April 5, 2026Made our party one to remember
We had an Easter party the day before Easter. We hired them for an Easter bunny, balloon twister, and face painter. They made us a custom quote for our party, and exceeded expectations. The face painter was amazing, everyone was raving about how good it was. The balloon twister was so interactive with the kids and could make anything they asked for. The Easter bunny came after and was such an amazing moment for all the kids big and small.

We had a spring event for our community center members and the bunny was perfect. He was a big hit, everyone including the adults enjoyed taking photos & it was a plus when he walked around greeting everyone. They were early, the suit was clean & presentable and they were very polite, we will definitely use them again & highly recommend using them for your event
