Balloon Art and Beyond: Megan Manchester's Creative Enterprise Takes Flight

by Janet Pattison

Fun-loving entrepreneur Megan Manchester has turned the Gulf Coast into a whimsical wonderland with her businesses, Balloon Art Events - 30A and PCB Tents and Events. Originally hailing from the deserts of Arizona, Megan and her husband Justin made a colorful splash in the community when they relocated in 2020 to be closer to family after the birth of their first child.

Megan, armed with a degree in Business/Communications and a background as a corporate and special events coordinator, started her unique business idea with a heartwarming job for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. After transforming a child's home into a balloon-filled fantasy, Megan realized the transformative power of balloon art and decided to turn it into a full-time gig.

In May 2021 Megan went full time into Balloon Art Events - 30A, and wasted no time making her mark. The bustling workshop in Lynn Haven, where she orchestrates her balloon masterpieces, became the beating heart of her creative operation in December 2022.

From birthdays and holiday events to business grand openings, sporting events, and city-wide celebrations, Megan's balloon sculptures have become synonymous with joy. During the tourist season, a whopping 80% of her projects are dedicated to crafting memorable experiences for beachside bachelorette parties, adding an extra layer of festivity to Gulf Coast hotels.

Not content with confining her creativity to balloons, Megan expanded her repertoire to include marquee lights as part of her decor offerings. Embracing the mantra of "bringing people's visions to life," Megan's artistic touch has taken events from ordinary to extraordinary.

The evolution didn't stop there. Sensing a demand for more event-related services, Megan launched PCB Tents and Events, broadening her scope. "My favorite thing is to bring people's visions to life," says Megan, reflecting on her passion for turning dreams into reality.

Clients looking to transform their spaces need only bring a sketch or a photo from the internet to Megan, who takes care of the design and installation. And for those concerned about post-party cleanup, Megan has a simple solution: "Clean-up is easy, you just pop it and throw it away."

With the March to October tourist season being the busiest period, Megan welcomes the assistance of fellow design enthusiasts. If you've got a flair for decor and a passion for making events unforgettable, Megan encourages you to give her a call.

Whether you're dreaming of a balloon-filled extravaganza or envisioning an event under the stars with twinkling marquee lights, Megan Manchester is the creative genius turning your fantasies into realities along the Gulf Coast.
