    James Performing at daughter's 4th birthday
    Ernesto G.

    We met James after waiting an hour in line to get our daughter a balloon at Santana Row Easter festivities. He was incredibly gracious, kind patient, and took his time to make sure our daughter's request was met, he was totally unfazed by sweltering heat and long line, a total pro. We were so impressed with James that we hired him for our daughter's 4 year old birthday party in the East Bay ( Alamo, California). It was a big ask considering James is based in South Bay, but fortunately for us he was able to accommodate us due to happenstance. He was a big hit at the birthday party, and the kids loved his magic act. He went out of his way to make our daughter feel special and included in his act. After the act he made sure all the kids got a customized balloon, and he even made many extras to handout as party favors when the kids left. I never got the feeling one time that he was watching the clock, quite the opposite, he was committed to providing memories and a good time. From a business standpoint he was flexible, easy and pleasant to deal with. I can't recommend him highly enough. We were so thankful to have him be a part of the festivities.

    James performed at my daughter birthday. He was phenomenal. He. Amazing with children; they were super excited and he could not make those balloons fast enough. Both kids and adults very entertained by his act. Best of all, he was super accommodating. I cannot say enough about his performance and how happy and entertained the kids stayed. I was particularly amazed at how well he was able to "manage" a know-it-all-seen-the-show-know the jokes kid that wasn't playing through. He worked with him and made him part of his show; in a beautiful shivery that showed that kids show business can be hard but it takes the best of them to perform so well.

    Awesome Spider-Man balloons were such a hit for the 4 year old party!

    Jameszini did balloon animals for my son's 4th birthday party, and he was a HIT! He's super professional, very patient and amazing with kids and parents, and he does awesome balloon work. Totally would recommend to anyone looking for an awesome entertainer for parties - Jameszini does not disappoint!!

    The magical JamesZini and the happy birthday girl.

    We had a blast - a room of 6yr olds (and their parents) enjoyed nearly an hour of magic followed by an onslaught of balloon animal requests. James kept going until the very last kiddo got his balloon. The balloons were quite detailed and a variety of requests were made and delivered - the little mermaid and a "ninja" we're popular requests. Fun time!

    James performed at my kids birthday today. He was very courteous and entertaining. Both kids and adults very entertained by his act. He involved the birthday boy in his act and my kid had a blast. After his stage performance he also did a bit of strolling magic with the adults. His tricks there were very adult oriented and I think everyone was left amazed. Highly recommended. PS: I overpaid James accidentally. He messaged me about that and returned the extra money. Kudos to his honesty.

    First off this is a very late review and I'm so sorry James! My sons party was 2/20/2016. James arrived right on time and immediately got to working on balloons for the kids! He made sure he knew who the birthday boy was and got him taken care of first. All the kids crowded him and he handled it very well! He kept them all interested while waiting in line. He didn't just make your typical balloon animals. My son got a green dinosaur(which he loved!). Even the bigger kids got a bow and arrow ( which all the parents thought was really cool). I had tons of compliments about the way James interacted with the kids. He even stayed over the payed hour for kids that kept coming back. The cutest touch was James making me a flower bracelet and giving it to my 3 year old son to give to me. It was the cutest thing! I will always remember the joy on my sons face. Thanks again James! See you next year! ;)

    He's great with kids!!

    One word: AWESOME. There's so many options when it comes to balloon artists but I'm glad I went with JamesZini! James did a wonderful job entertaining the kids as well as the adults! There was nothing he couldn't make. Even stayed late to complete any last minute requests. Would definitely be calling him again for my little one's events :)

    See all

I had a theme and color scheme in mind, and she assured me throughout the planning process that she would be able to duplicate my inspiration photos. And she absolutely did, in fact, surpassed them! Both my daughter and me were extremely happy with the decor for her baby shower, and in fact, we many of our guests commented on how stunning the decor was!

I had a horrible experience, kind of lengthy, but I want to warn others before coming. Ronaldo's dog got out of his area and was barking at me within 1 ft. I was honestly very scared the dog was going to bite me! I had to turn around to calm myself and wait for Ronaldo to remove his dog. Ronaldo was not even apologetic about it, as if it never happened or no big deal! After Ronaldo put his dog away, I continued to look for balloons. I asked if he had more white balloons, he said no. There was only two white balloons and one looked ugly, all stretched out. No big deal, I just chose different colors. When I brought him the balloons that I wanted, he said I can get the two white balloons that they are still good. I told him that I was fine, I chose different colors. Ronaldo continued to say that the white balloons are still good, as if he wanted to argue. I didn't understand why he didn't just let it go, I just said that I didn't like them and I didn't want them. He rolled his eyes, then asked me if I wanted the balloons for tomorrow. I was so confused! I told him that I wanted the balloons for right now. Ronaldo looked frustrated and repeated the same question. I again did not understand why someone would ask me if I want the balloons for tomorrow. So I even said, "what do you mean? I want the balloons for now". Ronaldo said under his breath "oh my god", as if I was dumb and didn't understand. Damn right I didn't understand why someone would ask me if I want the balloons for tomorrow when I said multiple times that I want the balloons for now. So, I stopped him before he continued, and said, "you know what, you can stop, your service has been bad this entire time" and I left to Safeway and got better service by a lady who has joyful! The thing is, I didn't have to stay after the dog incident! I was patient enough even after being scared and Ronaldo did not apologize for his dog's behavior. Yet, I still stayed to support local and small business, and I was in a little rush to get to my mother's celebration. Customer's should not have to endure stressful environments when shopping or be attacked by dogs! I would not recommend anyone to come here and go else where!
