Peoples Choice

Great communication before song, friendly personality, but what got me is I nonchalantly said a couple things about my friend, and she added every one of them in the song, which made it perfect!

Maria as Pinky the clown made my 73 year old mother's birthday one to remember! The personalized song with a written version for my mom to keep literally had her in tears. You can tell Maria has a good heart and truly enjoys making people smile.

We had scooter the clown at our daughter‘s first birthday event, which was a last minute ordeal and we were able to get someone from Gigsalad. he was wonderful with the kids But I did want someone to face paint and do baloon shapes but idk what happened? maybe a miss in communication. He did do magic and a puppet show with them and put tattoos on them. He was again awesome.

Great communicator, great face painter, enjoyed working with People's Choice. I would highly recommend them for your parties.

Services were as described.

We hired Santa Bill for our company Children's Christmas Party and he was the best! Looked the part, acted the part and came with all the props needed. We would definitely recommend for your next holiday party.

The face painting was really creative and colorful. Best of all, she was really great with the children. We have wonderful pictures and memories from our celebration. Thanks!

I found Sandy to be really great with the children.

She is awesome. And I appreciate her help when my DJ canceled on me. She played music for kids and everyone loving it.

She was awesome

I surprised my husband at work with this singing telegram and it was so great! Maria dressed in a gorilla wearing a tutu and sang a personalized song. All his coworkers thought it was hilarious and it couldn’t have gone any better. Maria was great to work with and communicated good throughout the day. I highly recommend!

The lady was very nice and fun! But the Minnie Mouse costume was nothing like advertised besides the colors. The picture advertised looked like a Minnie Mouse straight from Disney (The pink one posted on their page). I posted a picture of what was advertised and what we got for reference. My daughter didn’t seem to notice and still had a blast. I still give a 4 star because the lady who played her and did the balloon animals was wonderful and the kids loved her regardless of what the costume looked like.

Maria was great! She arrived on time, was extremely personable and very patient as our birthday girl has autism. She took her time made my daughter comfortable enough to get a little paint. The adults enjoyed her too quite a few of us had our faces painted. I would definitely book her again and certainly recommend her.

The Easter Bunny was very friendly.

I booked a singing Nun for my best friends 50th birthday. The communication between us prior was outstanding. She arrived on time and lit up the room (in a swanky restaurant) with her full on Nun approach, ruler in hand spouting out facts about my friend. It was priceless and to be remembered for ever!!!

Hired a Bonnie and she was on time very good with children did everything we asked looked very cute. My only issue was maybe a little skinny for a bunny but that wasn’t really her fault.

Just like last year great Bunny.

Our bunny was very vibrant. Brought music, was dancing, was so nice to the kids and adults. It was the perfect edition to the party

She was great! Very flexible due to the snow storm we had as our singing telegram was at our friends office. Everyone loved her performance and she got the whole office involved. Our friend was absolutely surprised and can’t stop talking about it. Highly recommend her and if your looking for a great birthday present a singing telegram is the way to go!

What a great show! Everyone loved our singing chicken and the personalized song just made it even more special!

Very professional service❤️

We used a face painter and balloon twister from People's Choice and they were amazing!! Highly recommend!

Ms. Joyce did a great job at our kids' birthday party! We had a joint party for a 7 and 4 year old, so we had guests in different age groups and a Balloon Twister was the perfect option for our party. She was friendly and accommodating with our location change. We highly recommend her!

The kids loved it! She was very talented!

This is the second year we have used the Peoples Choice for our Family Fun Day Event and they are amazing! We have a face painter and balloon artist for the kids and I have to say they are true professionals. They truly bring the fun to our Family Fun Day!

Me and my team had a great experience with Peoples Choice! We had Joyce as our face painter, and she did incredible work - true mosaic art pieces, and we had Sandi as our balloon twister - fun for EVERYONE!! These two ladies have such joy for their work that is radiates off them and into the kids they interact with :) Overall great time!

Character was on time and did a great job with the kids

Absolutely amazing , great costume and energy definitely exceeded our expectations!

