We were planning on throwing a Jurassic Park themed birthday party for my 3 year old. We reached out to Ilene through yelp with our requirements. She was very responsive and came back to us with a quote and design for our specific requirement. She even had example pictures which really helped in finalizing the design. On the day of the event, Ilene came on time and got to work right away. She meticulously decorated the backdrop and the garland. She also helped us hang our custom sign on the backdrop. Everyone at the party loved the balloon decor. Would definitely recommend Ilene. read more

Happy Garlands did an amazing arch to one of our friends party. They came the night before to set it up. Very professional and super quick. This beautiful arch sustained many kids playing around trying to grab some balloons here and there. It was super hot and sunny this day above 85F The quality of the balloons held so well. They didn't pop due to heat. Arch was also laying on the very hot artificial grass and was not affected. Way to go Ilene. I highly recommend her read more

Happy Garlands has done two of our major life/family events and another for a close family friend. Ilene is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

Posting another review as we've used Happy Garlands for multiple events, including my baby shower as well as my cousins baby shower and multiple of my friends special events including birthdays and gender reveal parties. What I love is each arch is unique for each event! You can also check out their Instagram for more design ideas, but even if you find something online you like, they can use that as a framework and make it better. The arches are very sturdy and really withstand a lot of conditions especially outdoors with wind or kids around trying to grab the balloons. Ilene the head ballon archist can also incorporate any other items you might want like backdrops and other decor and I really appreciate how flexible she is to coordinate with. Will definitely continue using happy garlands for future events, God willing!! read more

Happy Garlands (Ilene) did all of the decor of my baby shower luncheon back in October 2023. She was AMAZING to work with and we got so many compliments on the decor (some guests even said it was the cutest baby shower decor they had seen). The theme was "We Can Bearly Wait" and it turned out so adorable! Ilene was so responsive and awesome to work with, and from the moment I messaged her about my initial ideas for decor she was quick to respond with several photos and ideas. She was super professional, she arrived early to set everything up, and she followed up multiple times throughout the process to ensure we were happy with the design and service. For anyone looking for design/decor services, I highly recommend Ilene from Happy Garlands! We will definitely be working with her again for future events. read more

I had a last minute order for a "simple" balloon arch. Ilene responded quickly via Yelp and we were able to work out the details within a day. On the day of my party, she was very prompt and quick in setting up. The balloons were everything I wanted with such a reasonable price. My husband was not a fan of the idea of a balloon arch but after he saw it, he was thoroughly impressed and told me to keep her number for any future needs we may have. That means a lot coming from my husband! We will definitely reach out to Ilene again. She is quick to respond and responsive through the whole process. Her work is neat, clean, and she's very efficient during setup. read more

Who knew balloons could make you feel so inflated with joy. My daughter was graduating and I wanted her to have a special photo shoot so I reached out to Happy Garlands via Instagram. Her work is phenomenal really puts us non creatives to shame. The pricing options are more than reasonable and the delivery and attention to detail, I wouldn't go elsewhere after working with HG.
