The event was made even more special with the awesome face painter and balloon modeller. She was very professional and lots of fun. Will be using this service again as both the children and adults had an amazing time.

Booked for Birthday party for kids

Angela was amazing!! From the moment she arrived she was painting kids faces starting with my daughter and finishing with my brother!! The quality of her artwork was outstanding and I 100% recommend Angela and more than a pretty face. Would happily ask her again for another function.

Booked for Birthday party for kids

Mr twist was absolutely amazing - he worked from start of party until the end constantly . Every child had something made some even two items - crowns / bracelets / flowers / swords and animals . He was absolutely great with children and worth every penny of the cost . Well done Mr Twist you made our 5 year old grandsons party very special .

Booked for Birthday party for kids

Jodie surpassed what I was expecting to be honest. She set up quickly and quietly and started straight away. Her painting was wonderful very intricate and artistic, and really well done. She didn’t stop working her whole booking. When she was finished she quietly tidied up, and didn’t make a fuss about anything the whole way through. I would not have known she was there but for the line of children waiting for her. I would recommend her in a heartbeat and will use her again. Thank you again Jodie.x
