Absolutely Incredible Decor & Professional Service! We hired BoBenny Events for the birthday backdrop, and they delivered an absolutely incredible setup! The shimmer silver backdrop was gorgeous--it was live and created such a stunning movement with the light breeze. Jennifer was top-notch to work with. She was super professional, highly responsive, and went over every single detail thoroughly to ensure we got the perfect outcome. She arrived and completed the setup exactly on time as communicated. What impressed me even more was how creatively she accommodated a last-minute name addition without missing a beat! I will definitely be using BoBenny Events again and highly recommend Jennifer and her team to everyone! read more

Update 8/19: After reading the owner's response below, I want to correct a few statements for anyone considering booking. I paid $250 total -- $75 to Jennifer in advance and $175 directly to the entertainer on the day of the party. I did not pay $175 as stated in her response. I also was never told that I was booking a trainee or that a trainee would arrive without the attire, table/chair setup, or level of service the owner had described. Had that been communicated before I booked, I would have chosen another company. The owner initially acknowledged to me in writing that she had missed my requests and failed to communicate the level of service I was booking. I stand by my original review and unfortunately would not recommend this company based on my experience. Original Post: Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with our experience. We paid $250 for two hours of face painting and balloon twisting for my son's birthday party. On the company's intake form, I specifically selected that we wanted the entertainer to arrive in costume and that she would need to bring her own table. Neither happened. The entertainer arrived in jeans and a gray college sweatshirt with no company attire or costume, and without a table or even a chair for herself. She had only a small tray for her supplies, so I had to find a bench and figure out where to set her up. She was pleasant and the face painting and balloons themselves were fine, but there was very little engagement or presence as a party entertainer. Several guests didn't realize she was the entertainer, and I spent time directing parents and children over to her instead of enjoying my son's party. When I contacted the owner afterward, she initially apologized and acknowledged that she had missed my requests on the intake form and that the communication failure was on her end. She also explained that their artists normally arrive in company attire. I was then told that the person sent to our party was actually a trainee and that trainees do not bring tables, chairs, specific attire, or costumes. This was never disclosed to me before booking. Had I known I was paying $250 for a trainee with a substantially different level of service, I would have chosen one of the other entertainment companies we were considering. I understand that mistakes happen, and the entertainer herself was perfectly nice. My disappointment is with paying for one experience, receiving something very different, and only learning afterward that we had been assigned a trainee. Unfortunately, I would not book with this company again. read more

We had an amazing experience hiring Jen for my daughter's birthday party! From start to finish, communication was easy and seamless. She arrived 10 minutes early and was incredibly professional, friendly, and flexible throughout the event. Our party theme was Zootopia, and I shared photos of Judy and Nick. Jen did an incredible job recreating both characters on my daughter' face, and all the other guests picked their favorite pattern from the booklet. everyone was so impressed with the detail and creativity! My daughter had an absolute blast, and her guests loved it too. There was a line of excited kids waiting to get painted the entire time, and every child walked away smiling. The face painting quickly became one of the highlights of the party. read more

Jennifer , Jennifer is very friendly. She will guide you through the whole process & give you right suggestions based on your budget & the age group that you have at the party. She is very responsive. I booked an entertainer for the 1st time but she was patient. She answered all my questions & concerns. Tasha Tasha came to my party for face painting & ballon twisting. She is so good. Bday girl requested her to make a mermaid which wasn't on her menu but she did that. She was on time, infact 15 min early to do the set up & get started & she was patient with all the kids & did an amazing job. I can't wait to book her again to bring lots n lots of smiles at any party. read more

This is the third time I have used BoBenny events and each time the experience has been great, start to finish. Jennifer's customer service is excellent and so is her communication style. I like that her website has all the information available and once I was ready to book, it was followed with a prompt email. There's no gimics or the obscure "contact me for pricing". Eveything is straight forward. But most importantly, our parties were fun and our guests loved the games and face painting too. Many of the adults at the party commented about how awesome the face painting designs were. read more