My wife loves Disney and I was out of town on a business trip for her birthday. A great way to connect with my family even though I was over a thousand of miles away. The performer sang and integrated my 4 young children at my request. Price was fair and they were very accommodating. I would definitely us the service again.

Terese was absolutely great! The birthday girl loved it! Thank you!

The kids loved it.

Everyone in the group got involved and had a great time.

Amazing job - would book again.

Maria did an excellent job performance! Thank you again!

My wife was surprised and the performer got her co-workers involved too! Recommend this company for any future singing telegrams!

Maria was very professional and reliable! Great communication skills and very accomodating. We hired her for the gorilla in a tutu singing telegram for my husbands birthday. She was on time, energetic, and even sang a personalized song for him! Great price, Great service. Thanks Maria! Would hire again. :)

This was a singing telegram delivered to my mom on her birthday. She was very flexible about scheduling even with short notice. She did a great job and I really appreciated that she personalized the song for my mom. Would highly recommend! Thank you so much.

I cannot say enough about the Santa that showed up to our Christmas Eve event. He was engaging with both the children and adults. The children really believed him to be the "real" Santa. I would highly recommend hiring for all your "Santa" needs.

Santa delivered the goods! He was great with the kids and we had a bunch of them. He was great with adults, too, posing for pictures, etc. I would totally book this again.

Great experience for the kids to be surprised by Santa stopping by our party on his busiest day of the year.

On time and was amazing!!!!!!!! Exceeded expectations!!

Santa was great! The kids loved him!

Santa arrived early, looked good in the pictures, walked around talking to children

What a great Santa! I will definitely be back next year for him to join our holiday event! He was so kind and so patient with all of the children and families as they took pictures. He also took the time to ask each and every one of them about their Christmas wishes. Thank you!

Santa was awesome for my holiday mini photoshoot event! He did all I asked of him, great with the kids & families & looked amazing! Thank you for helping create the magic!! ✨🎅🏼🎄❤️

Very nice lady she is on time. We requested a zombie face painter & balloon twister. She looked like a killer clown maybe. All the kids looked like cats. No matter what they asked for. One kid wanted an eagle and idk what she made. Picture included. The only balloon animal she could do was a dog or a sword. For the amount I paid she should’ve been able to do a lot more. Again very nice lady just not worth what we paid for.

Such a wide variety of balloon options and the kids LOVED it!

I am always hesitant to leave a poor review because I know how they impact a small business, as I am a small business owner myself, but I also want to honestly let others know about my experience with Peoples Choice.
I was in touch with Maria via the GigSalad website leading up to the event. She was communicative and prior to booking sent example pictures of balloon animals that were definitely in the realm of what I was looking for.
Fast forward to the day of the event: The person sent by Peoples Choice was subcontracted by them. This was not something that was communicated to me prior to the event. The skills of this balloon artist were FAR BELOW what we were lead to believe we were getting from Peoples Choice. She also used a sharpie on every balloon design to "draw" (much more like scribble) the features of whatever she made. The designs were so bad, we couldn't correctly guess what she was making each child. Luckily, my customers have a sense of humor and at least the littlest kids seemed happy with their designs. It was not, however, up to par with what I offer as a business myself.

Now, I admittedly made two mistakes before the event. I feel like I should mention them here in full disclosure. Ultimately, these things have nothing to do with the fact that the balloon artist sent by Peoples Choice was not skillful enough to perform at parties or events.
1. I let my computer's autofill feature fill in my address and it put the right street address and business name, but the wrong town (one town over). So the day of, the woman doing balloon animals was lost and that was on me. She called and I was able to lead her back to my business. I accept responsibility for that.
2. Both Joyce (subcontracted artist) and Maria (Peoples Choice) tried to get ahold of me prior to the vent via phone. Joyce had a list of things she needed prior to the event and wanted to make sure I had them (table and chair-so FYI if you get Joyce for your event, she will behind a table, not standing and interacting with kids). Maria wanted to let me know Joyce was trying to get ahold of me. I didn't realize they were trying to get ahold of me because I don't answer numbers I don't know on my cell. However, Maria has been simultaneously communicating with me through Gig Salad with no mention of anything she called about-so I felt like all the info I needed to know or offer up was happening via the website. Maria never reached out to me on Gig Salad about the event being subcontracted, or what the subcontracted artist needed.

