He's super excited about his birthday balloons

Kim S.

Awesome work! I wanted to deliver balloons to my fiance for his birthday at work. I searched Yelp for local stores and came across this location. I called, asked a few questions and immediately placed my order for next day delivery. When I received the photo of my fiance surrounded by his balloons, I was extremely satisfied. Thank you My Custom Balloons for making sure his birthday was complete with balloons. I look forward to using you again in the future.

We wanted about 20 giant (3 feet) balloons for our wedding and had a very hard time finding vendors in the DC area to help us. Luckily, Elmer was able to get us what we needed. We had a lot of communication with Elmer to settle on the right balloon colors/types and to go over logistics - he was very patient with us and was always prompt with his responses. We also spoke over the phone to make sure that all the details were set. On our wedding day, Elmer showed up with an assistant as soon as the ceremony space was available, and inflated the balloons in less time than anticipated. They looked great, and Elmer was able to make a last-minute adjustment to the ribbon lengths when we discovered that the ceiling was lower than we had been told by the hotel staff. We were very happy with the product and Elmer's service - the balloons ended up being a big hit with our guests and a very memorable part of our day. Thanks Elmer!

The birthday boy likes his Unicorn balloon bunch!

I wanted 'more-than-your-average' balloons and My Custom Balloons delivered! The Unicorn grouping was great, right on target! And the balloons arrived in great shape and right on time! No worries when you deal with Elmer and his uber-friendly balloon store!

My ballon bouquets for my event...thanks Elmer.

Absolutely the very best! I found Elmer on-line after doing a google search in a desperate search to find another balloon vendor after my usual vendor flaked out on me at the last minute, I had a very high profile launch party in just 48 hours and no balloons! I found My Custom Balloons and spoke to Elmer who reassured me that he and his team would be able to accommodate my balloon request on such short notice. Elmer did just that. My balloon bouquets arrived on time and Elmer and his team assembled the bouquets on site to ensure I got the right height and desired color pattern. If I ever need balloons again, I will MOST DEFINITELY be calling Elmer...no doubt. He was professional, on time, and very accommodating. Thanks to Elmer, my event was a huge success. I highly recommend My Custom Balloons. If I could give 10 stars, I would.

Do not hesitate to use Elmer and his company for your special event! His service, responsiveness, and skill at making your idea come to reality really made my special event come together perfectly, all with very little turn time. He was very experienced in coordinating with our hotel to make sure he was able to arrive on time, get in, setup the balloons, and get out for a surprise event. He even coordinated parking so it wouldn't be obvious that there were balloons coming into the hotel to help keep it a surprise. He did a fantastic job at assisting with design and has very upfront pricing. I cannot recommend this company enough and we will absolutely using them for events that need that little extra!

Excellence! Loved the customer service in helping order exactly what I wanted and got it delivered immediately! The Get Well balloon arrangement absolutely made the recovering patient smile!!!

Ordered a balloon bouquet for my mom's birthday party this past weekend. From my initial phone call, they were professional, attentive and so helpful in helping me decide what it was that I needed. The balloons were delivered on time and as promised and they were absolutely stunning and long lasting. Very pleased with the customer service and the finished product and I wholeheartedly recommend. I definitely plan on using them again

I have been looking for quite some time for a good balloon shop- a step up from the Party City's and wow this place far exceeded my expectations. This was by far some of the best service I have ever received. I ordered the balloons around 10:00am and and had them by 1:30pm at my front door. They were perfect! Amazing customer service! Ok- so I am updating this review because I can't add a second one! So Elmer doesn't disappoint again! He really is the best balloon place in town! I needed some last minute balloons for a doggy announcement photo shoot and as before - I called Elmer and he made it happen! Thank again! read more

Amazing experience working with this company on a custom arch for a bridal shower. The owner sent me several pictures of balloons that I requested to make sure I'd love the finished product and also went out of his way to squeeze us in during pride weekend even after his schedule was already filled up.

My sister and friends threw me a surprised 60th birthday party last year, June 2022. My sister had balloon decorations made for and I loved them so much that I decided to keep 2 of the center pieces a whole year. I am impressed with how long they lasted. They did of course deflate over time but not to the point they couldn't stand up. All of the balloon pieces that were done were FANTASTIC!!

National Night Out 2019 was one day away and we were without balloons. I contacted My Custom Balloons and Elmer called me back almost immediately. With less than 24 hours notice we had 200 individual balloons ready to go -- and delivered to our even early and perfectly. Elmer and My Custom Balloons are top notch. The balloons are excellent and lasted for many hours. Customer Service is the best anywhere -- bar none. He helped with set up --- and left everyone with a huge smile. I cannot say enough good things about My Custom Balloons. I definitely recommend for all your balloon needs -- and you have a customer for life. A HUGE Thank You!

