Our core strength lies in creating personalized, high-quality experiences with a “luxury” touch.
“Friendly luxury” is at the heart of our ethos. It means we deliver the highest standards of event design, quality, and execution typically associated with luxury services, but we do so with a warm, approachable, and collaborative spirit. We prioritize clear communication, listen intently to our clients, and aim to make the planning process enjoyable and stress-free, ensuring you feel supported and understood every step of the way while receiving a truly premium outcome for your London event.

Once approved, we move into detailed design and planning, supplier coordination, and finally, on-the-day execution and management. We ensure open communication and collaboration throughout, tailoring our involvement to your specific requirements for your London event.
Absolutely. We understand that every event has a budget. During our initial consultation, we discuss your budgetary considerations, and our proposals are designed to provide options and transparency. We are skilled at maximizing impact within various budget ranges, ensuring you receive exceptional value and a beautiful outcome for your London celebration without compromising on quality or our signature friendly luxury.
We cater to events of all sizes in London, from grand, large-scale productions to smaller, more intimate gatherings. Our approach is always to provide the same level of dedication, creativity, and attention to detail, regardless of the event’s size. We believe every celebration deserves to be special and beautifully executed.
We recommend booking as far in advance as possible, especially for weddings and larger events, or if your event date falls within a peak season in London. Popular dates can get booked up quickly. However, please don’t hesitate to contact us even for shorter lead times, as we will always do our best to accommodate your needs if our schedule permits.
We offer both comprehensive event planning and design services as well as specific, à la carte services.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Balloon Decorations by Star Events Design, London
We use a wide variety of high-quality balloons, including latex, foil, and bubble balloons, in an extensive range of colours, sizes, and finishes (such as matte, chrome, pearl, and confetti-filled). We prioritize sourcing from reputable manufacturers and offer eco-friendly and biodegradable latex balloon options for our London clients wherever possible.
The lifespan of balloon decorations can vary depending on the type of balloons used and environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, exposure to direct sunlight). Indoor air-filled latex balloon installations can last for several days, even weeks, while helium-filled latex balloons typically float for 12-24 hours (though this can be extended with special treatments).
