My name is Kayla and I've been a balloonist for 12 years now. I twist the classic balloon animals, swords, and flowers but my specialty includes characters, hats, and off the wall ideas like a gumball machine! You won't be disappointed. Be sure to book enough time we recommend an hour for every 15 to 20 guests for top notch experience. For school groups, large crowds or time accommodations ask about a pretwisted package which includes a large variety of ready made balloons plus a balloonist to twist on site or double the fun and book another balloonist or facepainter. Have a small group of 12 or less kids? Ask about the mini party package. Willing to travel sometimes may include mileage
Our team had a Grand Opening over the past weekend, she was super impressive. Will definitely hire her for future events!!
Did a great job!
Response from Balloon Twisting:
Thank you! I usually don't have my baby with me but it all worked out well and he slept the whole time! It also helped to have extra balloons premade
Kayla, showed up, set up. and went right to work! She made so many fabulous balloons for our party and the children played with the balloons the rest of the day and they all took them home for souvenirs. Kayla was very sweet and pleasant and makes people around her feel at ease. She was hired as a balloon twister but I think she also did a few temporary face stamp tattoos. She added so much to our party and helped to make it a success. I would hire her again in a minute! Thank you Kayla!
Kayla is great! She is a phenomenal balloon artist and can literally make just about anything. She was so considerate of our kids, took her time, and made sure everyone got something they loved. Even the adults commented on how great she was. She is truly talented at what she does and we would recommend her to any and everyone.
Kayla always does a great job! I think this is our 3rd time hiring her and the kids and adults always enjoy her work!
Kayla was great! She is very talented in balloon twisting and has so many fun options. All the kids loved their balloon creations!
Kayla did awesome!
Response from Balloon Twisting:
I'm glad everyone enjoyed it!
Awesome balloon skills! Very patient with the kids and made sure all of them were happy.
We were very impressed with her work and her talent! She was interacting with the kids as well! I would definitely hire her again for a party! My family and friends loved her work
She is awesome. So patient with the kids and does some amazing work. True artist 🎨
We always try to get her do our kids’ parties because she is really the best! Our guests are always impressed by her and want her info! Thank you for coming yesterday! The kids (and the parents) loved everything! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Response from Balloon Twisting:
Thank you 😊
Friendly and very talented
Kayla was very nice and professional. She minded all COVID protocols. She created two or more dozen characters by individual request for children at our party. Her creations are beautiful and fun! I recommend her for any balloon twisting needs and I will definitely request her again.
Great communication. Loved the balloons. Thank you so much.
Kayla was absolutely wonderful to work with ! she was on time and is able to make balloon twists to bring smiles to all the children at our company picnic event. we had a large crowd and she was quick and proficient in her twisting.
Kayla was a pleasure to have at our sons first birthday. It was smaller gathering than I had initially planned so most kids got to get multiple balloon animals. Would definitely recommend her for your next event!
Response from Balloon Twisting:
Thanks fro your review. Glad the rain held off until the end. I think I did just as many adults as I did children :)
Professional and on time! Easy to work with and the kids (and some adults) enjoyed the balloon twisting for the wedding reception.
She was amazing with her work and was great with the kids!
They did such a great job. Both the face painter and balloon artist were talented, great with the kids and organized. I would definitely use again!!
Kayla showed up on time and really wowed both the kids and adults with her balloon designs! Would definitely book with her again!
Professional, fun, and will book again without hesitation for our next birthday party! Thank you for making all the kids so happy!!!
Always great and on time did a awesome job as always she is the best up here honestly you won’t be disappointed
Response from Balloon Twisting:
Thanks again for having us we really appreciate you!
I have met and seen a lot of balloonists but Kayla is the best among all of them! I definitely recommend her. She is very professional, arrives before the exact time of event and tried to finish all the guests’s crazy requests. I will definitely hire her again on my baby’s first birthday!
Response from Balloon Twisting:
Thanks again for booking and for the review. We will see you next year. Give us a call early
She has always been amazing and very communicative and patient with all the craziness that comes with Birthday parties. I definitely recommend her for any event you may need! I know I will continue to use her in the future!
