We had 2 balloon artists from Mind Blowing Balloons for our 130 person baby shower event in San Gabriel on 5/30/26. It was a great hit with all the kids and even the adults. They are very talented and can make just about anything you ask them too, including Spiderman, Shrek, a fishing rod, an octopus, a lightsaber, a ladybug, a princess, Grogu, Stitch, Blackpink merchandise, Pokemon (Pikachu, Charmander, etc). You name it and they will make it! Absolutely incredible team and easy to work with. The best and happiest form of entertainment that works for the whole family. read more

AMAZING!!!! Mike is so great! We saw him at the birthday party of a friend's little boy and knew we'd call him for our next party. When we threw our boys (ages 4 & 6) a superhero party, we knew Mike was a must. His spiderman and Buzz Lightyear blew everyone away. The princesses were huge hits, as were the shark hats. He can make anything & we can't believe how fast he is! It always amazes me how the kids will stop bouncing & running around to wait in line for a balloon. They love it! Mike arrived on time, was polite, and is great with the kids. At least 5 parents asked where we found Mike & how they could contact him. We hope Mike will come back to our next party. The Balloon Dude is a huge hit!!! read more

This guys is awesome!! We luckily ran across him at the Naples restaurant in downtown Disney. He can make all the Disney princesses (which I saw for myself) and they are the best I've ever seen. At our table alone he made, Ariel, Snow White, Cinderella, Tinkerbell, and Lightning McQueen. I saw a fire breathing dragon, spiderman, Belle, and a large shark at other tables. He is by far the best balloon maker I've ever seen and I've seen quite a few. He can pretty much make any Disney character and any superhero. If you need somebody to entertain your kids at the party for pretty cheap look this guy up. I wish I'd known about him in the past when I lived in socal.... check out his website gallery for photos or email him at Miketheballoondude@gmail.com read more

Mind Blowing Balloons provided balloon animals (and people, jet packs, pretty much balloon everything!) for our wedding last month. They were such an enormous hit. Even though we hired them primarily for the kids in attendance, the adults loved it just as much! Everyone was talking about how incredible the balloon creations were, even now weeks afterwards. We have never seen anything like it. We will absolutely hire them again for a future celebration. read more

I hired mind blowing balloons for my little ones first birthday and they were a HUGE hit!!!!

Elmo, disney princes's, iron man, elephant's, high heel shoes, butterfly wings, a panda bear with bamboo, minnie mouse, the hulk and spiderman! He was fantastic! The kids(of all ages) and adults LOVED him! Everyone was wondering where I found Mind Blowing Balloons and they all wanted his card. Mike did an incredible job and Nolan was great to work with! They know their industry and work it well! Thank you for making our party a huge success! read more

If you're thinking about hiring a balloon artist for your party I definitely recommend doing so. We had the pleasure of having Mike Gilliland entertain our guests for my daughters second birthday party. Our little one was wowed and so we're our guests including adults. He was able to construct all the cartoon figures that was asked of him and much more. He's wonderful with the kids and works quickly to accommodate all the children's wants.

He has a slew of workers for hire. read more

If your looking for a friendly skilled balloon twister don't waste any more time looking around, this is the best it gets. Thanks Mike for making our party a hit! And for the cool sumo wrestler balloon! And btw one of the teenagers at our party pulled up a Russian cartoon character on a phone and Mike was able to match it perfectly! read more

Mike did my four year old's party. He was on time, somehow found me amid the craziness, and quickly got started making balloons for a very demanding massive group of twenty-nine (29) three to five year olds who were running on jump-house adrenaline. While I mentioned to Mike he should have some food, he did not take a break at all in the two hours we had him. He had made a balloon for most of the 29 kids within the first forty minutes, and then started adding little things like belts for the kids swords, and making elaborate Hello Kitty balloons for babies. Kids and parents alike just absolutely LOVED Mike with a whole lot of them taking business cards. All of us kept just cringing at how much his finger must hurt afterwards. He made balloons like it was a marathon. We once went to a party where the balloon artist stopped a few minutes before her time and decided she couldn't care less if the kids' balloon had blown up (including my boys), she was a total bummer. Mike? Mike's balloons did not blow up, but he did make additional balloons for all of the kids, even though it was ten minutes past!! He cares, and has a phenomenal work ethic. He is amazingly polite and I'd love him to be my kids' honorary uncle! LOL. We love him and can't say enough about Mike. If you have him, tip him well, the guy is sooooo worth it and a 30% tip! Fight the cheapscake because Mike is too awesome for you to skimp on it. read more

