February 5, 2023Rick is so great!!!
We hired Rick for our daughters 1st birthday party. He was so great! The kids were mesmerized at him making them whatever balloon they asked for. He was even entertaining for the adults to watch. It was the perfect addition to her Mardi Gras themed party. Thank you Rick!!!

August 13, 2017Children's Birthday Party
Mr. Hessler was hired to preform at my daughters' birthday party ( they were turning 3 and 5). The kids we had attend ranged from 1-13 years old. I was a little nervous that the older kids would be bored but that was not the case. He kept everyone, including the adults, engaged and entertained for the entire hour! The party was a definite success and everyone had a fantastic time. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone and would be exited to attend another party he was preforming at. His rates were also extremely reasonable.
