What We Build for NYC Graduation Ceremonies
Every school and college has different colors, different spaces, and different needs. We build to fit all of them. Here's what our graduation packages typically include:
- Foil Letter & Number Displays — "Class of 2026," school names, graduation years. Suspended above stages or freestanding on columns. The most photographed element at any graduation.
- Balloon Arches — Classic or organic style. Framing stage entrances, auditorium doors, or building exteriors. Freestanding on weighted bases — no wall attachment needed.
- Spiral Balloon Columns — Flanking stages, podiums, and stairways. Available in any color combination to match school or university colors exactly.
- Stage Garlands — Continuous balloon garlands running the full length of a stage front. A polished, professional finishing detail that transforms any auditorium stage.
- Balloon Bouquet Trees — Clustered bouquets lining hallways, aisles, and corridors to guide guests and add color throughout the entire venue.
- Full Room Installations — Everything coordinated and installed by our crew on the day of the event. We arrive early, set up completely, and leave everything ready before the first family walks in.
