Balloon FAQ

Occasions of Falkirk are qualified balloon professionals and members of the Qualatex balloon network, the Sky Hi balloon delivery network and NABAS.

We can supply balloons for any event - weddings, christenings, birthdays, anniversaries, corporate events or for any event you may have planned.

Our services can ensure you venue is decorated to the theme you desire.

Being prepared for your balloon consultation will save everyone time and help to make your dream wedding  or other event come true.

This is the kind of questions we will ask during your consultation:

  • When and where will your events be held — ceremony, reception, other?
  • What colors will be used? If possible bring color swatches to make sure your balloon and ribbon colors coordinate.
  • Is there a motif?
  • What ideas do you have about color combinations, areas to decorate, kinds of decor, etc.?
  • Is the event formal or casual; buffet or sit-down dinner? Will there be cocktails?
  • Do you have a specific theme?
  • What's the most important area of the event?
  • Do you have a special memento or heirloom you'd like incorporated into the decor?
  • Can you provide names and contact info of photographer, caterer, cake baker, DJ, florist, equipment supplier (linens, chairs, tables, props, tents, etc.)?
  • What's your target decor budget?
