May 20, 2024Awesome experience!
Dave was easy to work with before hand with scheduling and explaining packages! Colleen came on time and was twisting balloons her entire time at the party! She was easy to communicate with and did a phenomenal job! We were very pleased start to finish!

June 9, 2022Kids loved it!
We signed up for a package that included balloon twisting, glitter tattoos and face painting. It was a small party, but Victoria was a big hit. The kids loved it and she was so sweet with them. She also arrived early and reached out the day before to confirm details. Highly recommend!

Thank you SO much for the 5 star review, Fritzie! Victoria is the absolute best and I'm so glad you loved her as much as I do. Let us know if you ever want her to come visit again! Thanks again!

August 20, 2019Absolutely amazing!
These two were incredible! We hired them for our event which was two states north of them, they arrived all smiles and were absolutely amazing with the kids! The kept asking to ensure all the kids had a chance to get a balloon and some face paint, and they were extremely patient with all the kiddos. I’m already planning next years event and will be hiring them again!

Thanks again,

June 22, 2026Nice enough. Needs outgoingness and signage.
The work provided was good. The artist was nice enough but didn’t engage really with anyone. I would have liked signage to say what they were doing or be told that we should provide it as kids didn’t really know what they were there for and even when they’d sit, he didn’t really talk at all. Would have loved to have the caricatures been personalized a little to include maybe the event title or in this case could have added grad caps since it was for a graduation.
Again, they were clean and kind but for the cost, I would have liked some personality and signage.

Hi Rebecca - thanks for your review and feedback :)

December 13, 2025OK
We greatly appreciate that Dave was able to find a last minute person. However, the person was not at the level we were expecting. Dave did not make the event, this review is for someone he found.
