Our process · About the studio

Two designers. Zero things for you to do.

Made by MJ is exactly two people: MJ, who designs and installs every piece, and Angelo, who makes sure everything arrives, fits, and happens on time. No crews of strangers, no drop-shipped kits — the people you talk to are the people who show up.

How it works

From first call
to finished room.

01

Consult

We start with a conversation — your milestone, your venue, your colors, your guest count. Within one business day you receive a single all-inclusive quote. Design, materials, delivery, installation, and styling: one number. We never itemize, and we never surprise you at the end.

02

Design

MJ composes your installation with professional grade balloons — thicker walls, richer color, and a fraction of the pop rate of anything from a party aisle. Colorways are blended for your event specifically; we don't reuse designs, and we don't do "standard."

03

Personalize

This is the signature. Names, dates, monograms, and phrases are cut in-house on our Cricut in custom vinyl — matched to your palette and applied to backdrops, signage, and keepsake pieces. Your daughter's name in nine-inch script above the arch is the photo everyone takes home.

04

Install

On the day, both of us arrive early with everything pre-built that can be pre-built. We install, style the room corner to corner, photograph it for you, and are gone before your first guest parks. Teardown can be arranged the same way — invisible.

Why clients stay

Small studio,
deliberate choices.

One transparent price

Most decorators quote low, then itemize upward. We quote once, all-inclusive, and hold it. What we say is what you pay.

Professional materials only

professional grade balloons, commercial frames, real vinyl. It photographs better at 9 pm than consumer product looks at 9 am.

Two sets of hands, one standard

Every install is executed by the two people whose name is on the studio. Nothing is delegated, so nothing is diluted.
