Welcome to Serious Silliness- the memorable entertainment you need to make your event ✨pop✨! With 10+ years of experience twisting balloons at fairs, church events, and circuses, my balloons are the perfect addition to any event.
I also provide deluxe princess parties with a variety of available princesses, fairies, and popular characters! 👑 For these events, the entertainer will arrive in costume with games (themed to match the character) and activities (such as glitter tattoos and balloon twisting) for the party. Photo opportunities will be available to make a truly magical memory for your child!
Thank you for your interest in my page, and I hope to join you at your next event!
Gretchen is a fantastic performer! She’s amazing with the kids and engages the whole audience. She went above and beyond. I can’t recommend her enough and I will definitely use her again. Thank
You for everything! You made a little girls dream come true 💜
Gretchen came in time and was well prepared, cheerful and professional! Kids had so much fun with her! Would definitely recommend!
Response from Serious Silliness- Balloons by Gretchen:
Thank you so much for your review! The birthday party was a blast and I enjoyed being part of it 😁
We hired Gretchen for our grandmothers 96th birthday and she exceeded all our expectations! Extremely professional, prompt, easy to communicate with- she has it all! On top of that her work is super cute and everyone thoroughly enjoyed her work! I’m so happy that she was a part of a very special day, even my 96yr old grandmother said how happy her balloon flamingo made her! Thank you Gretchen!
She came in time, was so friendly and polite, did awesome job and I highly recommend her!

As a balloon entertainer, I make colorful balloon creations that match my engaging personality! A great addition to any event. All twisting balloons are made of natural rubber latex.
Princess (or character) Parties include full-group activities and entertainment for the length of booking. At these events, I will arrive in costume with a variety of games and activities to entertain the whole group!
I have been twisting balloons for over a decade and love the happiness that it spreads. I twist a wide variety of adorable creations. Balloons have a special sort of magic about them that enchants children and adults alike, and I can't wait to bring that special "wow factor" to your event!
I have a B.S.Ed. in Elementary Education with specializations in Spanish and Special Ed. Please let me know if there are any accommodations I can make for your kiddos!
