Met Pat today at a party and WOW -- his talent was incredible to watch unfold right in front of your eyes! He was so friendly, energetic, and amazing with the kids. Everyone absolutely loved him. He made all kinds of creations -- Pokémon characters, dinosaurs, flowers, race cars, hedgehogs, arrows, unicorn and so many fun balloon designs I couldn't even keep up! The creativity and detail he puts into each piece is seriously impressive. Not only was the art itself amazing, but watching him work was entertainment on its own. You can truly tell he loves what he does. I would absolutely recommend Pat for any type of event -- kids' parties, adult parties, school events, company events, anything! Such a fun and memorable experience for everyone there today. read more

"Pat has wowed our family events in perfect style. He created balloon hats, wearable sculptures, and fun balloon giveaways with ease and incredible creativity. My son was thrilled at his birthday! At another event, he energized the dance floor by dressing up many guests with large, colorful balloon hats. Pat added a wonderful layer of visual fun and photo opportunities that we'll cherish for a lifetime." read more

I can't compliment this business enough! They are the best! I had to find a vendor last minute since my plans for my daughter's 7th birthday fell through. This was the best decision ever and I can't thank the owner Pat enough for his fast response. I contacted him on Wed. for a party on Saturday and he managed to make it work. I chose the face painting and balloon twisting option. Suzy came and she did an A+ job!! Her face painting skills are incredible and all the kids at my daughter's party were sooo happy and excited with the results. She was so fun and pleasant to talk to, and really engaged well with the kids. She even managed to make balloon twists after all our guests had their faces painted. A lot of parents came up to me and complimented me on her skills and many of them wanted her contact info. This business is very well organized and well run. I would highly recommend them for a kids birthday party! read more

I was hosting my sister's baby shower and had a very specific vision that I needed help executing - I wanted puppy balloons as the table centerpieces. Problem was, my inspiration pictures were highly specialized pieces from artists in Japan and Malaysia. There are only 1-2 known artists in the entire Bay Area that would consider taking on this type of work - that is, until I met Pat! I was shocked (but so happy/grateful) when Pat accepted my custom balloon commissions. He spent two months practicing and learning the strong techniques of the international artists. Pat has been creating custom balloons for over 20 years and yet he was willing to learn new skills to help bring my vision to life! I didn't have a back up plan... I put all my faith in Pat. I just had a feeling that he was going to make it happen... AND HE DID! Pat went ABOVE AND BEYOND! Not only were the balloons he created spot-on to the inspo pictures I sent, he listened and executed all of my color requests! Aside from his amazing balloon talent, Pat was extremely professional, communicative and overall, a pleasure to work with! I highly recommend Pat / Balloon Creations!!! read more

Recently had Pat at our church's Pride on the Corner festival to create balloon animals & hats. He was a big hit with both kids and adults. LOTS of colorful animals, bracelets and hats floating around the event lending color and fun. Pat is funny, personable and VERY creative. I asked him for a trans dragon for my son and he delivered! :) Professional, easy to deal with, was on time. We'll definitely hire him again. Highly recommend Pat for your event! read more

Pat is the best balloon artist I have ever met. We've been to a few parties with balloon artists and no one compares to Pat! He is creative and imaginative and can make anything you ask for AND add a creative twist to it (like making it a hat or something that doubles as a part of the balloon creature and a handle). All the kids and adults were impressed by him. I might need to have more parties just to hire him again. read more

Pat and his amazing balloon creations have been a central part of our annual fall bash for the last few years -- he always delights everyone in the crowd, and brings remarkable fun and creativity to the party. Highly recommended. read more

Pat does a stellar job creating balloon sensations. He is amiable, professional and worth every dollar. All the kids loved his creations, which he humorously and happily twisted and turned to hand over to their smiling faces. Thanks, Pat! read more

We invited Pat to come and make balloon creations for kids at the Opportunity Center in Palo Alto on October 29th, 2017. It was an amazing time. The balloons lead to conversations about creativity and using your imagination. The kids from our church and those living at the Opportunity Center loved it and couldn't get enough. Pat was even making creations after he had packed up and was headed to his car. He is a great guy and pleasure to work with. Great for any party or event where there are kids who want to be creative and stretch their imaginations. read more

Balloon Creations Entertainers - Another amazing creation by Pat that led to many chicken jokes! - Party & Event Planning Near Me

We've used Balloon Creations Entertainers for the past 15 years for our World Famous ROCK & ROLL Picnic. They are dependable and always give their best performance. We get their clown for the kids but I think the adults get the most entertainment out of it! I made a big scheduling error on my last picnic, but they worked with me and made sure my guests we entertained and laughing. I HIGHLY recommend this company! read more

I contacted Pat about potentially hiring him for a birthday party. I admit these are weird times and I would normally not ask anyone about their vaccination status. I was apologetic and asked politely and told him he could decline to answer. I was immediately met with rudeness and told that "this is my business" and "good luck with my shopping." He could have simply declined to answer in a professional manner, and I would not be typing this review. I've spoken to a couple other entertainers who were kind and offered this information up front so I can make the best decision for my party guests. read more

