A balloon backdrop with cart, planned as one piece
This balloon backdrop with cart puts two pieces you could hire separately into one build. Two boards stand at the back. In front of them stands a display cart, and one balloon design runs across both in your colours. Our listing gives the reason: the backdrop and the cake or dessert display are designed together instead of being booked as two pieces that may not match. It is priced from KSh 37,000 per installation, and the final figure follows the design you agree with us. Our crew builds it at the venue, leaves it standing for the 24-hour hire, and takes it down. Transport is the separate line, worked out by distance from our yard in Uthiru.
Together, or the board and cart bought apart?
You can hire each half on its own. Our double backdrop with balloons is KSh 18,000, two boards listed at 2.4 m high and 2.4 m wide, and the candy cart for party display is KSh 25,000. Bought apart, those two come to KSh 43,000. This build is from KSh 37,000, designed as one. Whether it uses exactly those boards and that cart is something we confirm on your quote, along with the sizes.
What goes on the cart
The cart is the display; what sits on it is yours. Our listing names three uses: the cake, a spread of sweets, or the gifts. At a baby shower it can carry cupcakes and the gift bags; at a milestone birthday, the cake on a wooden cake stand with a pair of foil number balloons at its side. For a wedding cake and dessert table it stands in for the table itself. Tell us what will sit on it, how heavy the cake is, and whether anything needs to stay cool, so the design leaves room for it.
A backdrop for party photos that keeps guests off the boards
Here the cart earns its place. Savage Universal, a maker of paper photo backdrops, advises moving people a few steps away from a background, about 2 to 3 feet, so the shadows from the main light soften instead of landing hard on the wall behind them. Our listing makes the same point about the cart: it holds guests at the right distance for photographs. Our stand-alone balloon cart is listed 3 feet deep. If yours is that cart, guests at its front edge stand about that far from the boards, without anyone having to direct them.
Space, wind and the day itself
If your build uses the boards and cart from their own pages, the boards stand 2.4 m and the cart about 2.1 m, so the board tops clear the cart by roughly 25 to 30 cm. Measure the wall or the patch of lawn and send it with your booking; we confirm the sizes for your space. Indoors, check the doorway the boards come through. Outdoors, boards and balloons catch the wind, so the build wants level ground and some shelter, and if the weather turns, safety decides what stays up. Say how close a vehicle can park.
Other backdrop decorations for parties
Want something bigger? The butterfly double board adds a sculpted butterfly rising off its two boards, and our listing calls it the largest of our customised balloon builds. The three-board balloon backdrop spreads across three boards of 4 by 6 feet. Every board, wall and arch is compared on our balloon packages for parties page.

No questions yet. Ask anything — sizes, colours, how many you need for your guests, delivery to your area. We answer here, usually within a day.
How reviews work on Sherehe
- Every review is read by our team. We publish good and bad reviews alike — a low star rating is never a reason to hold one back.
- If we have not got to it, a review publishes by itself after 2 days — unless it contains a link, a phone number or words that need a look. Photos always wait for a person.
- Confirmed hire means we matched the review to a real Sherehe booking.
- If we ever correct a review — for example to remove a phone number — it says Edited by Sherehe.
- Nobody is paid or given a discount for a review. If that ever changes, the review will say so.
- Reviewers' contact details are never shown. Visitors can report anything that breaks these rules; reported items go back to our team.
Backdrop and cart questions
How much is a balloon backdrop with a cart?
From KSh 37,000 per installation, per installation. The design sets the final price, and transport is added by distance.
Is the cake or the sweets included?
No. The cart is the display; you bring what goes on it, or order the cake stand from us.
What size are the boards and the cart?
Our listing gives no size for this build. Tell us your space and we confirm both on your quote.
Can I have a name or a number on it?
Ask us with your design. Foil numbers are priced per digit; printing or lettering is confirmed on your quote.
What happens if it rains on the day?
Our canvas is heavy-duty and waterproof, and an ordinary Nairobi downpour is not a problem. What we will not pretend is that a tent is a guarantee against flooding, severe wind, storms or genuinely hazardous conditions. Where conditions become unsafe we may delay installation, change how we install, recommend an alternative location, suspend use of equipment or remove it. Safety decisions take priority over aesthetics and over the planned layout — that is not us being difficult, it is the one call we will always make the same way. Where weather prevents performance we work through the options with you first: delayed performance, alternative setup, substitution or rescheduling.
Will the colours match the photos exactly?
Very closely, but we would rather be honest about the small print of physical materials. Fresh flowers are natural products and vary slightly in colour, size and shape between batches. Balloon shades vary a little between manufacturers and production runs. And colours on a phone or laptop screen are never a perfect match for the same colour in daylight — that one catches people out more than anything else. Custom designs also need a degree of creative interpretation. Where a particular flower, colour or décor item becomes unavailable we will propose an equivalent, and anything materially different we discuss with you first. For custom boards, signs and printing, please check the proof carefully — once you have approved it, an error in the approved information may cost extra to reproduce.