Response from Balloon Twisting:
Thank you! I really appreciate your review
She arrived on time and made the cutest balloons for my daughter’s birthday party. The kids and adults enjoyed her artwork!!!
Kayla made the party for us (a group of 7 and 8 year old's). She was very professional, texted as she was on her way, arrived early and set up quickly. She is very talented and can make any character or animal that is requested. She was great with the children and made my job much easier. She even made me a balloon. I highly recommend her for any party with children! She kept them entertained the whole time. The adults also enjoyed seeing her artistic talent with balloons. She gets 5+ stars from us.
She arrived at the party on time and ready to do her thing. The kids were pleased with her work and they loved every single balloon. I would definitely book again...
If you're looking for a balloon artist, do not look any further and contact Kayla. She's absolutely SO talented and a pleasure to work with! All the guests at our party were so impressed and cannot stop talking about it.
The kids were very happy with the face painting and beautiful balloons. I'll definitely refer her to friends and family.
Response from Balloon Twisting:
Thanks for your review!
Balloon Twisting was the best. Easy to get along with and once given a location to make her masterpieces she was good to go. The kids LOVED it. Worth it and her creations were amazing. Highly recommend.
She did balloons for my daughters birthday and did great. Everyone loved the balloons she made and came back asking for more. Would definitely recommend.
Kayla was awesome! All the kids & adults had a blast! I'm so glad we got her for our son's bday.
Response from Balloon Twisting:
Thanks for reviewing! Hope to see you again. Also I twist at the Chick-fil-A on Military highway from 6 to 7 every Thursday night
We had Kayla at my uncles 50th birthday party and everyone loved her! So much fun! She's awesome and so talented! She made everything we asked from tiaras to minions to Viking hats and so much more she even made a snowglobe headband- yes, it was as awesome as it sounds! we will definitely be using her again and again!
She did an awesome job with face painting but the balloon twisting was the party favorite!!
Response from Balloon Twisting:
Thanks for your feedback!
Kayla was a hit at our Fall Family Festival. Looking forward to have her again next year.
We really enjoyed having Balloon Twisting and Face Painting for my daughter birthday Party (as a package deal).. There Work Performance Were Great. The two ladies were Awesome and Friendly and met the needs of each child.. The Price Was Right As Well :) I would Recommend This Company To Anyone..
I hosted a birthday party for my grandson's fifth birthday and balloon twisting was a big hit. The original person scheduled couldn't make it but the substitute he sent was awesome. She did some complex pieces delighting the kids with action figures, princesses, animals, etc .For the adults she did palm trees, peacocks, bikini clad island dancers and the list goes on! She was a little late due to getting lost, but stayed the full two hours and did not leave until every request was filled! Great job!!
Response from Balloon Twisting:
Hi there thanks for the review it was actually me!
WOW SHE WAS AWESOME WORTH EVERY PENNY VERY PROFESSIONAL WAS EARLY AND MADE SURE THE KIDS ALL GOT SOMTHING WOULD RECOMMEND HER TO ANYONE GREAT JOB WHAT A ARTIST!!!!
Kayla is professional, fast, and very creative. Her demeanor was wonderful. She made a motorcycle specifically for our themed event. The children and parents loved her. We received many compliments about her talent as well, as people saying they would love to have her at their event. I will definitely book Kayla again for an event. She was wonderful!
Price Range: $85 and up
Gig Length: 60 - 480 minutes
Kids, adults, and teens all gather round or line up to request balloons or face painting designs and watch their requests take form. For balloons and face paints allow about 3-4 minutes per child. We highly recommend booking one artist for every activity for shorter wait times, better designs, and a better experience over all. If you have a large crowd reaching close to 200 or you want wait times to be cut in half, ask about a adding on pre-made balloons when booking your balloon artist or book two balloon artist if available. I even offer balloon decorating services like arches, columns, and center pieces. There is also the option to order hand made balloon sculpture and balloon flower bouquets to be delivered to that special someone. I also offer glitter tattoos as an add on to any party package
I offer a mini party package which includes 1 entertainer to do face painting and balloons which serves about 10 kids or less.
we only need a small space and maybe a table.
