Success Stories
"I used Julia with Cantwell Creates to set up a balloon arch for my mobile bar! It was absolutely stunning! The set up was so sturdy! We had a huge storm with heavy winds come through and that balloon arch didn't move!!! I'm so glad we went with Cantwell Creates for our display! Highly recommend!!!"

Julia at Cantwell Creates is a master at her craft! Very professional to work with. Gave her some inspiration pictures for my bachelorette party and she made magic!! Not only is her work creative but the quality of the balloons is outstanding. Can't recommend her enough and will continue to use her!“

The Owner of Cantwell Creates
Hello, I am Julia!
I'm a mom to two little girls, a golden retriever named Hank, and the person behind Cantwell Creates. What started as a fun way to decorate for friends' birthday parties and baby showers turned into something much bigger, and Cantwell Creates was officially started in 2024.
I love creating parties that feel personal, whether that means designing a balloon garland around an invitation, adding the perfect little details to a backdrop, or going completely over the top for my own kids' birthdays. After previously living in Tennessee, I now call Northeast Ohio home and can't wait to create something for your next celebration!
