Everything that I would want from a balloon artist for my kids birthday party. He showed up early, dealt with 25 kids, polite, dressed the part and very friendly! Would recommend him to everyone

Thanks so much for the review. Tremendous client, would definitely work with again. Friendly, communicative, easy to work with and fun.

Cricket was fantastic. We have hired balloon twisters many times before and while the kids always enjoy it. They were blown away by the creativity in Crickets sculptures. My favorite picture from our Spring Fling event is of a little boy as Cricket is handing him a flamingo he made. The pure joy in his smile made my day. Despite the bounce houses and crafts available there was always a line of kids waiting for their own Balloon sculptures. Everyone also enjoyed seeing Cricket on stilts.

Dorothy was a top notch client! Upbeat, cheery, and brought out the best in everyone involved. I would absolutely work with her again. Thanks so much!

Crickett was wonderful. He was on time and made amazing balloons for the kids. He was endlessly patient with them - the kids popped a lot of them! His designs were very good and the color selection was great. I would highly recommend him!

Crickett was an excellent professional if you're looking to hire an entertainer. He was punctual, able to operate independently once the situation was explained and most of all entertaining! Many families stopped to have their pictures taken with him while he was on stilts. What could have been a really boring time of waiting in line turned out to be many memorable family moments because of Crickett. I highly recommend him!

I can't thank Trisha enough for inviting me to this event. From top to bottom it was a fantastically well run event with tons of smiling faces and happy folks in cool costumes. I would not hesitate to attend this event again.

This was our second time having Cricket at a birthday party. We had him for our sons 6th birthday and again for his 10th. My son asked for him by name. He definitely made a big impression on my kids. My son and my 7 year old said "he was the best ever." Cricket cracked jokes while he was preforming and takes it in stride when kids have a hard time being respectful. Parents, you may want to explain to party going kids before the entertainment arrives what heckling and how it can potentially ruin the show for others. We had one child who was a bit obnoxious but even he still had a good time.
:
Thank you for hte wonderful words! And no problem with the heckling kid! I've found the ones who are often the loudest are also the ones that have the best time. It's their way of showing appreciation and it was no problem :) I'd always be happy to come back.

Crickett arrived on-time and ready to perform. Although the events timing was a bit delayed, Crickett was amenable to a few adjustments made to make the event and his appearance flow without worry. The children and parents alike were wowed by his expertise and professionalism. Crickett the Entertainer even danced stilts! On behalf of the HILL family.....thank you very much!!!
:
It was my absolute honor to be a part of such a fun event. I mean, the singer made it impossible NOT to dance! I'm glad you found me and please keep in touch now that things are opening up again.

Crickett was wonderful! We hired him for our company sponsored fundraiser and family event at Bear Chase Brewery. It was the first time our company had this event and didn't know exactly how many kids to expect but he was so patient with every request and had a line the whole night! He had the most amazing balloon art from hanging pandas to rocket launchers to Ariel! Wow, he is so talented! He will definitely be top of the list on every opportunity moving forward! Thanks so much for making our event so enjoyable for everyone!

Thanks so much! This was an exceptionally fun event with really fun folks the whole evening. I’m looking forward to hearing again from a truly 5 star client :)

Captain Crickett did an OUTSTANDING job at my son's pirate themed birthday party. I was amazed at how well he interacted with the children (mostly kindergarten age) and his superhuman ability to hold their attention for the entire show. They laughed and howled throughout the performance (and i could tell the parents enjoyed the show too). Also, i really appreciate that Crickett accommodated a change in my schedule (we had to change our date/time after booking and it was very easy to communicate to with him) and he showed up right on time. Thanks Crickett!!

Everything about this event was incredibly fun! Thank you so much for you kind words.

He kept the kids very entertained.. they loved him and had a great time. He really made the party! He made wonderful balloons for all the guests including adults. He was very patient and nice. My guests were talking and asking about him. I definitely recommend him. Thanks again!

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on March 24, 2019•From Falls Church, VA
Fantastic performer and professional. Hired Crickett for a bday party for an 8 year old. He came with all needed supplies and communicated regularly in days leading up to party. House was FULL, space was tight and kids were rowdy. He put on a fantastic performance nevertheless that included a little bit of everything and entertained everyone, adults too. Age appropriate humor, good group management, lots of exciting juggling, and an overall great personality. Highlight of the party, strongly recommend.

I can't say enough kind things about Eugenia! Truly a fantastic client and I had a great time at the party. Thank you for the great review :)

Thank you so much for the kind praises! Frankly, after my first volunteer stole the show I was afraid I would be replaced! It was a great group of kids and they were all so splendidly spirited. Call me anytime if you have any other events :)

Crickett performed a pirate show for our preschool. He did a fantastic job and the children (and teachers!) truly enjoyed the show! On the administrative side, Crickett was very accommodating and responsive. He was extremely easy to work with. I highly recommend Crickett!

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on July 16, 2018•From Baltimore, MD
Crickett was phenomenal! Everyone--kids and adults--were enraptured by the show, it was hilarious, exciting, fun & surprising. He was timely, warm, professional and very entertaining. His rapport with the kids was especially touching. He did his circus show (juggling, diabalo, fire eating, etc.) and then made balloon animals, which was a perfect combination. The kids were extremely into the show and they eagerly lined up after for their chance to interact with Crickett individually with the balloon creations, and he made some pretty elaborate ones! Many people asked me for his inf, and when I dropped off my son as at school ALL the kids were talking about Crickett.
