Booked for Birthday party

Brian was absolutely marvellous. He arrived well in advance and was still performing after his 2hr slot. He entertained all our guests who ranged from 5 to 75. They were all amazed and desperately tried to figure how he did his tricks!! Well worth it. Many thanks.

Booked for Corporate Function

We recently hired Connor for a large-ish (100 people) corporate event at a rooftop bar in London. He was amazing! He arrived early and spoke with me (the organiser) for a bit of prep - but as a true professional, he wowed the crowd! There were definitely some stunned faces and jaws on the floor! I would highly recommend him, and we would love to have him entertain our clients again!🎉

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!

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.
