Booked for Corporate Function

We had the pleasure of having Francesco at our 10-year company anniversary event, and he was an absolute hit! His talent, creativity, and ability to capture each guest’s personality in a fun and lighthearted way made for such a unique experience. Francesco was professional, friendly, and fantastic at engaging with everyone, ensuring each guest walked away with a special keepsake from the night. If you’re looking for a fun and interactive way to elevate your event, I highly recommend him! Thank you for making our milestone celebration even more memorable!

Booked for Wedding

Francesco was fantastic. Our wedding guests loved him so much I don’t think he got a break the whole time! He was engaging well before the event with myself and throughout the day with our friends and family. Everybody that managed to get a picture was delighted with their keepsake. I can’t recommend highly enough. Thank you so much ☺️

Booked for Birthday party

Hi I have received a couple of emails asking me for a review. Unfortunately due to the Covid 19 restrictions our event was cancelled. We are hoping to reschedule in better times. I have paid a deposit & presume this still stands. Kind regards

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.
