My Story ☆ Sobre Mi!

But most people know me as 'The Balloon Lady.' I'm the founder of Fly High Balloons, LLC, based in Burtonsville, MD. Originally from Lima, Peru, I made my way to the United States in 2002. I'm a grateful wife and a blessed mom of four wild and wonderful kids. 

I have a deep love for food (Yes, I am Peruvian, I can't help it), parties, and all things creative. I'm on a mission to turn the impossible into reality for you. Those who know me well recognize my passion for problem-solving and giving my all to the things and people I hold dear.

Seeing our unique, fun balloon creations come to life fills me with immense joy, a feeling I hope our customers experience when they receive a Fly High Balloon arrangement.

In life, my greatest desire is to see my loved ones realize their dreams and smile. This small business is a tribute to the memory of three special individuals I hold dear: my aunt, Charito; my father-in-law, Sid; and my baby brother, Jose "Tata". I honor their memory by pursuing my passions and making the most of every precious moment on this Earth.

Intending to live life to the fullest and spread happiness even in the darkest times, "Fly High Balloons, LLC" officially took flight in May 2022. I'm excited to see where the future leads and I can't wait to make sure the special day is the best memory for you.

Thank you for supporting my business and allowing my dream to 

"Fly High!"

From the bottom of my heart ♥
