Thank you for having me at your alumni BBQ. Look forward to seeing you guys soon!

We have hired Next Level Balloons two years in a row now, for our sons birthday. Brad is an amazing artist. He is kind, affordable, and patient with many screaming kids. Joyful screams I assure you. By the end of the party, the venue is swimming in balloons. Kids leave smiling, with handfuls of awesome creations. One child even said, ‘this was a dream come true’!
We will continue to hire Brad every year, until balloon animals are no longer ‘cool’. As far as I am concerned, they are Always cool. Thanks Brad! It’s always amazing!

Brad was professional and fun with the children. I am very happy that I chose him for my daughters birthday party. Not only was he good but affordable as well. We already are thinking about using him next year or maybe even for something else. Pleasant experience.

Brad came to help out our Narwhal and Jelly themed birthday party. He made amazing Narwhal and Jelly balloons just like the characters in the books!!! Kids had a blast with his amazing butterfly wands, bow and arrow, swords and helmets. What a great idea to have an amazingly skilled balloon twister for any occasions. We couldn't ask for more!

The party was great and so were the kids! Thank you for having me!
-Brad
We had Brad come make balloon creations for our daughters third birthday party. It was a November party (cold), inside our somewhat cramped home so I was nervous it would be chaotic but it was great fun. Brad was great with the kiddos and his balloon animals were very impressive. We loved being able to have kids take home personalized gifts rather than standard goodie bags. Brad was also flexible and willing to extend from 1 hour to 1.5-this meant a lot because I was worried about finding a vendor willing to stay less than two hours. It was our favorite birthday party to date!
Brad was very friendly with all of the kids and made some seriously incredible balloons!! He was a hit all night at our Fall Festival as well as at our Park day. We look forward to having him again!
Response from Brad James Balloons:
Camilla,
It was my pleasure to attend your Fall Festival, thank you for having me back. I look forward to working with you again in the future!
-Brad
Michael hardly moved from his spot as the kids swarmed him and enjoyed every minute of his creativity. We were very impressed with his wonderful personality and skill. Would highly recommend him for future events that would love an energetic and fun balloon twister!! :)
Response from Brad James Balloons:
Abigail,
Thank you for letting Michael and Next Level Balloons be a part of your birthday party. We work hard to impress!
-Brad
Next Level Balloons was amazing at our event. Both the adults and all of the children had a blast at our BBQ event.
Response from Brad James Balloons:
Mao,
The BBQ was a pleasure to attend. Thank you for having me, I always do my best!
-Brad
Very punctual and easy to get along with the children and the adults present. The children loved the balloons and if one popped, he was willing to fix it. Creative and worked well with the other party artist.
He had an array of colored balloons which was helpful for the range of children in attendance from one year to 11. I would recommend him again.
Response from Brad James Balloons:
Valeria,
Cristian is one of the best! Thank you for letting us be a part of your birthday celebration!
-Brad
I heard nothing but good things. Super nice and friendly. Great with the kids with really fun balloon figures.
Response from Brad James Balloons:
Denise,
Thank you! Wish you could have been there, it was a great event. Maybe next time!
-Brad
Michael was a huge hit at our event! When the request was, "I don't know what I want, just make it awesome" he totally delivered. Kids loved him and his creations are super fun.
Brad arrived on time, and entertained 12 children for an hour straight. The entire time he was patient, fun and professional. I highly recommend him for any event.
Response from Brad James Balloons:
Adria,
Your party was a pleasure to attend and all of the girls were great! See you next time!
-Brad
Brad - Thank you for sharing your talents of balloon design with the party of our 15 kiddos! Each of them just loved their balloons and had lots of fun watching you create them so quickly. You were super to work with which made the planning of the party easy. You're great with kids! Thank you for bearing the 100 degree heat too that we had that day! :)
Response from Brad James Balloons:
Holly,
No problem. The heat didn't stop anyone from having a blast! Thank you for feeding me too :)
-Brad
We had Brad Grunbaum at my nephew's 4th birthday party. He was a hit! All the kids got their balloons they wanted. He was on time, friendly and professional. We would definitely recommend him to our friends again.
Response from Brad James Balloons:
Walleska,
I enjoyed making fun balloon creations for your family and friends, everyone was great!
Thanks again for having me.