I live in NY and our youngest son lives in Arlington for many years. Today is his birthday, and at the last minute, I was frantic to send him something for his birthday. I needed to work online this morning, so I didn't have much time to take care of this. The owner of this establishment, Elmer, went out of his way in so many ways to make sure my son got something for his birthday today. I am so excited and grateful to Elmer for all his patience, help, kindness and the beautiful balloon bouquet that our son received. Elmer made my day, and I hope others will use this business.

I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. I recently worked with them to set up a back drop for my son's first birthday party. Because of an error on my part, I spoke to them the morning of the party and he was able to bring his team and finish the set up in less than 15 minutes exactly like how I had wanted it. It was perfect! Seriously. Amazing. Everyone commented on the balloons and I was so sad to take it down! He was professional, kind and understanding through it all. Definitely will be working with them again. read more

Elmer and My Custom Balloons served our school graduation event and did an amazing job! We purchased a huge balloon arch, balloon columns, and a few bouquets. Elmer was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end! He helped to match our school colors, came the day before to set up, and even treated the balloons to make sure they lasted overnight. Their prices are affordable and helped me to stay within budget! I enjoyed my experience with this company and give them my highest recommendation! read more

JUST what you want in a local business - responsive, deliver a very good product, go above and beyond with customer service. I used them for some simple balloon centerpieces for a party. They had a great selection available, provided good advice on choices, delivered just when they said they would, provided balloons of good quality, and put everything together carefully and nicely. The delivery people not only dropped things off, but were prepared to adjust things for where we were putting them. I would happily use them any time I need balloons. read more

Without one single doubt, Elmer's custom balloons is one of the best small businesses I have ever worked with. I was on a mission to find someone who could make me a balloon 'garland' --- not a balloon arch. Called several and no one knew about a balloon garland, with one exception: Elmer's My Custom Balloons knew exactly what I was describing. And we sealed the deal and he showed up at the house in McLean and assembled and installed an absolutely gorgeous balloon garland. This garland was to celebrate a bridal shower. It was installed over the front door and spent the night outside without losing any balloon volume. He knew exactly what he was doing and was the epitome of professionalism. And a pleasure to work with. So nice to work with someone who wants you to be happy and makes sure you are HAPPY. I recommend this company without one single hesitation. An absolute pleasure. Kate V.

We were in from Los Angeles for our daughter's white coat ceremony for med school. We blew up two balloons and knew we needed professional help. We called right before the store closed and Elmer gave us the personal attention we needed. The next day, he installed a beautiful balloon arrangement in advance of our deadline. He was personable, professional, and kind. We will be using his business for graduation! read more

I don't think I've ever left a review on yelp, but feel compelled to because of the great experience we had with My Custom Balloons. Ordered a bunch of latex balloons to be delivered on 12/11/20, and somehow, on 12/16, they are still as firmly inflated and floating as they were when we received them. Great quality balloons.

My friend found Elmer Umana from My Custom Balloons and it's a good thing she did or we wouldn't have had any door decorations to welcome people to the bridal shower I hosted. I had seen some balloon garland "kits" but had no time nor talent for putting balloons together into a garland that would fit above my front door. It needed custom treatment by a professional. Elmer arrived exactly on time and spent considerable time creating the garland on the spot with feedback about the size of balloons, the garland, and placement. Here is proof that we got a special garland created just for us by Elmer. I didn't want just any garland, I wanted a unique one. read more

I placed a very specific order for my grand daughters 4th birthday. I am in Texas so I had concerns, many times a long distance order does not meet expectations. Not the case here, the customer service was excellent. I spoke to Elmer numerous times, I am not certain if he is the owner, however he took great pride and patience in assuring my order was exactly what I wanted! I can not express how happy my grand daughter and I were. Again, Elmer went the extra step and called me just prior to delivery so I FaceTimed and was able to be a part of her surprise.

She facetimed me to show me the flowers ahead of time and she was so kind and helpful. 10/10 recommend!!!

I asked her for the contact information and she sent me the website for Sweet Gifts which I saved onto my "Favorites" links on my phone. Fast forward one year later... I'm planning my own socially distanced "drive by" and "drop in" baby shower with close friends and family. One of the first businesses that I inquired was Sweet Gifts because I've always wanted a balloon garland. However, Sweet Gifts is more than just balloons, balloon walls, and garlands -- they also do custom laser cuts and engraving and grass backdrop rentals as well! Their balloon work is so aesthetically pleasing and they really take their time to curate an impressive look for your event (if you don't believe me, check out their Instagram for some of their beautiful work!). I went with the grass backdrop rental, laser cut, and a ready-to-hang garland to display. The team came on time and was able to set everything up within 2.5 hours! They also wore masks throughout the whole setup and always knocked on the door to make sure to get my opinion on the display. I received several compliments from our guests and have told them all about Sweet Gifts! Additionally, they came back later that evening to take down the grass backdrop and left us with the ready-to-hang garland and laser cut for us to keep. When it comes to payment, you will pay 50% for your reservation and then 50% the day before. They also accepted payment through various methods. I definitely plan to use Sweet Gifts for future events!

