June 2, 2026The Best balloon twister!
We’ve had PhilUP Balloons at our events for the past two years, and he has been absolutely amazing every time! Families look forward to seeing him, and the kids are always so excited to show off their balloon creations. It’s impossible not to smile when you see the joy he brings to everyone.
He is great with kids, incredibly talented, and always one of the most popular attractions at our events. He has quickly become a tradition that our community looks forward to each year. We can’t recommend him enough!

April 30, 2026The best of the best!
This is our fourth year hiring PhilUP for CarniVike at CSU, and he continues to exceed expectations every time! He takes the time to connect with each student, making sure they receive a creation they truly want. His work is consistently impressive and remains one of the highlights of the event. Thank you, PhilUP, for your kindness and hard work year after year!

We used PhilUp Balloons for second time for our Trunk or Treat event. We could not be happier with him and the service he provides. He is wonderful with kiddos and parents alike! Our families rave about him and so do we! We will continue to use him any chance we get! Thank you again for a wonderful time!

September 14, 2025Perfect for kids party
We hired PhilUp Balloons for my daughter’s third birthday. He was great with the kids and really cared about figuring out the perfect balloon for the birthday girl. Also very responsive in communicating with us prior to the event. Would hire him again.
