Nancy Jenkins9 Jan 2026

We recommend Lizzies Loonies, who attended our works Children's Christmas party as a face painter. Lizzie showed up dressed as an Elf, which added a delightful festive touch to the event. She interacted wonderfully with each child, ensuring they felt special and engaged. The face painting and glitter tattoos she created were absolutely amazing, showcasing her talent and creativity. I highly recommend Lizzies Loonies.

Everyone loved Yanthia Caricaturist! Such a fun and quirky keepsake! Great attention to detail, thanks for being so accommodating, especially with all the Pokémon you were asked to add to pictures! 100% couldn’t recommend a better addition to any event!

Gitty Adler19 Oct 2019

Lizzy was amazing! She had the children's full attention and they were so happy. Lots of laughter. If I need a balloon modeller again I know who to ask! Would definitely recommend to friends.

Kirsty Badman29 Jun 2019

Clemency was absolutely amazing - the best face painting that I’ve ever seen! The kids were thrilled and needless to say, no one wanted to bath that night!! Clemency was also a pleasure to deal with and I hope to use her again next year.

Booked Bamini for my birthday party after being let down by another face painter at short notice. She was really professional, competitively priced, lovely to have at my party and the face painting was just beautiful. She did around 20 kids & some grown ups in 2 hours and everyone was so pleased & impressed - really made the party special. Would definitely recommend x

Kathleen6 Jul 2018

We were delighted! The kids loved Emma and she kept them entertained so we adults could have a break! I will be recommending Minnie the Clown parties to all my friends, it really made the day so much more fun!

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
