Wilhelmina Balloon Installations creates and installs custom balloon décor for business events and private celebrations across the Milwaukee area.
Tell us where the celebration will happen and what you want people to notice first. It might be the entrance to your new business, the birthday table or a place for family photographs. We’ll help you choose the arrangement and work through the details for your space.
At a ribbon cutting, the balloons share the entrance with your sign, the ribbon and the people opening the business. At an employee celebration, the main gathering place might be a stage or a photo area.
Show us which part of the occasion carries the message. We create balloon installations for offices, retail spaces and event venues, with a design brief that gives that moment a clear place in the room.
Give us a detail that belongs to the person or occasion: a favorite color, an age, a graduation year or an invitation you have already chosen. That gives the design somewhere to begin.
For a birthday, you might want balloons beside the cake table. For graduation, you may want a backdrop wide enough for the family to join the photograph. We create décor for these celebrations and coordinate delivery and installation with your event schedule.
Choose a design by the part of the event it needs to serve. The options below explain where each format can work and give you a starting point for the budget.
Wilhelmina is based in Port Washington and serves events across:
We’ve shaped balloons into Christmas trees for Kapco’s Kids2Kids event and created warm- and cool-colored arches for the Fond du Lac Charity Club’s fire-and-ice gala. Our completed work also includes décor for a Milwaukee Bucks celebration in the Deer District.
Businesses and families across Milwaukee trust Wilhelmina Balloon Installations for creative balloon displays, professional installation, and reliable event service.

Amy LuethOur company used Wilhelmina to create decorations for the Grand Opening of our new building. Lauri was so great to work with. Her decorations were beautiful, and she was very friendly. Customer service was outstanding as well. There was an issue with one of our columns due to the outdoor elements and she drove right over to the facility to fix the issue. She also texted a half an hour prior to the event just to check in and make sure everything was still looking good. I highly recommend Wilhelmina!Posted on Google

Start with the date and venue. If you already have a design brief, send it. If your ideas are still taking shape, a room photo and the occasion give us a useful place to begin.
All orders begin through our estimate form. We respond within 24–48 hours and first check whether your date is available. Once the design details are agreed, we send a formal estimate. You then review the terms and complete the required payment arrangements to reserve the event.
Once you have your date, try to book at least 30 days before it. Closer dates are worth an enquiry; we’ll check what the schedule allows.
Planning an outdoor display? Include the surface, weather exposure and the hours the balloons need to be in place. We review outdoor installations for the setting; balloon lifespan after delivery cannot be guaranteed.
Send a photo of the room as it is today. We’ll help you decide what belongs there for the celebration.
Businesses across Wisconsin trust Wilhelmina for professional balloon installations at grand openings, corporate events, and brand promotions.
At Wilhelmina, a six-foot organic garland starts at $150, a classic balloon column at $150 and a demi arch at $275. These prices apply to the named designs. The size, styling and work required at your venue determine the final estimate.
We recommend reserving your installation at least 30 days before the event. If you have less notice, send your date and venue so we can check the schedule. A shorter lead time does not automatically rule out a booking.
