September 15, 2025Great Time!
The event was a two year old birthday party! There were approximately ten 2&3 year old boys and girls. And older children also 4-8 year olds. They weren’t interested AT ALL in the games he tried to play…so we switched to balloons!! The balloons were a hit! The entertainer(I’m sorry I didn’t get his name, because when he called with his ETA he identified himself as Spider-Man) Welp…after the balloons he pretended to leave and then he reappeared as Spider-Man! The two year old birthday boy was initially terrified but after about 10 minutes of watching he became more comfortable. Spider-Man was GREAT at calming his fear!! I appreciate his patience, compassion, and understanding!! He was determined to build the trust of my two year old grandson! Bravo!!

Hi Lisa,
Thank you so much for your wonderful and honest review. How refreshing! Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts! We strive to provide the best entertainment possible and I'm glad it showed. But most importantly, I'm happy that your grandson overcame his fear of Spidey and had fun at his party!
Thank you once again!

July 1, 2025I would definitely use them again!
We had Jedi Dave and Darth Vader come to my son’s 7th birthday party, and they were fantastic! Jedi Dave was especially great—he kept 12 very energetic boys entertained for the full hour. My son can be a little shy, and Jedi Dave did a wonderful job involving him in the fun without making him feel uncomfortable or putting him on the spot.
I had originally booked with another company that canceled on me just four days before the party, and this company really came through at the last minute. I’m so grateful they were able to step in and make the day special. I would definitely use them again!

Maggie thank you so much for this review! We're so happy that everything worked out great and that your son truly enjoyed his birthday party! This memory will last a lifetime, and that's all that matters! Thank you, thank you, and we hope to see you again soon!

January 7, 2025David was amazing!
We hired Make Believe Professionals for our son's 5th birthday party. We did the balloon twisting/costumed character (Super Mario). David arrived on time and even called to give his ETA. There were a lot of kids and David entertained them so well! They had an absolute blast with him. Along with balloon twisting, he improvised with the amount of kids and did magic, danced, did a conga line/limbo. The kids were so happy and entertained. I would HIGHLY recommend David for any kids event, he is AWESOME! When he came out as Mario, my son's face lit up like never before! Mario danced with the kids, picked them up and twirled them (which they LOVED), and even had the Mario voice down! We were so pleased with our booking and will definitely recommend MBP to our friends and family.

The entertainer was fantastic. She was on time and very sweet with the kids. All the kids loved the balloons and Winnie the Bear costume. I would hire them again for future parties