-Brad
Our balloon twister, Christian, was absolutely great! Very pleasant and fun - kids enjoyed all the stuff he made for them. Even adults were engaged in the activity. All guests commented on what a great idea it was to have a ballon twister service. For a 3 yo's birthday party it was perfect! Thank you!
Response from Brad James Balloons:
Olga,
I am glad everything went well, we do our best! Thank you for letting Cristian be a part of the special birthday party.
-Brad
Brad was punctual, friendly, professional, approachable, and talented. No crazy costume or performance personality, just a nice guy with amazing balloon skills. Look no further, you've found your balloon artist!
Response from Brad James Balloons:
Ashley,
Attending your awesome, double birthday party was my pleasure. Thank you for the feedback, it is much appreciated.
-Brad
Brad did an outstanding job crafting unique & fun balloon creations! He was incredibly patient while handling multiple requests from 20 9/10 year-olds. He always had a smile for the children & was a pleasure to have at my daughter's 10th Birthday!
Response from Brad James Balloons:
Jennifer,
Thank you for letting me be a part of your birthday party. I try and do my best!
-Brad
Vendor was professional and very responsive to emails. Will hire again!
Response from Brad James Balloons:
Cristina,
I do my best! Look forward to hearing from you soon.
-Brad
We were really pleased with Brad's performance. He was great with the young children at our Grandson's one year old birthday party. He was easy going, but engaged well with the children and adults. His balloon creations were unique and creative, and everyone enjoyed watching him. He made sure everyone who wanted a balloon got one. We had 80 people at the open house/ birthday party, and he kept everyone entertained, while still being able to visit with each other. He was the hit of the party, and many people asked for his business card. He was professional ,friendly, and polite. We would highly recommend Brad, and have him again.
Response from Brad James Balloons:
Shannon,
The party was great, thank you for having me. Everyone was polite and a pleasure to twist balloons for. Hope to see you again soon!
-Brad
Brad has been working out events for three years and does not disappoint. He is wonderful with the kids and is the star of the show at our Easter Egg hunt in April and our client appreciation picnic in August. Thank for a wonderful time!
Response from Brad James Balloons:
Jordan,
It is a pleasure to twist at your events, they are always a success. I look forward to seeing you all in August with some warm weather!
-Brad
Everyone had a great time and Brad is a fantastic balloon entertainer! I have never seen such elaborate creations made from balloons. The kids LOVED them! We would hire him again in a heartbeat.
Response from Brad James Balloons:
Amy,
Your fundraiser was awesome! Thank you for having me. See you soon.
-Brad
Brad did an awesome job. The kids loved balloons and the party was great
Response from Brad James Balloons:
Guillermo,
Thank you for having me at Henry's 1st birthday. Everyone at the party was patient and polite.
P.S. Thank you for the tip, it is much appreciated!
-Brad
I hired Brad for my daughter 2nd birthday party and let me just say i didn't even have to entertain the kids once he arrived. All the activities that i had planned for the kids to do, never got done because they were so amused by "the balloon guy" He made some of the best balloon art i have ever seen even the adults wanted one made to take home.Every kid left with a balloon and i was very satisfied with his work. Very nice friendly guy. The party was amazing because of him. Thanks
Response from Brad James Balloons:
Dominique,
The balloon guy has become my second name! Thank you for letting me help take your birthday party to the next level!
-Brad
We hired Brad for our son's 1st birthday party and he did an amazing job!!! All the kids loved his work, they were all entertained and I had a party for a little over 100 people (around 30 kids). Thank you Brad and I will certainly recommend him for future events. All the kids had at least 2 or 3 balloons. :)
Response from Brad James Balloons:
Ashlyn,
Thank you for the positive feedback! Your party was awesome and a pleasure to attend. Thank you for the recommendations!
-Brad
We are an assisted living community and each Halloween host a party for residents and families. Brad added such a fun element that we will be looking to have him back!
Response from Brad James Balloons:
Linda,
I had a great time with the community, especially making balloons for the slightly older kids! See you soon!
-Brad
Brad is simply amazing! He twisted all the creative balloon arts and animals at my son's 1st birthday party this last saturday (11-12-16). He came to the event on time and stayed until she made sure that all kids had at least a round of twisted balloons, and also fulfilled some balloon requests of the adults. He even made a few for guest who couldn't attend.. which I was able to give to them a day later with them still looking as if he had just made them.
