We got SCAMMED!!!

Booked Elizabeth Holthwick for face painting and balloon twisting for my son's 1st birthday. Did put down payment but didn't show up. Called her to ask where she's at, she hung up and didn't pick up my calls again. She ruined my son's 1st birthday party! Kids were waiting and excited but we had to tell them the bad news that there will be no more facepainting and balloon twisting.

1.5 hours late

Said she would be 30 mins late was 1.5 hours late. Henna is light orange and doesn’t even look like henna. Such a disappointment. Left without letting us know. Would never book again.

Response from Amusement Artists:

It is orange at first and turns brown within 24 hours as it sets into the skin, I was in communication on change in time frame and drove almost an hour to get to you, surprised at this because everyone got custom designs and I did explain that the henna will darken to the guests.

Great attitude and service

Laura was punctual and very nice she had the best attitude and the kids were happy with tha face painting and the ballons.
The only thing I got surprised was that she recuestes a table and 2 chairs... by luck I live a couple blocks from a the eve te and were able to bring it for her, but I think they should tell in advance at least what you need. And also I think that they are foldable chairs and tables that you can easily transport instead of giving the parents more work that they already have with the party.

Awful!!

Awful. The lady was so unpleasant everyone from the party mentioned how absolutely rude she was. The face painting job was good but it was really disappointing. She came up already irritated and did not seem interested at all in being there. We paid a lot of money and I wish I could get my money back She definitely don’t get a tip.

Letter Brush Art

We hired Elizabeth to do letter brush art for my daughter's birthday. She was a hit!
Everyone loved that they had a beautiful party favor to take home. Elizabeth was awesome! So was able to do so many names in such a short amount of time. She was so kind to squeeze in a couple more names for some of my late guests. I would definitely hire her again!

Great Job!!

I needed entertainment for our party and Amusement Artists did a great job! Our guests had their faces painted and we got henna tattoos, as well as Caricature drawings. They really made the party fun for everyone. Will hire them again!

Not satisfied... Maybe not her forte...

I was so excited to start. Elizabeth kept in contact with Upton the event... She even asked to come early. We were to get air brushed temporary tattoos for the kids that would last 3-4days... the tattoos smeared and came right off the children, not all the children received tattoos. I contracted for airbrushed t shirts , 30 count , I received 22 purple girl looking messes. This was a little boys party and the guest were mainly boys who cried when we tried to give them their tshirts. She still expected to be paid even after she did not complete her task
I was so sad and disappointed. To top it off she left a blue ink stain on the concrete that had to be bleached up!
Be careful what you ask for,because this was not it...😮

Highly Recommend!

We hired Amusement Artists for our festival of 10k + people and they were great to work with! Elizabeth was so helpful and gave us a discount since we were needing to hire multiple artists. We will definitely be reaching out to them again next time we're in the area!

Puppet Maker

Very disappointing. We had to use a lot of our own materials, and I had to run out to the store to purchase more socks. The materials that were provided were things we all have at school. I will never book this event again. I had to give a rating, but really don't want to allow any stars at all for this.

Response from Amusement Artists:

You had said socks would be donated by the parents and so I thought you would have extra for all the classes. If you were disappointed you could have told me in person rather then even writting a bad review. The kids really liked it!

Great Artist

She was accommodating of our changing schedule and showed up with everything she needed. The signs drew the kids over and everyone had a great time getting their face painted. I would definitely book her again.

Disappointed

First, I asked to bring Ariel and Elsa got here...second,n completely disorganized asking me what to do..... she could not control the kids, not entertained enough for the kids to stay and do activities..
No story read, no singing or anything....
Honestly completely disappointed...

Hired as:
Princess Party
Amusement Artists

Response from Amusement Artists:

Wanted to say that sorry you were not happy but I had offered many princess options and Elsa was what we decided on. The entertainer I sent works as an actor in San Diego, not sure what your specific expectations were but if she asked you should have told her what you wanted specifically. We offer a range of options as I had expressed- Face paint- glitter tattoos or balloons and she brings all of her tools with her.
