What is a balloon arch?

A balloon arch is a curved frame of balloons that connects overhead on both sides, so guests walk or stand underneath it. That is what sets an arch apart from a balloon garland, which drapes or cascades without closing overhead. Arches mark an entrance, frame a stage or head table, and give every guest the same photo spot.

Every arch we build is custom: sized to your doorway or stage, in your colors, with the balloon sizes and finishes that suit the event.

Balloon arch styles we build

  • Classic arch: tightly packed balloons in a repeating color pattern. Clean and bold for school gates, storefronts and finish lines.
  • Organic arch: mixed balloon sizes, from small to jumbo, for a softer, modern look, often with greenery or foil numbers.
  • Spiral and rainbow arches: color bands that twist or stripe across the arch. A favorite for kids’ parties and school events.
  • Letter and number arches: foil letters and numbers worked into the arch: “Class of 2027”, names, ages or a company name.
  • Arch rows: several arches in a line that turn a hallway or walkway into an entrance.
  • Organic pink, red and gold balloon arch with 16 and 60 foil numbers over a birthday head table, New Jersey

Where a balloon arch works best

  • Entrances and doorways: the first thing guests see.
  • Stages and podiums: graduations, award nights and performances. See our graduation balloon decorations.
  • Head tables and dance floors: birthdays, sweet sixteens, quinceañeras and weddings.
  • Storefronts and grand openings: we installed a 30 ft grand opening arch for Nordstrom Rack in Ramsey, NJ at 6 AM, before the doors opened.
  • Outdoor school gates and fields: classic and rainbow arches for field days, moving-up days and back-to-school.

What affects the price of a balloon arch

Every quote is custom. These are the things that change it:

  • Size: the width and height of the arch.
  • Style: organic and letter arches take more design time than a classic pattern.
  • Balloon types: chrome, foil numbers, jumbo balloons and greenery add to the build.
  • Indoor or outdoor: outdoor arches need a weighted frame planned for the spot.
  • Setup window and access: early-morning installs, stairs or a day-before setup.
  • Distance from our Belleville studio.

Questions

Balloon Arches FAQ

Something else on your mind? Send us your event details or call (201) 300-5153.

How far in advance should I book a balloon arch?

As early as you can. Weekends in May and June (graduation season) and December dates fill first. Once you have a date and venue, send our quote form and we’ll check availability.

Can a balloon arch go outdoors?

Yes. We build outdoor arches for school gates, storefronts, fields and backyards, and plan the frame and weights for the spot. Mark your event as outdoor on the quote form so we can plan for it.

How big can a balloon arch be?

From a single doorway to a large entrance: our grand opening arch for Nordstrom Rack in Ramsey, NJ was 30 feet wide. We size every arch to your entrance, stage or table.

What is the difference between a balloon arch and a balloon garland?

An arch connects overhead on both sides so people walk under it. A garland is a loose, natural chain of balloons that drapes over a backdrop, table or doorway without closing overhead.

Can you add names, numbers or a logo to an arch?

Yes. Foil letters and numbers can be worked into the arch, and logos or characters can be added as custom balloon sculptures.

Do you deliver balloon arches to New York City?

Yes, to Manhattan, Brooklyn, Staten Island, the Bronx and Queens, as well as North Jersey within about 20 miles of our Belleville studio.
