Booked for Birthday party

An extremely pleasant person. Easy to deal with. Came on time just as we had arranged. Was well liked by all guests and did some amazing magic tricks around the pre lunch drinks party and around the tables at the lunch itself. Would definitely book him again and recommend to others. Many thanks.

Booked for Birthday party for kids

The preparation of the party was smooth. And the entertainer Katie contacted me few days before the party to discuss the party plan. Katie arrived early to prepare the party. Then when the kids arrived, she was lovely with them, getting them progressively to know her and get used to her. Then she was able to manage them (18 kids) and all the kids enjoyed a lot the different games, the magic tricks... I recommend Happy Kinder Parties to all parents. Thank you Katie!

Booked for Private party

"Ed entertained guests at my daughters 18th family meal - in a private room in a Chinese restaurant. He was very engaging and funny; with just the right amount of ""cheesy"" banter for the audience. Ed was very accommodating, fitting his act around the courses of the meal so everyone was entertained throughout the evening. Feedback from the family was great - from the oldest at 80 to the youngest at 17 - everyone enjoyed it. He left a special memento with the birthday girl which she will keep forever as a reminder of how special she felt on her birthday. So a big thank you and recommendation from us!! x"
