I found Nanas on Yelp and decided to try them out for my son's 5th birthday party. I loved the concept, especially since we had a mix of younger and older kids attending. From the very beginning, their communication was excellent--prompt, professional, and easy to work with. They arrived on time and were well-prepared for the event. The variety of bears they offered was impressive, and the kids had so much fun choosing and creating their own. In fact, one of my friends loved the experience and the idea so much that she immediately pre-booked them for her own child's party! Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely recommend Nanas for any kids' event or birthday party. read more

I took a leap of faith with Nana's Bears after coming across a recommendation on social media from a person I didn't know. We had great experience and highly recommend them. They're Build-A-Bear 2.0. The booking process was seamless and Nana is very responsive. Set up and breakdown was fast and easy. Main requirements are space and an outlet to plug in the fluff injector (not sure what the machine is called). They were prompt, efficient and good with kids. For 16-18 kids, it took about an hour to complete all their stuffies. Therefore, the kids weren't languishing in line. The children participated in the process by stepping on a pedal of the machine to inject the fluff into their stuffed animal and inserting a heart at the end, before sealing the stuffed animal. They had a cute selection to choose from and appear to be good quality as all three of our stuffies survived the washing machine and dryer unscathed. We did have an issue with the winged unicorn stuffy which they promptly replaced. No issues with non-winged stuffies. All three of my kids had a magical time and sleep with the unicorns and llama they made with Nana's Bears. read more

I hesitated to choose Nana's Bears for my daughter's birthday party, because there were no Yelp reviews. I am excited that I can now contribute the first one. Coordination was smooth. The women who showed up were polite and good with the kids. We ordered the Bonbon package. Parents were impressed by the quality of the lovies. The kids loved dressing them up. We had a Girl Scout meeting the next day and most of the kids brought the lovies from the day before with them. They were a big hit. Pro tip: each lovie takes 3-5 minutes to make. This is a great substitute for a goodie bag and a great activity, but it will not take up a huge amount of time for all kids. We had the kids color the lovie bag with markers that we had and also had some other craft options. read more

Nana's Bears !!!! I hired Nana's bears for my daughter's 3rd bday party and I am so happy we did. I was looking for something different I did not want to do goodie bags so my husband and I thought this would be a fun activity and gift for the kids. Especially because we had toddlers and teens attending our bday celebration. Well let me tell you that not only the kids enjoyed it so did the adults. Rayana and her daughter did an amazing job. They were on time and set everything up very fast. They were patient with the toddlers. They also have a big selection of stuffies and best of all they are all so cute and great quality. Great communication before the event and during the event. They brought a lot of stuffies and I am glad they did since some adults wanted stuffies as well. Rayana also made sure I was aware of how many stuffies were given and asked if the adults could get stuffies as well. Great energy and everyone left so happy. I highly recommend them. read more

We had a smooth and easy experience working with Nana's Bears! I saw them recommended in a Facebook group and decided to try them out for a large event with kids of all ages. The Nana's Bears team was incredibly responsive and flexible as I sorted through my RSVP estimates and venue logistics. I booked them about 2-3 weeks before my party date and reserving a slot was very easy through their website. On the day of the party, they arrived punctually and had all their own set-up materials (table, table cover, filling machine, tons of different animal options, etc) and took care of everything. All the parents and kids (ages 1-10) had rave reviews about the experience. I love that it serves a double function of both an activity for the kids and a party favor. I felt the cost was pretty reasonable when you compare the effort (time, purchasing, and planning) involved in making traditional favors yourself. You can't go wrong booking with Nana's Bears, their team is also very kind and loving to all the kids. read more
