We hired this group for my daughter’s 2nd birthday party and they were the highlight of the event! Super professional ladies arrived on time set up, broke down, and were great at communication throughout booking and the date of the party. Would highly recommend them! The animals were super cute, gentle, and well behaved. We will def be using them again!
