Silly WIlly was dressed up like a clown and Spiderman for my three-year-old grandson's Spiderman birthday party. The majority of the children were between four months and three years old and they were scared including my grandson, but he did a great job and making them feel comfortable. He made wonderful balloon animals, and did face painting for a few of the children who weren't scared. He was very kind and did a wonderful job. I would highly recommend him and the service. I would definitely hire him/them for future birthday parties. read more

I couldn't write sooner, or rather didn't make time to, since I've been very busy and went on vacation after my son's birthday party.... Fabian was absolutely great as the clown and then Woody!! I was worried we had a really difficult group of little kids.. Lol I had kids there who are usually scared of the characters. Well, they all loved him!! I was so pleasantly surprised! You guys do an amazing job! I can send you pictures if you like/need any as well. I also was insisting he stay and enjoy the party, but he declined as that wouldn't be professional. I was really very impressed! read more

Very pleasant to work with. I had to change the date due to rain and he still patiently worked with me and did his best to squeeze me in for the next day. Very reasonable prices. read more

The kids were happy so I guess that's ok. But the Superman they sent, although he was nice, he wasn't into the part that much, I was a little disappointed with his performance, and I wasn't the only Adult to say that. This was for my sons first birthday party. He was also a little scrawny for Superman ‍he didn't even say good buy to the kids when leaving. I feel like people barely new he was there. For $170 I expected more read more

Best Entertainment Around - DJs Near Me - Union City, New Jersey

OBest Entertainment Around is named that for a reason. I booked a 2 hour Mickey & Minnie party months in advance. I never had to worry but I touched base with Jim the day before my event. We had a 1st birthday party for my granddaughter. Unlike one of the reviews stated, Jim returned every message within an hour. Also the entertainer, who I believed name was Melissa, called me about a half hour before and said she might run a few minutes late. Which she didn't. She arrived right on time. But I appreciated the heads-up just in case. She was amazing with the kids. She did everything she was supposed to. She was wonderful with the kids. She didn't leave anyone out and gave extra special attention to the birthday girl. read more

Used them for my daughters birthday and they were extremely professional right from the first time I spoke to them to discuss the options. I had requested the Hello Kitty Character for my daughter and the girl was there dot on the time.She sneaked in to the party straight to the restroom without getting too much attention and within minutes the big kitty was out. The kids had a fantastic time with all the singing and dancing.You really gotta love your job to be able to entertain and keep so many kids happy.After all the singing and dancing she changed into a clowns costume and did face painting, balloons,tattoos etc for kids. All the kids had such a good time and actually so did all the parents..:-). Thank you Lisa..you are the best and your company really lives upto its name read more

Had a birthday party for my son a few a months ago. Was really disappointed for $200 something the silly magician was late because of parking but you would think they would plan ahead. Would have been more entertaining for 4 year olds but the silly magic was not amusing for 7 year olds. She didn't not have patience and did not have the personality that you should have to entertain young kids. Really disappointing. read more

We had entertainer from Best Entertainment Around for our son's first birthday mickey themed party and the lady did terrific job. Everyone enjoyed including adults. We were little skeptical before the party, but boy, they did surprise us. Booking was also smooth to begin. Highly recommended! read more

We had hired an Elmo for my daughter's second birthday from here because the reviews were very good as well as reasonably priced for the hour of balloon sculpting and entertaining. When the lady arrived, she was on time, very cheerful and excited to do the party, despite the horrible heat. I didn't want her to be too uncomfortable in the elmo costume, because the cake would be cut on our deck. She was very willing to stay later if needed and do anything she could to entertain the children. I was really happy with her positive attitude and I will be recommending this company to my friends. The lady's name was Eva. Thank you! read more

Amazing!!! I had a Hello Kitty character for my daughters 2nd birthday. I love that she came in as a clown 1st. No one expected her to change into Hello Kitty. She was so friendly and patient. My daughter was so afraid at 1st but she warmed up later. Great job. read more

I used this company tonight to send my husband a Valentines telegram at work. I wasn't present when the entertainment arrived as I wanted it to be a surprise but I was later sent a video of the performance. The performer did an excellent job and my husband was thrilled with the telegram. I would recommend this company to anyone. The customer service was great and very thorough. I am very happy with my purchase and will use them again in the future. read more