Overall, it was a disappointing experience, and in this case, you truly get what you pay for.

Super talented artist, great with kids, had something to for everyone and all the kids were thrilled!!

The reader arrived on time and was very energetic, kind, and easy going. I’d absolutely recommend her going forward.

We chose the shark costume to surprise my sister when she got her Master's Degree. They made a personalized song for her and sang "For She's a Jolly Good Fellow ". Everything went really well, I was nervous as I've never hired a singing telegram before but I'm so glad I did it. I'll definitely do it again in the future.

Great balloon twister for our Grand Opening.

I really don’t like writing this post because the person that came out was a generally nice person. That being said, he was not a decent looking clown. I hate to criticize but the clown outfit was so old it was almost see through, faded and not clean. The clown shoes were also very old, torn and just tacky, I feel like we wasted our money and we were the ones who looked like clowns to our friends and neighbors . I will never go through GigSalad again!

What an amazing job by both ladies! They both had big lines and it was a hot day but they kept smiling and having fun with all the kids! Everyone walked away happy and chatting about all the fun they had. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Bob, did a great job!
Funny and all enjoyed!

Jodi was awesome. My kids had a blast. She was a delight and professional.

Peoples Choice face painting was a great choice for our EMS Week Event in Lansdale Pa. The kids loved getting there face painted and all the designed look great! Certainly looking forward to using her services in the future

It was professional service

Crystal was amazing !! Everyone was so pleased with their face paint or glitter tattoo, she’s so talented and did such a great job!! Will hire her again.

Maria was great with the kids! Birthday boy was very pleased!

Even though Maria was sick she sent a fantastic replacement.

Sandy was excellent for our sons 3rd bday party as Chase from Paw Patrol. She was timely and the kids loved it!

Everything was amazing and the kids loved it 10/10!!

I was very happy with the service. It was personalized by singing our wedding song, having an additional song, balloons, and a candle. Follow ups were done throughout and including the day.

She was awesome! The kids loved her.

Thank you SO much for sending Santa Bill to our event. He was amazing!!!!!! We want to book him every year!! Such a kind and friendly Santa!!

Santa was great and the kids loved
Him!!

Mr and Mrs Claus arrived early and we’re energetic and upbeat the entire time. They were absolutely perfect and were the highlight of the evening!! Thank you so much!!

The real Santa came out to our clubhouse and was as amazing as I expected! Could not recommend a better Santa and will be rebooking again next year!

What an authentic Santa & kind man!!! We loved him! Fabulous job & wonderful with kids & their families!
Ho Ho Ho!!! Nicole Roman & RE/MAX Achievers in Collegeville PA

What a wonderful experience to have Santa come visit your house. Santa was amazing. He called from his sleigh and said he was on his way to give us a heads up to get ready for his visit. He was a surprise to all of my guests but to be honest it was the best surprise for me. I felt like a little kid again and it was so worth every cent.

Our real-beard Santa was a huge hit and a nice touch to our Christmas party. He was was great with the kids and had great suggestions for pictures. Highly recommend!

I had to find a replacement Santa at the last minute because of change in dates of my event. Peoples Choice was able to assist me in finding Santa. I had an overall great experience in the whole process.
Santa arrived as scheduled and everyone loved him even my grand-daughter who is not a fan of Santa. She did not sit on his lap but she did stand right next to him. He was a hit with the grandkids and my adult children!! We would have him back in a heart beat!! Thanks so much for helping out at the last minute.

Best Santa, the kids loved him!!!

Santa was awesome. Everyone enjoyed him from parents to kids

Santa showed up on time and was wonderful with the kids! He was so warm and welcoming - even with the fearful lids! Everyone at our photo shoot wants to know if he can come back next year!

Greg was our balloon twister and he was awesome. Showed up on time and got straight to work. The kids were high energy as most were middle school with a mix of high school here and there. He was patient and interacted great with them.

