Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest balloon arch I can get?
The most affordable professional balloon arch is a half arch, starting at $350. It covers one side of an entrance or table and works well for smaller events. For a full freestanding arch, prices start at $450.
How much does a large balloon arch cost?
A large balloon arch — spanning 10 feet or more with high-density organic styling — typically ranges from $1,200 to $2,500. Grand entrance arches and multi-arch installations start at $1,500 and can reach $3,500 or more depending on complexity.
Does balloon arch pricing include setup and delivery?
At Alina Balloon, every arch price includes design consultation, all materials, delivery anywhere in LA County, professional installation, and post-event breakdown. There are no hidden fees or add-on charges.
Can I get a balloon arch for under $500?
Yes. A half arch starts at $350 and a simple freestanding arch starts at $450. These are professional-grade installations with premium balloons, not DIY kits. They work beautifully for birthday parties, baby showers, and smaller celebrations.
What is the price difference between indoor and outdoor balloon arches?
Outdoor arches typically cost 15-25% more than comparable indoor arches due to weather-resistant materials, weighted bases, and UV-stable balloons required for sun and wind exposure. An indoor arch starting at $450 might be $550-$600 for an outdoor installation.