Nolan came to our girls birthday party and simply wowed the entire crowd! We had over thirty kids between 2 and 5yo, and he spent an entire two hours working incredibly hard to make everyone smile. And the balloon creations were just incerdible! Out girls had a Rescue Bot theme, and Nolan simply looked at a picture and made an exact likeness of my daughter's favorite character. Amazing. Can't rave enough about Nolan! He's an incredibly skilled balloon artist and entertainer! Also, on a more technical note- the booking and payment were seamless. Very professional all around! read more

My only critique would be that communication via email in the weeks leading up to the event was a little slow when I would ask questions if they did special orders for big balloon displays ahead of time... I'd don't hear back from them on whether they could do a big balloon display for me but I ended up not pursuing it because i realized it was gonna be windy at the park the day of our party so decided it wasn't a big deal. Otherwise, all I can say is, "Wow!", our minds were truly blown away by how talented our balloon artist was--we had Nolan, who was so sweet and such a good sport when it came to party time and I failed to answer my phone to tell him our exact location at the park--he had to go through a few parties before finding us, but he made it with such a good spirit and everyone enjoyed him and his balloons! I realize that the artist does well in simply going around and just making balloons for people left and right (vs having people stand in line to make requests) and he'll make something appropriate for a guest even though he or she may not know exactly what they want at the moment, which commonly happens when you're filled with excitement at a 1 yr old's bday party! He can make anything you name and made complex items such as a Captain America shield (he made 2 of them during the party!) I learned though that you have to keep in mind that the complex requests take more time to create so it can cut in to their productivity time when making balloons for others. I felt bad about making him do a shield for us while other kids were waiting, but despite that, he was able to adapt and still managed to make balloons for the most important guests there--the kids! Yes, even the adults really enjoyed his balloons! I would def book him again! We even got compliments from our guests about him and questions about booking them. Another plus is that their website and email correspondence makes it easy for you to book and pay your deposit. This was a great way to entertain guests without a cheesy magician, clown, or potentially hazardous moon-bounce-jumper. Our balloon artist was very "chill" and just an all-around nice guy whose balloons spoke for themselves. A+ ! :) read more

Mind Blowing Balloons - Mike entertaining the kids - Balloon Services Near Me

Mike is amazing! I hired him for my son's birthday/other son's baby shower. I had hired him because a friend had him at her kid's birthday and he made the most amazing balloons. So when I wanted to throw a Pixar "Up" themed party with tons of balloons, I knew that I had to ask Mike. At our party he was busy the entire time making the most amazing and creative balloons. He made the Disney princesses such as Ariel, Boots from Dora the Explorer, Spiderman, Iron Man, Mickey Mouse, Pluto, a cool helmet, Kevin from Pixar's Up, and Elmo. The kids had so many different requests and he was able to make all of them. Even the adults wanted balloons. My friend requested that he make her a bird cage hat and he did! It was crazy! The bird sat in the cage and swung back and forth. I've never seen a balloon guy do what he did. It was definitely the hit of our party. If you are looking for great party entertainment, Mike is the guy to call. Not only is he talented, he is friendly and professional. We had the best time working with him and I know my sons had a party they won't forget. read more

We had a lot of kids at our party and booked for two hours and when we realized we were gonna need more time he very kindly let us know how late he could stay until he needed to go to his next party. I'm so glad we where able to have him at our daughter first birthday! read more

Mike came to my son's 1 year birthday party. It's awesome to see him interact with the kids, they all gathered around him while he created crazy balloon creations. I saw batman, a minion, Olaf from frozen, a fighter jet...and i thought all balloon artists only did dogs and swords! He arrived on time and stayed behind a couple minutes while we were running around taking care of things, his professional demeanor rocks! I would highly recommened Mind Blowing Balloons, and would definitely hire them again! read more

Mike was incredible at my daughter's 9th birthday party! We had lots of kids (25!) and Mike worked quickly to make sure every child left with a special creation. I heard from many mothers that these creations were still holding up and treasured days later! Mike has a way with kids and the girls loved interacting with him! I was impressed he was super fun but also helping me enforce rules with the kids (ie. no cake on the carpet) all while making his ballon creations! He was able to create anything they asked for like Frozen characters, minions, a basketball hoop and ball, and even making balloon creations to look just like the girls themselves! read more

Mind Blowing Balloons is impressive! I hired them to provide both a balloon artist and face painter for our corporate event for two hours. Nolan, my contact, was informative, communicative and efficient. The artists were talented and professional. They have now been added by my personal preferred vendor list (this isn't any easy accomplishment) and I will be hiring them again just as soon as there is a need. I would recommend booking more than two hours if you know you have a large number of guests. The lines will be long - they are THAT good!! read more

I did not hear Mike turn down any requests, he made everything that the children would ask for. I saw some amazing balloon characters created, amazing! .
