FAQ

Questions parents ask

Prices, timing, travel and safety, answered before you book.

Booking and prices

How much does a balloon twister cost?

One hour is $200, two hours $330 and three hours $495, plus travel. Public events, schools and corporate picnics have a 2-hour minimum.

How many hours do I need for my party?

One hour suits a party of up to about 15 children. With more than 15, book extra time or a second artist so nobody waits long.

Is travel included in the price?

No. Travel is added on top and depends on where your party is. It's confirmed in your quote before you book.

How do I book?

Send your date, location, guest count and the hours you'd like through the booking form, or call or text 778-789-2241 (WhatsApp works too). We'll confirm we're free and send a quote.

How far ahead should I book?

As soon as you have a date. Weekends fill first, and custom decor needs time to plan.

Balloon twisting

What does a balloon twister do at a party?

A balloon twister makes balloon animals, hats, swords, wands and characters on the spot. Kids pick from a balloon menu and watch theirs being made.

How long do balloon animals last?

A few days. They slowly go soft, and heat or direct sun pops them sooner, so keep them out of a hot car.

Face painting

Who does the face painting?

Lauren paints faces herself, so one booking can cover face painting and balloon twisting.

Can you face paint at a school or public event?

Yes. Public events, schools and corporate picnics have a 2-hour minimum.

Balloon arches and decor

How much does a balloon arch cost?

Every arch is custom, so it's priced by quote. The size, style, colours, location and timing set the price. Send a photo you like and the space you have.

Can balloon decor go outside?

Yes, with some planning: shade if you can, something solid to anchor it to, and setup on the day. Sun, heat and wind make latex balloons fade and pop sooner.

Safety and trust

Are you insured?

Yes. Twist Parties is liability insured.

Are your artists background-checked?

Yes. Every artist on the team is background-checked.

How long have you been doing this?

Lauren has been twisting balloons since 2012.

Are your balloons eco-friendly?

We use biodegradable latex balloons wherever we can.