BoBenny Events did the balloon arch, backdrop, cake table decor and set up for my children's birthday party. It wasn't an easy one since the theme I requested isn't too popular. But Jenny came up with a cute backdrop design. She is very easy to work and was able to accommodate any requests so had. I would definitely hire BoBenny Events again and utilize more of the services they provide. read more

Really happy with the service provided by Tickle My Face for a Halloween Party in my daughters daycare. Aubury was our artist and she came on time and patiently did the face paint for 15-20 kids. Inquiry was a breeze and I was able to get respond ASAP. Thank you so much and will definitely book them again for our next party :-) read more

Aubury was awesome with games and balloon twisting at my daughters 4th birthday party! She was so patient with a bunch of rambunctious kids. The adults played the games too. I'm not sure who was more excited. Her balloon twisting was as advertised. She even made a repair for the birthday girl and saved us major tears. I found Tickle my Face the Friday before our Sunday party and was so lucky to get premium service. It is worth it to go premium. I did not have a long enough party to add face paintIng but I will be ready next year. Jennifer is also super helpful with planning the games and helping you decide what wIll work for your party. read more

I was looking for a photo booth rental for my daughter's baptism reception. Most of the other vendors that I looked at were out of my price range or the minimum was 3 hours. I came across Tickle My Face and due to the reviews and the price, I decided to contact. Jennifer was really responsive via email. There were a few times that I contacted her when I didn't hear from her but it wasn't like weeks that I wouldn't hear from Jennifer. I only needed the rental for 2 hours and her price was within my price range. You can pick the template that was already set but if you don't see one you like, Jennifer would work with you. She was very accommodating with my vision for the photo template for the baptism. On the day of the baptism, her team member did a wonderful job setting up and helping with the guests take their photos. I had little kids at the reception and he was able to adjust the camera for their height. He was very nice and he did a good job (I'm sorry that I don't remember the name). Afterwards, I got a flash drive with the pictures. We are Mac users so we had a bit of trouble having to unzip the files onto our computer. Still, that was not a big deal for us. Overall, I would definitely book Jennifer again for the photo booth. read more

5 star review is an understatement for the amount of satisfaction I have with their service! Recently we celebrated our Son's 2nd b'day and we went with BoBenny events for photobooth and face painting/balloon twisting. All the children thoroughly enjoyed getting their faces painted and tons of fun with the balloons :). Photobooth was such a hit! Jennifer is a lovely person, she mailed me the pen-drive with all the photobooth pics. I know whom to reach out to when I host a party next time! read more

Jennifer is amazing! She was very patient and communicative with me as I had several questions about her services. She arrived 10 minutes early to our event and was great with the children.

Alana did a great job, both face painting and balloon twisting, for a party. She was patient with the kids and kept them entertained. Also my son wanted a car design that was not in her book, so she looked up the internet and painted it just the way he wanted. Great job!! Highly recommend. read more

I feel very conflicted writing this review, so I will give it 3 stars to be generous. I didn't feel like my service was great or terrible. I thought it was mediocre. I reserved a 2 hour package for face painting and balloon twisting. Jennifer was prompt with replying and confirming everything with me. Aubury came to our party and she was late. I was not notified that she was going to be late. As she was setting up one of my friends noticed and pointed out to me that her paint brushes were not cleaned or prepared yet. She forgot her markers as well, so none of the balloons had faces. We had a bunch of faceless Pikachus and the kids were a little confused by it. Towards the end of the party, my daughter popped her sword and went over to ask for a new one. I watched from afar and saw that she had rolled her eyes making the new sword for my daughter. My daughter is only 3 years old by the way. I thought it was weird that there were no picture book/list of examples for the guests to look at to choose what they wanted, instead they had to look at a list on Aubury's iPhone and there were very limited choices. Aubury was pleasant and kind towards the guests. Her face painting work is good. I would encourage more preparedness and professionalism. I feel that the price is decent and you get what you pay for. read more

Easy to work with. Outstanding work! All the kids loved her. Came on time. Sent a reminder the day before. She was super nice and even tied balloons for the kids. read more
