We had a great experience with Mr. O…read more It's so stressful planning a baby first birthday, but he made the entertainment easy. We booked his services about 4 months in advance and choose his GOLD package that included the magic show, walk around magic, ballon twisting, and the MC. We initially met at the venue and I put down a 50% deposit which is reasonable. I asked about the MC duties which the package included. He suggested a separate tip would be appreciated. Initially I thought that a bit strange, but trust me the MC he uses is PHENOMENAL. He has a true "radio voice" and was absolutely fantastic. All this guy must due must be events because the very next week we saw him at a graduation party manning a Photo Booth. Everyone loved the magic. It really puts a finishing touch on the party. The kids loved it. I heard from one of the parents their child was still talking about the show a week later. One thing that caught me completely off guard was the balloon twisting. I thought the poor guy might make a dozen balloons then be ignored. Not true. ADULTS WERE STANDING IN LINE FOR BALLOON TWISTING. Unreal. My friend's kid even took her ballon back to Hilo with her. All on all Mr. O and his pals are a PHENOMENAL value. In fact we spent $500 for a Photo Booth that only a few people used. I'd skip the Photo Booth any day and just book Mr. O

He kept the guests entertained the whole time by going from table to table doing card tricks and kept them mesmerized! I loved the magic! Greg, the Balloon Twister is THE BEST!

I highly recommend them!!!!

DO NOT HIRE NELSON FOR ENTERTAINMENT…read more HIS SERVICES INCLUDES: "GREAT magic show" , music w/ balloon stage decoration, EMCEE, & photography of the event. All for a pretty reasonable price compared to other businesses that are much pricier. Yet, you do get what you pay for. First off, his show is highly inappropriate for a 1st birthday party or any kid event. He purposely grabbed his balls at least 6-8 times during his act and touched his butt. Mind that little children are all gathered sitting Indian style in front of him. Also, during his act he went into the audience and sat on 2 adult laps. He had to walk through the children and never cared to cautiously do so, he just walked right through and expected the child to move out of the way. He had other acts that were PG like the endless string coming out of his mouth and a bird appeared out of thin air but other then that his entire performance was quit amateur. His "MAGIC" was clearly store bought.

All I can say is what the hell?! We hired this guy for my…read morenieces 1st birthday party and it was a total disaster! His act was HIGHLY inappropriate for children and pretty disgusting actually. From the boner gag to the thong in a bag...I was seriously traumatized. On top of that his music was outdated and his speakers sounded like they were about to blow. I honestly could not wait for it to be over! I wouldn't recommend this guy to ANYONE. Don't waste your money on some self centered wannabe entertainer especially if it's supposed to be a memorable night like a child's first birthday

They'll do their best to give you their best and they know how to deliver. If you look at the photos of the things my friends and I got from them, you'll see how great they are! Listen, we're grown adults celebrating our friend's daughter and if your friend tells you to get balloon hats, you get balloon hats. If the daughter tells aunty to get their face painted, we get our face painted. We wanted her to get her monies worth! Also, we sat right next to the table so it wasn't hard to make a request when there was no line. I don't even have kids but we had a fun time with them. I don't know the next time I'll ever need to book them but I do know they will be so worth it.

I'm not one to really write reviews, but I HAVE to give a huge shoutout to Balloon Twisters Hawaii…read more I've seen Balloon Twisters Hawaii a while ago at someone else's party. I loved the magic show and the vibes so they were the first group I thought of and wanted to book for my son's 1st birthday (my husband also loves magic shows so he was stoked we got to book with them). They were literally my one stop shop for MULTIPLE things! We did the party package pro + projector and screen rental. Everything from the inquiry, to the emails, to the payments, AND reminders (because I lose track of time a lot) all were such a smooth process. I'm naturally always anxious and stressed, and want to make sure everything runs smoothly. Sooo much of my anxiety was eased because of Balloon Twisters Hawaii. They were organized, timely, cleaned up after themselves, effectively communicated with my husband and I, AND were such a breath of fresh air with their humor. Our friends and family were all engaged with the entertainment and were loving the variety of options for the balloon twisting. Super happy this all worked out. Will definitely book again in the future!!!!

Since then, I have been seeing his name all over town, and it seems just about everyone on the island has been hiring him to perform at their parties. He does those tricks that make you stand there with your mouth open for 5 minutes. I had a chance to talk to him and I was really impressed. Besides the fact that he made my fork disappear into thin air lol! He has been doing magic since he was 6 and he doesn't just do magic but designs sets and props, and is a total expert on how to dress like Santa which he takes very seriously. He said that it hurts a kids feelings if a Santa looks bad, so he always wants to make sure to be the BEST santa EVER! He also said it isn't that hard, that for $5 you can go to Longs and get what you need that it just takes a little effort. I just thought that was really cool that he cares about kids that much that it makes him mad to see BAD SANTAS lol. He was really upset when he talked about Santas who don't take pride in their appearance and character! I would definitely hire him for my kids party and actually would hire him to consult on any event I did because he knows just about everything there is to know about having an event in Hawaii and the vendors to hire etc. I think he could save you a lot of headaches and a small fortune if you hired him to consult on your event.

