ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Natallia was early to set up and really took on a completely chaotic 6th…read morebirthday party. Haha. Her prices are fair and absolutely worth the cost. She brings her own set up, and is prepared and ready to go. She is sweet with the kiddos and can work well with time management. I just hired her for my daughter's 6th birthday party at the Westin in Itasca. She did unlimited face painting and was able to accommodate requests, or make recommendations if there was something she wasn't "great" at doing. We had kids washing off one painting after pictures and getting right back in line for something new. The kids even had their arms and hands done as well. She was definitely a HIT and would absolutely recommend her.

The booking process was smooth, the pricing was great, and communication was quick, clear, and very friendly. From the moment Santa arrived, he was kind, funny, respectful, and absolutely wonderful with both kids and adults. Everyone had an amazing time, and the joy he brought to our event was unforgettable. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Around The Town Entertainment to anyone looking to create a magical event. We will definitely be booking again!

They have different magicians/performers and you can choose at different prices and the kind of performance they can do. We have David perform for my 6-yr old son's birthday party and everyone was entertained both adult and children. After the magic performance, he did the balloon twisting and the kids loved it! He went above and beyond for the party. I will totally use them again for any kids party.

I asked her if she can do Mickey/Minnie on my face & she said she has to see if she has a stencil & didn't. She shows me her tablet that had 15/20 pics & I told her to do flowers. As I was about to sit in her chair, she asked me how much I weighed!? I was dumbfounded & then she said- you can stand! I find that very rude & unprofessional. She also ignored another guest when that guest was trying to talk to her- She literally said excuse me 5 times! She was an ok painter to me & I felt she didn't interact with the kids when she did the face painting & making the balloons. I definitely told my daughter not to hire her again.

LONG REVIEW BUT READ BEFORE CONSIDERING USING THIS COMPANY FOR YOUR EVENT:…read more I should start out with saying I have been in contact with the owner Stacie MULTIPLE times and am left with nothing but frustration. Stacie is not a bad person but I do feel she is completely overwhelmed in running this business. I've been dealing with Funtime Services since April 1st 2025 trying to book a mobile petting zoo for my daughter's first birthday planned for June 2025 and the experience has been frustrating to say the least. Communication has been a major issue throughout the process, especially with Stacie herself since anyone else I did get to talk with couldn't help me in the slightest other than they'll leave a message for Stacie and then I never hear from her UNLESS I were to reach out and call and some how catch her available in office. Getting clear answers or even timely replies to emails has been nearly impossible. After multiple attempts to try and talk to Stacie herself once I did reach her two different phone calls I was turned away with "I'm busy right now doing something else , I can email you once I become available" (mind you then I'd never heard back at all) to which I'd have to reach out again and finally durning one of our last conversation, she provided general information she had to text to me at that moment and discussed two different pricing options for a petting zoo. She explained that she would be reaching out to two separate vendors at different price points. I informed her that I was more interested in the lower-priced option NATURALLY, but made it clear that I would be willing to book either one, as my main priority was securing a petting zoo so I would be waiting to hear back from her regardless who she was able to secure but to just let me know. So money was not the problem. Mind you any time I would voice my frustrations she keep reminding me "I don't make much money off doing this you know, at most I make $20" What should have been a straightforward booking has dragged on for over a month, and I'm still left with uncertainty and decided to not continue "service" with the company FunTime Services Event Rentals. If you're even considering Funtime Services for your event, just be aware that it may take an unreasonable amount of time just to start the process of securing your event. I really expected more professionalism and reliability for catering to such a nice suburban area like Naperville. Just leaving this review to show all what i experienced so anyone else out there knows what entails if interested in booking with them. Seriously proceed with caution.

I want to wish these people well in their new location. The two women owners are awesome, great…read morewith suggestions, honest with recommendations, and take a keen interest in customer satisfaction. We did have a slight mishap though and this is a good reason why when running an event it is important to confirm, confirm, confirm. I had suggested to my wife before our event that we call a few days before and the day of the event to ensure delivery. However we were all very busy and neither of us did. Well on the day of our event, the delivery was late. It appears our worst fears occurred and the drivers missed us. I called a half hour before the end of the window and spoke with Stacie. So it indeed was their mistake she immediately got on the case and stayed in touch with me until everything was corrected. Their prices are fair, they have a great new show room on route 59 which makes it so helpful to see tables and options in person. They also have a great selection and great ideas.I give a strong recommendation to consider them for your next party. Just make sure you take my advice and confirm your orders as well as your delivery!