Had a First Birthday Party for my granddaughter with a Sesame Street theme and cotton candy machine. I want to say that it went very very well and the young man that did it all was a very nice, pleasant, patient, soft spoken person as well as prompt and courteous. EVERYONE enjoyed him a lot as Elmo, Cookie Monster and the balloon clown. People asked me who I used. I hope you can relay that to him from all the party goers.. Thank you Debbie Found out his name is Fabian..Thanks Fabian!!! And Jim responded to everything quickly.. Thanks! read more

Thank you so much for all of your help finding the perfect mermaid for my daughters' first Birthday. Flora was amazing!!! So professional and did so much in one hour (when other companies wanted a lot more to do nothing!) Flora even said she wished she could have done more when I thought she did a substantial amount of activities especially considering there were over 10 kids!! The face painting was beautiful! She played with the kids and and lead everyone in happy birthday. She even found the time to make balloon animals and when she was leaving she noticed 2 kids without and stayed to make them each one! I will definitely be using you in the future and have already told many friends about you guys for their kids' parties in the future! Thanks again and kudos to you and your company! read more

I had a Red Monster Character for my daughter's first birthday and He was awesome! So great with the kids, even sounded like the real thing and also the same person did some clowning - balloon sculpting, stickers dancing etc. and they had a great time. They were a little slow with the paper work and seemed unorganized but I know they are working on that. read more

I had corresponded with Jim on Monday, March 28, 2016 for my son's 4th birthday party on Saturday, July 30, 2016. We had agreed on a having TWO people come to my home to dress up as superheroes (Captain American, Spiderman, and Optimus Prime) for an agreed upon price. A week later, I followed up with Jim to confirm everything. He did not answer my phone calls or texts. When we were able to communicate, Jim stated, "I think that price of $375 was for ONE person switching to all those costumes. I would be able to get a better price closer to the event." A month later in May, Jim could not recall the location of my event, and then he stated that the price of $375 was in fact for ONE person and anything else would not be possible. I took screenshots of our previous text conversations, and I later received a text on May 17, 2016 that he was unable to read what had been originally sent back and forth and that he was missing some of the performers who were there before in my area so any kind of discounted rate would have to be applied a week before anything else. He also stated that he could not guarantee anything. On Friday, June 3rd, I received a text that he would be able to work something out, but I would have to have ONE performer come out to my home for an agreed upon rate. He took my order around June 11, 2016. 20 minutes before the beginning of my son's party, I received a text and a phone call that the performer was broken down on the side of the road and would most likely not be able to come to the party! I told him that he needed to find me another performer. Jim then stated, "I won't be able to do this." I asked him, 'What do you expect me to tell my 4-year-old son who has been looking forward to seeing Captain America, Spiderman, and Optimus Prime for months and months as well as all of his friends???" Jim replied, "I don't know. I don't like your attitude. I'll refund your money." He then HUNG UP ON ME!! I would NOT recommend doing business with this gentleman, nor his business. He will agree upon one thing and will later tell you something differently. He does not respond quickly to texts or phone calls. I cannot begin to express to everyone reading this how disappointed my son and his friends were. It was absolutely heart breaking. read more

What a horrible experience I had on 8/30/15 with this company. First of all the clown arrived at 5:09pm. Then the clown wasn't ready so he went to put on makeup and started working at 5:18pm. He did not do tattoos, bubbles, nor dancing or singing. He did three magic shows and face painting that was it. He didn't seem like he was fully present at the party( try hiring kid friendly people). To top it off he left exactly at 5:54pm so I paid for 1hr and all I got was a crapy service and 36min of a show. You should feel ashamed running a business like this !!!! I contacted the owner ERIC and he had nothing to say not a phone call or email to apologize. PARENTS DO NOT HIRE THESE PEOPLE!!!! read more

They came to our little one's birthday party with two things to do. One was balloon twisting with the kids and the other was dancing on kids songs. While they did the first part well, they messed up the dance bit. Their music player / CD was acting up and then totally stopped playing in the middle of the performance. We felt embarrassed as all the kids and parents were just standing there waiting for the music to resume. Very disappointing! read more

I received a quote online from gigmsters.com about this company. I called to confirm the price and Jim the manager told me that the online quote was wrong and that he would not honor the quoted price. Jim, the supposed manager, was rude and unprofessional and was not willing to comply with the quote they provided to me online. If the level of service before my Son's first birthday party was this poor, I can only imaging the level of service on the day of an actual event. DO NOT BOOK WITH THEM! IF I COULD GIVE LESS THAN ONE STAR I WOULD. read more

We recenlty celebrated our daughter's birthday party! We were very pleased with the service and act we used to entertain the children! Thank you for everything! read more