Dave and his partner were very welcoming, making jokes to warm up the kids and giving suggestions on balloon colors and tattoo stencils. I would definitely recommend again and they were more affordable than other businesses for what they offer.

I highly recommend Party Time Hawaii for any and all of your future events!…read more I first reached out to Dave about a week before my sons 1st birthday party. I was worried they wouldn't have availability since it was so last minute, but we were able to book with him! His replies were always very fast (within 20 minutes) and he made the booking process so quick and easy. Their prices are very reasonable as well! On the day of the party, they arrived early to set up. We booked them for balloon twisting and airbrush tattoos and all our guests, both children and adults, loved them! Their work was very beautiful and all the kids kept lining back up for more. It was adorable seeing all the tattoos and balloons everywhere! They were so great with the kids and all our guests had so much fun. Dave made my son a Winnie the Pooh balloon and he absolutely loved it. The sweet woman working with Dave (unfortunately I forget her name, my brain was all over the place at the time) made my son a little turtle balloon bracelet and he was obsessed with it! She also asked for my favorite color, and then made me a rose balloon in that color! She actually walked all the way across the room to hand them to us both times. They were both very sweet people! All in all, I'm so happy with this whole experience from beginning to end! Thank you Party Time Hawaii, I highly recommend!

Our guests were completely engaged and impressed by the range of his talent: intimate, up-close magic, an energetic juggling act, a hilarious and captivating hypnosis show, and seamless DJ'ing that kept the vibe going all night. Greg is truly an all-in-one entertainer, which is incredibly rare. You can feel his experience the moment he steps in front of a crowd. Back in the day, he spent five years working the Vegas circuit--and it shows. He hasn't lost a step. His timing, confidence, and ability to read a room are top-tier. Beyond the talent, Greg is just a great human. He brings positive energy, professionalism, and authenticity to everything he does. If you're looking to support local talent while getting world-class entertainment, Greg--aka GG--is your guy. Highly recommended.

Not sure what's her name, but she was an older Caucasian lady. They were there for about 3 hours or so and never once did I see a line to get a balloon. Probably because 1 of many reasons.... 1. I witnessed one of my nephews trying to get a balloon and he had to explain to the lady why he was getting another one. **he should not have to explain to the lady why he needs another balloon. The balloons are unlimited for 3 hours! There wasn't a line. The lady was just sitting there. 2. My friend told me that she had to help my other 5 year old nephew get a balloon because the balloon twister refused to help him since she was unable to make the balloon he wanted. She just so happened to be next to the vendor and heard her tell him to "go get your mommy". Instead of showing him the balloon folder of what she could make, she just refused to make him a balloon. My friend went over to help him pick one from the folder of pictures . **I don't understand why she couldn't just show him the balloon folder to begin with... maybe she just didn't want to deal with him. AGAIN, there was no line. ** 3. My daughter has a whole lot to say about the balloon lady. She kept saying how rude she was... In all honesty, I wasn't going to write a review about the rude balloon twister, but my daughter randomly brought it up again after 1 month. She said "remember that balloon twister lady... she said multiple times that she needs to save her balloons because she has other parties to go to"... **again, THERE WAS NEVER A LINE. She probably saved lots of balloons thanks to the fact that the host had so many vendors!!!! Save your money and go with another balloon twister! Face painter was good!

At the time they had a deal for $365 for any 2 of their services for 2 hours each and I went with the face paint and balloon twisting. I was a little nervous that the quality of service wouldn't be up to par seeing as they were almost half the price of the competition but I wasn't let down. They arrived early to set up and immediately went to work and were cranking out balloons and face paints non stop for 2 hours and the kids kept getting back in line giving them no time to rest. They handled it like champs and I would recommend them to anyone.

We were in corespondence with Kelly who was helpful in getting us the package we needed. We also got a 10 percent discount from Yelp! Kelly was our point person and helped coordinate our timeline. She also was the laision with the band. Before the party, I sent her the script and timeline. On the day of the party, the band showed up to set up at 10a for our 11a party. They said they thought they started at 1030a. I said they started at 11:30 a.m. Kelly (Balloon artist) and face painter came onsite at just about 11a. One major disappointment I had was that the MC refused to facilitate our script. We thought it was farily light and simple, including directions to the bathroom, where the rubbish is, then calling up various people to help facilitate the program and games. Luckily, my sister in law stepped in and did the MCing. The quality of the balloons was excellent, as well as the face painting. The live band was REALLY good, loud, and brought excellent energy to the party. Everyone complimented us on the entertainment. Eddie, the band leader, brought us a screen and projector for our slideshow. It went off without a hitch. The band continued to play until after most of our guests left. Unfortunately when they took their break, most of our guests started leaving. In hindsight, I would have everyone sang happy birthday a little later so people stuck around to hear their second set. Also, I asked the face painter if we could make announcement that they would be closing in 15 minutes and she said no because people will line up for their face painting/balloon. I thought that was the point. But, oh well. Maybe people luckily got their face painted and balloon early. Overall, it was a little disorganized, but it came together and was a nice party.
