And Introducing… Sean Edwards, Founder & CEO

Sean Edwards • July 13, 2025

Founder. Visionary. Balloon Guy.

Some people are born to follow trends. Others are born to create them.


Meet Sean Edwards — the creative force behind The Balloon Guy, one of Los Angeles’ most dazzling luxury event brands. Known for jaw-dropping balloon installations, unforgettable parties, and moments that shimmer with magic,


Sean doesn’t just decorate a space — he transforms it.


But long before the celebrity events, red carpets, and high-profile collaborations with brands like Louis Vuitton, Disney, and Instagram, there was a kid with a balloon kit and a dream.



From Backyard Balloons to Beverly Hills



After studying at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts and later CalArts, Sean took his passion west, where he opened a small kiosk in a Los Angeles mall. One gig led to another — and another — until his phone rang with requests from A-list celebrities, high-end wedding planners, and global brands looking for something spectacular.


Today, Sean is the go-to visionary for events that demand beauty, emotion, and unforgettable moments.




More Than Balloons: A Movement of Joy

Sean’s mission is simple but bold: to spread joy. Whether it’s a 3-story balloon sculpture floating over a Soho House chandelier, a gender reveal that brings families to tears, or a DIY balloon kit that lets someone halfway across the country make their party magical — Sean’s work speaks the universal language of celebration.


But what sets him apart isn’t just the art. It’s the intention. The commitment to excellence. The professionalism that turns dreams into reality, and the personal touch that makes every client feel like the star.


Building a Brand, Elevating an Industry


In an era where anyone can call themselves a “decorator,” Sean is building an empire rooted in originality, heart, and high standards. With a growing team of artists, entertainers, and event professionals, he’s expanding The Balloon Guy into a national lifestyle brand — one that includes a podcast, a luxury DIY kit line, and a new event concept store called Joywell.


From the very first twist of a balloon to the last sparkling moment of a New Year’s Eve drop, Sean Edwards isn’t just here to decorate — he’s here to make history.


A Star Is Born

Whether you're a client, a collaborator, or just someone stumbling across his name on Google, here’s what you need to know:


Sean Edwards is joy in motion.  He’s an artist of the air.  And he’s only getting started.


Sean Edwards is the Founder and Expert Balloon Decorator and Balloon Artist at The Balloon Guy in Los Angeles, CA.

To kick off 2025, we at The Balloon Guy LA had the honor of creating a spectacular New Year’s Eve celebration at a breathtaking Beverly Hills mansion, just off Sunset Boulevard. The centerpiece of the event was a stunning installation of LED-lit balloons designed to illuminate the night sky and set the perfect tone for a night of elegance, celebration, and wonder. Our goal was to turn the client’s vision into reality by transforming the entire space into a glowing, magical experience. From the moment guests arrived, the ambiance of soft, shimmering light created an atmosphere that was both festive and dreamlike. This was more than just décor—it was an unforgettable experience that defined the evening. Bringing the Vision to Life Our collaboration with the client began with detailed discussions around their idea for glowing light balloons as the focal point of the celebration. They wanted something that would captivate guests and create a warm, ethereal atmosphere. From design sketches to placement strategies, we worked closely with the client to ensure that every detail aligned with their vision.  The final setup exceeded expectations. The glowing balloons were arranged to provide depth and dimension to the venue, acting both as a visual spectacle and a functional light source. Seeing the awe on guests’ faces as they entered the illuminated space was truly rewarding. The client expressed their joy, calling it “a night to remember,” and guests shared similar sentiments, describing the event as one of the most impressive New Year’s Eve experiences they’d ever attended. Reflecting on a Magical Night For our team, the highlight of the evening was witnessing how the glowing balloons transformed the space. Their soft, radiant light created a focal point that tied together the entire event’s aesthetic. It was moments like these—when all elements seamlessly came together to create awe and excitement—that reminded us why we do what we do. As we move forward into the new year, we’re excited about the opportunities ahead, including an upcoming romantic beach proposal. Designing a moment that combines the natural beauty of the ocean with our creative décor is something we’re thrilled to bring to life. Events like this New Year’s Eve celebration are what drive our passion. At The Balloon Guy LA, we take pride in working with our clients to craft truly unique experiences, filled with creativity and care. We’re grateful for the trust our clients place in us to help them celebrate life’s most special moments.
