Question 13

My decorations have been set up but I don't like them.

Accepted Answer

Please note that inspiration images are for inspirational purposes only. We do not guarantee an exact replication of the any images submitted, but will use them as reference for shape, color and style when creating your balloon design. Confirmed orders may not be exchanged or refunded. We encourage clients to inspect their balloon designs before the Balloon Stylists leave the premises. Once your balloons are set up and we leave, we are no longer responsible for the design. Refunds and adjustments will not be extended after delivery and installation.

Question 14

How long will my balloon décor last?

Accepted Answer

The lifespan of our decorations depends on environmental conditions and if the décor is air-filled, or helium filled.  A regular 11″ helium balloon has a lifespan of about 18 hours.  We can extend the float time by using a special treatment to pre-seal the balloons prior to inflation. This can increase the float time by several days.  Air-filled décor can last for days or even weeks under the right conditions.

Question 15

I don't know what I want, can you help me figure it out?"

Accepted Answer

Of course we can!!! We pride ourselves on working closely with our clients no matter what stage of event development they may be in. When you speak with one of our consultants, he/she will ask questions to gather information about your event to help you develop a decorating plan; which focuses your guests' attention on one focal point, or that helps create an overall ambiance throughout your event! If you have already determined your estimated budget, our designers can help by suggesting packages and décor arrangements that match your goals with your specific budget in mind.

Question 16

Is there anything that I need to do prior to delivery/setup?

Accepted Answer

Yes. At Madeline's Room, we want to ensure that the allotted delivery and set up time is used to execute your vision. To help us, please ensure that your venue is prepped and clean prior to the arrival of our decorators. This will ensure that the execution of your design is complete and according to plan.  Failure to ensure that the venue is clean and available to decorate, may result in a reduction of services as time permits. It is the sole responsibility of the client to ensure that this happens. If it becomes necessary for Madeline's Room to rearrange, or clean outside of any pre-existing service agreements, there will be a reduction in services as time permits at the discretion of Madeline's Room staff and at a cost to the client.   If you have placed an order that is scheduled for delivery to a hospital, school or other secure facility; please confirm their delivery policy prior to placing your order. If an order is dispatched for delivery but is rejected by the facility, the delivery is considered accomplished and will be returned to our office. Returned deliveries will be held up to 24 hours and reasonable efforts will be made to arrange pick up from our office between normal business hours. Requests to have the delivery resent will incur additional service and delivery charges.
