My daughter turned three. So we decided to have a bubble show for the kids through this company, best choice I've ever made .! The female entertainer was extremely nice and out going she made sure all the kids had a turn with the bubble items. She played, danced and face painted all kids. I Couldn't be any happier. I will call Lisa to let her know how satisfying and happy my husband and I were in having them entertain our guess. They have gained a loyal customer.!! :) read more

Create a Kids Party - Nick the entertainer! - Clowns Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This down time is a good time to post a thank you to the businesses that have given us great service this year. So I'm thanking Create a Kids Party. They have provided  performers at several (4) of our events this past year and really every year now. We always talk to Lisa who works hard to accommodate even our smallest request. We appreciate how flexible with the orders and how generous she has been with her time, and her attention to detail. Each year we try to hire something  unique. And she provides us with a wide variety of choices that are always interesting and engaging for the kids. We appreciate Lisa and this company and our longstanding relationship with them. I hope we all make it through the crisis safely and can get back to fun parties - with magic shows, bubbles, face painting and all the other fun stuff. read more

I wouldn't deal with this business again. The booking process itself should have been the red flag to me. They were a bit disorganized with their emails and confirmations but I thought maybe it's the nature of the business. I booked a clown to paint faces and do balloon art, all of my emails had both in the description of the services I would like to book. The clown arrived on time and was good with kids. However, she lacked both skills and supplies. Face painting - not very creative, most boys got snakes and cars and most girls got flowers and butterflies. Before the clown lady showed up, they all wanted different animals or characters on their faces but somehow got talked into those limited choices. The only face painting I personally supervised was my daughter's, she is fascinated with Despicable Me minions and wanted a yellow minion and a purple one on each of her cheeks. If you ever seen those cartoons - they are not very elaborate, just a twinkie shaped character with legs and round eyes. What she go was awful and the paint quality wasn't the best I've seen because it was still wet half hour later. At this point I thought - ok, maybe balloon art will be her forte... Balloon art - she run out of balloons..... and all she made was maybe 3-4 dogs and 3-4 swords. Now, I found it so disorganized and unprofessional that I called the business number to express my disappointment and somewhat panic ( we had 14 kids at the party and all of them wanted something ballooney). I asked the lady in charge if someone perhaps can deliver balloons to us or the clown can make a balloon run - to which she told me that she was supposed to provide the face painting services only and not the balloon art. WHAAAAAT? I asked her to look up my emails where I mention both in my request and after going through my emails, she agreed that they made a mistake and offered a partial refund. I accepted the refund and dismissed the girl early because there was really no point of keeping her - balloons run out ( sorry, but I also highly doubt that she could have made something besides a sword or a dog) and at this point everyone at the party had either a flower, a butterfly, a snake or a car already painted on their face/hand. As far as my experience - it was mediocre. I would not hire or recommend this business. read more

I didn't want to post a negative review considering the act I originally booked showed up and did their job and got tipped well, but the person that runs this organization and is in charge of booking is extremely unprofessional and is the reason for my one star rating. Yes, I paid for one thing, but changed my mind and wanted to go with a different act. When I called Lisa the morning of the party to check if I could make the changes she assured me with total confidence that it was no problem and that what I wanted was still available. I was happy and grateful she could accommodate my needs on a last minute basis. I would've been ok with it if she told me that it was too late but because she assured me that it was absolutely no problem- I was expecting what we agreed upon. After confirming the time slot with me, we hung up. Well, the person I originally booked showed up 5 hrs later completely unaware of the changes I requested. When I called Lisa to find out what happened, she acted like she didn't know what I was talking about and denied the whole thing. That's what really upset me. She kept resending me the receipt of what I paid for, I know what I paid for!!!! What about what we talked about??? Complete denial! So unless it's in writing, Lisa's word doesn't mean anything and you can't count on it . Her lame excuse was she didn't send the right person that day because when she looked in her texts she saw my original text about a quote and a different tentative date (which I never booked/ paid for/and set time for) and assumed that's what we talked about ... are you kidding me?? Why would I book 2 parties for the same child and doesn't she have a system/a calendar where she keeps track of what dates are actually booked and paid for, besides looking at her texts?? We had numerous conversations since my original inquiry and a different date was booked but apparently Lisa doesn't have anyway of keeping track of what people pay for. And why did she confirm the time with me before getting off the phone and how could she be confirming it for a different date that was never booked? Total disaster. I posed a little bit of a challenge for Lisa by making few changes and she failed to address them and take responsibility and even went as far as to blame me for her confusion. As a business manager she's very rude, unorganized and unprofessional. I do not recommend them. read more

