Colorful, vibrant, and ridiculously fun since 2019. Party on Butler is a full-service balloon and event company based in Pittsburgh. From our 8,500-square-foot studio, a converted firehouse, we design balloon installations, florals, marquee letters, and complete events for celebrations all over the Pittsburgh area, and we host them in our own private event space.
It started, like a lot of good things do, as a side hustle. Our founder, Melinda, began making balloon décor for friends' and family's parties and quickly realized she loved it. Inspired by the bold, oversized balloon installs Kim Kardashian was putting up at her biggest celebrations, she set out to bring that same wow factor home to Pittsburgh.
Our very first client was Amazon — and when a company that size was impressed, we knew we had something. We named the business Party on Butler after Butler Street in Lawrenceville, where we opened our first store. For three years we served the neighborhood with balloon installations and party supplies out of a scrappy little warehouse, then grew into our current home: a converted Pittsburgh firehouse with 8,500 square feet of room to dream up — and pre-build — your celebration.
We're all about color, vibrance, and fun. That's our lane and we own it — if you want a celebration that truly pops, you're in the right place.
Your balloons are blown up and ready before we get there, so setup never eats into your venue rental time. Anyone who's rented a space by the hour knows how much that matters.
We send a custom mock-up so you know exactly what you're getting — no surprises on the day.
Two very different worlds we happen to be really, really good at — they're our bread and butter.
Balloons, florals, marquee letters, rentals, planning, and a private event space — all under one roof.
Proud to have been voted Best Event Planner in Pittsburgh — and we're just getting started.
We've created installations for People Magazine, Duolingo, Google, Amazon, GNC, Giant Eagle, Coca-Cola, and the Pittsburgh Pirates — more than 100 brands in all. We brought the balloons to the NFL Draft at the Gateway Clipper, and we're proud to have been voted Best Event Planner in Pittsburgh.
Before Party on Butler, Melinda sharpened her eye for large-scale art installations at Christie's auction house in New York City. She brought that experience back home to Pittsburgh to build something of her own — and seven years (and a set of twins) later, she still leads the studio and can't wait to see where it grows next.
From design and build day to delivery, setup, and teardown, our crew handles every detail so you can just show up and celebrate.
