We are detail oriented, and we take great pride on the awesome art we do with our face painting, and amazing balloon twisting.
Good communication, reasonable pricing, and the kids were thrilled! Can't ask for much more than that!
Ione seemed very nice and put up with our overheated venue but I was disappointed by several things given that we paid her more than any other DJ we've ever used. After cancelling a tour of the venue once and then just plain not showing up on another appointment, I was having some doubts but knew how tough it is to get a DJ on May weekends. I tried to communicate our expectations clearly and even had someone provide a playlist. There seems to be disagreement about whether that actually happened. But then, on the day of the event, she arrived without karaoke sign up sheets, never greeted the group, introduced herself or gave any instructions. She did not lead any games as we had discussed and then played all the line dances in a row which was exhausting for our crowd of adults with disabilities. There just didn't seem to be any organization at all to her approach and it made the event less enjoyable and more stressful for us, the organizers. Sorry to be so negative but we can't learn without honest feedback.
Response from Ione Entertainment:
I never cancel the event, Melissa probably talking about other DJs. Melissa's friend didn't give me a playlist, but told me play oldies and Macarena, it doesn't seems to me "clear playlist expectations". I have over 15 years DJ experience and I have very good oldies songs list. I didn't announced karaoke start as I usually do, because Melissa grabbed the microphone and announced starting the event. People are usually prefer the small notepads instead of karaoke sign sheets, especially people with disabilities. The notepads and pens were distributed so it was easier for people to write the song name, than get up and add the song to the list. We didn't get to the games point because Melissa ended up event earlier due to the broken air-conditioner. The line dances were going one after another because people were enjoying dancing and even couple of people came to thank me for having much fun. For conclusion, I do not think its fair for me to get such a review since price I gave was a discounted price, which is much lower the normal price for karaoke/DJ event. The organizer changed plan multiple times and didn't give clear instruction. In spite of it was stressful for Melissa as an organizer, people were happy, have a lot fun and I got a lot of compliments during the event.
Ione did amazing face painting and balloon twisting for my daughter's 4th birthday. The face painting she did were vibrant in color and more intricate than what kids are normally used to. She came in early so we were able to set-up before the kids arrived. She was very patient with the kids demands for face painting and balloon twisting (in the hot humid weather too). Before she left she made additional twisted balloons for the kids.
She was absolutely great. Arrived right on time, brought her own setup and was amazing with the kids. Her face painting and balloon animals is what made the party entertaining. I will definitely be booking again.
Response from Ione Entertainment:
Hi Leslie, thank you so much for this amazing review; I had lots of fun with your guests and hops to see you all again soon :)
Andresa showed up on time and was so nice! The kids loved her. She did face painting and balloon twisting for us! She was personable and great with the kids! Thank you so much!
Response from Ione Entertainment:
Ela thank you so much for this awesome review, and thank you so much for trusting ione entertainment to entertain your guests :) We had lots of fun with your guests :):) Thank you again and hope to be part of your next event :):)
Pros: excellent, fast designs; plenty of balloon swords/animals/flowers for all guests
Cons: not as much pre-event communication as I would have preferred; received a complaint from another parent that the black face paint did not wash off
She arrived early, had everything set up quickly. And, she was kind, patient, and gracious with the kids. Plus, the face painting was awesome!
She was fabulous!! Amazing artist! Fast, professional & friendly. Children and adults were excited to have her create something for them. Highly recommend.
Great day. She kept the line moving and every kid left looking great. Thanks!
Lone was a perfect to keep the kids entertained with face painting and balloon making for my baby shower this weekend! Most of the kids at my event requested for balloons and she was able to customize any balloon they requested. She was a huge help and will definitely hire again!! Thank you Lone!
Ione arrived on time, painted faces and twisted balloons for an hour, and was the hit of the party. My only quibble was that she was somewhat hard to get ahold of prior to the event, which worried me at the time, but I shouldn't have been worried, she was great and the kids loved their painted faces!
Ione was very professional...on time; easy to work with; the kids loved her and there were lots!
We would be happy to have Ione back again
Ione was great! Kids really enjoyed their faces being painted and she is extremely talented. I would definitely book her again!
Ione was wonderful, excellent communication with her before the event. She showed up promptly and was ready to go when the party started. The face painting she did was beautiful and she took the time to customize for what children wanted. The balloon twisting was also excellent. I would absolutely use her again.
Ione came to my daughter's party in a big snow storm. She is very dependable and very good at face painting. The guests had a lot of fun getting their faces painted. Would definitely hire again!
