What to expect

Balloon twisters from Stretch & Company don't just twist your typical dogs, swords, and flowers, they are artists who can create just about anything you can imagine out of balloons. From cut puppies to amazing sculptures that will wow your customers, our artists will leave you and your guests in awe.

Face painters from Stretch & Company take pride in their art and individuality. Most face painters learn from the same sources and their styles are all very similar, our artists work to come up with their own styles and designs. This is not to say that the others aren't good, but our face painting stands out from the crowd because it's not the same as everyone else's. Our artists take great pride in their art and strive to make each face special for the person being painted.

Our goal is to make you the star of your party for providing balloons and face painting that stands out from the rest and leaves an lasting impression that they will talk about long after the party is over.

When Stretch shows up for photos, he will take the time to make sure you get the best quality photos that capture the personality and highlights of your event, or portraits. Your photos will be posted in an online gallery for viewing and print purchases, and you will also receive a disc in the mail with the post-processed photos.

Stretch the Balloon Dude, a.k.a. Wendell Clendennen, is not just a balloon twister, but a balloon entertainer who will have your children, clients, or party guests laughing and having fun while he’s twisting balloons into works of art that will have them oohing and ahhing in amazement. Stretch is an internationally known, master balloon artist and his balloon designs are not the usual balloon dogs, swords or hats that you get from other balloon twisters, Stretch creates twisted works of art that take balloon twisting to a whole new level of art.

Stretch has been an avid photographer since taking a class in high school. He recently added event and portrait photography to Stretch & Company and also enrolled in The New York Institute of Photography to increase his skills and knowledge of the art of taking photos. Stretch is available for event photography, location portraits, occasion photos (graduation, milestone, etc.), and even pet photography.

Mrs. Stretch provides incredible face painting that will have your party guests lining up to have their faces and arms painted with amazing works of art. From simple and cute to elaborate and incredible, a face painter from Stretch and Company will transform your children, clients, or guests into walking works of art. Our face painters are patient with kids of all ages, and are all artists at heart.
