Wendi from Power Up Parties was amazing at our daughter's 5th birthday party. Her face-painting was fast and featured a number of really cool designs the kids loved, and her "sparkle queen" show had the assembled kids alternately rapt and laughing! She was also really kind and made a point to help our daughter feel special on our big day. Thank you Wendi! read more

Power Up Parties and our fabulous Rainbow Queen Wendi made our little girl and her friend's double 4th birthday party an amazing success! Wendi kept all 20 kiddos (and their adults) engaged and excited the whole show, with appropriate and fun jokes for the kids and the big people! Her face painting skills were the best I have seen and several kids at the party loved it SO much they refused to wash it off for school the next day. I had parents asking for her contact info the whole party. Professional, communicative, and so so kind. Thank you for making our girls day so special! read more

Wendi is an amazing painter, performer, and overall entertainer. She gave me a wonderful experience of painting my belly when I was 37 weeks pregnant, and it was unforgettable to see my belly come to life in psychadelic color and sparkles. I told her the style I liked and she created a design that matched. I'd hire Wendi for both kids and adult events! read more

Wendi was wonderful! I was looking for someone to do a belly painting and maternity photos for something unique to remember this moment. I was 35 weeks pregnant so I needed to move around a lot, getting up and changing positions, and she was very accommodating. She helped me think through potential designs beforehand and came fully prepared with everything she needed, including a great outfit! The painting and the photos and the experience overall were above and beyond anything I would have expected and she was so fun and considerate the whole time. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in any kind of body painting experience and photos! read more

We hired Power Up Parties for our twins' 6 year birthday party last weekend. Wendi was truly amazing! Her face painting and magic show were a huge hit! The kids were laughing, engaged, dancing, and playing the entire time. She was professional and personable. My daughter is shy in front of groups and prior to the party expressed that she did not want to participate in the show. Once she met Wendi she changed her mind and jumped right up to the stage with her brother to join the act! We loved Wendi and will definitely hire her again. Thank you for making their party a joyous success! read more

Wowwie Wow Wow!!! What an amazing day. Wendi is an amazing entertainer. We had seen her before and we were impressed!!! We were even more impressed when we got to work with her for our son's 6th birthday party. The communication with Power Up Parties and Wendi leading up to the event was timely and productive. She came to the party with energy - which she needed for nearly 40 kids!!! The weather turned drizzly, then rainy, pretty quickly but that didn't phase the Great Wyndini!!! That just made her turn it up a notch and keep the group entertained. I can't recommend her and PUP enough!!! read more

Wendi Is amazing! We had the most incredible birthday party for our daughter on June 11th. She planned and coordinated with us from day one! It was the easiest process from start to finish and her performance did not disappoint! The kids went nuts and loved every second of their time with Wendi.

My friend recommended Power Up Parties to me for my son's birthday party. I'm so glad that she did it. Wendi is fantastic. She is very experienced and covers all details. It was a bit challenging to have a magic show at the venue I chose. It was pretty noisy. Wendi nailed it though. She did the face painting and the magic show for 25 kids! We are talking about 25 kids between 4 and 6 years old. Her show was so fun and all the little kids enjoyed the whole show and interacted with her the whole time. Highly highly recommend them! You won't regret. read more

We had the Great Wendini from Power Up Parties at our daughter's 6th birthday party and it was 100% fun. The magic show and dance party were high energy and the kids were genuinely engaged the entire time. The face-painting situation was also top-notch. The whole experience is by far the best kids-birthday-bonanza party we've ever experienced. We will definitely sign up again and will continue to refer Wendi and Power Up Parties to other parents. read more

Wendy was just wonderful! She called in advance to learn everything about our party. She was well-prepared, came exactly on time, and was super professional. Her show was an instant hit, kids were engaged since the first minute. They were laughing, clapping and cheering through the show. Adults also absolutely loved it thanks Wendy and Power up parties! read more

We hired Power Up Parties after seeing them at another party. We had a fantastic event! Wendy was able to keep 15 4-6year olds engaged for an hour. There was so much laughter and silliness! Highly recommend them. Pre party information and expectations were very clear as well. read more

Where do I start? We went to a birthday party for one of our son's friends at CuriOddyssey @ Coyote Point today. She was so amazing with the kids that they were totally engaged the whole time. BUT...our son is super nervous and scared to do a bunch of stuff. He's 4, so if you have young ones, you know what I mean. At the end, he even got his face painted, and it looked amazing. read more

Wendi was awesome! The face paint was so impressive and the show was great! The kids had an absolute blast!

