I booked with them for a Bluey character to come to my kids' birthday party. The first 30 minutes was balloon animals and the next hour was the same performer dressed as Bluey and doing some activities with the kids and finally singing happy birthday with the cake. Nomi was AMAZING! He was so professional, cool and handled the requests of kids so well. I will definitely be booking with this company again!

The performers truly brought the magic to life, staying in character the entire with balloons magic tricks ( Mickey ) & mannerisms, and energy that kept the kids (and adults) completely mesmerized. From the moment they arrived, they engaged with every guest, leading games, taking photos, and making the birthday child feel extra special. The costumes were great and looked just like the pictures i requested. If you're looking to create an unforgettable party experience, I highly recommend them! Everybody kept telling that my baby's birthday was the best one-year-old party they've ever attended. It definitely was over the top.

From the moment…read moreshe arrived (right on time!), she took complete control of the party in the best way possible and made everything feel effortless for us. She ran such a fun and well-organized program with parachute games, lots of dancing, singing, and interactive activities that kept all the kids fully engaged the entire time. Every child was involved and having the best time -- which meant us adults actually got to relax and enjoy some alone time (huge win! ). Kris is a fantastic communicator, very flexible, and truly professional. She took all the stress off my shoulders and made the whole experience smooth and magical. I highly recommend her if you want a fun, stress-free, and memorable party!

Parents kept expressing their delight about being able to relax and just watch their kids enjoy themselves. She called the week of the party to go over details, which immediately eased my planning anxiety. The day of, she had full control of the room while keeping everything joyful and seamless. Most importantly, she made the birthday girl feel incredibly special--and even included baby brother in sweet, thoughtful ways. She also guided us on where to stand for photos and how to time the cake cutting so we could capture beautiful moments. If you're considering booking Kris, don't hesitate--she truly made the day magical for everyone.

I cannot say enough good things about our experience! From start to finish, the customer service has been top notch.

Deadpool even coordinated with our DJ to provide an entrance that we will never forget! The entire time, we felt like Deadpool was really there. His voice, mannerisms, comments, everything was just perfect. Deadpool connected with each of our guests no matter what the age and made my daughter feel so special and celebrated. It was truly a party to remember!

So not only is she friendly and talented, but she was willing to learn on the fly to meet the needs of our group and ensure they were happy. I would definitely recommend her for all of your glitter tattoo needs, and really who doesn't have glitter tattoo needs? She also does non-glitter temporary tattoos, henna, face painting, etc. According to her website there are also characters for hire & specialty acts. She's not based in SF, but that's where my event was so that's where I'm listing her.

Brenda…read morewas our Month of Coordinator and she went ABOVE AND BEYOND.First of all, they did not oversell themselves...I told them what I had already accomplished before even calling them and they said, "you only need month of coordination. you've got this." However, a few months before the wedding I was so overwhelmed with all the detail that Brenda offered to meet and she just helped me organized my priorities and made me feel really good about the progress I had made. She did the same 6 weeks later. OMG, so helpful to keep me going and manage the overwhelm. As the date grew nearer, she started leading more to ensure we took care of those horrible details (seating charts, signage, communication with vendors, table set ups, and the timeline, etc). At every moment she was calm, lovely, relatable, fun, reassuring, and extremely competent. The week before the wedding she came over and took ownership of all the "stuff" (candles, ceremony items, decorations, etc). That felt sooo good. She was great at the rehearsal and made sure "all the cats were herded"so we got through the rehearsal and worked out all the details. The day of the wedding? We were so relaxed and didn't think about a single thing. The tables were set exactly as we had discussed, the ambiance was amazing, every little detail she had taken care of. and then she cleaned up and stored everything for us and then brought it back to us a couple of days later. During the wedding, Brenda was a total ninja....I barely saw her at the wedding as she was in the background making it all happen so we could enjoy our guests. A guest even took a picture of her that makes her look like the super hero she is, LOL! You will LOVE working with Brenda. I cannot recommend her more vigorously. She is amazing.

From the first call, she put our anxious brains at ease and listened carefully to what weirdo vision we had in mind + what things we were most afraid of turning awry. Having never planned such a fete before, I had hella dumbass questions to lob at her, but that did not faze her at all. Not only is Cierra hypercompetent at her job and super solutions-oriented and knowledgeable, she is a plain joy to talk to and bounce ideas off of and joke around with. Just an all-round cool human that added to the overall atmosphere of love and appreciation we wanted to foster at our wedding (while also running an impeccably tight ship without breaking a sweat). ANYWAY needless to say we are major Cierra fans here and want you all to know that she is a dream collaborator for your big day, may you be so lucky!
