This review is long overdue, but I had to share! I called several balloon companies and was getting…read morenervous about pulling this off in such a short time--until I connected with Megan at North Shore Balloon Decor. From our very first conversation, I felt completely at ease. Megan clearly knows her stuff! I signed the contract that same day (or maybe the next) and sent a few emails to confirm details. Every time, she stayed calm and reassured me: "I got this." And she delivered! The team arrived early, set everything up beautifully, and even made tweaks based on my suggestions. Everything turned out perfect. If you want a balloon company that truly knows what they're doing, this is the one. I recommend them hands down--actually, hands and toes down. I wanted an orange balloon arch and got exactly what I asked for.

They offer Beyond great service! I was in a bind, she came through and exceeded my expectations!…read moreThe balloon arch was gorgeous! Better than what we had expected and made a very very well! All the balloons were perfectly circular ( ours didn't have variety in size so this was important! She blew up the balloons and was using an arch that I owned to put put the arch together at my request . my arch had some tape on it from older use, the balloons kept popping ! she knew exactly how to remedy the problem, and fixed it so quick! She is very artistic fast and professional, and sweet and kind too! Do not hesitate for a second, whatever your request is she will fill it beautifully ! North Shore Balloon Decor will be my only Balloon people from now on! Great work, great price !

We had our daughters' wedding at Cafe Brauer. I selected the primary vendors, band, etc. and needed…read morea wedding planner (or so I thought) for "day of" only. Linda came highly recommended. She ended up helping me with so much more (exceptional invites, menus, ceremony program, recommended "CAKE" for wedding cake - excellent). Linda was wonderful in coordinating all the vendors and logistics 'day of' as well! She was extremely helpful, detailed, and an absolute delight to work with! Highly recommend!

It's not just his talent with super fun and surprising balloon characters but his adaptive nature and outstanding personality, engaging everyone at the parties/events. I would absolutely recommend him for all types of occasions : private or big birthday parties, festivals, block parties, - anywhere there will be children!! He is one less thing at your party you need to worry about because he is a sure thing! Truly, he is a whole family favorite!!

Stacey knows how to put together an amazing event . I hired her for my son's recent bar mitzvah and…read moream so glad I did. She has impeccable taste and her attention to detail is remarkable. She is creative, organized, fun and easy to work with. She helped orchestrate the whole night and helped with service set up ( even designed and created our floral arrangements!) and helped with every detail of our celebration. While I knew we would have a fun party, Stacey's ideas and execution from start to finish made our event spectacular. Highly recommend!!!!

We most recently hired Stacey for our daughter's bat mitzvah. From the very first meeting, she was creative, resourceful, and on top of all aspects of the party. Nothing was halfway. Even when I, long since tired of the planning process, declared something "good enough," Stacey came up with something better, a wow-factor that didn't stretch the budget. On the evening of the event, I didn't do a thing. Stacey never stopped moving, never missed a thing, and when it did occur to me to check on things, Stacey beat me to it by showing up with an update. What sets Stacey apart from the myriad event planners on the north shore is her range, adaptability and accessibility. She can do a lovely, refined bridal shower at the country club just as meticulously as a loud, techno party in a loft space. She never makes you feel like you need to spend more or do more than you'd planned. She doesn't push ideas. Stacey's so very fun and easy to work with, such an authentic person, it feels like planning a party with your best girlfriend, the one who knows all the best places and picks out the best centerpieces and has an amazing little source for favors that no one else has used - and is just as excited as you are about making it a great event.

She made the process so much more enjoyable because I knew I could rely on her whenever I had a question. She remained calm, which kept me calm, and always had really good suggestions for how to work with vendors or improve an idea. The day-of, she made everything run so smoothly, and it was a dream that I knew everything would be just as I envisioned with her at the helm. I couldn't recommend her more and am just so thankful that she was our wedding planner!
