Helium Balloons Policy

Helium balloons are permitted with caution. If released into our 20’ ceilings, they can become entangled in the ceiling fan motors, risking damage and requiring staff to use a heavy 14’ A-frame ladder for removal. A penalty fee applies in these cases due to time, labor, and potential equipment failure.

Tip: Consider non-helium alternatives or ensure experienced handlers are present.
