A few helpful details.

I'm Karlie, and I started Poptastic Parties in 2021 after years of decorating celebrations for friends, family and my daughter's school. We're a woman owned, family operated balloon decor business with a studio in Pleasanton and a team of trained installers. I oversee every job, from backyard birthdays in Livermore to company events in San Francisco.

We're based in Pleasanton and set up balloon decor all around the Bay Area. That includes Danville, San Ramon, Dublin and Livermore near our studio, plus the East Bay, San Francisco and the Peninsula, and the South Bay down to San Jose. Don't see your city? Send us your event location and date and we'll let you know if we can make it.

Custom installations start at $650, and that covers the design, delivery, setup and cleanup. If you'd rather hang it yourself, our Grab & Go garlands start at $150 and you pick them up at our Pleasanton studio. Your quote depends on the design, size, location and venue access, so tell us your budget and we'll suggest something that fits.

We design the decor around your space and colors, deliver it, set it up and clean up afterward. Most installs are done within an hour. Very large ones take about two hours, and complex custom builds take longer. Early morning installs and late night teardowns are available when your venue needs them.

Yes, company events are a big part of what we do. We've decorated for Workday, Google, Yelp, Meta and Kaiser Permanente, from grand openings in Pleasanton to branded backdrops in San Jose and a Golden Gate Bridge sculpture in San Francisco. Send your brand colors and approved logo artwork and we'll design around them. We're insured, can send a certificate of insurance, and invoice companies directly.

Yes. We can quote and invoice your planning company or work directly with your client, whichever you prefer. One of our team members is your contact on event day, and we sort out parking, loading, elevators and attachment rules before we arrive. We've worked with planners on everything from a bar mitzvah at the Lafayette Veterans Memorial Building to a birthday at a Livermore winery.

Yes. We create arches, garlands and backdrops for ceremonies, receptions and photo areas, all in the couple's colors. Send us your date, venue and the look you have in mind, and we'll suggest a setup that fits the room. We set up at venues all over the Bay Area, from Danville to San Francisco.

Absolutely. We set up backyard birthdays, baby showers and graduation parties at homes in Pleasanton, Danville, San Ramon and all over the Bay Area. Share your theme and an inspiration photo, and we'll build the colors and design around your space.

Yes, but wind, heat, direct sun and what we attach to all affect the design and how long the balloons last. Tell us about your outdoor spot, whether it's a backyard in Livermore or a patio in Dublin, and we'll plan the placement and timing around it. We can't guarantee how long balloons last outdoors, so we'll be honest with you about what will hold up.

The balloons we primarily use are biodegradable natural rubber latex, made from sap harvested from rubber trees. We use these balloons to create our arches, garlands and installations. So you can celebrate with beautiful, custom decor and feel good about choosing a natural, renewable material.

Our Grab & Go garlands come in 6 to 10 ft lengths in the colors you pick, fully assembled and ready to pick up at our studio at 5502 Sunol Blvd, Suite 205 in Pleasanton. Hanging materials and a video showing how to hang it are included. They start at $150, and we can deliver one for an added fee.

Our latex balloons are made from natural rubber latex harvested from rubber trees. This material naturally biodegrades over time. Some designs also include foil (mylar) balloons. Please keep all balloons secured, never release them into the air, and dispose of them properly after your celebration.

Yes, we offer helium balloons. A minimum order applies to helium-only orders. Get in touch with what you have in mind, and we’ll walk you through the options.

Yes. Our Grab & Go garlands are a smaller-budget option, with colors customized to your celebration. You can pick up your garland in Pleasanton, or ask about delivery for an additional fee.

Indoor garlands can last three weeks to a month when kept away from direct heat and sunlight, but their lifespan isn’t guaranteed. Weather, pets, children, rough surfaces, foliage, and hot or crowded cars can cause balloons to pop or deflate sooner. We can’t guarantee their condition after delivery or pickup.

We recommend booking at least 2 to 4 weeks ahead so there's time to check your date and get the design right. Large installations, custom signs and venues with strict access rules may need more time. If your event is sooner, reach out anyway. We take last minute events and will tell you what's possible in the time you have.
