Meet Our Management Team
Ray Smith, Owner
Ray worked in the balloon industry back in the early 1980’s in the suburbs of Chicago, where he was born and raised. After moving to Sacramento in 1989, he worked for non-profit professional associations in the health-care, then banking industries as an event and conference planner/manager. He eventually became an Interim President & CEO leading the organization until a permanent CEO was appointed. In 2018, Ray decided it was time to “do something new” and bought Sacramento Balloon Co. His passion is helping customers turn their balloon visions into reality.
Julian Jauregui, Co-Owner
Julian has always had a passion for creativity, connecting with people, and bringing ideas to life. In 2022, he founded Good Juju Balloons as a side business, turning his love for decorating into an opportunity to help others celebrate life’s special moments.
After four years of growing his small business alongside his professional career, Julian became a Co-Owner of Sacramento Balloon Co. in October 2026. He is excited to continue sharing his creativity, building relationships, and helping customers turn their celebrations into lasting memories.
