May 22, 2026We had wild encounters for our charity fundraiser and the monkeys were a hit! Everyone is asking how we will top that next year - and I honestly don’t know. Thank you for your professionalism, fun and bringing the party to life!

December 1, 2025Michael canceled 30 minutes before our two year olds party for reasons we were understanding of. We promptly rescheduled for another date. The second party he no showed without giving any notice. I texted early that morning, no response. Texted 15 minutes after he was supposed to be there, no response. Called 30 minutes after he was supposed to be there, no answer. Use someone else. Horrible business and behavior.