I was searching for a cowboy and magician for a good price and tried to compare prices with create a kids party with 7 other competitors.. We'll let me tell you!!! Create a kids party was the best deal that I could find! Spoke with Lisa who was amazing!!! Well I got my cowboy and magician from this company. Both came 10 mins early to set up!!! They were great with the kids too!!! This company have a customer for life!!! Love them! They truly made our party a party!! read more

Create a Kids Party - Love this company!!! - Clowns Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My daughter recently turned 4. This is my 3rd time using this company. We had sweetpea (Michelle) she was wonderful with the kids, as soon as she arrived she got into character, played games with them, did magic. I was extremely happy. Will definitely use them again! read more

Nice service.. they did their best to make all the kids happy will definitely contact them for my daughter upcoming birthday parties.

I wouldn't recommend this agency to anyone , I have used them twice , and am not gonna use them anymore . They are unprofessional and lack respect for their clients . The first time i used them we had a puppet show for my first sons birthday party and we really liked the puppeteer , she was a female i believe her name was Sarah , so for my other sons birthday we wanted to have the same person , I asked Lisa ( form the agency ) specifically and i stressed in my email a lot that we want to have the same girl we had last puppet show in sept , ( Sarah ) and she confirm to me that Sarah is the one who is going to come . On the day of the birthday I was surprised to see a male puppeteer he was ok but not what i expected for a 4 year old birthday party , he was a bit too loud without a clear story line this is very unprofessional I do not recommend this agency to anyone read more

We booked Batman to come for my sons 3rd bday party and it was wonderful! My son was so excited that Batman was there and also were all the kids, he truly entertained them with making balloons and I was able to get a second activity but because we had so many guests I decided I only wanted balloons and for him to take photos and be part of the cake celebration. The entire process was so easy - from booking to Batman appearing. On top of that I loved that I did not need to give him any direction what to do, he just ran with it. My only request was for him to be engaging and entertaining and he definitely went above and beyond. I highly recommend Justin (Batman)! We will def book with this company next year!! Thank you for everything!! read more

Clown Natasha was fantastic! She showed up on time and automatically began entertaining the kids. Too keep the partying going she even played games I didn't request. I would definitely recommend her. True the booking person is very unorganized. You have to be EXTREMELY patient with her...I gave her my payment info over 3 different times over the phone, I was charged twice for a deposit(one of the charges was refunded-no problem-but I had to call), and the day of the party I had to give the payment info again. With that being said... Clown Natasha made my daughters 4th birthday party a huge success! I would suggest using this company but with a heads up on booking. read more

I have known Lisa Thompson for over 10 years , I found her online she has taken care of all my kids birthday party needs . Any character I wanted anything that was required even if it was difficult to organize . Lisa is good at organizing , helpful and affordable . I recommend her completely . read more

Lisa sent us a magician, James, for our daughter's 4th birthday. His magic show was wonderful. He set up a magic castle/tent and looked like a baron. James was also polite and funny. He showed up early for the appointment. That really reduced our anxiety. And it was nice that magician himself contacted us before the event. James performed magic, balloon art, and face (arm) painting. He paid special attention to the birthday girl. We are so happy with their service. Thank you, James and Lisa. The booking process was simple and straightforward. The price is very affordable compared to other agents. I thought that the deposit for only $25 was very generous. read more

I found this business on Google, I called and spoke with Lisa; she was nice and very helpful. I hired them for my twin girls 8th birthday party, when Ashley arrived she connected with the kids right away, she was patient and very enthusiastic, everybody Loved her! My girls kept on thanking me through the party for having her (Ashley). Just wanted to add that prices are reasonable and I was more than happy to tip. Thank you Ashley and Lisa, I will definitely love to have you in other of our parties. read more

The puppet show was amazing! It had all my guest laughing (kids and adults). Highly recommended for anyone looking to hire entertainment for future parties. The puppeteer was very interactive with all the kids. It was great to see everyone smiling and having a good time. Thank you so much!! read more

Never ever go with this business for your party needs. Lisa who answers the phone is very rude and knows nothing about customer service. My sons magician was booked I had already received a receipt from this lady and she later calls me and tells me she has booked our magician for another gig. I don't understand why this lady feels she needs to be such a witch when all I was doing was giving her business and all shes getting in return is a bad review. My advice for all of you yelping is to go with someone else this business will flake on you on a minutes notice. read more

I booked them 2 days before our party for our 3 year old son and couldnt have been happier. I wasnt sure if it would be something that age would appreciate, but our clown/ magician knew just how to engage the kids for the hour. The balloon animals were a nice touch too. Pretty affordable compared to other companies I looked at. Would highly recommend. read more

