Response from Party Pro Entertainment:
Thank you Hailie. I thouroughly enjoyed myself at your festival. Although I like working and scheduling events back to back when I am busy. I also enjoy not having to go anywhere afterwards and spend an extra 10-30 minutes for free. Thats exactly what I did Saturday. I love working!
I was recieved well by EVERYBODY at your festival. I look forward to working with you again next year.
Wonderful job! We had an event with probably around 150 children and he was able to do exactly what we needed him to do! Additionally, he was on time and very professional. Thank you so much!!!

Thank you Heather for the review. I thouroughly enjoyed working with you and your event. You put on an excellent event.
We chose Steven because of his high energy and his obvious passion for working with kids. Steven was very professional and willing to accommodate our needs. I love how he emphasized and followed safety protocols. We will be gladly booking Steven again for our next event in April. You won’t be disappointed.

Had him over for a 9 year kid’s birthday party and he was just wonderful. Kids loved the balloons and there wasn’t an issue with time either. Class act!
Thank you

Thank you Keela. I had a great time and was treated well. You guys rock there in Heath!
The artist was punctual and friendly, but limited in balloon options. Some of the stories shared were not rated for children.

I had a great time and appreciated the generous tip. Im sorry you had a bad experience. I try my best to be pleasing. But I am not sure what stories you are talkng about as I am a very clean family entertainment.
Creative designs, efficient, and kept making balloons even when kids were not in line! I appreciate that work ethic

What to Expect
HEALTH CONCERNS
The Party Pro carries a ton of hand sanitizer and Clorox wipes in order to sanitize his work area. Because his balloons and tools are clean he does not allow anybody to touch them until he hands them the finished product.
STARTING AND ENDING TIME
The Party Pro will show up to your event and start on time. Normally starting 10 minutes early and staying 10 minutes late when possible. He is not a clock watcher. Please keep in mind that just as he is committing to a starting and ending time with you. He is doing the same with his next client. As a result once he ends his line he cannot do "One More" because he has a commitment to his next client too.
STATIONARY ENTERTAINMENT
The Party Pro is a stationary entertainment. 40 years ago he was a strolling entertainment but todays balloon twister just carries too much gear and supplies to stroll. He needs a 5x5 area to work because of the length of the balloons and his gear. Also a covered or shady area for rain and sun. He provides hos own chair as he has a specific chair that works well with his balloon rig and gear .
HE IS AN ENTERTAINER
The Party Pro is an entertainer that chooses to work with balloons. Even though he is a stationary entertainment he is not a bump on a log. The Party Pro talks to his guests while working. Asking and calling them by their name. He tells jokes and stories. Trivia and more. All to keep their attention.
PAYMENT OPTIONS
If you schedule through Gigsalad you will have to pay immediately. That is their policy. However that does not work for everyone. He does accept payment on the date of the event but it must be upon arrival. It is tough to chase down payment when you need to get to another event. It may be by cash, check or credit card. You can even pay an invoice by phone upon arrival.
TIP POLICY
This is a tough thing for an entertainer. So many entertainers expect a tip because they lowball their price up front. Beware of lowball pricing techniques.
I charge my full price but sometimes people are just generous and want to give. My policy is I tell them up front the balloons are free. Sometimes a guest wants to tip I remind them loud enough for others to hear that they are free. If they still pursue I quietly thank them and put it in a pocket where it is not seen. Many entertainers have tip jars to encourage tips. I don't.
EATING
He is not trying to snub you by not eating at your event. But because of the nature of the job most anytime he does a gig he will eat beforehand. It just does not work well to eat at the event other than small quick snacks and drinks. Especially water on a hot sunny day. He carries a cooler with ice bottles.
About
The Party Pro is a Master Balloon Twister with 44 years experience in children's entertainment. He is a speed twister that can inflate and twist 100 simple balloons per hour or 25-30 multi-balloon creations per hour involving between 3-10 balloons each. He got his start in entertainment at Disneyland in California.
He is an entertainer that chooses to entertain with balloons. He tells appropriate stories and jokes while he is working and is a squeeky clean family entertainment. No blue material here.
The Party Pro is a professional that charges full price for his services and does not pursue or initiate a tip for his service. No tip jars here. However because tipping is so widely sought after by most entertainers people do very often
offer tips. He will kindly refuse loud enough for others to hear so they do know the balloons are free.
CORPORATE ENTERTAINMENT
Including picnics, holiday events, retail entertainment and the ever so popular office party.
EXPOSITIONS
Fairs, festivals, trade shows,
EDUCATIONAL
schools, daycares. Special Olympics and more.

Additional Booking Notes
He is the only entertainer he knows of that still accepts full payment on the day of the event. Cash check or credit card. He also provides an invoice upon scheduling him that can be paid securely online if you wish to. But again, he accepts payment on the day of the event. Once the event is over by the end of the day, depending on how busy he is that day, he will issue a digital receipt by email or text.

Setup Requirements
SETUP and teardown takes 15 minutes on each end. The Party Pro brings his own chair but a small table with a 5x5 work area is nice. Shaded or covered area if outside.