Wendi came to my son's 4th birthday and she was AMAZING!!! She was funny, kind, and a true entertainer. She had over 30 kids laughing and paying attention for nearly an hour which is quite the feat. Special shout out to her assistant Rosebud too. Aside from being amazing with the kids, Wendi was really a pleasure to work with. From booking and coordinating everything, she was responsive, flexible and accommodating especially with all our weather and location challenges. Wendi-thank you for making our son's birthday such a fun time! read more

Wendi was amazing at the party. I was so glad we had her at my 4 year olds party, almost every guest at my party were asking her contact. We loved her face painting, and how amazingly she tailored the magic show to all the kids at the party. It was big hit!! Thanks so much! read more

Absolutely love Wendi! We've had her come to several birthdays now, as face painter and entertainer. She is such a bright positive spirit, a super talent, and wonderfully reliable! The kids adore her. Can't recommend Power Up Parties enough. I send out her info to all my asking friends. Highly recommended! read more

Wendy was such a great Power Princess! My daughter had a blast and all of her friends and visitors did too. We even attracted the attention of nearby kids at the park and soon had a whole crowd of folks watching Wendy's magic and performance. The parachute was a hit, her face painting was incredibly detailed, and everything was on time, super well thought out, and flawless! I would definitely hire Wendy again for another go! read more

Wendy and Hailey were AH-MAZ-ING. They kept a large group of 4-6 year olds completely rapt in attention for over an hour. They were having so much fun and it made my daughter's birthday oh so special. This morning, my daughter told me that she now knows that magic is really real and she has always had magic inside her. That is an invaluable gift. Also, all the parents were so thrilled with the entertainment and the energy and vibe it brought to the party. Fun, fun fun!!! read more

We had a birthday party for my 4 year old girl who is absolutely obsessed with superheroes and we chose to have Wendi come do facepaint as Rebel Rainbow, a female superhero and it was beyond all our expectations. The face paint was amazing (and after 4 years, I consider myself a connoisseur) and the show was so interactive and engaging for the kids and parents. My girl was feeling a little shy that day and Wendi was so great about getting her comfortable and out of her shell during the show. In terms of logistics, the Power Up team was wonderful. We had a last minute scheduling change and they were so helpful and accommodating. And their tips on how to structure the party worked perfectly. All the parents were asking me for her info after the party so I look forward to seeing her again soon at another birthday! read more

We have used Wendi and her amazing party skills for several years for out daughter's birthday parties (including a deep pandemic era zoom party) and our daughter's cousins have utilized Power Up Parties for several years of birthday parties as well. All were super successes. The other parents at the parties are always raving and asking where we found her. Super fun, positive energy, entertaining show, and truly superb and unique face painting skills. All the stars! read more

Wendi was the best. I cannot recommend her and Power Up Parties enough. They are so responsive, punctual, accommodating & easy to work with. The passion and energy that she brings to the party is off the charts! She is a great artist with face painting, she is so fast and all the kids loved it. The Magic show was a super hit. She kept the kids engaged for over 45 mins. A lot of parents in the party enquired about her and would love to have her be a part of their next celebration. Thanks Power up parties & Wendi for making my son's day so special! read more

PUP made my daughter's rainy-day party a success! Haley engaged all 12 kids from beginning to end. Her face painting skills are amazing! I almost didn't want to wash off my daughter's face, and she did a slew of different designs from unicorns to dragons, fairies the whole nine. I can't recommend this company enough, the process was easy and seamless. If you are looking for a special way to celebrate your kiddos birthday and have all the guests be entertained, choose Power Up Parties! read more

We had Windy at my daughter's 5th birthday party this past weekend. She was amazing! We had about 10 children, averaging age 5 who were all stuck at home all weekend so had a lot of pent up energy. Windy was amazing with them, was able to hold their attention and parents were able to take a step back and enjoy themselves as well. Many of them asked how I found her as they all thought she was great and were interested in calling her for their next party. Windy also utilized the space available very well. She was super sweet and friendly, and I felt comfortable in letting her into my home. She was on time and had the show going at the agreed upon time. She cleaned up after herself and was very sweet with all the kids. The company itself was easy to work with, the whole process was very easy. I feel that their pricing is a fair deal also. Would definitely recommend them to anyone. read more

Holy cow Wendi is so fun. We had a group of kids all ages and as soon as she got there they gravitated right to her ready to play and be entertained. Her play ideas are so inventive and fun and adults can join in too! My son had a really fun birthday especially thanks to Wendi bringing everyone together for fun activities!!! And her face paint is impressive- all our friends who went to art school were really into her colors and designs. read more

I can't recommend the great Wendini magical show enough! Her performance was truly amazing, capturing the attention of +30 kids for more than 1 hour, everyone absolutely loved it, especially my son who has been asking when he can see Wendy again almost every day since. Save you the trouble of any stress and book Wendy for your next kids bday party, you will not be disappointed. read more

