About Us
Hi! I'm Shawn
founder of balloonery.com. I live, breathe, and dream balloons!
It all started one fall day in 2016 when I was asked to buy balloons for my 3-year-old niece’s birthday. Helpful Uncle Shawn happily headed off to one of the big box stores, as you do.
Little did I know the nightmare that awaited…
Overwhelmed by the options, underwhelmed by the quality, and unable to find a sole to ask a simple question. Not to mention the drama of trying to jam a dozen huge balloons into my tiny car!
“Surely there must be a better way to buy balloons?”
My infactuation with balloons was born that day. I imagined a one-stop balloon shop where you can get everything from a simple happy birthday bouquet to elaborate corporate and wedding decor. A home to the classic balloon arrangements that take us back to our childhood AND the latest in trendy organic decor.
Shortly thereafter, I launched Balloonery.com.
In the past six years we've grown from a tiny business run out of my basement and a minivan to now the largest independant balloon shop in Canada. We’ve helped more than 25,000 people in Toronto and GTA celebrate their birthdays, milestones, and important life events and are proud to have, what I believe is the most talented team of balloon artists in the industry.
