The fun doesn’t have to stop there – Beyond the Balloon provides beautiful backdrops, centerpieces, and displays for any occasion. Weddings, graduations, gender reveals, baptisms, corporate events, and school proms are just a few of the events that Tara and Josh Heitmann have created pieces for.
“We even did a dog birthday party!” Tara said.
Beyond the Balloon will create a unique work of art for your special occasion, which also includes free set up, tear down, and delivery in town. Have an event that’s not in Aberdeen? Beyond the Balloon has delivered to many towns in-state and in North Dakota. For a small fee, they’ll get the balloons to any event within 100 miles. Their new delivery truck, affectionately named Betty, has large windows that allow everyone to see what’s inside.
“Sometimes, we’ll arrive and people have their phones out just to film us pulling up,” Tara said.
Beyond the Balloon celebrated their first anniversary on February 1 and moved to their new location in April. What started as a part-time job became a livelihood for Tara and Josh.
“Balloon decor is very popular in the south,” Tara said. “More and more people are looking for decorations like these.”
Their best-selling product are their floor bouquets, which sport number, letter, and character balloons that are perfect for birthdays. They can also make columns, arches and half-arches, wreaths, backdrops, wall garlands, and more. Customers can also rent out a cart decorated with balloons and light-up marquee letters.
While some of these occasions might not be typically associated with balloons, there are colors and themes that will fit any style or feel an event might have.
“These decorations can be very elegant,” Tara said. “Muted colors are very popular right now, and they look very beautiful.”
Party planning can be hectic, especially as the day draws near. There are a few things to keep in mind to help keep stress levels low.
“I know we’re a ‘last minute’ sort of business, but if you want something custom or special ordered, we recommend giving us a two or three week lead time.” Tara said. They do have a variety of pieces that are premade, and they are always willing to sit down and come up with a design that you’ll love.
