Q: What areas do you service?

A: Elevate Events Co services the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Gympie and Hervey Bay areas for balloon styling, backdrop hire, picnic setups and event installations. Travel fees may apply depending on location and setup requirements.

Q: How far in advance should I book balloon décor?

A: We always recommend booking as early as possible, especially for weekends and peak seasons. Ideally 4–6 weeks in advance so we can secure stock, custom signage and styling pieces for your event. Last-minute bookings may be possible depending on availability.

Q: Are balloons suitable for outdoor events?

A: Yes — we regularly create outdoor balloon installations across the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane and surrounding areas. However, weather conditions like wind, rain and extreme heat can affect balloons. We’ll always recommend the best styling options based on your venue and setup location.

Q: Do you offer custom colours and themes?

A: Absolutely. Every setup is customised to suit your event theme, colour palette and overall vibe. Whether you’re after luxury neutrals, kids party themes, bridal styling or corporate branding, we can create something unique to your event.

Q: Do you offer themed kids party setups?

A: Yes! We love creating themed kids party setups including mermaid parties, princess themes, disco parties, under the sea setups, dinosaur themes and more. You can pair themed props with balloons, signage and backdrops for a fully styled event experience.

Q: Do you provide shimmer walls and backdrops?

A: Yes — we have a range of shimmer walls, arches, ripple backdrops, plinths and signage available for hire. These are perfect for birthdays, baby showers, corporate events, media walls and engagement parties. Browse our backdrop hire range here: 

Q: Do you deliver and set up?

A: Yes. Most of our balloon and backdrop setups include delivery, installation and pack down arrangements where required. Larger installations and corporate events may also include scheduled bump-in and bump-out times depending on the venue requirements.

Picnic Setups

Q: What’s included in a picnic setup?

A: Our luxury picnic setups can include rugs, cushions, low tables, table styling, candles, florals, lanterns, tableware and themed décor depending on the package selected. We customise each setup to suit your event style and guest numbers.

Q: Where can picnic setups be arranged?

A: We can set up picnics at beaches, parks, private homes, Airbnb properties, gardens and event venues across the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Gympie and Hervey Bay regions. Please ensure council or venue permissions are approved where required.

Q: Can I bring my own food and drinks?

A: Of course. You’re welcome to organise your own food and drinks, or we can recommend local catering, grazing tables and charcuterie options to suit your event.

Q: What happens if it rains?

A: If weather conditions are unsafe, we’ll work with you on an alternative plan where possible. This may include rescheduling, moving indoors or adjusting setup times depending on availability and conditions.

Booking & Payments

Q: How do I make a booking?

A: Simply add your favourite items to your enquiry cart and submit your event details through our website. You can enquire about balloons, backdrops, signage, picnic setups and custom styling all in one enquiry form here:

Q: Can I enquire about multiple items together?

A: Yes — and we actually recommend it. Combining balloons, backdrops, signage and props helps create a more cohesive setup and allows us to quote everything together.

Q: What are your payment terms?

A: A deposit is required to secure your booking, with the remaining balance due before your event date. Payment terms and cancellation policies will be included in your quote.

Q: Can I customise my setup further?

A: Absolutely. We specialise in custom event styling, so if you have inspiration photos, Pinterest boards or colour palettes you’d like us to work from, send them through with your enquiry.

Corporate Events & Brand Activations

Q: Do you style corporate events?

A: Yes — we provide balloon styling, branded backdrops, media walls, signage and event installations for corporate events, store launches, activations, EOFY events, Christmas parties and brand campaigns across the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane.

Q: Can you match company branding?

A: Definitely. We can colour-match balloons, signage and styling elements to align with your brand colours and overall campaign aesthetic.

Health & Safety

Q: Are balloons safe around children and pets?

A: Balloons should always be supervised around young children and pets. We use professional balloon products and balloon shine sprays on many installations, so balloons are designed for styling purposes rather than play. Popped balloon pieces should always be disposed of immediately.
