April fools day 2016 is a day I'll never forget, thanks to Wacky Jacks, and my friends that planned this prank! Some friends of mine thought it would be funny to send a man dressed as a police officer to my house and serve me an arrest warrant. As I'm currently serving time on house arrest, for a DUI... When I heard my dog going nuts and I looked out to see what was going on - I saw a police officer standing at my front door, I didn't know what was going on! When I came out side, the man said "I'm here to serve an arrest warrant, are you Ken?" (I nearly fainted) "Yes, I'm Ken." Then he opened up a black binder he was carrying with him. I really thought he was about to pull out a warrant! When he pulled out the paper, he started singing- "April fools is such a great day! Someone got you and but good!.... " I had to sit down, I was shocked! What a perfect prank, it honestly couldn't have been much better, the only thing I can recommend is a body camera. I really wish I could've seen my face! Haha, Wacky Jacks got me sooooo good! Redemption to my friends will be from Wacky Jacks! Thanks for the best prank EVER! I'll be laughing about it for YEARS! (NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PEOPLE WITH HEART PROBLEMS) THANKS AGAIN, KEN B. read more

This was one of the best experiences we've had. I called for a simple singing of Happy Birthday & a few balloons for a coworker. Upon talking to him I ended up ordering a wonderful package for a 19 year olds Birthday. I was beyond excited for him to get to our job to surprise her. I called him one morning with just an idea in my mind,an hour later he returned my call and explained his services and fees to me & I ordered for a few days later for her. His fees are awesome for what he delivers! Her birthday came and at noon when our business was busy as usual he strolled in on time, as promised (and we are pretty far from Pittsburgh) with the huge bouquet of balloons for her and surprised her. Just like I wanted!!!! His skit/routine he did was amazing and had her so embarrassed & giggling. Our entire staff & all our customers were watching & laughing. He was AMAZING! he made her day & mine! More than worth the price! I HIGHLY recommend this company to everyone & always do. Many many if my coworkers have used him. AND he's coming back to our Company today for another employee birthday. A last minute call/delivery. He is THE BEST. read more

This service is WONDERFUL. I took my 7 year old to Pittsburgh last weekend for a birthday getaway, and booked The Works telegram. The "police officer" arrived right on time (I believe this was Keith). Not only did he have the most kid-friendly demeanor I could ask for, not only did he sing a personalized song written for my son using tidbits about him that I'd given them, but my son said after Keith left, "This is the best day ever!" This was at 10 am, and it was already the best day ever. He brought a balloon bouquet, including a big foil #7. He entered the airbnb with such a cute cover story, and while my son was initially befuddled, it was with a smile on his face. He knew something fun was about to happen, he just didn't know what yet. My son jumped up and down and danced in excitement the entire time the song was sung, and happily interacted and joked with the "police officer." We will remember this for years and years and years to come, and I could not be happier that I booked it. Thank you, Wacky Jack's, for starting my son's birthday trip out so fantastically! He's still talking about it! read more

We were in a scramble to find a police officer impersonator for a very dear co-worker who was retiring from our company. I was amazed how difficult it was to find one that didn't strip! Well, it boiled down to us finding Wacky Jack's three days before the party. He could not have been more accommodating; he responded immediately to every text/email/phone call and I had even changed the time on him last minute. We had the party at a restaurant, and when he walked in the door, if I hadn't planned the party, I would have thought he was the real thing! He was phenomenal...he used typical cop catch phrases and could not have played the character any better. He had the retiree in tears, she was laughing so hard. I had so many people approach me afterwards to tell me how incredible he was and how they thought that he was the real deal at first (because the staff wasn't "in" on the surprise). He sang a prepared song to her, stuck around for pictures, was so friendly and funny, in fact, if I could give him 10 stars, I would!! Many thanks!!!!! read more

During a wedding planning time crunch Wacky Jack Balloons came to our rescue. My husband and I were looking for these special 36" ivory colored balloons. Since we live in New York City, we started by emailing and calling every balloon company in the surrounding Pittsburgh area just one week before the event. Keith, the owner of Wacky Jacks was the only person that ever got back to me. He was more than eager to help us. He knew exactly what we were looking for and overnighted the balloons to Pittsburgh just in time to hand deliver them to us. We really appreciate your time and efforts into making our day extra memorable. Three weeks later guests are still asking us where we found those "awesome" balloons! They created a really cool vibe at the country club and looked stunning in our photographs. I would recommend Wacky Jacks 100%. They were extremely helpful, diligent and their balloons were a great quality. We look forward to working with you in the near future! read more

