I am so excited to do this review because I want to share my updated experience I had at my nephew's 5th birthday party this weekend. The theme was Harry Potter and Joe, the balloon artist made the party a smash hit not only with the kids but with the adults too! Everyone was so entertained by the amazing designs that Joe was creating right before our very eyes. Each one was more unique than the last creation. The best part was seeing the kids eyes light up as their request to Joe came to life! Joe was designing cartoon character, animals, swords, superheroes, Disney princesses, Barbie, unicorns, and dinosaurs (my personal favorite). He was up for any request and did not disappoint. He even made a butterfly bracelet, web hanging Spiderman and a Harry Potter headband. Joe has a way with kids- he "speaks their language" and kids walk away with amazing balloon art and huge smiles! I would absolutely recommend Joe for events big and small. Corporate events, holidays, churches, birthdays at any type of event or celebration where you need mass appeal for entertainment, Joe is your man. I was truly impressed with his skill. I want to have a party just so I can entertain my guests! Contact info in photos and quotes available via Yelp! as well. read more

Hello! I am an event coordinator for Malibu Pacific Church. I have hired Joe for multiple large scale events (think 300 kids) and I will continue to hire him because he is amazing. He is incredibly talented and makes the best creations but also he is very kind and personable to each guest. He takes time to kindly connect with people while never skipping a beat to make creations quickly and move people through the line. Even when he has been twisting balloons and making his beautiful creations for 3 hours, he has a kind smile on his face. My own kids absolutely rave about what Joe can make and are excited each time he is at one of our events. You will not be disappointed by Joe, I guarantee it. read more

Joe was AMAZING at my son's 4th birthday party. His menu of what he could make was impressive and he even went out of his way to make special items not on the list. For example, the theme of the party was Paw Patrol and my son loves Rocky so he made him a special Rocky balloon! Even made my baby niece a little rattle and some of the kids a functioning bow and arrow! He is so incredibly talented! Joe was on time, incredibly professional and the highlight of the party for the kids aged 2-13! read more

We were so happy to meet Joe's Party Animals at the Malibu Pacific Church event last night. Joe was so friendly, engaged and patient with each and every kid and family. The balloons were such a highlight of the event!! My daughter carried her balloon candy cane around all night, propped it next to her bed last night and reached for it first thing this morning. Thanks so much, Joe!!! read more

Joe performed at my daughter's 3rd birthday party and he was great! He was personable and professional. He engaged easily with kids and adults alike and delighted everyone with his balloon creations including cars, llamas, hippos, Barbies, crowns, and mermaids!

Would highly recommend Joe! I was looking for a fun way to keep all the kiddos entertained during my nephew's birthday party and I'm very glad I chose balloon animals. Joe was quick to respond to my initial inquiry and booking his services was such a breeze. Joe arrived on time to the party, was professional and great with the kids. I really liked that he had a preset menu so it made it easy for little ones to chose but also was able to accommodate special requests. read more

Joe was amazing. Booking his services was easy. He came right on time to the party and had a very professional set up. He had a sign to show the kids what he could make.

We got so many compliments on Joe's balloon animals and he was great with the kids - highly recommend!!!!

I scheduled Joe pretty last minute as my daughter's pool party turned in to an inside party due to the rain. He came for one hour, killed it for the hour, everyone loved his balloon creations, and he entertained the adults as equally as the kids. Fantastic all around, thank you Joe! read more

Joe is an amazing entertainer for kids and adults! His swirl art cart and balloon twisting such a hit at my kids 6th birthday party. Before the party, Joe was very responsive to all communications and at the party he did an excellent job engaging the kids with conversation about their artwork, favorite colors, and balloon character picks. He drew the crowd to his area and even the parents joined in on the fun! He manages very excited kids well to make sure everyone is in included and has a special turn with creating art and picking balloon characters. As the host of the party, I was able to enjoy what was happening and soak in the wonder and excitement that Joe brought to our party. I recommend Joe's Party Animals and would love to use him again!! read more

Joe came to my son's birthday party yesterday. He was a hit! He worked very hard to entertain the kids. Highly recommend... Thank you, Joe!

Joe is a great entertainer! We hired him for my baby shower earlier this year and he was amazing! Very professional and good at what he does. Both kids and adults loved him. He's super responsive on quotes. Just recommended him to more friends and fam. We will definitely be using him again! read more

Joe was responsive in communication ahead of the party and showed up right on time (a few minutes early to set up). His work was great and the kids were so happy with their balloons. I also appreciated how engaging he was with the kids while they were waiting--telling them little stories about what they were getting or balloons and art--and how he managed the line. I thought one of the kids was going to cry when he left! read more

Was at an event where Joe was twisting balloons today, he was on time, had a great presentation, engaged the children the entire 2 hrs, and made some really fun balloons! I'd say he was the complete package, definitely book early if you want him at your event. Entertainers like him are hard to come by, I've seen many in my line of work! read more

Amazing 5 star service in every aspect! Joe is amazing!!! Everything was so professional from start to finish. The kids loved Joe's energy and humor. It 's always so much help to find someone who can help and interact with kids during a birthday party. It's defiantly a must have for you next gathering. My daughter who turned 3 was so happy at her birthday party and was so glad to see all her friends with balloon animals. And the talent of course is spectacular. Will be seeing joe again soon. :) read more

I hired Joe to make balloon animals for my two year old's birthday party and he was a HIT. He is super talented, works hard, easy to communicate with, and (most importantly) knows how to talk to kids! I got so many compliments throughout the party and I honestly ended up feeling like I got more than my money's worth. He seems to understand kids better than I do and kept everyone happy (and remember there were lots of two year olds). He fixed balloons, made modifications based on what the children wanted, and had really cool balloon equipment - more than your standard belt with balloons. He was fast at making balloons and listened to my request to put the little kids first - and actually went above and beyond because he took the time to explain to the older kids why he was putting the little kids first. He is a super pro and I'm grateful to the yelp-verse for finding him. I def. owe it to YELP-verse to leave my own review of my great experience so that others can hire Joe and have their party be a hit too. At the end of the party, he made the birthday girl a special Minnie Mouse balloon (her fav) and she's still carrying that thing around. Thank you so much Joe. You are amazing and you helped make my little girl feel very special. read more

Joe and his associate made balloons and glitter tattoos for the 20 kids at my daughter's baptism. I can't say enough good things about their work! They were on time, so organized, professional, kind, and had a vast array of designs! And every balloon animal/tattoo was a work of art. All of the mothers at our party were raving about their work. Kids from age 1 to 12 were loving the experience, they could not be pulled away for even a moment. We will be using their services and recommending them continuously for our events. Thank you so so much for making our daughter's day an absolute blast!!! read more

We hired Joe to decorate our Home Inspection Company's booth at a local Realtor Expo based on a Facebook advertisement I'd seen. The theme was Super Heroes and I told him we'd like some Captain America Shields from balloons, but, beyond that, to get creative! Joe arrived on time, got straight to work and knocked it out of the park. Awesome Captain America themed booth that could be seen from anywhere in the Expo hall. We got tons of compliments and won best booth! Thanks again, Joe! read more
