What people are saying about our balloons


Just wanted to say thank you so much for my Mom's balloon ride yesterday!
It was fabulous!!!! Everything about the experience was awesome.

A big thank you to Joe, Pat and Marty for Saturday nights Balloon ride. My Mom Barb loved it! I enjoyed it as well, and appreciate the hard work of setting up and tearing down done by Joe and Pat. The only thing that could have made the flight better was if the trees were in full Fall color.
My best picture of the night was of Marty's Balloon over this house, with the reflection in the lake. We had a very nice time, and just wanted to say thank you for all the work you do to make our once in a life time dreams to come true.

Best Regards: Paul Thompson


Dear Mr. & Mrs. Gauthier,

I want to sincerely Thank You for being so kind to my son, Andy. Words cannot express how thrilled he is to know you.

He has been an admirer of the Hot Air Balloon Festival, keeping his eyes to the sky for the entire event every year. He, of course is especially drawn to the "Andy" balloon.

This year he wanted to follow the Andy Balloon and I tried to talk him out of it. Not wanting to bother you, I said "let's look at another balloon Andy". but he stayed firm. I am glad that I let him because he was so thrilled that you remembered him and let him help.

Andy is a 'builder' at heart, so I know that reading about you building an airplane in your basement makes you 'totally awesome' in his eyes. I always say that Andy has to build or create something every single day to be the happiest.

We just can't thank you enough!

Sincerely,

Susan Blackburn and Andy


What an exiting time we had seeing first hand your balloon landing. As we saw you go over the house and realized you would be landing near by we felt like little kids again. Thanks for a great start in the day.

Hi Ted and Lynn,

I wanted to thank you both for working so hard to help me arrange a surprise balloon ride for my fiance after our rehearsal dinner in June. My fiance was COMPLETELY surprised and my videographer was there so he was able to catch the whole thing on film.

I blindfolded my fiance and he had NO IDEA what was going on! He was shocked when I took off the blindfold and he saw the balloon. It made our wedding video complete!

I really appreciate everything you did to make our wedding rehearsal special. It was a wonderful memory and I can’t thank you enough.

Thanks again! The ride was spectacular and it was the most amazing surprise I have ever given anybody and I couldn’t have done it without you!

Thank you very much".

Did you know that all of our balloon rides are "private"?

We will not put other passengers in your balloon like other balloon operators.
