About Us
Balloon World is a professional balloon decorating company located in the heart of Central Florida. Founded in 1979 by Melanie Maracek, the company was purchased in 1987 by Guy Rexford and incorporated by co-owners Guy Rexford and Randy Jones in April, 1993.
Guy Rexford, President and Certified Balloon Artist, brought over 25 years of expertise in balloon decorating and party planning. First as an advertising executive, Guy helped develop promotional products for one of the leading pharmaceutical companies in the United States. Prior to purchasing Balloon World, he co-founded another successful balloon company Gainesville, Florida.
Randy Jones, Vice President, came to Balloon World with over 30 years in professional kitchen, bath and interior design. He handled the everyday business side of the company as well as being an integral part of the production team for all events.
In 2022, David Meister, a lifelong special event-industry entrepreneur, purchased the company and became the latest owner of Balloon World. David brings nearly 20 years of expertise in operating and growing service businesses to the company. In the same year, Balloon World moved into its new home; a 12,000 sqft facility to better serve its current and future clientele.