We had the utmost pleasure of having Windy visit us last weekend for our Daughter's 7th birthday party to do face painting and her signature magic comedy show. Let me first say that Windy and her company deserve 10 stars! She is amazing. Yelp only allows a maximum of 5 stars so that's all I can give. For the record though she gets 10 stars! We are so happy we chose her to entertain at our party. Windy arrived magically early and brought such great energy with her. As soon as she stepped into our backyard the party was ready to start. Windy is extremely talented. She was able to paint over 10 children with ease. And no details were left out. In a nutshell her work is beyond amazing and you will not be disappointed. The kids loved the great art she put on their faces. The magic comedy show kept everyone including the adults intrigued and laughing throughout. Windy put on a splendid show. When it was all over the children including the adults were very sad that she was leaving. I would recommend Windy to anyone looking for a great performer for their party in a heartbeat. She is punctual, super talented, professional, and your party will be a great one guaranteed. She even stayed later than planned as we had a couple of kids who arrived late to the party. Windy said no problem and got it done. I felt so bad that she was staying longer but she was insistent on painting the kids who had come late. Who does that these days and stays after their planned departure time? Windy, that's who! That was huge and thank you Windy! One other big thing I wanted to mention is Windy is incredibly, incredibly patient. When you have a dozen kids ready to go crazy you have got to have restraint and poise to keep everything under control. Windy possessed both of these traits. Outstanding professional here! Highly, highly recommended. We are already thinking about the next occasion we can invite her back. If you want to have an incredibly smooth party from start to finish and have an even better time than you could ever expect, you've got to contact Wynazz Pizzazz & Co.! read more

This is the second year in a row that we booked Power Up Parties for our daughter's birthday (now 6yo). And once again, we are so happy that we did. Wendi was great about communicating with us in advance of the party to nail down the details. And when weather didn't work in our favor and we had to make some last minute changes, Wendi was super flexible and able to accomodate the new plan. Best of all, my daughter was thrilled, the kids were entertained, and the adults could relax. 100% recommend Power Up Parties for your kid entertainment needs. read more

Could not be happier! Windy was the best!!! The kids had a blast. She kept them dancing and playing and excited and then provided the BEST face paintings on every child! Will be hiring her every year for sure. Affordable and Amazing! read more

Such a great addition to a joint 4-year-old birthday party in early December! The kids (age 4-9) absolutely loved the face painting, which was next-level - very beautiful and intricate. The highlight was the magic show, which kept them ooh'ing, aah'ing, participating and fully entertained for a long time! Thanks for being a part of our special day! - Sarah and Angela read more

Windy Windy Windy! Oh boy was she a treat. We hired her to do a magic show for a 5-year old boy's birthday party with 14-16 kids and she handled it like a champ. She was dressed like a magician and brought a big box of stuff to entertain the kids. She handled the kids extremely well and managed to really focus on the birthday boy which we really appreciated! Her tricks were kid appropriate, and you could see everyone interacting and having a grand time. She was kind enough to stick around after the magic show and make animal balloons for the kids and everyone loved that. I know she also does face paintings if your party is smaller, but since we had a bounce house and a bunch of sugar-hyped 5 year old boys, we passed on that. She was extremely professional, showed up on time, and we just loved having her. A+ Windy!!!! read more

Wendi was truly amazing to work with and handled our son's party with ease! She helped turn a potentially stressful event into a joy that we could also partake in. Highly recommend! read more

BOOK WINDY NOW! Today we celebrated our daughter's 5th birthday. We had a super busy month and took time to decide whether we should keep this year's celebration small or invite all of her friends from preschool. We decided two weeks ago to host a big party.. From the first email to the end of the party the process was so seamless and efficient. All the communication was prompt and clear. We had a quick call with Windy to set up expectations. Windy showed up early to set up and was ready for the show in no time. We planned for the adults to hangout in the kitchen/patio area and have some cocktails while the kids were in the back yard completely mesmerized by the show! The sweetest thing was to hear a group of twenty five year olds cracking up together after one of Windy's acts. Windy's show is built to keep the kids entertained for a pretty long show, what's so smart is that she gives them a movement break after each act to get their energy out. Our daughter had the BEST time and absolutely loved the show and being a part of it! We chose to have Windy also do face paint and it was a huge success as well. As talented Windy in as an entertainer she is as a makeup artist - next level. Windy made sure everyone had a chance to get their face painted. For us the fact that we ran out of Bloody Mary mix says it all ;-)) parents left the party with huge smiles on their faces . read more

This is the second time we've used Power Up Parties and both my daughters' and their friends loved every minute. Even though the oldest remembered some of the magic - when I asked her what her top 6 favorite things about her bday celebration were...PUPs was a part of 4 of them! True MAGIC with an empowering message for all. Even the pre-teens end up participating on the edges and adult laughter is everywhere! Brava to Wendi and her team!!! read more

Wendi was amazing! Kids were continuously entertained for 90 minand still remember her :-) Great team!!

You know you are crushing it when your 5yo screams "Best Day Ever!!" I can't recommend them enough. Wendi and her team are amazing to work with and they put on an amazing show. Wendi's face painting skills are on a new level, her energy is unmatched and had everyone entertained the whole time. All the kids were engaged the whole time and left feeling like they could concur the world with their new super hero powers. I love everything about this company and the positive vibes they spread to the littles. They were super easy to deal with, everything was straight forward and they gave great party planning advice to make everything run smoothly. We can't wait to book them again for future events as they are so diverse and dynamic. read more

We had a great experience with Windy! She was able to accommodate a last minute request, and did an absolutely amazing job with the face paint. Not just small cheek designs but beautiful and professional transformations! read more
