It's not just his talent with super fun and surprising balloon characters but his adaptive nature and outstanding personality, engaging everyone at the parties/events. I would absolutely recommend him for all types of occasions : private or big birthday parties, festivals, block parties, - anywhere there will be children!! He is one less thing at your party you need to worry about because he is a sure thing! Truly, he is a whole family favorite!!

What a fun performer. I came across him at the Park Ridge Kiwanis annual pancake breakfast, where…read morehe was doing some entertaining mostly for the kids but definitely for the adults as well. It's through him that I heard of the Central Street Busker Festival that took place the next day and his line was loooong! Most recently, we went to his show last week that the Mt. Prospect Public Library held for spring break. That was very very well attended, with a long line of folks waiting to get in (and that's with all of us registered to attend!), but the show was a lot of fun. He did a little magic, a little comedy, and some fun balloon tricks. This guy has been doing this all his adult life--unless that's also a joke and part of his act--but regardless, he's great at his job. I'm looking forward to seeing him again and my little one having the chance to pick her balloon creation on her own.

We used Grand Rental in Yorkville for our Granddaughter's wedding in Aug 6, 2022 for several items…read morewe needed that the venue did not supply. We have always worked with Jennifer each year for the Yorkville Alumni Reunion and she is so organized and takes great care of us by keeping track of what we use each year and has the delivery of all the tables & chairs and coverings there for us in time for scheduled setup. Jennifer is so much help with the special event and wedding portion of the business. She goes out of her way to make sure you have everything you might need to make that day as special and memorable as it should be. An added plus... she has a quick wit and a joy to deal with ! Kudos to Joe, the owner, and some young man that was working on Sat morning Aug 6, 2022.. the day of our Granddaughter's wedding.. The father of the bride ( our son ) decided at 11:15Am ( 45 minutes before Grand Rental closed) and wedding was at 2:00 and we were to be at church at 1:00.... that we needed to rent an enclosed trailor to haul decor home from the reception hall and church !! We called at last minute.. Jennifer was on vacation, they were very busy.. they said they had one.. they took all our info that was on file, charged my card, Father of bride drove his brothers truck to hook it up, and they had it ready to go after a few signatures and everyone made it to the church in Plano by required times. This is what you call customer service. Thank you Jennifer , Joe and staff for always being there.. We look forward to doing business with your company for years to come......

Ladies!! Thank you…read moreso much for all you did to help my wedding day turn out as beautifully as it did. From all of the planning we did over a year ago until the day of the wedding. I still can't get over how much fun the day was! But you helped the entire process go smoothly and I never felt overwhelmed which I normally do as a certified control freak! The florals turned out better than I could have imagined, and I will never forget the added touches you took care of! You and your team went well above and beyond, and I can't tell you how appreciative Mark and I are of everything you did. It did not go unnoticed! Your attention to detail and communication with our vendors made things flow on the day like a perfectly choreographed production! We just had to show up and enjoy ourselves and we did! Thank you so much, we can't wait to come up with a party to work with you all again!
