Okay so — I get asked this question literally every single day. And the answer is annoying: it depends.

I KNOW. Hear me out though, because there’s a reason.

A 10-kid backyard birthday is genuinely different from a 200-person corporate family day, which is genuinely different from just having me hang around your sister’s baby shower for an hour. The prices for those are wildly different.

So instead of giving you a price list that’s either way too high for your event OR way too low, here’s how it actually breaks down.

Real ranges

Birthday parties (1–2 hrs) — the most common booking. Most fall in a pretty reasonable range.
Corporate events (2–4 hrs) — bigger groups, longer time, higher number. Worth it though.
Restaurant gigs at Spaghetti Works + Zio’s in the Old Market — totally free for diners. Bring the kids! Tips appreciated because I’m not made of money lol.

For a real number, call or text 402-740-1858. It’s a 60-second conversation, not a sales pitch. Promise.

What actually changes the price

How many people. Obvious one. 10 kids = different math than 80.

How long. Most parties are 1–2 hours. Some longer. Scales with time.

What you want. I do balloon twisting — classic balloon animals, swords, hats, flowers, simple characters. Most kids’ parties are a mix of “the classics” (dogs, swords, flowers) and specific requests (a unicorn, a dinosaur). I don’t do giant sculptures or balloon décor like arches — that’s a separate specialty.

Where. Omaha, Council Bluffs, Bellevue, Papillion, La Vista are all included — no travel charge. Further out, small travel fee.

What you DON’T pay for

Booking fees (lol no)
Hidden surcharges
Travel inside the metro
A sales pitch (I’d rather just talk to you like a person)

Why no price list on the website?

Honest reason: it’d either undersell some events or scare people off whose event would actually be on the cheaper end. A real quote takes 60 seconds and is way more accurate.

What to have ready when you call

The faster I can quote you:

Date + time
Location (neighborhood is fine)
How many people
What kind of event
Roughly how long

That’s it. I’ll give you a real number basically immediately.

Try me out for free first

If you’re not even sure you want a balloon artist, the easy move is to come see what I do. I’m regularly at:

🍝 Spaghetti Works — Old Market
🍕 Zio’s Pizzeria — Old Market (1109 Howard St)

Grab dinner, see if I’m there, get a free balloon. If you like what you see, book me. If not, you got dinner.

Most events book 2–4 weeks out, so don’t sit on it if you’ve got a date in mind!