Brad is very friendly, professional and super creative. He mingled very well with everyone in the party, including kids and adults. His price is very reasonable. I would highly recommend Next Level Balloons to be the addition to your upcoming parties without a doubt he'll for sure have a repeat customer from myself!
Ps- Ask for an alien balloon or a crown with jewels. Either way whatever you ask for you'll be very pleased.
Thank you Brad.
Response from Brad James Balloons:
Brandy,
Thank you for the excellent review! I really appreciated the hospitality that I received from your family. Hope to see you soon!
-Brad
On time, even stayed longer than planned. We all had such a a great time, can't wait to book him again!
Really gave the kids a day to remember.
Thanks so much!!
Response from Brad James Balloons:
NK,
I always do my best to go above and beyond! See you again soon!
-Brad
Thanks Brad for being professional and make my son's birthday party a hit. Will recommend my friends to you!
Response from Brad James Balloons:
Pearlyn,
Jett's party was great and everyone was wonderful! Thank you for having me. Also, thanks for the recommendations!
-Brad
Brad did an awesome job making every child at our client event feel valued and included, taking their special orders and quickly turning them into a fun and interactive balloon treat! He was positive, pleasant to work with, and made every second of his time with us count! We appreciated his professionalism and hope to use him again for other events!
Response from Brad James Balloons:
Hana,
Thank you for having me at the Homes by Crane client event. I look forward to seeing you in the future!
-Brad
Brad was the perfect addition to my 5 year olds bday party. We had 25 kids and I was nervous about keeping them all busy. Brad dazzled them all with his balloon creations and kept them plenty entertained for the entire time he was there. He was patient and friendly and seems to really enjoy the kids and balloons. I cannot say enough good things. I will be hiring him again for sure!!
Response from Brad James Balloons:
Patti,
Thank you for having me and for the hot dogs and cake! I look forward to seeing you soon!
-Brad
Brad arrived early, was very professional and interacted well with the kids. Everyone was very happy with his creations and he helped make a memorable birthday celebration for our son.
Response from Brad James Balloons:
Dana,
Carter's birthday was great, thank you for having me! See you guys soon at The Old Spaghetti Factory!
-Brad
We hired Brad at Next Level Balloons for a school picnic. He worked quickly and efficiently, while still paying close attention to each child's particular requests. We hope to hire him back next year, nothing but rave reviews from parents and kiddos alike!
Brad is talented, polite, and patient. The kids loved him, as did the adults. His balloon twisting was stellar! He had a smile on his face, even on the hottest of days, and a positive attitude. Thanks Brad! We'll see you in the future.
Response from Brad James Balloons:
Sarah,
Thank you for having me at Betty's birthday party, it was a blast! Luckily we had great shade, water balloons and squirt guns to keep us cool.
Hope to see you soon!
-Brad
He was very patient with the kids, never complained and stayed until the very end. The kids loved it!
Response from Brad James Balloons:
Maria,
Thank you so much for having me at Sunrise's carnival. Everyone was great and a pleasure.
See you next year!
-Brad
Brad made our 2 yr-old's party such a blast. From start to finish, he was flexible, engaging, great with kids of all ages (even adults), and very professional. He made the scheduling and booking process very easy and called a day ahead to confirm everything. We have had the pleasure of seeing him at an Easter Party and a School Carnival, so I have witnessed him in various environments and am consistently impressed. At our small-ish gathering of about 30-40 people with about 15 kids, he showed his ability to bring a party to life. He was also willing to pre-make a few balloons for kids that didn't arrive in time. He stayed for 2 hours and was busy the whole time. I'd say OVERbook, rather than playing it safe since kids tend to pop balloons and get sad. He's there to make another one and is extremely patient. I'm not sure how he does it with all those little ones breathing down his neck! Highly recommend and would book again in an instant.
Response from Brad James Balloons:
Cari,
Thank you so much for your feedback. I had a blast at your party and hope to see you at future events in Corvallis!
-Brad
Brad arrived to my 3 year old birthday party on time and did an amazing job. He literally never took a break and was extremely patient with all the kiddos asking for different baloons compositions. He kept a smile on his face and positive attitude. I recommend him to everyone who wants a fun twist to their party, kids or not!
Brad came to our daughter's birthday party at Sky High and he stole the show. There were 24 girls at this party and they were all so enthralled with Brad's balloon talents - they barely paid attention to their cupcakes! Plain and simple... Brad is awesome! I highly recommend him - he is affordable, professional, on time and engaging. His balloon creations are beyond any I've ever seen!