Sweet Gifts made the most gorgeous display for the baby shower I hosted this past weekend.

When the crew arrived they were very professional and done so quickly I couldn't believe it. I have found kits that you can buy to make displays but I cant imagine ever being able to make something so beautiful. Jen was amazing, she felt like some of the design elements would crowd the space and made some suggestions that were even better than the original ideas. I highly recommend this company for that special design for any event.

Just called in from Orlando FL to order my baby shower balloons. I was informed that this is a local business and the owner still decided to help me out and go out of his way to ship my balloons to me. Very reasonable and great pricing. I really appreciate his help because this is the only shop I can find with the baby simba balloons. Thank you for making my special day a memorable one. Can't wait to receive my balloons. UPDATE: received my balloons via usps priority mail. Everything looks great. Event isn't until weekend so I haven't seen them filled yet but packaging was very nice and neat. I appreciate all of this help. Tracking number was provided and even received extra balloons. I appreciate this so much Elmer. If anyone is considering ordering from out of state I say don't hesitate because pricing, packaging and experience exceeds expectations. Elmer is amazingly helpful. Any event I have I will do business here even being so far away. I thank you a million times. I will post photos after my baby shower. Thank you so much read more

Elmer from my Custom Balloons in DC was FANTASTIC. From the initial phone call to making me feel confident that he cared about exactly what I wanted and the whole delivery process. Told me exactly what I need to do which was following up with security at the delivery location to make sure they could be delivered to my husband at work and there would be nothing in the way! I called him LAST MINUTE. I called him the night before I actually needed them delivered. I asked him for anytime between like 11 and 2 and they were delivered on the earlier side which was even better. Elmer even took a picture of my husband with the balloons when he received it. Elmer absolutely delivered in every little detail for this process all the while, making me feel valued as a customer and truly cared about. This man knows how to run a business & I'm so happy I found this company. I will most definitely be using their services again! Thank you so much! read more

A child in my preschool class was in the hospital and I wanted to send him balloons from his classmates. We selected a Thomas the tank engine bouquet along with a few other favored characters to be delivered the same day. The company called almost immediately after I placed the order and even though it was later than 10am (their usual cutoff for same day delivery) he said he would make it happen. In less than an hour the same man called me back to say that he'd delivered the balloons to the child's nurse and gave me the room number (which I had not originally known). Fabulous experience & unparalleled selection! read more

Elmer is amazing! I live in NY and Elmer worked with me to come up with the perfect 30th birthday balloon bouquet for my daughter's birthday. He was great about communications (even noticing and letting me know I dropped the '3' off my online order of the '30' number balloons) and was terrific giving me not only a delivery window but giving us a head's up before he was arriving so I could get my daughter's housemate there to receive the delivery. The whole process was terrific, the bouquet was beautiful and I can't recommend Elmer highly enough! (Order was in March 2020) read more

Elmer was wonderful! I hired him to do balloons for my wedding, somewhat last minute, and not only was he able to accommodate, but they were PERFECT. He delivered exactly what I was envisioning, which was only communicated to him via email along with a few example photos I found on the internet. He was very friendly and professional through the entire process. All the guests loved the balloons and many of them took some home at the end of the night. I highly recommend using My Custom Balloons! read more

My Custom Balloons just helped add the best pops of color to our Bridal Luau this past weekend at Blackwall Hitch in Alexandria. Elmer was kind enough to drop off 7 balloon bundles and one giant "ALOHA" set of gold foil balloons prior to the restaurant opening. He promptly followed up after the delivery via phone as well as sent a follow up email the next day making sure everything went well the balloons. GREAT customer service. Thanks My Custom Balloons! read more

My sister-in-law had balloons delivered to our home for my son's first birthday. Elmer was extremely kind and professional when he delivered the balloons. The balloons looked so beautiful and my son loved them! The amazing part is that they remained inflated and floating for nearly 2 months (both the latex and the mylar!)! We were so impressed by My Custom Balloons. We received this balloon order back in February and still talk about how much we loved them! read more

I just celebrated my 20th Anniversary and was looking for something very specific. Elmer consulted with me over the phone several times and made some recommendations based on what I envisioned. My wife was totally surprised and over joyed when she received the delivery. He helped make my day special. Elmer even took the time to send me a text message confirming the delivery. I highly recommend My Custom Balloons. read more

We had a very large event at the Newseum this past week and needed some balloon bouquets and the large "lettered" balloons strategically placed in the room. Elmer was such a pleasure to work with and he was very responsive even when I called for a quote on Valentine's Day! I would most definitely use him again for any corporate function.
