FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
GENERAL FAQ's
How do I book Creative Islander?
Every booking begins by submitting an inquiry through our website. Once we receive your inquiry, we'll review your event details, confirm availability, and provide a proposal or consultation if needed. A booking is secured only after your invoice, signed agreement, and Reservation Retainer have been received.
How far in advance should I book?
The sooner, the better. We recommend booking at least 2–4 weeks in advance for most events. Larger installations, weddings, and peak seasons may require additional notice. Last-minute bookings are accepted based on availability and may be subject to a rush fee.
What areas do you serve?
We proudly serve Colorado Springs, Fountain, Monument, Castle Rock, Denver, and surrounding communities. Travel outside our standard service area is available for an additional travel fee.
BALLOONS & INSTALLATIONS
Can you recreate a photo I found online?
We love using inspiration photos to understand your style. While we do not copy another artist's work, we'll create a custom design inspired by your vision and tailored specifically for your event.
How long do balloon installations last?
Balloon longevity depends on temperature, sunlight, humidity, wind, and handling. Indoor installations often last several days or longer, while outdoor installations have a much shorter lifespan due to weather conditions.
Do you offer setup and breakdown?
Yes. Delivery and professional installation are included with qualifying bookings. Breakdown services are available for an additional fee and should be requested during the booking process.
RENTALS
What rental items do you offer?
Our rental collection includes items such as our Reflection Mirror, Garden Wall, Heart Installation, Spotlight Frame, easels, display stands, and other specialty décor. Inventory continues to grow, so check our Rentals page for the latest offerings.
Is a security deposit required?
Certain rental items require a refundable security deposit. Deposit requirements will be listed on your proposal or invoice.
What happens if rental equipment is damaged?
Clients are responsible for rental items from delivery until pickup. Damage beyond normal wear may result in repair or replacement charges as outlined in our Service Agreement.
