Hull of a
Party

Balloons & Decor for Any Occasion

It says it in the name: we throw a hell of a party. Statement balloons, considered styling and full event design, for people who want the room to look as good as the guest list.

( 01 — The studio )

Considered celebrations, colour-drenched and camera-ready.

We design the moment everyone photographs: the arch, the table, the whole room. One conversation, one moodboard, one seamless install while you get ready. All you do is walk in.

Every palette from barely-there neutrals to full technicolour, built from scratch for your venue. Nothing off a shelf, nothing you have seen at someone else's do.

( 02 — What we create )

Three ways to take a room.

01

Balloon installations

Organic garlands, arches and ceiling work in curated palettes. Sculptural, never shiny.

  • Organic garlands & arches
  • Number & letter pieces
  • Ceiling installs & walls
  • Personalised bubbles
02

Venue styling

Backdrops, tablescapes and the details in between. A hired hall, transformed.

  • Backdrops & shimmer walls
  • Tablescapes & centrepieces
  • Light-up numbers & neon
  • Props & finishing touches
03

Full event design

The whole room, art-directed. We plan, style, install and vanish before the first guest.

  • Theme & palette design
  • Complete venue dressing
  • Install before, strike after
  • One point of contact

Made to be photographed.

The kind of looks we build, from one statement garland to the whole room. Our own installs take over this grid as the parties happen.

How we work.

01

Nothing off the shelf.

Every install starts from a blank page: your venue, your palette, your moment. If you have seen it at someone else's party, it is not coming to yours.

02

Design first.

Moodboard before balloon. Every piece is planned to be photographed, from the arch down to the last place setting. If it does not earn its place in the picture, it does not go in the van.

03

Leave no trace.

We install before your guests arrive and strike everything after they leave. You never see the ladders, and nobody ends the night holding a bin bag.

( 05 — The collections )

Prices you can actually see.

( 06 — The process )

Three steps to the good bit.

Step 01

The brief

The date, the venue, the vibe, the colours you love and the ones you cannot stand. Ten minutes, tops.

Step 02

The design

A moodboard and a clear quote, usually within 48 hours. Refine it with us until it is exactly yours.

Step 03

The install

We arrive early, build quietly, and strike it all when the last guest leaves. You just walk in.

( 07 — Kind words )

The bit we care about most.

★★★★★

The arch stopped the whole room. People queued to be photographed in front of it.

Sophie · 30th · Hessle
★★★★★

Sage and gold everywhere, exactly the brief. The coolest party in Hull, according to my daughter.

Rachel · Sweet 16 · Kirk Ella
★★★★★

They dressed the venue in an afternoon and it looked like a magazine spread. Worth every penny.

Lily & Ellie.

Best mates, one shared obsession: rooms people cannot stop photographing.

Lily, co-founder of Hull of a PartyL

Lily

The planner

Moodboards, timelines and a glue gun she is not afraid to use. If your event has a plan, Lily wrote it, twice, with colour coding.

Ellie, co-founder of Hull of a PartyE

Ellie

The eye

Colour, proportion and an eye that never switches off. The reason the whole thing looks effortless is twenty decisions Ellie made before lunch.

( 10 — Good questions )

Before you ask.

How far ahead should we book?

Two to three weeks is comfortable for most parties, and larger events like weddings deserve a couple of months. Something sooner? Message us anyway, we love a challenge.

Do you deliver and set up?

Always. Every collection includes delivery, install and styling, and most include the strike too. You will never be handed a bin bag and wished good luck.

Which areas do you cover?

Hull and everywhere around it: Beverley, Cottingham, Hessle, Willerby, Anlaby, Kirk Ella, Hedon, Brough and across the East Riding. Further afield is usually easy to sort.

Can you match a theme or palette?

That is the fun bit. Send a Pinterest board, a screenshot, or three words, and we will design around it. Any theme, any palette, from barely-there neutrals to full technicolour.

What happens to everything afterwards?

We come back and strike it all. Latex balloons are biodegradable, foils are bagged for reuse where possible, and frames and props live to party again.

Do you take a deposit?

A small deposit holds your date, with the balance due on the day once you have seen the room and gasped appropriately.

( 11 — Say hello )

Let's plan yours.

Tell us the occasion. Ideas and a free quote come back within 24 hours, usually much sooner.
