Good to Know
Answers from our price list and booking terms.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Your event date, the time frame you’d like to reserve, the services you’re interested in and the event address. The quote form asks for all of it in about 2 minutes.
How much does it cost?
Balloon Twisters are $150 per hour (2-hour minimum). Balloon Artist, Face Painting and Glitter Tattoos start at $250 for the first hour. Party packages start at $350. See the full list on the Services page.
Can I add a DJ to a party package?
Yes. Add a Kids DJ to any Party or Game-On package for just $350 (2 hours, regularly $450). DJ bookings can also add the Lighting Upgrade (+$200, 2 party light stands) or the Moving Head Lights Upgrade (+$150, 2 moving head lights that sweep beams across the ceiling in sync with the music, best in a dark room).
Are there travel or extra fees?
Travel fees and holiday charges are quoted separately. There may also be charges for things like parking fees, credit card transactions, rush orders, delivery, setup and specialty materials.
What do your performers need on site?
A parking space 1 block or less from the event. Shows need music, electrical outlet access and about a 10’x10’ performance area. Please place performers away from loud music such as a DJ or live band.
What if it rains?
Outdoor performances go ahead unless there is inclement weather. Please have an alternative location ready in case the weather changes. There are no refunds for weather-related issues.
Can you provide a Certificate of Insurance?
If your venue needs a COI, let us know when you book. COIs require at least 3 business days to process.
How do I pay?
Full payment is due before the event. We accept Zelle (779-220-1193 or 815-245-4458), Venmo (@FBIEntertainment), check (payable to Fantastic Balloon Inventions), PayPal or Square. PayPal and Square add a 3% fee.
What is your cancellation policy?
7 days’ written notice is required to cancel, reschedule or change venues. Changes within 7 days are due in full. Earlier cancellations incur a $100 fee or 10%, whichever is greater, and the rest of the deposit is refunded.
Will Jonathan be at my event?
As best as he can, Jonathan makes a genuine effort to be at your event himself to make sure you get the very best.
