Nancy was so great with the kids and very professional. The face paint looked incredible and she was so patient. My daughter and her friends loved her! She also stayed and did glitter temporary tattoos after all the kids face a were painted. Very satisfied with the experience. Would highly recommend.
Jodi was great with all of my cousins, nieces, and nephews! I've never seen them so well behaved. There must have been at least 40 kids, and Jodi kept her cool as they swarmed all around her and every kid was able to get their face or hand painted, plus a balloon. The designs are just as pictured in their profile.
Princess Elsa was great! She interacted a lot with the kids by having conversations with them, singing songs and playing games. Kids enjoyed it. She did a good job.
Melinda was the absolute best. Kids and parents were equally amazed at her artistry. My pictures don’t do her work justice. She also has a lovely manner with even the shyest child. Perfect experience in every way. We will definitely work with her again. Thank you!
Nancy did a great job at my daughters 3rd Birthday party. It was my first time hiring anyone for a birthday party and she did not disappoint. Super talented, friendly and great with the kids! The kids were so excited to get their face painted and she really did a great job! Thank you!
Our guests had a fantastic experience with Melinda's face painting. We absolutely loved her, she's so talented!
Melinda was patient and she is a great artist. Every single face painting was perfection . Will definitely recommend to anyone.
Adana was the best!! I highly recommended her! She was very patient with a bunch of 4-6 year olds and her designs were excellent. Thanks for accomodating me last minute!! Booking was seamless!
We really enjoyed Princess Elsa who came and hosted my daughter's 4th birthday party.
She was very professional and the kids loved her. Melissa's Children's Party was also very attentive
in responding to emails and questions. I certainly recommend them for your child's next birthday.
Our face painter, Jody, was wonderful. Our caterer cancelled an hour before our event and Jody came early to help entertain the 15 children while we figured out a plan for food. The details of the face painting were beautiful and included freehand, stencils, and crystals. For the younger children, adorable and detailed hand painting was also provided. Jody was kind and patient with the kids and also very neat. We would highly recommend her for your upcoming event.
Yelena was awesome! Showed up a bit early to get set up, and was ready to go at appointment time. Face painting was super impressive, really detailed, and ***all*** the kids loved it. Balloon twisting was a fun touch. Soooo happy with her!!! 😍❤️ (BTW, the pic is from like 5 hours after she did it!)
Thanks Melinda. Event went well and would like to thank you again for that
We could not be happier with Melinda's Children's Parties. Emma came to our event on time and was very professional. She was even able to do a bit of face painting on my squirmy little 1 year old which was a bit tricky. The children seemed to enjoy her intricate balloon art as well. I highly recommend Melinda's Children's Parties!
My 8 yrs old and her friends had a great time. Great work.
Everyone at the party were impressed and so happy with the amazing face painting and fun balloon twisting!
Would definitely hire again!
The face painter was fantastic with the kids! She did a great job with the paint and the tattoos. Would recommend and hire again! Thank you for a wonderful event!
Arrived on time. The kids had a great time. Melinda did a fabulous job on the face painting.
Melinda was responsive and communicative throughout this whole process.
I could not have been more pleased with the seamlessness of how the entertainment unfolded (particularly on such short notice).
Jodi, our gace painter and caricaturist was nothing short of amazing!
We hosted about 30 adults and kids for my son's four year old birthday party. Melinda did an extraordinary job planning unique and innovative content complete with a Superhero (in our case Superman) and the kids had a blast meeting Superman, participating in a superhero boot camp and dancing away. It was also fun for the adults as well! Very professional all around and easy to work with!
She was very patient and very creative
Melinda was great! She arrived early and set up quickly, the children loved her and she was so professional and friendly! I would 100% book her again for another event!
Response from Melinda's Children's Parties:
Thank you Melonie! It was a total pleasure! Hope to see you again soon!
Melinda was a great addition to my twins 3rd birthday party! She arrived on time and was a hit with all of the kids! She even stayed past her end time to finish up a few balloons for the kids who accidentally popped them. Highly recommend her!
Melinda and her team were responsive, engaged, pleasant and professional at our event. I would recommend her services without reservation.
