Do You Deliver?
Great Event Decorations is a full service decorating company which means that we deliver and decoratively arrange all of the design elements that you have chosen and when necessary, return for breakdown and pick up of any rental items. Our décor is not available for pick up. The cost of delivery is based on the time needed, the location of the event and the quantity of décor.
What areas do you service?
Great Event Decorations are based in Bridgeport, Connecticut and service the Fairfield County areas. We will travel to greater distances based on our availability and the scope of work.
How does purchasing decorations actually work?
If you have decided to purchase a package shown on our website, please email or call us with your contact information, your event date, place and time as well as the package selected. Then we will confirm our availability and inform you of the delivery charge and how to make payment arrangements.
Others may call to discuss your particular event and possible decorating needs. We also offer a free one hour consultation at our location in Bridgeport if necessary. At this meeting we can show you actual samples and you can view our extensive digital portfolio to help you make a selection. Following the meeting we will send you a proposal that details all the design elements, delivery and set up costs and tax (if applicable).
How do I select my colors?
From the portfolio page you can view the color chart. This chart shows standard, jewel-tone, pearl and metallic finish type balloons in solid colors. With a consultation we can show you the actual product and guide you to a selection, and we can show you the large selection of imprinted, patterned and shaped latex balloons.
When can I make an appointment?
Generally we schedule appointments Monday through Thursday. Evening hours are available for your convenience. With our one hour free consultation we can together design your event décor.
How far in advance do I need to book my event?
We schedule events up to one year in advance. Certain dates are very popular so it is best to reserve your event date as soon as you know your day, time and location.
How long will the balloons float?
At sea level, balloons float from 10 hours to 5 days, depending on several factors that includes the size, finish, temperature and shape. We will guide you to the proper size and type of balloon that will last longer than your event. As professionals we are aware of the product limitations and will only use the appropriate items. Also, it is possible to use Hi-Float™ to extend the float time of latex balloons.
What is Hi-Float™?
Hi-Float™ is a liquid sealant used to coat the interior surface of latex balloons and reduce the speed at which helium escapes through the latex pores. When applied to balloons that will be used indoors, it can increase the float time by several days. Hi-Float™ is non-toxic and water soluble.
How much do balloon arches cost?
Balloon arches are priced by height, width, style and the actual balloons chosen. It is important to consider how the arch will be used, such as a walk through or drive through arch. Arches can be a string of pearl which is one balloon after another on a single line, or packed which is made of 4 balloon clusters wrapped on a single line if using helium. Packed arches can also be air filled and created using base plates, poles and flexible arch rod. We rarely install helium arches outdoors due to the unknown factors of wind and weather. A single string of pearl entry arch approximately 10' x 10' is about $90. A similar sized free standing packed arch suitable indoors or outdoors would be approximately $350.
What do I need to do to reserve my event date and time?
After selecting your decorative package and pricing, a retainer of 50% with the signed contract will reserve your event date and time.
Our event location does not allow helium. Can I still decorate with balloons?
Yes, there are many air filled balloon designs that will last for days or even weeks. The Arena at Harbor Yard and the Barnum Museum are two examples of locations that do not allow helium. We decorate with arches, columns and topiaries that are air filled in these locations.
Are you insured?
Great Event Decorations LLC carry a one million dollar commercial liability policy.
When is the final payment due?
The final balance is due in full ten days prior to the event.
What is the cancellation policy?
Retainers for event decorations are non refundable.
What is your rain date policy?
We do not accept events with scheduled rain dates.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept cash, checks, money orders, Pay Pal banking, and MasterCard or Visa.