His balloon creations were top notch and ranged from unicorns, ballerinas and helicopters to superheroes, swords, rainbows and hearts. He even improvised on a funny unique balloon twist request at the end. I would highly recommend this service to those looking for any balloon twisters.

We had a great experience with People’s Choice! She was wonderful with the kids and it was a huge help to keep the little ones occupied!

Joyce came dressed and ready to make people look silly. Thanks!

Very enjoyable experience loved Minnie and the children well kept fully entertained would recommend to anyone thinking of having character for their event

Maria did awesome face paintings on many children & balloon twisting! Everyone was super happy!! Definitely recommend!

The person that provided the service was absolutely amazing. He was very personable and friendly. He helped out and the kids loved him. He did Mickey Mouse and the kids definitely appreciated him. He sang and danced and high fived the kids. He sang happy birthday and had his own music. Absolutely amazing and would definitely hire him again. A+++

Wow!! Such a great time! Definitely got all the kids dancing & interacting. Such an awesome time! Even my one year old birthday girl had the time of her life! Thank you so so much!

So I hired a clown for my event and she didn’t really look like a clown. Her face painting skills were terrible and embarrassing- everything was just lines painted on the kids faces. Balloon twisting skills weren’t great. We didn’t have many kids so she wasn’t very busy but for whatever reason told my one friend her son would have to wait for a balloon animal which he never ended up getting. She was really nice so I feel terrible for writing this review but it was the worst experience ever. I was so embarrassed and will obviously not be using this company again.

Fantastic everyone was so happy & ashley said it made her day

Thank you so much
Marge liggio
Ps until the next event we will do this again

Peoples Choice was great! They were on time and provided my family with an awesome song that she created using personalized facts. I would definitely recommend them for your next event!

He was in time, very interactive with the guest and did great art work... Thank you

"baby shark" made our party fun and memorable. Very nice job.

My mom had a wonderful time. It was the highlight of a very bleak and lonely year for her. She is still smiling and laughing days after. She loved the performer who came to her home.

Easter bunny was a big hit but we definitely higher again.

Everything was perfect! Balloon twisting and Elmo!

First time using Gig Salad. Liked my communication right from the start. I did not have to follow up with you. several people replied to my post. I chose Maria. She was very prompt on replying to emails, and accommodated my change of date. She did use the info I provided to help make the singing telegram personal - and it worked: the Birthday Girl was indeed, surprised, and everything worked great. I'd use you again!

Our Santa was amazing!! It was so magical!

Thank you for providing the perfect Santa. My residents and families were so delighted. We could not be happier!

Thank you!! Everyone had a blast, especially the birthday boy!

Kids loved the balloon twisting and played freeze dance with darth vader. Had a great time

We had Maria the Energizer Bunny!! It was a great experience and will do it again. It was a last minute gift and was so happy they could accommodate me and the price was perfect. I will sure recommend you to my friends. Thank You!

I had a very pleasant experience with this person,she was very professional and nice ,what i requested she provided and she made my Birthday present to my Daughter very special, per my daughter she will remember this present the most.
Im very pleased ,anyone that reads this should consider this person as a option for any and all singing telegrams!!!

I hired two separate acts from Peoples Choice and both were great. Both arrived on time and stayed their full hour. They were all professional and very easy to work with. I’d use Peoples choice again for future needs.

Our tarot card reader arrived on time and was prepared with appropriate safety measures to make our guests feel comfortable. She was set up in an open garage setting with one guest at a time. Masks and gloves were utilized for each reading. We were very much appreciative of her desire and ability to provide entertainment for our small gathering during these crazy times.

The birthday girl was surprised and enjoyed the singing telegram. Maria creates a fun and unique song and the family enjoyed it. It was a great birthday gift.

We hired a chicken from Peoples Choice and Maria blew us all AWAY, she was hysterical and engaging! WE can not recommend her enough!

That was an awesome performance you put on. The family loved it and my daughter was surprised and she said she loved it too! Thank you for coming out and making her day special!

Maria called and ask me to tell her about my cousin and with that information she made up a little jingle that was spot on!!! We had a little situation during her performance and she was so gracious...thank you so much! My cousin doesn't care for these types of things but he loved it! It was Perect!

