Popular balloon columns styles
Every design is fully customizable to your colors and vision.
Columns are a classic, high-visibility install for grand openings, birthdays, graduations, and corporate events. Built on weighted bases, they stand on their own to mark an entrance, flank a stage, or line a walkway, and pair perfectly with a matching arch.
We design classic spiral columns, modern organic columns, and themed columns topped with foil numbers, letters, or shapes — in matte, chrome, or confetti finishes matched to your colors or brand. Delivery, setup, and teardown are included.

What our clients say
“It was absolutely wonderful working with them! The decor looked amazing! They put a lot of effort and care into it! We had our event in a park and they went to the park in person a few days before the event.”
“We hired Balloon Bay for our baby shower. They were easy to communicate with and very thorough with details. Set up and take down were efficient. Great job!”

Balloon Columns FAQs
How much do balloon columns cost?
Balloon columns typically start around $100–$175 each, with pricing depending on height, finish, and topper. A pair flanking an entrance is the most common order. Request a free quote for exact pricing, or call (650) 502-5077.
How tall are balloon columns?
Most columns stand about 6–8 feet tall on a weighted base, sized for entrances, stages, and walkways. We can build taller statement columns for grand openings and high-ceiling venues — let us know your space and we'll recommend a height.
Can columns be used outdoors?
Yes — columns are popular for grand openings and outdoor events. We build them on weighted bases and can add wind reinforcement, though we recommend shaded placement and accept that breezy or hot conditions shorten balloon life. Tell us the location when you book.
Do you deliver and set up the columns?
Yes — delivery, on-site setup, and full teardown are included. Columns are assembled and weighted on-site so they're stable and ready before your event begins.
Can you match my brand or party colors?
Absolutely — columns are color-matched to your brand palette, school colors, or party theme, and can be topped with custom foil numbers, letters, or shapes for a personalized finish.
