Booked for Birthday party for kids

Clemency was AMAZING. The detail on the face painting was incredible and every single child wanted their face painted. She told us a great system of writing numbers on the children’s hand so they didn’t have to stand and queue but were called when it was their turn (and could enjoy the rest of the party). So many children wanted their faces painted that I wasn’t sure they would get it done but Clemency assured me it would be fine and she managed 29 children in 2 hours! Which I believe may be a record even for her! I would whole heartedly recommend and will 100% be using her incredible service again. Thank you Clemency - you made our daughters party! X

Lucy and Sophie were absolutely fantastic at my daughter’s 3rd birthday party - I would definitely recommend them. Lovely ladies, really professional and extremely helpful as well as making some wonderful balloons and face painting masterpieces! The children at the party all loved it!

Booked for Birthday party for kids

Jodie was fantastic, my daughter was thrilled with her and said she was “the best face painter ever”. As a parent, the face paint seemed to dry quickly, didn’t rub off on everything but washed off easily.

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.