With all of the Senior year events being canceled due to the pandemic, I was looking for something to make my daughters graduation day memorable. The singing gorilla was a big hit. Great voice, very energetic, friendly and fun. Loved the personalized song. Thanks so much.

I want to sincerely thank Maria for coming to make my sister's 30th quarantine birthday a special one. Maria was well prepared with a song written based on the details I provided to her. She integrated my sister's love of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin into the song lyrics and sung it to the tune of "My way". It was fantastic! I'd highly recommend this service.

Everything went off without a hitch!

Great!!

Thank you you made our Easter so great🐇🐰🐣 I highly recommend your company and your employees ❌⭕️🐰🐣

I was not present but my husband said People’s Choice had lovely voice and costume. People’s Choice was responsive and professional.

Job well done

The event was a 50th birthday family party for my son. We All enjoyed her upbeat personality, energy and friendliness as she incorporated some fun filled and interesting things in her song to him. It was on point and also tastefully done for a family event. Many thanks to you, Maria. We will highly recommend you to anyone.

Book her for your events! She is so sweet and made the party a HIT! I have no regrets and she made our experience amazing! Thank you Maria!

Money well spent. We all had a great time. My kids haven't stopped talking about it. Can't wait to do it again.

A great time and performance!

She did an Excellent Job!!!! She made my fiances birthday!!! Thank you sooooo much Peoples choice

They were so responsive to my questions and Batman was great - he did balloons, taught the kids moves and danced with them!

I did face time the day of the event, so it really wasn't clear, but after watching the film, I really enjoyed it! I was told people were distracted and did not see the connection to the Eagles, but I think she did an excellent Job and I will be using her again!

I've been away since the 90th Birthday Party and our "French Maid", but everyone thought it was a lot of fun and enjoyed it. Thanks!

She did a great job! On time. Funny act. The personalized song was awesome. Thank you so much!
Dawne

It was so entertaining. It was definitely more than I expected and everyone couldn’t stop talking about it. I would definitely use her again!

Maria was really great! I sent a singing telegram to congratulate my business partner and Maria showed up in a gorilla suit and sang a song of congratulations! She was professional and kept up the communication on her end like a champ! I had to reschedule the initial visit because the recipients weren't going to be where I thought they were - and rescheduling was easy. THEN, it turns out I gave Maria the wrong address - - but she quickly rectified by communicating with me via text. She was great and I would def. hire her again!

I ordered the services for my boyfriend on Valentine's Day . A surprise of course . He called me from work laughing hysterically telling me how much he loved the singing gorilla . He said the woman was amazing . I will definitely be using people choice again . Thank you

We were very happy with People's Choice. It was my daughter's 2nd birthday. The combination of face painting, balloon twisting, and Elmo was perfect for the age range we had! Thank you for a job well done!

Omg....this was the best party ever. Those are the words of my 7yr old daughter. Her party was at Sky Zone in PA. The entire place was so excited to see him. I think the staff was more excited then the kids. People's Choice really made this a great party. The turtle was on time and really cool. He danced with the kids, it was great. If you're looking for entertainment, People's Choice is the place to go. Thanks to the person wearing the ninja turtle suit, you were awesome.

Sean did a great job face painting and the kids loved Leonardo!

Maria was absolutely wonderful! My email was answered very quickly for a Minnie Mouse costume character/ kids entertainment for my daughter's 1st birthday party. She arrived on time and set up right away to do face painting. All the kids loved it! She painted puppy dog faces, Minnie Mouse bows and butterflies. She even painted some the kid's hands. After face painting she made some balloon animals. She then said goodbye to all the kids.. Then Maria came back as Minnie Mouse! With her own Mickey Mouse Clubhouse music and danced with all the kids in a circle. There was also the chicken dance, hokey pokey and the limbo. Also the Minnie Mouse costume was in great condition. I especially loved when Minnie Mouse danced with my daughter. Maria did it all! I would call her again for my daughter's parties in the future. She had the best pricing out of a few others. Her price was very reasonable for all that she did for my daughter and the kids. After the party I got a lot of compliments on how all the kids had so much fun! Thanks Again!