Not only was Lisa a delight to speak with and book my party, but her performer for my child's birthday party was beyond expectations! THe performer showed up on time and provided constant entertainment to the party. Not only was the performer adorable in their costume, but their happy energy was contagious and kept us all in smiles at the party! We didn't want her to leave! Not to mention the balloon animals, face-painting, and magic were very entertaining! I highly recommend Create A Kids Party to any person who is looking for a delightful, professional party performer!! read more

I booked a clown through Lisa for my circus themed wedding reception and was beyond impressed! All the children (and adults!) at our reception were enchanted and delighted to be entertained by the clown we booked! The performer definitely added the magical and whimsical touch I was looking for and everyone commented on how much they loved this element at the party. All of the kids were highly entertained and got a lot of individual attention-- not to mention lots of awesome animal balloons were had by all! This company is terrific for creating unique & personalized events that will specifically work for you. read more

I just had my sons 4th super hero Birthday party and I had forgotten to get him his all time favorite character "Spider Man"!!! I found Create a Kids Party online two days before and I called. I was so worried about the whole transaction because I had no idea what to accept. The day came and "Spider man" showed up!! It was the most magical moment for my son. From the moment he came, he lit up all the kids faces. They were all drawn to him like flies. He remembered all of the kids names and had them all engaged with all the activities. I was blown away on how amazing he was. I couldn't be happier with the service he provided. My son had the biggest smile on his face the whole time. Also all the parents were so blown away that they couldn't stop asking me how I found the character. They all wanted the card. Forgot to mention that Ben was the entertainer and you bet I will always ask for him. read more

We had a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle (Rich) come out for my son's 3rd birthday at a park. He played games with the kids and they had a lot of fun. Then he did some magic tricks with the kids and my son was Rich's helper with the magic act. I appreciate how Rich was focusing my son as a center of attention, but at the same time he had all the kids engaged with the games and magic act. That was the first half hour. Then the second half hour, Rich left and changed into a clown outfit. He made balloon animals for all the kids. He even made another balloon animal for the kids that popped their balloons. Then he did more magic tricks and again, the kids were engaged and laughing even the older kids that were in upper elementary. Thank you so much Rich! You did an AMAZING JOB! I would definitely hire him again next year and recommend him to my friends. read more

I was very happy with the service from the phone call with Lisa, until Justin left the party. Simple and easy. I called with short notice and they were able to accommodate me. Batman, (Justin) arrived on time and was great with the kids. I will definitely be using them again in the future. read more

I just had my 7th birthday party for my daughter last Saturday and we got Elsa from Frozen theme. She was right on time and she was very professional. She actually stunned my daughter and the rest of the kids! Natasha (Elsa ) she really knew how to entertain the kids and kept them pre-occupied. I'm definitely recommending you guys to my friends. read more

Update. Create a Kids Party responded to me and offered me a free party to make up for our inconvenience. I now realize that they actually contract out their retile show and they had not had a problem with this company before. Life happens, and the fact that they offered to make up the event was very responsible and kind. I will take them up on the offer and then let you know! read more

I made reservations with another company that was horrible! I found "createakidsparty" online, I called and spoke with Lisa and boy was Lisa great she was very sweet, answered all questions I had and made sure I was a happy customer!! I rented the "Adventure Girl" (Dora) for my daughter's 3rd birthday party and the character was AMAZING! Naiomi worked great with the children! The children had a ball and enjoyed the "Adventure Girl". After the Naiomi finished her activities with the kids, she left for a few minutes to change her costume and returned to do face painting for the children. The character had a lot of patience, and handled the kids with respect and care. She was very interactive! I definitely plan on doing more business with this company!! If you are looking for a great person with a big personality ask for Naiomi! You CAN'T go wrong!! read more

I hired create a kids party with one week of my daughters baptism, Lisa was able to find us a tinkerbell (Natasha) and I have to say it was a great and smooth booking, Lisa was very kind. would definitely hire from here for future parties, Tinkerbell (Natasha) did such an incredible job, the kids had a great time, I also have to add that Natasha is an honest person, after a job well done and paid her, she went up to my husband and told him I had over paid her, My husband thought it was the generous tip we had plan to give her for a good job, but I had excessively over paid by mistake.when I noticed my mistake and called, Lisa handled the situation prompyly with a courteous and a swift money return,they were so gracious to resolve the situation, thank you again natasha for giving Bella the time of her life read more

