How far in advance should I book?

For weddings and large events, we recommend booking 4–8 weeks in advance, especially during peak season (May through October). For smaller events like birthday parties and baby showers, 2–3 weeks is typically enough. We do occasionally have last-minute availability, so it's always worth reaching out even on short notice.

What's included in the price?

All of our packages include design consultation, balloon materials, delivery, professional installation, and teardown after your event. We don't charge separately for setup or removal — that's built into the quote. We'll give you a full itemized quote before you commit to anything.

Do you handle setup and teardown?

Yes, always. We arrive before your guests do, set everything up, and return at the end of your event to take everything down. You don't have to worry about a thing. Just enjoy your event and we'll handle the rest.

Can I customize colors and styles?

Absolutely — that's the whole point. Every installation is custom built for your event. We work with your color palette, theme, venue, and style preferences. If you have inspiration photos from Instagram or Pinterest, send them along and we'll work from those. No templates here.

What areas do you serve?

We primarily serve Lancaster County including Lancaster, Lititz, Ephrata, Manheim, Mount Joy, Elizabethtown, Strasburg, Columbia, and Millersville. We also travel to York, Harrisburg, and Lebanon for larger events. If you're not sure if we cover your area, just ask — we're happy to check.

How much do balloon arches cost?

Balloon arch pricing depends on size, style, and complexity. A basic 6-foot balloon arch typically starts around $150–$200. Larger organic arches for weddings or major events can range from $300 to $600 or more depending on the design. We always provide a detailed quote before you commit.

Every Event Gets Our Full Attention — Custom Designed, Personally Installed

We don't do cookie-cutter. Whether you're hosting an intimate baby shower in Lititz or a 200-person wedding reception in Lancaster, your event gets the same care and creativity. We work with your vision, your colors, and your venue to create something that photographs beautifully and makes your guests stop and look.

A Lancaster Original, Born From a Love of Beautiful Events

Lancaster Float Company started the same way most small businesses do — someone had a passion, friends and family kept asking for help, and eventually it became something real. We've been creating custom balloon installations across Lancaster County for several years now, and every event still feels as exciting as the first one.

We're a small, locally owned operation. That means you work directly with the person creating your installation, not a call center or a booking platform. We care about how your event turns out because we're your neighbor, not a franchise.

Lancaster has a wonderful event scene — from barn weddings in Lititz and Ephrata to corporate gatherings in downtown Lancaster and backyard parties in Millersville and Mount Joy. We know this community and we love being a part of your celebrations.

Balloon Arch vs Balloon Garland — Which Is Right for You?

Balloon arches and balloon garlands are both stunning display options for Lancaster PA events — but they create very different looks and work better in different settings. Here's how to choose the right one for your event.

What Is Balloon Arch?

A balloon arch is a structured, freestanding or wall-mounted display in a traditional arch shape. It creates a formal entryway or focal point and has been a staple of celebrations for decades.

What Is Balloon Garland?

Side-by-Side Comparison

Factor	Balloon Arch	Balloon Garland
Best For	Grand entrances, ceremony arches, photo op backdrops where a defined archway is desired, classic or formal event aesthetics	Bridal showers, birthday parties, baby showers, backdrop walls, table displays, and modern/organic aesthetic events
Pros	Iconic recognizable shape Freestanding option available (no wall needed) Symmetrical and formal	Incredibly versatile — works on any surface Organic, on-trend aesthetic Can fill large areas more cost-effectively Scales easily from small to large
Cons	More structured look — less versatile for organic aesthetics Requires specific placement logic to maintain shape	Not freestanding — needs a surface to drape on More informal look (intentional for most modern events)

When to Choose Balloon Arch

A balloon arch is a structured, freestanding or wall-mounted display in a traditional arch shape. It creates a formal entryway or focal point and has been a staple of celebrations for decades. Grand entrances situations are where balloon arch consistently outperforms the alternative. If your situation matches these conditions, balloon arch is likely the right call.

When to Choose Balloon Garland

A balloon garland is an organic, free-flowing strand of balloons in varied sizes arranged in clusters. It drapes naturally along walls, tables, stair railings, or any surface, creating a lush, textural backdrop. Bridal showers scenarios favor balloon garland. Understanding when balloon garland is the right tool saves both time and money.

Our Recommendation

If you want a grand entrance statement with a defined archway shape, go with a balloon arch. If you want a lush, modern backdrop that covers a wall or frames a dessert table, a garland delivers more visual impact per dollar. For many events, we combine both. We'll help you design the right look for your venue and budget.

Not Sure Which Option Is Right?

Call us and describe your situation. We’ll give you an honest recommendation before you commit to anything — no sales pressure.

"The balloon arch for my daughter's birthday was absolutely stunning. She walked in and completely lost it — in the best way. The colors matched perfectly and setup was done before I even had to think about it. Will be booking again for sure."

Birthday Party — Lititz, PA

"We hired Lancaster Float Co for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. The organic garland behind our head table was exactly what we had on our Pinterest board. Every guest asked who did the decor. Could not have been happier."

Megan & Tyler K.

Wedding — Lancaster, PA

"Booked for my sister's baby shower in Ephrata and they went above and beyond. The sage green and cream garland was so beautiful I almost didn't want to pop any of them. Communication was great from start to finish."

Amanda R.

Baby Shower — Ephrata, PA

"We used them for our company grand opening in downtown Lancaster. Very professional, very easy to work with, and the balloon columns looked great in photos. Our social media posts that day did really well because of how the display looked."

Daniel P.

Grand Opening — Lancaster, PA

"Graduation party arches for my son looked incredible. We gave them his school colors and they nailed it. They were set up early and the teardown was quick and clean. Easy process from the very first message."

Karen L.

Graduation Party — Manheim, PA

"I was nervous planning my first big party but they walked me through everything. Super responsive, arrived on time, and the installation was even better than the mock-up. Everything looked like it came out of a magazine."
