Hi, I'm Sonny — the creative heart behind LUX POPPIN! I've always had a passion for bringing people together, and I truly believe there is always a reason to celebrate!
When I'm not answering inquiries and blowing up balloons, you'll find me traveling, searching for hidden Mickey’s at Disney World, bird watching, or spending time with my two kids, my husband and our dogs. My husband, Danny, works alongside me building and bringing our designs to life — and together, we've turned our passion into a family-run creative business rooted in joy, detail, and unforgettable experiences.

We had the best experience with Sonny and Danny at Lux Poppin! They were extremely professional, had so many great ideas, and were extremely easy to work with. We were blown away by their installation and the ease of everything! I would recommend them 100% without any hesitation and hope to be able to use them again for my younger son's bar mitzvah in a year.

Sonny and Lux Poppin did an incredible job creating a custom selfie station and balloon setup for my wife’s baby shower. From start to finish, their communication was excellent, making the entire process seamless. The setup was absolutely perfect—every attendee couldn’t stop raving about how amazing it looked.

We had an incredible experience with Sonny and the team at Lux Poppin! They did the balloons for my daughter’s first birthday party, themed “Wild One,” and it was beyond perfect! They brought our vision to life with the most beautiful balloon arrangements that matched the theme so well, from animal prints to jungle inspired greenery. They were punctual, professional, and so easy to work with. Highly recommended!

I recently hired Lux Poppin for my son's Mario Bros-themed party, and I couldn't be happier with the results! Sonny and her husband did an excellent job with the decorations. Not only were they skilled professionals, but their warm and friendly personalities added a personal touch to the entire experience. I highly recommend Lux Poppin for anyone looking to elevate their event. Five stars for their outstanding work and exceptional service!

I absolutely loved the customer service experience that I received from lux poppin LLC. I reached out for balloon arc backdrop and cake stand for my son's baptism party and they delivered a beautiful arrangement. That was the focal point of our party. We took so many beautiful photos. The design was spot on with our color scheme and theme and the design process with Sonny was a breeze.
"I would highly recommend their services and look forward to doing more events with them in the future"
- Kerri Tufano
They were creative, helpful and delivered as promised. They turned the room into a magical experience. The owner Sonny was very communicative and delivered everything as promised. I would definitely recommend them.
"Lux Poppin did a fantastic job for my daughter's bridal shower!"
