So, you have to represent your company and you have so much to prepare for your products, have you thought about how much you need to take to build your site to stand out from the other 999 vendors?  Wouldn’t it be wonderful to make a phone call and have your site designed to your colors with a logo and dividers and they are easily transported and disassembled without renting a convoy!  Balloons have the capabilities to make walls, backdrops, transform and define an area… and we don’t mean just arches.  There are so many shapes and designs and we would love to explore the possibilities of making you stand out in a crowd.  This is definitely not your normal booth, you will love it and it will be impressive and memorable…. after all….who doesn’t want to be that booth…..”Head down this row to the booth with the awesome, unbelievable balloon sculpture….”  It is the booth that sets the standard for everyone else.  Here are just a few small samples….. the ideas are limitless…. call us and we will talk. 

A different Heart Arch

This spring has been busy and fun bringing balloons to many of our favorite clients so to keep the words short and the entertainment high we will share a few fun pictures.

Balloon Caricatures are fun to do and add value to your event.  Here are a few photos from a Breakfast of Champion’s event that had caricatures of different careers featured. This is a lovely idea for Bar Mitzvahs, Birthday Parties or Weddings too.  If you want to see your guests smile, suprise them with “Lootles”.

NYC has a special place in our hearts.  There are some really great balloon twisters there and they were instrumental in opening our eyes to the possibilities of balloons if you were willing to invest the time and education to continually improve your art.  The price of good balloons does not come cheap or easy….but then anything worth having is never cheap or easy.  It takes hours of practice and money to travel to classes that will make you stand out in your community.  We have just returned from another one of those golden opportunities.  Classes with Don Caldwell (a.k.a. Buster Balloon) who is known world-wide as a Top Balloon Artist.  We spent a day learning about faces, how to create, how to engineer, what to do…. what not to do…..

This class was definitely an artistic class that helps you to use your creativity to come up with creations to fit the look you are trying to create.  We saw Elvis, a little girl, a few monsters, an old man and some ghosts come to life.  Now we are back home building, creating and using those classes to improve our creations.  Wow…. the possibilities are endless!  Education is the key to improving yourself, no matter what field you choose to stand out in.  I would not want a doctor who has barely slipped by with minimal classes and has never had any continuing education to be in charge of any upcoming surgeries….. don’t let your parties be influenced by just anyone who can blow up a balloon!  Our customers recognize and appreciate quality and we will continue to “WOW” and impress the clients and guests with the BEST!

Thank you for supporting us and allowing us to serve you with our BEST!

Who doesn’t love a party, and a party with AWESOME balloons is PHENOMENAL, MEMORABLE and FABULOUS!  Do you remember what was on your birthday cake last year, how about 2 years ago?  While we can’t tell you that,  we can tell you that if you ask any of our previous guests what the balloon creations where at our last parties they will be able to tell you several of them and they might be able to tell you what was on the cake because of the balloons!  That’s what happens when you dare to be different and hire professional balloon artists to enhance your party! We don’t use dime store balloons, pumps or entertainment.  We believe that our clients and their guest lists are impressive and we bring sculptures that just may steal the show from the guest of honor….(we are sorry, but we will send the spotlight back  with their show-stopping large sculpture that was customised to the guest of honor’s wishes)

Call NOW to book your next party and begin making memories that LAST!

How can you make a fun event more beautiful?  Add balloons.  They come in every shape, size and color you can imagine.  We customize your pieces to accent your event.  Last weekend we had a fun birthday party and the centerpieces were cupcakes and ice cream sundaes with ice cream cone columns.  Definitely a sweet theme for a sweet someone!  This was for a 40th birthday but works well for childrens parties, anniversaries or any other fun events.  When we do decor you are able to concentrate on other issues to make sure your event goes smoothly.   

Enjoy a few photos and imagine your event with balloons.  Contact Us Now and We’ll Help You Awe Your Clients and Guests!

We have heard all types of terms for what we do.  Of course, there are clowns that do balloons, we are not clowns.  Then there are street buskers who are doing quick balloons, (swords, 1 balloon dogs, here’s a heart).  Often you’ll see them at fairs or maybe at the park. We love the art of balloons and creating multiple balloon shapes that are an amazing production…. both during the construction and at the completion.

We’ve been called balloon tyers, which strikes me as comical.   Balloon artist or artiste….is our preferred title.  We create art that uses balloons as the medium.  We have fun doing it and try to make it fun for our audience too.  Sometimes it takes the form of storytelling where we engage our audience by finding a few volunteers to participate with large balloon sculptures.  These sculptures are usually created before the show.  Sometimes it is a balloon show that is a production of fun.  We love to leave you with a message and memories of a good time….and awesome balloons!

We have created balloon sculptures during events where the guests are dining and we are roving, a good option for a wedding.  We have created scultpures at Alzheimer Units, birthday parties, family reunions, Christmas parties, Easter Egg Hunts, Open Houses, in Model Homes, at the Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day Parade,  during Rachel Ray Events, festivals, Sunday School Parties, Mardi Gras Parties at trade shows…. at the airport…. on the airplane, in China, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic; in Las Vegas, Boston, Nashville, Phoenix,  and Manhattan!

Balloons bring smiles, laughter and memories!  Where can we twist is almost as complex as asking what we can make.  The easy answer would be…. we don’t make porcupines and we don’t twist under the sea!  Everything else is pretty much open, it is fun to be challenged!  The next time you see someone making balloons….. ask for a surfing penguin…. or an ice cream cone hat…. or…… I’m sure you have a good imagination….so put it to work!  Our balloon art is a work of HEART…. we love what we do and we think you will too!

What makes a good balloon artist?  We believe that education is a huge factor and what a busy year it was at Trist’n Shout.  January started out with Diamond Jam in Phoenix, Arizona and a 2nd place win in competition.  February was an international convention in Boston chocked full of classes with the best balloon artists in the world!  April was decor school with the guy who invented the term….”deco-twister”.  Then going through a busy season up to November when more decor classes with international balloon decorators.  We created a floor to ceiling stained glass window for a formal dinner event guided by Guido from Holland.  This guy is truly amazing!

2009 has already brought classes in Vegas with world-renowned magician, Jeff McBride!  We are looking forward to an exciting year as we bring all of this education to our customers in the form of art that is unmatched by our competition.  If you are looking to stand out….. we can certainly help you attain that.  When you expect only the best….. Trist’n Shout is the only one to call.
