Meet Ellie

Hi, I’m Ellie! Balloons by Ellie started at my kitchen table in 2021, making garlands for friends’ parties.

These days I design and install balloon decor for birthdays, weddings and events across Exeter and East Devon. You’ll deal with me from your first message to the day itself: I’ll help you choose colours that suit your theme and venue, set everything up before your guests arrive and collect it afterwards. I’m fully insured and used to working with venues, so you don’t need to worry about the details.

  • Ellie made Freya’s first birthday so special. The pastel arch was even prettier than the photos I’d sent her, and it was all set up before we got back from the shops.

    Hannah P.First birthday

  • We wanted something simple and elegant to match our flowers, and Ellie nailed it. Guests kept stopping at the entrance arch for photos all evening.

    Megan & JoshWedding

  • Hired the light-up 40 and a balloon column for my party. Arrived on time, looked amazing and was collected the next morning. Couldn’t have been easier.

    Claire T.Light-up 40 hire

  • The hot air balloon was the star of the baby shower. Ellie was lovely to deal with from the first message to collection.

    Rachel M.Baby shower

  • Ellie styled our café opening at short notice. Really professional, and the colours matched our branding perfectly.

    Dan W.Café opening

Questions

Can’t see yours? Text Ellie on 07700 900461 or send a quick message.

How far ahead should I book?

Weekends fill up first, so two to four weeks ahead is ideal. Need something sooner? Ask anyway, we can often help.

Do you deliver and set up?

Yes. Delivery is free within 10 miles of Exeter and from £15 elsewhere in East Devon. We bring everything, build it on site before your guests arrive and can collect it afterwards.

How long do the balloons last?

Indoor displays usually look their best for three to five days. Outdoors it depends on the sun and wind, and we'll advise you on the day.

Can I choose my own colours?

Of course. Pick up to four in the quote form, or ask us to suggest a palette that suits your theme.

Can I just hire light-up numbers?

Yes. Light-up numbers, sequin walls and neon signs can be hired on their own or added to any balloon design.

How do I secure my date?

Once you're happy with the design and price, a small deposit secures your date. The rest is due before the event.