This was our first time using Next Level Balloons for our annual Spring Fling event, but we were completely satisfied. Throughout the day, there was always a huge line up of kids waiting their turn, and he stayed a little late to make sure everyone got what they wanted. We will definitely be using them for future events!
Brad did his usual fantastic job for another event for our members. This is the fourth event he has done past year and a half and once again entertained our members with his creative balloons. He is very personable and knows how to work the room. I would highly recommend his services.
Brad is awesome. Great personality and he can make just about anything from balloons. From Monkey in a banana tree to pirate swords, the kids went away from the event with a wonderful prize.
My family and I went to the Spaghetti Factory in Corvallis for my niece's 10th birthday in February 2015. Brad made her night! He was entertaining, energetic and kept the whole table, both kids and adults, occupied the whole time. The next experience we had with him was at our client appreciation party in August 2015. We still have people who rave about him! He did an awesome job and again entertained everyone! Great job.
We had Brad come to our daughters wedding for two hours. He arrived early with a big smile and lots of energy. Brad went to work making the most awesome creations , really fast and very interactive. Guests of all ages enjoyed the balloon gift. Brad worked past the two hours and was a great addition to our party.
Life Community Church uses Next Level Balloons for ALL of our family events. We always book him for an hour and end up keeping him for over 2 hours because his line is SO LONG! He is kind, friendly, and easy going. Adults love interacting with him while they wait, he answers every kid question that comes his way....oh and by the way his balloons are ridiculously awesome! If I could give 10 out of 5 stars I would.
We hired Next Level Balloons as part of our Artslandia Kids Magazine Launch party. He was one of multiple activities that day. The line at this booth never ended (in a good way) and was even more popular than Salt & Straw (and if you know Salt & Straw - you know what I mean)! Worth the investment.
Brad can make almost anything out of balloons. The children had an awesome time. He made a monkey in a tree with bananas to warm up the crowd and was swarmed by the children. Many of them had balloons that matched their face-painting. He was entertaining, courteous and made everyone feel welcome. He even repaired some broken treasures.
We recently hired Brad to work at our luau. He had bunch of children ranging in ages from 2 to 12 years old at the party. Everyone enjoyed watching Brad inflate his balloon creations. Many young children stood in line completely entertained by Brad. He engaged with the children and had a fantastic attitude. His balloons were really impressive and lasted for several days after the event.
I would definitely book him for another luau or birthday party.
Brad was on time, professional. Made amazing balloons and everyone at my party was blown away with his talent
We were pleased to have Brad twist balloons at our company picnic (over 200 in attendance) - where the line of kiddos was never-ending. He was patient and kind for every child (even when asking for multiple balloons) and always had a smile on his face. He even made a point to make sure some of the adults had wrist corsage balloons too ! Thank you Brad for making our event fun for all.
Reliable and Entertaining! He not only entertained the kids, but the adults as well. He made sure everyone got a cool balloon creation and interacted with them too. He was open to all kinds of requests and he delivered some spectacular balloon art! Do not hesitate to hire this gentleman, he will make your event a hit.
Brad is one of the most professional, outgoing, friendly, creative artists that I have the pleasure of working with. I look forward to having him at more of our events. Everyone at the party commented on his talent with the kids, and balloons. We will be inviting him back again next summer for our company gathering.
We recently hired Brad to make balloon animals and superheroes for our son's 5th birthday party. It was such a hit! Brad was on time, energetic, wonderful with the kids and his creations are amazing. Every kid went home so happy with a balloon figure/animal of their choice. We highly recommend Brad for any party- kids to adult.
Our party included about 16-18 kids and Brad was able to keep the full attention and involvement of all the kids for 1-1/2 hours. I have tried other forms of entertainment for my parties and this by far was the best. During this time each kid was able to get at least 3 animals/objects made and all kids and parents were impressed. Guaranteed to use again.
Brad was organized and prompt on his commitments. He was a pleasure to work with in setting up this event. He was accommodating when I had to make some changes at the last minute. Will certainly recommend him for future events. The most important thing is that the children love him and if their happy...we're happy!
The kids really enjoyed having balloon animals and creations at the school carnival. It was fun and exciting for them. Next Level Balloons did a great job!
