I did a 15 minute session to surprise my children that they we’re going to Disney World. Jamie was FANTASTIC! He knew all of the Mickey motions to a tee and was upbeat and energetic the entire time, despite the fact that it was very very hot!!! I would use him over and over again!

This is not based on their delivery service but on their request service. I put in a quote on different platforms as any customer would to see who would work for them for their price range with the services we are looking for. This company starts a conversation with me and leads me on to almost making a booking with them. We are so excited that I ask for the next thing to do to make the booking and I got a response from his partner that he's no longer available. Sent a message to find out what happened and why I was led on, and his rationale is that I put out a quote on another platform after I tried to book with him which absolutely wasn't true. I checked the dates and confirmed that Jumping Jamie was the last artist I spoke to and ready to sign with. So sad because I was ready to book them for our kids birthday only to be disappointed.
Now they probably do good work, but this miscommunication between he and his partner and absolutely no remorse on his part for the constant back and forth is what this review is for. Not professional and absolutely not acceptable.

Response from Jumpin' Jamie:
A booking is not confirmed until we receive a deposit. This person was given an opportunity to book through Gig Salad or contact us directly. They chose to contact us directly, only they waited two days. In the meantime, we run a business and will book the clients who are serious first. While they waited those two days they seemed to be still shopping for another vendor as we received a request the day before on another platform. After telling them we are no longer available, they wanted to argue that we were already confirmed.
Jamie was amazing and kept our employees' children entertained for 45 minutes. They were between the ages of 2 - 12, and I received so many thank you notes from the parents. I highly recommend Jamie for children's entertainment. Thanks again, Jamie.

Jamie arrived promptly and had everything ready to go for our stated time. He honored all of my custom requests for the program and was enthusiastically received by the audience of over 100 children and adults. He kept the audience captivated and engaged. The children loved the animal songs and the puppets and instruments. He was fabulous!

Response from Jumpin' Jamie:
I am happy to hear the kids enjoyed it. Thanks Tammy!
We hired Jumpin Jamie for our 1 year old's birthday party. We had 7-8 kids there ranging from 7month-5 years old, and Jamie did a great job entertaining them all. It was really nice to have live music at our baby's party especially since he LOVES music. He was also very easy to work with, arrived early, and was flexible around our schedule since some guests arrived late. Would definitely hire again!
Variety Show, Children’s Music
My family and guests were very impressed with Jumpin' Jamie and his band. The music was very lively and fun and everyone was so polite and sweet! The adults enjoyed it as much as the children! I particularly enjoyed when they invited the children (and adults) to come play the instruments and sing a song. We highly recommend them to anyone interesting in a having a children's party!

Jamie was just whom we were looking for: A skilled and enthusiastic musician for our family-style birthday party! He was very responsive to emails before the event, arrived well on time, and single handedly engaged children of different ages (3-12) and their parents with songs that made us dance and move! He plays and sings original songs and brought an array of puppets and musical instruments. Everyone greatly enjoyed his performance!

Jumpin' Jamie was a huge hit at our daughter's birthday party!! All the kids had a blast watching the puppet show and dancing to his music. He really made the party extra special. We would definitely recommend him!!

Jumpin' Jamie entertained my Toddlers age 18 months- 2yrs 10 months. The children danced , sang, and laughed a lot! Jumpin' Jamie was a hit!
Singing Guitarist
Jamie was awesome! Extremely professional, punctual and totally flexible. Most of all, the kids (and the adults!) all loved his original songs. Jamie was great at motivating everyone to get up, dance and sing. He made my son's birthday party very special. Thank you, Jamie!

We hired a DJ through Jumping Jamie and she was great. She played games with the kids and interacted with puppets.

We were disappointed - she was unable to engage the children
Children’s Music
Response from Jumpin' Jamie:
Sorry for your disappointment with the DJ that was sent. I will make sure to include warnings in the future that hiring a performer is not hiring a babysitter and that parents need to be present to watch and participate with their children.
I cannot say enough good things about Jumpin’ Jamie. For parents thinking twice about having music at your toddler’s party, DO IT! A list of reasons to hire Jamie:
• Communication leading up to the party was seamless.
• He was on time and very professional.
• His songs are really good, not silly nonsense.
• He gets ALL the kids involved. We had a participant with special needs and Jamie did an especially great job with him.
Honestly, I don’t troll the internet writing reviews, this guy was great, 10 Stars!
Face Painter, Children’s Music
Unanimous across all the kids and parents at the party - Jumpin' Jamie was awesome. He was professional, personable, and kept the kids engaged and dancing the entire set. I would hire him again and recommend for friends.
Singing Guitarist
Jumpin' Jamie came to our library and did a wonderful set on Thanksgiving! He led a large group of kids from under 2 to about 10 and kept them engaged with his upbeat songs, the way he got everyone to participate using their bodies, voices and some cool props he brought (instruments, parachutes, hats and scarves!). All the adults were up and singing along as well! Jumpin' Jamie keeps you on your toes and even as you drive home, you'll still be singing his awesome songs!
Singing Guitarist
Jumpin' Jamie was awesome! It was our sons and daughter's birthday party and he really did a great job! From setting up the performance date until the end of the gig he was extremely professional! I would highly recommend him for any gig!

The Friends of Linden Library hosted Jumpin' Jamie for the first time ever on June 29th. Before Jamie and Chris could even set up, the children waiting were screaming his name in the hallway! It was a solid hour of laughing, singing, dancing, and fun! We are looking forward to having Jumpin' Jamie at the library in the near future!
Children’s Party Entertainment
Jamie came to my daughter's birthday party. He did a great job engaging with the children. The solid showman even got the adults up dancing. Jamie puts on a great show enjoyed by all. I highly recommend him.

Jaime was so great. I would recommend him with zero reservations. We had over 25 kids at the party ranging from 6 months to 9 years old and he was able to entertain them all. He's versatile and is able to read the crowd. Thanks again!!
Singing Guitarist, Children’s Music
We had Jamie do a Solo Music event for our son's birthday. All the kids just loved him. He engaged the kids very well and entertained them all. Even the parents loved the singing and dancing.
It was one hyperactive birthday party!!!

If you are considering entertainment for your child's next party, Jumpin' Jamie is your guy! We had him at our son's Wild Kratts themed party and he went above and beyond to learn the theme song to the show!!! He also kept everything animal themed and relative to the show- which shows he took the time to make it extra special. He kept about 25 3 & 4 year old kids entertained- singing, dancing, and playing games for an hour! Can't say enough about Jumpin' Jamie!!! He is the BEST!!!

We have used Jumpin Jamie a few times and we absolutely love him!! The children are always entertained, singing and dancing along with him. We will not hesitate to use him again!
Holiday Entertainment, Singing Guitarist, Children’s Music
We had about 20 -25 kids at our Christmas party. Jumpin' Jamie was fantastic! He had all the kids engaged in singing, dancing and telling jokes on the microphone. He is very upbeat and the kids loved him. I am looking forward to booking him for another event in the near future. Great job and couldn't be happier!!!
