Amazing Decor Specialist

Loretta is a dream to work with! She listened and fully understood our needs. Was able to offer multiple suggestions on how to bring the 80th Birthday Celebration to Life within our budget. Loretta was amazing at helping us with last minute table centerpieces. Her team arrived on time and quietly, efficiently and seamlessly completed set up and take down! Highly recommend Loretta and Exquisite Affairs!

What to expect

The first conversation between myself and the client is crucial. This allows me to customize my services accordingly to the client's vision for their event. Expectations, wants, and budget (this is crucial) are among the many things I ask my clients at initial contact. My goal is to design an event or provide balloon services that exceed expectations.

About

I'm Ekaete, but some know me by my middle name Loretta. I am a long time veteran of the hospitality industry and have worked in numerous places, including hotels, banquet halls, law firms, and the federal government in various positions. I decided to start my event decoration business in 2020, starting with my mom's 70th birthday. I couldn't find a decorator, so decided to try my hand at it, and the rest is history. I've taken numerous classes to improve my design skills, balloon technique, and business acumen. I truly love what I do and that passion exudes in my work whether its balloon garland, a kids' party, or a luxe wedding for 100.

Additional booking notes

Balloon services and event decor prices vary. For drop off balloon decor (columns, grab n go garlands) we normally require a minimum booking of $200 plus delivery. For balloon installations (garlands attached to backdrop, arches, etc.), we require a minimum of $400+.
Each event and balloon design is different and pricing depends on various factors.
