UV Black Light Face Paint & LED Balloon Twisting FAQ
No matter how large your group, no matter what the age range, no matter what their backgrounds… we have you covered!
Our large-group foam parties can run up to 5 cannons at once to allow up to 150 guests enjoy the party at once.
Or, for a longer event on a schedule, our office team can work for you to schedule smaller interval foam moments for smaller groups throughout the event. We specialize in corporate event entertainment, and we can design the right solution for your needs.
Here’s what you can expect when you book a larger event with us:
- When you contact us, we’ll send you a list of options for different group sizes, durations, and budgets.
- Once you book the right foam party package for your event, you can move on to other details of your party.
- On the day of the event, our foam techs will arrive on-site 1 hour before their scheduled start time. They’ll find their event contact (either you or someone on your team, depending on what you tell us at booking) who will show them where to set up.
- The foam techs will set up the entirety of their station by themselves. (Pro tip: make sure your maintenance crew is on hand in case the building has any issues with water or electricity.)
- The foam techs will start at the scheduled start time, coordinating everything either with our house DJ or one that you’ve hired.
- That’s it! Now your guests (and you) get to enjoy the event.
- At the scheduled end time, the foam tech will break down everything before leaving. The foam will naturally dissolve, and there’s nothing for you to clean up.

How To Book UV Face Painting
I1. Can I do UV face painting with regular lights or outdoors?
No, UV face paint is black light-activated, meaning it only glows under UV or black lights. For the best effect, the space should be dark with black lights, so outdoor events during the day or under regular lights won’t work for UV face painting.
2. Do your packages come with black lights?
Our UV face paint RI packages do not automatically come with black lights, but we can provide them for a flat rental rate, separate from the artists. Let us know if you need lighting, and we’ll make sure your space is ready to glow!
3. Does UV face paint stain?
Yes, UV face paint can stain white clothing, so we recommend that guests wear clothing they don’t mind getting a bit dirty. While it’s easy to wash off skin, UV paints can leave permanent stains on light-colored fabrics.
4. How many lights do I need for my space?
We rent black lights in packs of 3, with each pack covering about 500 square feet. To determine how many light packs you need, calculate the total square footage of your event space and divide by 500. For example, a 1,500 square foot room would need 3 packs. If you’re unsure, contact us and we’ll help you figure it out!
5. What designs do you have?
For UV face painting, we stick to bold, simple designs that show up well under black lights. We offer a variety of fun designs on our menu, but if you’d like to request specific designs—like your logo or school colors—reach out to our office. We can discuss whether your ideas are practical with UV paints and make it happen!
How To Book LED Balloon Twisting
1. Do the balloons glow?
Yes! We add tiny LED lights inside the balloons, which make them glow brightly in the dark. These glowing balloons are perfect for creating a fun, futuristic vibe at nighttime events or dimly lit venues.
2. What designs do you have?
We focus on simple, iconic designs that are bold and easy to recognize in the dark. Popular options include classic shapes like a dog, flower, sword, or even an alien. These designs are perfect for LED balloon twisting because they look amazing when illuminated by the built-in lights.
3. Do we need UV lights for LED balloon twisting?
No, UV lights are not necessary for LED balloon twisting, as the balloons glow on their own. However, if you’re also doing UV face painting, the glowing balloons can complement the UV lighting beautifully, adding even more fun and excitement to the event! If you already have a UV light rental, LED balloons will fit right in with the glowing atmosphere.
Interview with Sarah, UV Face Paint Artist for Hire in RI
1. What is your face painting style like?
My face painting style is creative and adaptable, with a focus on bold, expressive designs that are fun for both kids and adults. I like to incorporate vibrant colors and playful patterns, whether it’s a simple butterfly for a child or something more detailed for adults. I always aim to make each design unique and tailored to the person I’m painting, so everyone feels like they’re getting their own little piece of art.
2. When do you prefer UV face painting over regular face painting?
I prefer UV face painting when the event has a nighttime or party atmosphere where you can really take advantage of the glowing effects under black lights. It’s perfect for festivals, themed parties, or any event where you want something that stands out. UV face paint adds an extra layer of excitement and is great for creating a memorable visual experience that you can’t achieve with regular face painting.
3. What parties are best for UV face painting?
UV face painting is perfect for glow-in-the-dark parties, nighttime festivals, dance parties, and club events. It’s especially fun at events where you want to create an exciting atmosphere with a lot of energy, like birthday parties for teens, Halloween events, or anything with a neon or rave theme. It works really well for any occasion where you want to add a unique, glowing touch to the entertainment.
4. Any tips for planning a great party with black light face paint?
To plan a great party with UV face painting, make sure you have enough black lights to cover the event space so that the face paint really pops. I recommend renting lights in packs and ensuring the space is dark enough for the UV effects to be visible. Also, let your guests know to wear dark or neon clothing, as it will enhance the glow effect under the black lights. Finally, keep the designs bold and simple to maximize the impact of the glow—complex designs can get lost under UV light. If you combine UV face painting with other glow-in-the-dark elements, like LED balloons or neon decorations, it can create a really dynamic, glowing atmosphere!

Encourage students to dress in neon or white to enhance the glow effect, and create an immersive atmosphere with upbeat music and glowing entertainment.
