Before you book

Planning & booking

How to start when you have a date, a theme, a venue, or just a rough party idea.

Celebrica is led by Tim Zozulia and Hanna Zozulia, a Ukrainian family bringing event experience, creative party energy, and a growing celebration storefront to Austin, Texas.

Start with the date, event location, guest count, age range, theme, and any catalog items you like. Celebrica can then suggest a connected plan across services, balloons, rentals, decorations, and packages.

You can book one service, one rental, a few decor pieces, or a full package. The catalog is meant to work both ways: simple add-ons for smaller parties and coordinated plans for bigger celebrations.

Earlier is better for weekends, school events, popular themes, and parties that need rentals or custom decor. If the event is soon, still send the request; Celebrica will confirm what is realistic for the date.

Party energy

Services & entertainment

Face painting, balloons, bubbles, hands-on activities, and how the entertainment side works.

No. Celebrica offers face painting, balloon twisting, glitter bar, art stations, cupcake decorating, bubble experiences, photo zone decor, balloons, pinatas, digital invitations, rentals, and party packages.

A standard detailed design usually takes around 6 minutes, so a 1-hour party is best for about 10 children. For larger groups, Celebrica can simplify the design menu or recommend more time.

Yes. Face painting, balloon twisting, bubble experiences, glitter bar, art stations, and decor can be combined when the schedule and setup area support it.

Yes. Toddlers, preschoolers, elementary-age children, and mixed family events need different pacing. Celebrica can recommend the right service mix for the guest count and age range.

The setup pieces

Decor, rentals & items

How balloons, themed items, photo zones, rentals, pinatas, and decorations fit into a party plan.

The catalog can include party rentals, themed items, photo-zone pieces, helium balloons, pinatas, decorations, and package add-ons. Availability depends on the booking date and current inventory.

Yes. Photo-zone decor can be planned around a theme, color palette, age, venue, and the amount of space available. Share inspiration photos if you have them.

Yes. Custom themes are possible when there is enough lead time for sourcing, preparation, and setup planning. Simple color direction can usually be handled faster than highly specific custom builds.

Some packages combine entertainment, party items, balloons, decor, or rentals so the celebration feels cohesive. You can also use packages as a starting point and adjust the details.

Event day

Safety & setup

What Hanna brings, what the host provides, and how kid-friendly materials and setup are handled.

Yes. Hanna uses professional hypoallergenic face paints from trusted American and European brands, plus cosmetic glitter suitable for face painting.

Hanna brings the table, chairs, mirror, and materials. She needs a comfortable shaded setup spot that does not block guest pathways.

The paint is water-based. Use baby wipes or a wet cloth for most of it, then baby soap and warm water for a full wash.

Some rentals, balloons, and photo-zone pieces need wall clearance, level ground, indoor space, shade, or access time before guests arrive. Celebrica will confirm those details before the event.

Quote details

Pricing & service area

How quotes are shaped and what to know about Austin-area travel, timing, and availability.

Pricing depends on the event scope, selected services, timing, setup needs, and location. Catalog services and items have their own pricing, including face painting, balloon twisting, bubble experiences, photo zone setup, helium balloons, pinatas, rentals, and package options. Sales tax is included in the price.

The quote depends on booking date, duration, location, guest count, selected services, decor complexity, rentals, setup time, travel, and whether custom sourcing is needed.

Celebrica travels throughout Austin, Texas. Nearby cities can be discussed based on the event location, date, schedule, and order size.

Yes. Share the range you want to stay near, and Celebrica can suggest the highest-impact services, rentals, or decor pieces first.
