I highly recommend NOT using Houston Characters. Setting up a Mickey-like character was easy…read moreenough on the phone - I indicated that I wanted Package B: 45 minutes of Fun & Games. They took my deposit via phone. My party was going from 10 am to Noon for a bunch of 2-3 year olds, and I booked the character from 10:30 am to 11:15 am so that the kids could dance, play games, take pictures, etc from 10:30 to 11:05 am, and then we sing happy birthday and finish up at 11:10 am (my pizza was being delivered at 11 am). I was told the day before that the character would call me in the morning to find out if the party was indoors or outdoors so he would know what shoes to bring. I never got a call in the morning, so at 9:40 am, I called the main number and no one answered. I called again at 10 am and got someone and they said the character was on his way and that he had picked up both sets of shoes. At 10:35 am, no character still, so I called again and the lady told me that the character was there (he supposedly had messaged her), but perhaps he was parked down the street getting dressed b/c he would be coming in costume. The character showed up at my door at 10:48 am - NOT in costume. He spent about 5 minutes setting up his speaker/iPod, and then asked for payment before getting dressed (which I had ready for all of the vendors that day so I went ahead and gave it to him - I wish I hadn't but at this point I wanted him to hurry up and get the show on the road!). He then went upstairs to get dressed (another 5-7 minutes). When he finally came down and made his entrance, it was 11:05 am - a full 35 minutes AFTER he was scheduled to start! Mind you, the pizza had already been delivered at this point and was getting cold. The character did 15 minutes of dance to songs (one of the songs he pulled out a parachute to lift up and down). No games were played. Then at 11:20 am we started taking pictures. At 11:27 am we cut the cake and had the kids start eating lunch (at this point we were running 30 minutes behind b/c of the character being so late). The character pretty much just stood around for the rest of the time since the kids were all eating. All in all, I paid for a package that included 45 minutes of Fun & Games. Not a single game was played. The Fun was only for 27 minutes and the rest of the time he was standing around b/c he came so late. I don't know why the character was messaging the main office that he was at the location on time when he wasn't! What's even more annoying is that I spent a good 45 minutes on the phone during my daughter's birthday party dealing with the situation (when I should have been enjoying the party!). I called them the Monday after and was told that someone would call me back by Wednesday to discuss the matter. No one called. I have called another 3-4 times since then over the course of two weeks and left messages, and no one answers the phone or returns my call. Overall, I do NOT recommend using this company. Customer service is lacking and they have no sense of keeping to a schedule. Starting 35 minutes when you are only scheduled for a 45 minute session for a 2 hour party is completely unacceptable. Even if you stay the full 45 minutes just standing around to kill time to hit your 45 minutes, it's not acceptable to arrive that late!

This company was amazing. The initial transaction over the phone was very professional.

The lady who came to impersonate sponge bob came in the house first to set up her radio. She was very professional. She took the rest of the money I owed her in cash at that time before going to put on the costume near her car. The kids enjoyed the show and were still talking about it the next day. Everyone got to dance, take pictures, and sing happy birthday with sponge bob. I was dangerously close to putting on my mud mask and doing a clown routine for the kids (which would have been a disaster). I really feel blessed that there was a company that did not charge as much as the others and still made my daughter's birthday party an awesome one that she will always remember!

I was for it, but as I got to thinking.. I wanted to try something different. I mean.. you only turn 13 once! After some research I decided to recommend a foam party to her. She was a little hesitant at first not knowing what to expect out of a foam party. She agreed to give it a shot. I got everything set up through Steve, luckily they had availability for the weekend we were planning! On party day they arrived on time, set up quickly and worked around our yard and other decorations/ party games. Once the foam daddy started up the kids were amazed! The yard was filled with foam, music was going...it was awesome and something they had never experienced before. The grown ups joined in and even our pets!! The Sea Foam Parties team did an awesome job at keeping everyone entertained throughout our time with them. All around great experience!! If you are looking for something different ... something epic!! don't hesitate and schedule your foam party NOW! It was a complete hit for my daughter's officially a teenager party!! my youngest was already wanting to plan the same for her next birthday. Thanks for taking our party over the top.

At the event, we had the pleasure to work with her and their A1, David. David is a very knowledge sound tech and helped us achieve amazing results for our client. We took their team to a second show the next day and again they did not disappoint. On time, flexible, friendly, and very knowledgeable in their craft! Thank you WBSAV for making my job go smoothly!

Brittney was easy to work with, professional, and brought such a positive, welcoming energy that our guests immediately felt comfortable. Her bartending skills were top notch drinks were made quickly, consistently, and tasted great. She handled the adult crowd seamlessly while also being so kind and engaging with the kids, which made a big difference for families at the event. What really stood out was her attention to detail to keep the bar area clean and organized throughout the night, anticipating what guests needed, and always doing it all with a smile. She truly went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time. Highly recommend Brittney for any event--you won't be disappointed!

This was my first time planning a party and hiring a bartender, so I honestly didn't know where to start. I was very pleased with Daylann and Gold Standard Staffing. She was incredibly helpful from the beginning to end. When I requested a quote, we spoke over the phone and she shared some great ideas that helped me solidify what I wanted from a bartender. She was clear about what I needed to purchase (and what she brings the night of service) making it very easy for me to prepare for the bar service. She was available the weeks leading up to the party to answer all my questions and never once made me feel like I was asking dumb questions (although I probably was). The day of the party arrived, and she handled everything. She was friendly, made delicious drinks, and just took care of my guests. If I need a bartender for a future event, I will 100% be calling Daylann and Gold Standard Staffing.

Horrible puns aside, Vibrant Wings has tons of packages and options (think boxes, species, delivery mechanisms, etc.); incredibly responsive staff; and punctual delivery. Regarding this service, the biggest highlights for me: 1. Kathy was great to work with: I sent emails and made phone calls to make sure I was doing everything correctly. She was patient and professional through the entire process. 2. The Monarch butterflies were gorgeous, large, and flapped up a storm! 3. Zero fatalities on my wedding day. This can't emphasized enough! 4. Guests loved them as well! You will be approached by friends who will frankly state that they will steal your idea of releasing butterflies at their own wedding haha! Despite the cheeky commentary in my review, I want to say that Vibrant Wings Butterflies deserves an A+ rating and, should the occasion arise, I will definitely do business with them again! -Jim
