Funtastic Balloon Creations Will Help You Celebrate Your Next Event

9/19/2019

 
     Those who have been frequent visitors to Pinterest or Instagram over the last ten years realize that balloon installations and decorations are nothing new. However, their popularity and the quality craftsmanship required by balloon artists to deliver them for special occasions continue to grow.
     A splash of color in the form of a balloon column, archway, or famous character may be just the right touch to draw someone’s attention to events that range from weddings to birthdays. People express their joy through balloons due to their three-dimensional eye-catching appeal. It shouldn’t surprise anyone then Funtastic Balloon Creations of Grain Valley promises “to put the pop in your next event.”
     Randy and Delora Harbin started Funtastic Balloon Creations fourteen years ago to bring the best custom balloon services to the Kansas City Metro area and beyond. From Columbia to Olathe, their business can provide the right solution for any event. Their goal is to treat your event as though it as one of their own in trying to obtain a high level of customer satisfaction.
     “We do a lot of balloon bouquets for Valentine’s Day, Weddings, Anniversaries, Hospital Get Wells, and Birthdays. Balloon columns and arches are also popular along with décor depending on the time of year. There’s a balloon for just about any occasion,” Delora Harbin said.
     “Balloons bring a smile to people’s faces. Bright colors, shapes, and print allow people to interact with balloon’s and the occasion. Their popularity continues to expand.”
     That popularity has manifested itself in balloon drops becoming more of a norm for big occasions or parties. The Harbins have been up for the challenge with 9,000 balloons being part of their first drop three years ago. Success through word of mouth has spread leading to Funtastic Balloons doing drops for Labor Day events at the Sprint Center as well as the Missouri Mavericks Hockey Team.
     Funtastic Balloons is not a franchise and the brand has been built from scratch. The Harbins started their passion for what they do working out of their home. Their enjoyment of the community and long-standing customers are why they choose to live and work in Grain Valley.
     Both Randy and Delora are certified balloon artists. They completed a course of study that consists of computer testing as well as hands on assessment to demonstrate the ability to create balloon art accurately. This devotion to their craft has allowed them to offer the highest quality to their customers.
    “Being your own boss is the best part of being a small business owner. It’s not always easy because of the variety of roles you must fulfill. However, the things you do directly benefit your own good and you see the value in what you do. Getting to help people and make them smile is also rewarding,” Harbin said.
     Funtastic Balloons is located at 1103 NW Casey Blvd. in Grain Valley. You may also find them on Facebook, online at www.funtasticballooncreations.com or at 816-598-0690. A visit to the showroom will set your imagination in motion with the endless themes, colors, and shapes you may use to celebrate your next special occasion.
