About Us
Meet the Founder and Creator Behind the Balloons.
Welcome! My name is Dana Yawn, LCSW, the Founder and Creative Balloon Designer of Party Popping Events, LLC.
For as long as I can remember, I have been passionate about creativity, design, and transforming ordinary spaces into unforgettable experiences. Long before Party Popping Events was established, I was the person family, friends, and community organizations turned to when they needed decorations for special occasions. Seeing the joy that thoughtfully designed event decor brought to others inspired me to turn that passion into a business.
To build a strong foundation, I invested in professional balloon décor training, industry courses, and countless hours studying the art and mechanics of balloon design. I continue to participate in ongoing education and industry training to stay current with the latest trends, techniques, and innovative designs, ensuring that every client receives a high-quality and modern event experience.
Today, I have the privilege of creating custom balloon décor for life's most meaningful celebrations. From birthdays, baby showers, and bridal showers to corporate events, grand openings, graduations, and holiday celebrations, Party Popping Events specializes in bringing each client's unique vision to life.
As an award-winning balloon artist and entrepreneur, I believe that every event deserves personalized attention and exceptional service. From our first conversation, I take the time to learn about your vision, style, color preferences, and event goals. Together, we create a design that reflects your personality and leaves a lasting impression on your guests.
At Party Popping Events, we are committed to creating memorable moments—one balloon at a time. Whether you're planning an intimate celebration or a large-scale event, our goal is to transform your space into something extraordinary.
Thank you for considering Party Popping Events for your special occasion. I look forward to working with you and helping bring your vision to life.
Warmly,
Dana Yawn
Founder & Creative Designer

"Party Popping Events did a perfect job on providing a beautiful balloon arch for a baby shower I was hosting! Dana was great to work with from start to finish, she was easy to communicate with and took a lot of time to make sure the arch was exactly what I envisioned. I will use Party Popping Events and recommend to anyone looking for balloon services".
