Birthday Party Package:

A basic Birthday Party Package with Charis Hamm, the Balloon Artist, includes twisting time, photos of the event (taken by Charis' mom, Faye) mailed to you on CD, and a special large sculpture made ahead of time for the birthday child (you can choose the type of sculpture to match the party theme or your child's favorite). There are various samples of special birthday party sculptures around the website!

If there are less than a dozen children at the party there will be time for Charis to teach a basic balloon dog to all the participants (including parents) during the last 10 minutes of the party. Please note that this is much more effective with the age 7 and up crowd, but we'll help your children be successful whatever their age!

If there are more children and you would really like extra teaching time, you will need to book more time with Charis.  

Twisting Supplies  If you book a second hour for your birthday party, Charis will bring, as another gift for your child, a bag of 100 assorted-colour,  professional-grade balloons and a professional hand pump to be left with your child.

If you do not want to book a second hour and would still like the twisting supplies, Charis will provide those for $25.

In order to book your party, please call or e-mail Charis & Faye with the,

Charis charges $150 per hour.  This includes all balloons and supplies.  All you need to provide is a sheltered place for her to stand where her audience can see her.

Birthday parties are only a fraction of what Charis does and can do.  Charis has made her special balloon art at company picnics, grand openings, community fairs, weddings, and can make balloons at almost every type of special occasion!  The adults enjoy a sculpture as much as the kids!  We are willing to work with you to make your event fun and exciting.  Please contact us early about your special event as she'd often booked months in advance for special calendar days and popular weekends.

Charis also has a discounted rate of $100 per hour for registered charities (non-profit, non-governmental organizations). She will take these bookings without hesitation, based on availability.  

In addition, Charis is involved with a number of wonderful charitable organizations where she fully donates her time and balloons. She will not be taking any more of these bookings during this calendar year, but if you'd like to put in your requests for 2010, your organization will be considered for her limited number of fully subsidized events.  Send Charis a detailed e-mail about your organization, your special event and how a balloon twister will enhance your event.
