Dear Big Biz,
I wanted to take a moment to extend my deepest gratitude for your exceptional contribution to Bernice's 90th birthday celebration on June 2nd. Despite the last-minute bookings, your willingness to accommodate us and outstanding professionalism made all the difference.
Your dedication and passion for your craft were evident in every detail. The human statues were mesmerizing and added an element of elegance and intrigue to the event. It was clear that you take immense pride in what you do. Your efforts did not go unnoticed and played a significant role in making the event a resounding success.
Bernice and our guests were thoroughly impressed and delighted by the atmosphere you helped create. Your ability to rise to the occasion, even on short notice, speaks volumes about your commitment and expertise. Working with such talented and reliable vendors like you was truly a pleasure.
Thank you once again for going above and beyond to ensure that Bernice’s milestone birthday was a day to remember. Your hard work and dedication brought joy to everyone present, and we are incredibly grateful for your support.
We look forward to working with you again in the future and will not hesitate to recommend your services to others.
Warmest regards,
Gabrielle Evans.

Magnificent and Spectacular – A true team of entertainment professionals we can count on.
Big Biz Entertainment is certainly the top entertainment company around. They supported our grand event at the Army Navy Country Club with Stilt Walkers, Juggler, and Contortionist on a very stormy day. The moment guests walked into the country club, they were greeted by a Stilt Walker dressed in a Masquerade custom to impress, leading them onto a set of luxurious stairs. There, they were welcomed by a juggler with lighted balls onto a set of steps that led them to another majestically-dressed Stilt Walker and a contortionist of superb skills. Everyone walked into a joyful masquerade atmosphere created by Big Biz.
An event coordinator from Big Biz monitored the actor’s performances, displaying a professionally-controlled and glorious entertainment. During the main event, the contortionist did an amazing performance that included dance and contortionist moves that bedazzled the audience. Mr. Horne and Big Biz turned a stormy and rainy day into an evening of spectacular entertainment. They created an ambiance of magnificence and magic that translated to an opulence of joy.

July 9, 2025Terrible Customer Service and Experience
Michael is one of the rudest vendors I have ever worked with. I paid a $125 deposit for a stilt walker for my wedding on July 26, 2025, back on March 24. I asked him to confirm receipt of the deposit and inquired about costume options, but he ignored multiple phone calls, emails, and texts. My mother-in-law also left a voicemail months later with no response.
On June 9, my day-of coordinator called, and Michael finally answered since he didn't recognize the number. She calmly asked about the status of my event, and he was extremely rude and aggressive on the call.
When I originally booked, Michael (the owner) said he would personally be doing my event. Given the complete lack of communication, I politely requested a refund, even though the deposit was technically non-refundable. He rudely agreed on June 12, promising to return my $125 deposit. He then claimed he had already paid someone to walk my event (which was untrue, as he told me he would walk it himself) and lied to my coordinator, saying he was on vacation—months after ignoring me.
It has now been over a month, and I still have not received my refund, despite following up on June 17, June 18, and June 23. He has since removed me from social media, preventing me from leaving a review there.
Based on my experience, I do not recommend this vendor. The lack of professionalism, poor communication, dishonesty, and failure to honor his word are unacceptable.

I'm sorry to say that this client kept changing her mind on what she wanted, then wanted to only rent head pieces for her sister and friends to wear; which I did agree to do. I then was on vacation for a week, which was about a month before her event. During that time (Vac) I did not respond to her until I retuned to find out that she booked another performer. So the rudeness, lack of communication is totally false. And, The client did indeed receive her deposit back in a timely manor.
