Hello thanks for stopping by Shimmy Giggles Entertainment. As we provide professional entertainment throughout the DFW area. We have many Birthday packages available for all budgets. We do facepainting, balloon twisting, magic, walk arounds, puppet, games, balloon & candy bouquets, diaper cakes and More.
As I can come as Ms. Shimmy Giggles the Clown, Hoppy Giggles the Bunny, Texas Shimmy Giggles, Cowgirl and Shimmy Giggles in her 50's,Ms Shimmy Giggles the Mouse, Ms. Santa Helper and more.
We booked Shimmy Giggles thinking that we would get someone dressed up and being fun with the kids. But looks like it was outsourced to couple of different people that were not entertaining at all. They definitely did not look very happy to be at the event. If we knew we were paying $110/hr for this we would have definitely gone with someone else that wanted to be there. No communication till I contacted two days before the event. No mention of someone else would show up at the party. Would definitely not hire them again.
Response from Shimmy Giggles:
Thank you for your review. I do apologize as our company has recently had a tragic loss of one of our owners so things around here have been a little out of norm. As we did want to meet the needs of your event, we sent out the entertainers who were available as most of our entertainers were at a funeral. I hope all others who are planning to use our services are understanding of this difficult time.
This bunny was adorable! The families loved her, can’t wait to get to work with them again!
Response from Shimmy Giggles:

Call me anytime we will take care of you. Thank you!
Beautiful person
Response from Shimmy Giggles:

Thank you!))🤶🤶🤶🤶🤶🤶🤶
We hired Shimmy to twist balloons for the kids at Halloween. She was the draw of the street. We had people show up at our driveway from other neighborhoods for the balloon lady. Thank you for making our Halloween the best.
Stormy was our face painter for our company's Fall/Halloween picnic. I was so impressed by Stormy's work and so were the attendees at the picnic. I would highly recommend using her and will remember her the next time we hold an event especially where employees' kids will be in attendance. She is truly an artist!

I had a last minute event to plan for and she was able to come in. She was on time, well organized polite and the kids loved her! Beautiful work and she does not skimp on the details! Would highly recommend.
Bubbles did an awesome job with the kids!!! She kept us all entertained and the kids kept coming back with more balloon requests!!! My daughter had no idea that she was coming. When Bubbles arrived, she was so excited and happy to share the fun with her friends! Thank you so much!! 🎉 🎈🎂💕
She was great with the kids and created beautiful balloons for every child at our birthday party.

Great job putting everything together and please keep us in mind for future events. Once again, Thanks SO MUCH... Big Hugs to the kiddos.
We had a drive through Trunk or Treat instead of our normal carnival. Our original hire fell ill and they seamlessly sent another person out to cover. He sis amazing and everyone was so happy!

Shimmy Giggles was absolutely AMAZING!
We had an event at our dental clinic and she did a great job connecting with both children and adults.
She literally made a balloon weed eater for one of our employees! 100% recommend her for your next event!
I booked a clown and face painter for my son's 1st birthday party and they were great! Both were fast and friendly. I will be booking them again.

Please do keep Rosie and Shimmy Giggles in mind when you book your next event. Take care and Big Hugs to the

Shimmy Giggles was the star of my son's first birthday party. She managed 15+ kids with ease , did a magic a show , played games and kept all the kids involved. Adults were also enjoying her show.
Kids loved her like anything. Shimmy handed out gifts for all the kids , made nice little name beads chains and all.
it was really refreshing to see someone doing the job driven by their passion and it was showing that she loved what she was doing.
I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER and I am definitely hiring her for next time.
She did great with the kids of ages 3-16 and adults. She played games and did balloon twisting with the kids. Shimmy Giggles was definitely a hit!!!! We will hire her again without a doubt for any future events.
Response from Shimmy Giggles:
Aww thank you so much. Anytime you guys need me I will be there. Love what you are doing and is very touching to me. My mom was a single parent who struggled to raise us and know the struggles parents can go through at time. It's touches my heart to see the love and support you guys give. If you ever need anything I'm hear to support and help. Big hugs and love to all of you.
Everything was amazing and wonderful! I can’t remover her name I’m sorry but she was wonderful with the kids and the tattoos and balloons were awesome!

From the introduction until the finale, Carrie was exceptional. Cared for the siblings and was overly generous.
I would highly recommend shimmy to any party. She was great with the kids and adults.
Thank you to Shimmy giggles for the best party ever. The kids absolutely LOVE YOU and all the parents want to know more about you! You made our party a wonderful success!

Thank you for allowing us the opportunity. It was truly a fun party and the kiddos & parents were awesome. All the decorations and everything looked great. Once again, thanks so much !! Take Care ...as its time to go bump a nose. Bubbles & Stormy
We loved Shimmy and her face painter! The balloons she twisted were awesome and she was very personable with both children & adults. I can't recall the painter's name but she is excellent and fast enough to complete several adults and children with beautiful details within an hour. I highly recommend Shimmy Giggles and friends!
Response from Shimmy Giggles:
And we loved being apart of your sons birthday event. You treated like family. We really enjoyed seeing everyone get there face painted (By Rosie... my awesome face painter) and seeing all the kiddos playing with there balloons.
You were a blessing to work with. Please keep us in mind if you ever need anything. Big Hugs... And take care .. Love Shimmy Giggles.... PS.. Tell the kiddos hello and big hugs.
Carrie is amazing. She has been out to our events numerous times and is a hit with both guests and our associates. She is very talented and has a great team she brings along with her. The kids love her, as do I! She is so easy to work with with is very appreciative of the opportunities! We have her out as much as possible and look forward to the days she comes in! Definitely give her a call!!
I have never hired any type of performer like this before, so I was unsure what to expect or who to choose, but whatever I did expect she far surpassed. Carrie is as excellent at what she does as she is a person. She came for a charity event and had the most wonderful way with the kids and treated them with such kindness and excitement, they absolutely loved her. You can tell she loves what she does and brings an absolute professionalism and passion to the job. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Response from Shimmy Giggles:

Keep making a difference in peoples lives as your efforts make a huge difference and make the world a better place. Thanks for all you do!
I want to thank, the two wonderful dear women for such a fun and relax time for my guest; they were so very patient and kind. They are indeed a class act. Loved them !!! I Will call a again for their wonderful service. Thanks again! Briant and Dionne P.

Just clowning around with facepainting, balloon twisting, puppets and more
I enjoy doing events for children from Make a Wish Foundation, Challenge Air, Fort Worth Food Bank, Children Medical Center, Girl Scouts. On top of this I love allowing the children to be a part of my show as children bring magical memories to any party.
facepainting need two chairs and a table
Balloon twisting like a small table and one chair
Ritvij S. said “Richard provided great entertainment to kids and adults as well!”
Eldorado C. C. said “We hired them for our Easter Party for around 200-300 people and they did fantastically! The kids loved them and they worked hard to make sure everyone…”
Jashun K. said “The team was awesome in every way possible!”
I'm a grandma who likes to delight kids by creating a wide variety of balloon designs to each child's specification. I bring a picture menu to help kids…
