There is an additional charge to include ballooning. This fee is applied whether you require face painting or not so with every ballooning requirement face painting is free and inclusive - but only if you want it. We won't prepare for face painting if you have not selected that as a service option.
How it usually works:
Because face painting is what we focus on as the basis of Cheeky Face services the ballooning is an option and so in most cases (where required) we will send a face painter who can also model balloons and we charge a little more to include that option.
How Balloonists do I need?
When you book a balloonist the face painting is included (unless you don't want it). How many balloonists you need may depend on other things like how many will prefer balloons over face painting and if you are offering face painting or not. The information below may help...
Low attendance:
Where your attendance numbers are not expected to be very high it is a good idea to have one person (a face painter) offer both service options (face painting & ballooning).
High attendance:
Where numbers are high and the time is short, then it may be best to have one person offer each service option.
We will be able to determine this better with the information you provide in this form. Ballooning speed can range from 2, 3 or even 4 swords per minute up to as long as 10 minutes for more complex designs (we tend not to include many complex designs as it can slow it down but it varies with the balloonist and the event).
Although it is possible to create up to 4 balloon swords per minute quite frantically, the realistic expectation would be 2 or 3.
Not all of our balloonists offer the same options however all of them can offer simple quick balloons. If you need a higher standard of ballooning you should let us know.
