Just Say Cheese Offers Personalized, Hassle-Free Party Planning Help
By Patrick Sherry
Just Say Cheese 3, a balloon styling and party planning business, strives to make every event a special moment for all attendees. From kids’ birthday parties to weddings, the company specializes in making custom décor to elevate your celebration and fit your vision of the perfect party.
Mayrin Pirela is the founder and owner of Just Say Cheese 3, which operates the Say Cheese Showroom in Wellington. She is a professional balloon designer who creates amazing party décor items. Her wide range of offerings include balloon structures, party supplies, welcome signs and more, all personalized to save you time and allow you to enjoy your celebration.
Pirela’s business offers help with every detail of big celebrations. She partners with others to provide additional party items, anything from a cake to a DJ, to make the process as enjoyable and stress-free as possible.
“If you want help for somebody, or you want someone to help create a moment, I am here for you,” Pirela said. “I can help you with everything. The budget isn’t important; I try my best for small and big budgets.”
The showroom, located at the Wellington Marketplace plaza, displays the wide range of party designs that Pirela can offer. With balloons in every color, plushies of fan-favorite characters and custom signs, the showroom provides a glimpse into what your next celebration could look like.
Pirela said that she wanted to open a physical store because it was an opportunity to be able to have customers come in person and see first-hand what she can do.
“I need some place where you can come and talk with somebody and create,” she explained.
Indeed, the Say Cheese Showroom is a one-stop shop to prepare your ideal party. Pirela said she is dedicated to customer satisfaction and transforming every event into a memorable experience. But she can also help make even the smallest surprise or gift into something unforgettable. For example, she can create a bespoke gift box and bouquets with an array of eye-catching features.
“[The showroom] is not just for balloons, the setup for a birthday or a party,” Pirela said. “I can make something for a custom gift, if you want to gift something for your friend, your wife, your girlfriend or someone else.”
Nine years ago, Pirela emigrated to the United States from Venezuela. She settled in Wellington and fell in love with the calm, quiet community.
“I loved the area when I first moved here,” Pirela recalled, adding that Wellington was the first place she lived upon arriving in the U.S.
Before opening her showroom, the mother of three got into party planning through her sister, who had a similar party store in Venezuela. However, she did not pursue it as a business venture until the birth of her second child.
That is when Pirela started party planning by making setups and designer balloon decorations for her children and friends. Word of mouth eventually led to her starting a business in her garage to help plan other people’s parties. At the time, she wanted to spend more time with her son. It gave her the opportunity to make money but also stay home with her children.
As her business grew, Pirela went on to receive a balloon designer diploma from the Decolovers Institute in Miami. After successfully improving her skills and officially becoming a professional balloon designer, she set a goal to open the physical store location by the end of 2024. At the time, she did not know how, but she wanted to make her dream happen.
Pirela went on to create budgets and buy everything she needed before moving to her new space. In July 2024, she saw a lease sign at the Wellington Marketplace. A few months later, she officially opened the doors to the Say Cheese Showroom and is now approaching her first anniversary since opening.
“In this one year, I’m doing great,” Pirela said. “My vision is now reality.”
Along the way, she has gotten to know a wide array of clients. Pirela finds that the best part of her job is to make their visions of the perfect party into reality while also adding a small element of surprise. She can use her creative skills and expertise to create something unique to make any event memorable. When preparing, she works to add elements or features that make her designs come to life.
“Normally, I put the factor of surprise,” Pirela said. “I want to put a small surprise for my client. That is the best part, when they say it’s better than the [original proposal].”
Pirela is always looking to expand, reach more people and improve her offerings. Her official Instagram business account has more than 2,000 followers, and she posts every day, showcasing innovative party décor.
Pirela also started partnering with other companies to provide popcorn, cotton candy and snow cone machines for kids’ parties. She is even helping with small weddings by making tailored balloon setups, table decorations and welcome signs for events. In the future, she is hoping to get into large-scale wedding planning. “Now, I’m starting something for small weddings,” Pirela said. “I haven’t done a big wedding, but hopefully one day I can.”
Through her company, Pirela emphasizes that she is there to help anyone planning a party. By creating personalized event decorations and custom gifts, Just Say Cheese 3 brings creativity and experience to make celebrations unforgettable.
