We do not have a public storefront at this time.
Pick up is available at our dear friend's Flower and Festivities (35 Front Street, Scituate MA 02066).
What other services do you offer?
Have you seen our tassel installations? Equally as stunning as our organic balloons installs, these offer a unique backdrop or art piece for your next event. Enjoy incorporating your logo on a balloon or even your logo made out of balloons! From Corporate events, product launches, publicity, christenings, weddings to engagements, we do it all and look at each concept individually.
What is your cancellation policy?
