Overview
Hello! I am Antonio Sombrero and I aim to entertain at your special event by making all sorts of animals and objects out of balloons. I have nearly 17 years of experience at fairs, restaurants, schools, carnivals, churches, birthdays, and even wedding receptions. This fascinating and unique entertainment will put smiles of joy on all your guests, young and old alike! I can twist fast and simple, or as time allows more complex requests. But wait...there's more! I supply everything I need, I'm friendly, polite, punctual, and loaded with clean and corny jokes! So what are you waiting for? Book me now before someone else gets me first! Thanks and hope to see you soon.

Antonio is wonderful. He arrived to our school carnival on time and was ready to go when the kids started trickling in (and then pouring in.) He kept the line moving but didn’t rush. The kids loved his creations and I heard several of them asking parents if they could get another balloon. A success! 🎈

April 22, 2026Kids loved it!
Antonio was so great for my son’s first birthday, he set up his table right away and the kids got in a line and were very excited to pick their balloon shape. He brought great energy to the party!

April 6, 2026So Fun!
We had an amazing experience with Antonio. 200 people in attendance and the line never exceeded 5 kids. He was super fast and made all the kids happy! Thank you for coming to Broken Top Club!

November 25, 2025Amazing! Fanciest Balloon Art I've Seen
The kids LOVED Tony! His balloons were so artistic and definitely above and beyond the typical balloon animals you see. He was wonderful and so great with everyone. I highly recommend him and would use him for any events in the future. This was a non-profit free community event. He handle the line of kids waiting really well and kept them engaged.

September 25, 2025A highlight of our family event!
A highlight of our family event - lots of delighted kiddos after spending time with Antonio, walking around showing off their awesome creations. The ladybug bracelets and alien hats were amazing!

What to expect
Please expect a line and plan accordingly.
I wear a Sombrero and Hawaiian vest to look festive and professional.
I normally stand in one location with my small folding table and gear.
I supply all of my own gear and equipment except for cover. If precipitation cover is required please request it in advance.
I am always polite and respectful to all humans.
I tell funny, clean, quirky, and corny, jokes as I interact with guests.
I never tell dirty jokes or use innuendo type humor.
I NEVER make "R" rated balloons, even upon request. You can always feel safe knowing that embarrassing or inappropriate balloons will not be made by me.
About
Antonio Sombrero brings 15 years of balloon twisting experience to every event. Born and raised in the great NW, Antonio started twisting balloons as a ministry and the passion to bring smiles to everyone he meets began. "It's almost magical when I turn a balloon into a cute animal and a person's face changes into smiles and amazement!" says Antonio. His wife of 30 years and their two daughters fully support the adventure balloons have brought to them. "I have no plans to ever stop bringing joy to everyone" Antonio adds, " in fact I'm constantly pushing myself to even greater balloon heights."
Additional booking notes
Expect a line of people. I have a small, folding table that I set my gear on and soon a long line will form. Please allow room for this. I also must have cover in even the slightest of precipitation due to the fact that the balloons will become too slippery to work with, as well as artwork becomes impossible, as they get wet.
The quality of balloon creations varies by the time allotted and the number of guests requesting balloons. The more time I'm given, the better balloons I am allowed to make.
Thank you