This company did such a WONDERFUL job for me! I've never seen or heard of a singing telegram before, and my sister told me about them, and how she ordered one from Wacky Jacks before and loved their services. Well, let me tell you that I was so impressed and amazed at how they paid attention to detail in writing a song for my husband, that he wondered how the entertainer knew so much about him. We all laughed for hours, and our family is still talking about it a week later. I'm glad I called them, and would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to send a gag or unique gift as I did. They are well deserved of the title Best of The Burgh! read more

My co-workers and i have an ongoing prank war with our manager. After April Fool's, i was trying to think of a way to get him, and get him good. I realized i knew of a way, and we set it into motion. One of my co-workers called Keith and gave him some general information about our manager and his upcoming birthday. Keith had one day to prepare a custom song. He delivered! Our manager was shaking in his skin when this officer showed up during our dinner rush hour, and very convincingly had him believing there were legal papers to be served on him. The song was PERFECT. I have won this war. Thank you, Keith! read more

Wacky Jack's has been amazing and so accommodating with everything that has been going on. I had a big party planned for my daughters first birthday this weekend which we obviously had to cancel. When I called them Keith was so nice and helpful. He put a bunch of cute birthday balloons together and delivered them to my house as soon as we needed them. It was so easy and really helped make our stay at home birthday party much more festive. I will definitely use them again and will recommend to anyone. Thank you Keith and Wacky Jacks we appreciate you! read more

I ordered a singing telegram for Christmas Eve tonight and it was AMAZING! I couldn't believe they would even come out tonight, so I was happy from the start. Everything was top notch from the customer service to the talented entertainer that came to our Christmas party full of people. We had over 200 people at our party and all were asking me who ordered it. Needless to say, I was proud to tell them it was me, and I'd order from them again. Great entertainment all the way! read more

We want to rave about the outstanding actor (police officer) that came out with the singing telegram for our brothers retirement from the Army after 37 years. This was so great and he so thoroughly enjoyed the whole event and the actor was fab. We can not express to you our gratitude for making a special event truly memorable! Anyone contemplating using your services should not hesitate as it will be amazing. Thank you! Ellen, Monika, and Carol the sisters read more

These guys are amazing!! They have incredible customer service, a large selection of balloons at an incredible price, and they are SO FAST. I literally wrote them at 8:00 pm with an urgent request for the next day and they were in the warehouse until 10:30 pm just working to help me with my needs. They had everything I needed and more, and were right on time with the delivery the next day. They are life savers and I can't recommend them enough!! read more

Had a great experience with this company. Sent to my sister-in-laws place of business on her last day before retirement. I asked them to make it loud and from what I understand mission accomplished. Work associates and customers had a great time watching the telegram be delivered. Wacky Jack's was easy to work with - communicated well and delivered beyond expectation. Will use again without hesitation read more

Best customer service!! I ordered balloons for a surprise party and Keith was awesome! I had no ideas in mind and he was very helpful coming up with what I needed. Keith kept in touch with me up to the event, and the before there was a terrible snow storm. It was so bad out but Keith braved the road ways and saved the day! On time and every thing was beautiful! Thank you again! read more

We are in the midst of the coronavirus outbreak of 2020, and our office wanted to send a singing telegram to our coworker because we couldn't celebrate together. Keith was absolutely wonderful to work with. He was so responsive and accommodating. He arrived right on time, balloons in hand, and even took a photo of our unsuspecting recipient for us! Lovely singing voice, too! read more

I surprised my hubby at work with a Singing Telegram Prank! It was awesome! Everyone was in on it at work and it worked out perfectly! I would do this again if my hubby wouldn't suspect. Ordering/scheduling was a super easy. They even do custom songs based on things you tell them. Thank you Wacky Jack's, you made my hubby's birthday unforgettable! read more

I ordered a balloon bouqet for my daughter's birthday. Wacky Jack's was very easy to place the order, and had great communication with me (emailed receipt, etc). And my daugther loved her balloons! I saw a photo of them, and was thrilled with them. And the price was great - much better pricing than flowers and a lot more fun. read more

Wacky Jack's came and surprised one of my managers at work in a busy restaurant. He dressed as a cop, we turned down the music, and he got the entire bar's attention as if something was wrong! She was laughing the whole time... It was a lengthy song, they took pictures together, she loved it! I highly recommend them!! read more

Such a fun way to celebrate an event for someone! I hired Wacky Jack's to deliver a singing telegram for my daughter's birthday while away in college. They arrived right on time, did a great job and sent me a confirmation text afterwards so I knew to contact her. Really reasonable rates. read more
