How Much Is A Balloon Arch?

Apr 14

When it comes to adding that extra pop of excitement to any event, balloon arches stand out as a timeless choice. They effortlessly capture attention, framing entrances, stages, and photo backdrops with a whimsical flair. But behind their effortless charm lies a world of considerations, especially when it comes to pricing.

Balloon arches are typically priced by the foot, with costs varying depending on the complexity of the design. On average, you can expect to invest between $20 to $100 per foot for a balloon arch, depending on factors like width, height, intricacy, and of course your location in the country. Los Angeles, New York, and places where it's very expensive to live, tend to have the highest prices for balloon arches.

However, navigating the pricing landscape can sometimes feel like tiptoeing through a minefield of hidden costs. Some companies may quote a seemingly low price per foot, only to hit you with additional charges for extras like jumbo balloons, stars, confetti, or double-stuffing. Suddenly, what seemed like a budget-friendly option becomes a headache of unexpected expenses.

At my company, The Balloon Guy, we believe in transparency and simplicity when it comes to pricing. That's why we lay it all out upfront, offering a straightforward cost per linear foot for our balloon arches. No surprises, no hidden fees. We include those extra touches as part of our designs because we understand that every detail matters.

When considering the price of a balloon arch, there are a few key factors to keep in mind:

Type of Arch: Are you envisioning a classic arch with uniform balloon sizes, stretching from one end to the other? Or perhaps you're drawn to the organic trend, with its asymmetrical shapes and varied balloon sizes. Organic arches and garlands, though more intricate and thus pricier per linear foot, offer a unique, eye-catching aesthetic that's worth the investment.

Here's a quick description of each type of arch:

Classic Arch: Uniform sized balloons, spanning from one side to the other.

Organic Arch: Trendy and intricate, featuring asymmetrical shapes and varied balloon sizes including 5", 11" 16-18", 24", and 36" balloons. Be sure to ask your balloon decorator what sizes they will be using in your arch and do they charge for add-ons.

Organic Garland: Draped around décor or structures, offering a versatile alternative to traditional arches.

By understanding your preferences and budget, you can work with your balloon stylist to create a balloon installation that not only fits your vision but also exceeds your expectations.

Also feel free to DM me on Instagram @balloonguyla with your questions and I will answer them as soon as possible. Be sure to follow us first so I can see your message.

And remember, you can always just DIY and spend hours and hours trying to blow up your own balloons, create a structure out of flimsy tape from Amazon, while trying to get your kids in their "party outfits." Or you can hire a professional that would love to help you, giving you time to enjoy your party and not work at it.

Hope this helps!
