Professional and fun!

Terry was the balloon twister for our walk this past weekend. He was on time and professional. He set up his own area and cleaned up after himself. The families enjoyed him and it was a big hit! We will definitely have him back next year!

Creative & wonderful flower arrangement

My Aunt recently passed away. She owned a balloon decorating a shop for decades. I thought it fitting to get her flower balloons made for her service. Terry did a beautiful job. Everyone loved her balloon flowers.

Double Party

We had Terry the Balloon Man come to our children’s joint party and it was the most amazing time ever! He was amazing with the kids, and I never even could of imagined the things he can create. He made Hei Hei from Moana just by looking at a photo on a phone! Stinky Dog and Buzz Lightyear were made for the birthday boy and girl and they were spectacular!!
I will definitely be booking again, huge hit!

The Balloon Man was so great!
He interacted with the kids and parents.

Fantastic Service!

Terry was wonderful with our staff and our residents. Everyone loved his balloon art, his juggling, his yo-yo tricks, and most of all...his warm smile. Terry truly showed love, compassion and joy with everyone he came into contact with. You would've thought he had known everyone for years. His services are highly recommended and we will be using him again in the future. Thanks Terry!

The Balloon Man is patient, kind and creative!

Terry Kelley is awesome with kids of all ages. He is patient even as the line of those waiting for one of his special creations draws ever closer to his personal space and his colorful belt of never ending balloon fringe. We lost count of the size and variety of balloon characters that he can make and I don't believe that I once heard him say 'I don't know how to make that'. The Balloon Man will be the hit of your event.

There is no comparison, no competition. Simply, amazing!

The greatest one man show on Earth. I have never seen a more amazing person in all of my life. He is truly something special and is a definite must for any party or business gathering. Children and adults are truly amazed by his creations. Delivered with a powerful, positive message that is inspiring and admirable. I encourage anyone to visit his FaceBook and see photos, prepare to be enlightened.
