Please book your event at least 2 weeks beforehand.

A full payment will be required 2 days before the installation or set up date. I accept Paypal, debit card or credit card (via Paypal), cash or money orders.
Liability
I will not be responsible for injury or damage to persons or property involving the goods or products we offer. The client is responsible to pay in full for any damaged or broken serving platters, glassware or rental items.
Cancellation
For Event Styling & Balloon Styling:
If the client needs to cancel the event, a written letter must be submitted by email or mail. The client will be given the option to reschedule the event date and use the deposit as a credit to book a new event date within 1 years time. The 50% deposit is non-refundable. If you have paid in full already, a refund will be based on how much money I spent already & the amount of time I put into your event.

In the case of force majeure clause, or an act of God, such as severe weather or a tragedy, I reserve the right to cancel the event. If I need to cancel for this or any other reason, a refund will be given in full.
Indemnification clause
I will not be held responsible for negligence or willful acts at the hand of the client or event attendees. Such examples may include damage to venue, if an attendee or client gets injured, or if the client or attendees ignore safety regulations.
Copyright
I reserve the right to use any photographs I take of parties or balloon garlands on my website or for advertising purposes. Clients may not edit my photos or change them in anyway. These photos are under copyright of Joy in the Commonplace. I will not take pictures of you or your guests and use them without your permission.
All concepts, designs and handmade decorations remain the property of Joy in the Commonplace.
balloon disclaimer
All of the balloons that I use are high quality! However, due to the natural of balloons, some may deflate occasionally on their own. For outdoor balloon installations, I cannot fully guarantee that all balloons will remain intact and in perfect condition. Occasionally, balloons may deflate in the heat or sunlight. Balloons may be adversely affected by wind, rain, severe weather, or other factors out of my control. Balloons will naturally fade over time in the sunlight and become less shiny.
Kids & Pets Cautions
Uninflated or burst balloons can be a choking hazard and should never be left with children without supervision. Keep balloons away from pets so that they don’t get tangled with balloon ribbons or accidentally ingest popped balloons or their decorative contents like confetti.
Helium Balloons
Helium is not toxic or flammable. However inhaling helium by mouth can result in loss of consciousness due to insufficient oxygen.
Disposal of balloons
I do not offer take down services for balloons. To dispose of them yourself, cut a small slit near the stem of the balloon using scissors.
Setup & Take Down
For Event Styling: I need at least 4 hours prior to the event to set up and decorate. Also, I will need 1-2 hours after the event to take it down.
For Balloon Styling: I will need at least 1-2 hours before the event to install the balloon garland. I do not offer take down services.