I agree with Susan P. This guy was rude when I was trying to ask him about pricing. He made me feel horrible and pretty much told me he didn't want my business because I wasnt willing to pay over three hundred dollars for entertainment. I ended spending that much anyway on someone else who provided amazing service from the beginning and probably makes balloons just as great if not better. Also, I actually saw the cheap clown ($200+) at a party. His act sucked, I've seen more entertaining storybook readers at the local library, and he was kind of cranky with the kids and told inappropriate jokes to try to make the parents laugh, who weren't paying attention anyway. I don't care if this guy made balloons for Robin Williams movie 20 years ago. I just wanted someone to entertain kids for a first birthday party. Check out perry yan - he does balloons and some decent magic - and he KNOWS that customer service is important unlike pat in the shat. read more

Pat made a fantastic big bear for our party! You could see that he took a lot of care and time to make it, as it had many different shaped and colored balloons. He also made a small baby bear, which was adorable. Everyone loved the the balloon bears, which made our party stand out. Thanks Pat! I'll definitely refer Pat to my friends. read more

Pat made the adults at our party last month feel like happy kids again. I got a stunning birthday crown from a genuine soul with great kindness and humor. read more

I have used Balloon Creations in the past for my sisters 7th birthday party, and my little cousins birthday party and they were great! I had two different clowns come out for each party and they did an excellent job at entertaining all of the kids at the party. They had more than just balloon hats and pirates swords. One of the clowns was so great he made a little dress for my sister made out of all balloons. She was a happy little balloon princess that day! Balloon Creations was worth the price. They called before hand to confirm the party date and made sure that everyone at the party was having fun. I would definitely hire them again for the next birthday party we hold. read more

My company loves having Balloon Creations Entertainers at our events!! We've done several now, including in-office events and health fairs and it's always been a great asset to have Pat there to entertain our guests. Not only does he create amazing balloon art, he's always willing to engage with the children and parents to make sure they're having a good experience. Booking with him has always been a really easy process with no hassles on the billing end. It's all very professional and consistent. I'd recommend Balloon Creations for any event that needs a little fun : ) read more

Pat created a ballon sculpture for an event I attended and I was incredibly impressed with his skill and creativity! The piece was truly a work of art! He is so talented and such a friendly, kind man to work with! I will definitely call him for any upcoming events and highly recommend him! read more

Pat is a master balloon creator! From the moment of contact for his services to his arrival, he had a warm party persona. He was great with the kids and super flexible with our needs. We were left with a gigantic balloon sculpture (that's the only way to describe it) that made me tear up when it eventually lost its air.... Would use him again and highly recommend. read more

I just had the pleasure of hiring Pat in the Hat for my son's 3rd birthday party this past Saturday. We had over 50 people at the party including, 12 children and my 97 year old Auntie. He kept the entire party entertained and held the attention of my most energetic 3 year old. His balloon creations were amazing... I even had one of the adults try to stump him by asking for a hamster balloon for his daughter and wouldn't you know it, it looked just like a hampster!!! I had him make a special hat for my 97 year old auntie which she wore for the rest of the party!! Well worth it. Thanks Pat in the Hat for making our Prince's 3rd birthday so memorable.

Amazing!!!!! We hired Pat in the Hat for our company picnic this past weekend. We had about 60 children waiting in line for balloons. As soon as the adults saw them they got in line as well! I have never seen anything like what Pat can create with those balloons! He is so talented, and his personality kept everyone laughing! We had two jump houses, a DJ, dance lessons, multiply games going on while Pat was here, however almost everyone was gathered around him and his balloons. He was the talk of the party! We can't wait to hire him again! Thanks Pat! I highly recommend this company! read more

My son's 4th birthday party was the best party ever thanks to Balloon Creations Entertainers. Pat in the Hat's hysterical show had the kids and parents laughing hard the whole time.

I highly recommend this company! read more

Thank you Pat in the Hat for a great event! It was so much fun!! I saw you at the church event in Saratoga and wanted to book you for my daughter's birthday party. Thank you for the ease in the booking process on such a hasty timeline. Highly recommended. read more

This guy may be talented, but he's a real jerk. Gave me a quote for my one hour gig of $200 when I already knew it should have been a $150 based on quotes from many other professional, and highly-rated folks on Yelp. When I challenged him, he ran through his resume, suggested that the others charging less did crappy work and were amateurs, and then hung up on me. I was being polite, so I was shocked. I think that if you are a small business owner, you should work a little more on the customer service. All I did was point out to the guy that he was charging more than his competitors. read more

Pat in the Hat just did my son's 7th birthday, this is the 3rd year in a row that I have had Pat and the 2nd year in a row I have had his face painter!

At each of my 3 parties I have had 25 kids and a time limit, he made 25 custom balloon creations in 45 minutes plus each year makes and extra special one, this year was drago by bakugan, every kid in the room wanted to be my son! Worth every penny and they some!!!!!!!!!! read more
