Hello! I am Antonio Sombrero and I aim to entertain at your special event by making all sorts of animals and objects out of balloons. I have nearly 13 years of experience at fairs, restaurants, schools, carnivals, churches, birthdays, and even wedding receptions. This fascinating and unique entertainment will put smiles of joy on all your guests, young and old alike! I can twist fast and simple, or as time allows more complex requests. But wait...there's more! I supply everything I need, I'm friendly, polite, punctual, and loaded with clean and corny jokes! So what are you waiting for? Book me now before someone else gets me first! Thanks and hope to see you soon.
Antonio Sombrero exceeded our expectations, serving over 400 kids with their families at our Egg Hunt event! He arrived early and brought all of his equipment.

We hosted an anniversary party at our work place. Antonio was cheerful, made the most amazing balloons and even the adults were asking for their own. I highly recommend him, very professional and talented! He went above and beyond, we will hire him again, thank you Antonio!
I would definitely use Mr. Sombrero in the future. He made my son's party extra special with his incredibly dragon balloon!
Professional and on-time! The kids had a blast & were very happy! Thank you so much for making their day.
He did an amazing job! Kids loved him we will have him again for more parties to come!
This was an awesome experience..
Punctual, kind, and patient with the kids AND adults! Thank you! You really were an awesome addition to our 2nd Birthday party!
I had Antonio go to different spaces of our child care center during our last day of the year. He entertained so well and easily! Usually my students are very shy and apprehensive around guests, but considering the different animals and flowers we were gifted, it was fantastic. I don't think my students parents could say enough good things about him. The penguins were definitely my favorite!
Antonio provided joy for all ages at a block party. Was there for 4 hours creating amazing, unique balloon creations of all requests. Very professional and personally interactive at the same time. Was a highlight of our event. Would highly recommend.
We hired Antonio Sombrero for my nephews first birthday party tonight, and can not say enough GREAT things about him. He truly was amazing. All the kids and adults loved getting balloons from him. If you are looking for a great balloon artist, he is your guy!!!
Antonio Sombrero showed up so timely! Had a smile on his face the whole time he worked and was so kind to the littles! It was a joy to have him at our summer camp carnival! We are eager to see him again!
Professional , did amazing balloons for the kiddos, absolutely would recommend!
Antonio was prompt, delivery was brought early, a very kind gentleman I would have the pleasure of working with again! I had a very particular request, I needed him to do some "fueling semi-trucks" in our company colors for a special company party. The three he brought were absolutely spot-on replicas and he even went the extra mile by printing out our company name and logo and putting these on the balloon sculptures. These balloon sculptures were by far the biggest conversation piece at the party and folks commented they were so unique and part of the party design they would have never thought to of had. We were very impressed with Antonio's talent and making our party even more special with his hard work and effort in detail. Thank you Antonio!!! I look forward to the opportunity to work with you again!
He was so nice and has amazing skills!!! He c really made our birthday parade special!!!
Antonio was a wonderful addition to our party! He arrived on time and got to work right away! He blended in with the mellow atmosphere of the party and made some wonderful baloon creations!
Tony was great! The kids loved him. There was always a line to get a balloon. Many kids came back a second time around for another.

Awesome!! Kids had a memorable time. Thanks Antonio
The kids had a great time
On time, did a great job.
Good experience
Antonio made elaborate and fancy balloons and he made multiple for each kid. He was also great with the kids--making them laugh and telling them stories. The kids (ranging from 3 to 6) lined up again and again. The parents were able to just sit around and chat because the kids were so excited to surround him for 2-3 hours. He was on time, professional, and easy going. Thank you, Antonio!

Antonio Sombrero was absolutely amazing! Our parent group hosted a spring carnival that 350 kids attended. Antonio was a fantastic addition to our event. His line never ceased throughout the night and he kept his energy and smile up the whole two hours!! I highly recommend him for any event, big or small.

Response from Antonio Sombrero:
Thank you Sam! It was a great crowd and proof that adults love balloons too. :)
Antonio Sombrero was the balloon twister for my church's annual harvest party. He did a great job! He is very skilled in various balloon creations! He was friendly and fun. Quite a hit with the kids and adults! We had over 60 people and he kept up with pace. We would hire him again.
Antonio made a wide range of balloon animals, figures and toys in good speed. His fee is very reasonable for the quality you get. The kids loved him. Highly recommended.
Antonio was wonderful, he made balloons for the kids non stop they were all amazed & happy. He war making them laugh. I elk use him again.
Antonio Sombrero came to our church Easter Celebration and was "hands-down" the hit of the event! Over 200 hundred kids waited paitiently for a balloon car, sword, parrot, dog, bunny, the list goes on. He was warm and personable with all the families and kids and his balloon creations were fantastic. He even offered to stay an extra 45 minutes so that all the kids who were waiting in line after the event ended could get a balloon!
He's already hired for next year!!! Thank you Antonio!
Antonio was a pleasure to work with. He was very prompt in his email replies and he had everything taken care of as per our requirements.

Please expect a line if you have a large group of people and plan accordingly.
I wear a Sombrero and Hawaiian vest to look festive and professional.
I normally stand in one location with my small folding table and gear.
I supply all of my own gear and equipment except for cover. If precipitation cover is required please request it in advance.
I can meander and mingle upon request, but usually a line will form as I make balloons.
I am always polite and respectful to all humans.
I tell funny, clean, quirky, and corny, jokes as I interact with guests.
I never tell bad jokes or use innuendo type humor.
I NEVER make "R" rated balloons, even upon request. You can always feel safe knowing that embarrassing or inappropriate balloons will not be made by me.
Antonio Sombrero brings 13 years of balloon twisting experience to every event. Born and raised in the great NW, Antonio started twisting balloons as a ministry and the passion to bring smiles to everyone he meets began. "It's almost magical when I turn a balloon into a cute animal and a person's face changes into smiles and amazement!" says Antonio. His wife of 27 years and their two daughters fully support the adventure balloons have brought to them. "I have no plans to ever stop bringing joy to everyone" Antonio adds " in fact I'm constantly pushing myself to even greater balloon heights."
Expect a line of people. I have a small, folding table that I set my gear on and soon a long line will form. Please allow room for this. I also must have cover in even the slightest of precipitation due to the fact that the balloons will become too slippery to work with, as well as artwork becomes impossible, as they get wet.
The quality of balloon creations varies by the time allotted and the number of guests requesting balloons. The more time I'm given, the better balloons I am allowed to make.
Thank you
