Event Planning Considerations

Things to plan - and know - before booking a performance.
  • Date & Time of event, and Duration of performance.
  • Location - If the event is to take place outdoors, is there a backup plan in case of inclement weather? This is particularly important for balloon-twisting events, as rain (balloons pop if they get wet) - or strong winds (nearly impossible to shape/twist in the wind) - will put an end to outdoor balloon work.
  • Length of Time for Booking - How Much Time Will be Needed.
    One of the things to consider when planning your event and looking to incorporate a balloon twister, is the amount of time that will be needed to provide balloon animals/figures for everyone attending your event.
    • Obviously the most important factor is the number of children that will be present: 5 children, or 25 children, or 50 children, or 100 children will all need significantly different amounts of time for balloons to be created for everyone.
    • The amount of time needed also depends in part on the types of balloon animal/figures that are made. Each balloon creation takes it's particular amount of time: some designs may only take a minute or two (examples: swords, monkeys, butterflies), while other designs may take 3 or 4 minutes (examples: superheros, mermaids, roses), and other designs can take several minutes (examples: princesses, fairies, unicorns) to complete. On average, considering a general mix of faster & slower creations, roughly 10-20 balloon animals can be made per hour.
    • Also remember that a certain amount of time is spent in speaking with each child to identify what kind of balloon animal they would like, what balloon colors, and just interacting in general.
  • Allergies - All balloons used in the balloon-twisting designs are made of high-quality, pure, natural latex from rubber tree plants (100% biodegradable). Some individuals are allergic to latex, therefore be sure to advise all event attendees that latex balloons will be present.
  • Photos
    • I respect the privacy of my clients and all guests/attendees. Because most events are private functions - and especially when there are children attending/involved - it is my policy not to take or use photos/recordings from the event in any commercial manner, including my website, unless the client specifically grants such permission.
    • As I state in my various performance packages descriptions, event attendees are free to take unlimited number of photos of me at the event. I specifically grant release to anyone attending the event to photograph/record me for any and all noncommercial purposes.
    • Please note that I have no control over any photos your guests/attendees may take during the event - including pictures of other guests, children, etcetera - nor how your guests may use such photos (such as posting on social media).