I got on here just to say thank you. our party was fantastic. My son is 3 years old. Pretty hard to keep in one place for too long, but the outdoor bubble show was the perfect choice. Our performer Nick, showed up a little early and set up and the show started on time. He really makes great bubbles and he's funny!Even the big kids had a lot of fun. Great idea to put out a bucket for kids to play with. Again, I was surprised, but even the older kids grabbed wands. It was a great show. Nick clearly loves his job. Highly recommend him. read more

Our superhero party for our 4 yr old was truly super with the Lightening Hero. He came to the party and jumped right in, entertaining the kids and turning it into a really magical experience for them. The kids followed him around and the adults loved it too. Everyone had a great time, especially the birthday boy. Lisa was super helpful and walked me through the process since this was the first time I'd hired anyone for a party like this. I found her professional, helpful and great at putting me at ease. We will definitely refer these guys to our friends and will use them again! read more

Lisa was beyond wonderful! Very polite and she was able to accommodate me with entertainment for my sons party which was the next day! I was extremely grateful as it was less than 24 hours away. Prices were great and our clown Ashley was amazing! Great with the kids & she was energetic from start to finish. I would definitely book again!. read more

This is in response to the 6/3/2018 review by V.C. in Los Angeles. The one-star review given to Create A Kids party was in no way the company's fault. I was the puppeteer on that client's party having to replace the one that was requested who just happens to be my wife who I had trained. I have been a puppeteer for over 20 years performing at schools, libraries and private parties so I figured the client would be happy with my services. Unfortunately do to personal circumstances I had to take her place. This switch was in no way the fault of Create A Kids Party, I solely take the blame. It was a last minute emergency decision which happens from time to time. I have worked with the team at Create A Kids Party for over 15 years and have always admired their professionalism, just look at their past reviews. Their customer care is top-notch which is why I wanted to make sure anyone reading these reviews knows this was in no way their fault. I am extremely sorry for the inconvenience to V.C. read more

Very good and professional service! Ashley was very nice. My daughter loved her, she said, Mommy, don't let her leave without trying my birthday cake. There were around 15 children at our party and they had a blast. Thank you, Create a Kids Party! read more

We ordered a female clown for our daughters welcome baby party and we couldn't have been more pleased. Ashley was a wonderful entertainment for the kids and they loved it. Tons of activities with smiles on the children's faces. Thank you again!!!! read more

Okay Moms/Dads...I have never written a bad review for a business because I always see the good in everything. Please spare your self the embarrassment and book with someone different. I hired a clown to perform at my daughter's 3rd birthday party and she was truly not what we expected. The clown showed up looking very unorganized, dirty, no clown make-up, and no skills at all. In speaking with Lisa at the time of booking - I specifically said what I wanted and her clown did not deliver. The kids were twisting thier own balloon animals because the clown told them that she wasn't experienced and just learned how to twist. The "sweet pea" clown was not able to hold the attention of the children and they were not amused. I called Lisa while the clown was with the children just to kindly express my concern and she wanted to "ARGUE"...wow! My husband was standing there with me and told me to hang up the phone as there was no need to be provoked into a shouting match...WOW! Worst of all...Lisa continued to text message her clown throughout the hour after I expressed my concerns so this caused a MAJOR distraction as well...all around horrible. All of the other adults were disappointed as well and continued to comment on how terrible the clown was and kept asking if I hired her off of "Craigslist"! Parents...keep your money and go elsewhere. You will do better renting a costume and dressing up yourself...no skills needed!!! read more

I hired a train conductor for my sons's 3rd bday party & it was a great highlight to our party. He was ammmmmaaaazing. One of the kids seriously drove him insane but he kept cool n carried on a fabulous show. I worked with this company a few times and they have such great service. Their team is awesome! Lisa is great to work with and is so professional. I will definitely hire them for my next party. read more

I decided on a very last minute small birthday party for my son's 3rd bday at my house on a Sunday. I called Create a kids party that previous Thursday in the early morning and spoke with Lisa. She was able to secure a Spider-man (my son is obsessed with Spidey) to come and entertain the kids. We had Grant as our Spider Man and HE WAS FANTASTIC!!!!! I highly recommend him. He was prompt and had the 7 kids very well entertained! Thanks!!! read more

My best friend used this company for her son's birthday, I believe she had a clown there, and it was fabulous. The kids loved it. Every year I throw one big party for both of my sons all in one day and I make it as fabulous as possible. With that being said I knew I wanted to use the same place to send someone over to entertain the kids. I contacted Lisa who by the way anyone who says she's rude has to be out of their minds, to me she was extremely funny and so down to earth and easy to talk to. I probably talked her ear off too much. I checked out the website and had both kids pick out someone they agreed on and because I love Fairies they chose to have a fairy. Lisa verified everything and the Fairy arrived right on time. As a matter of fact, 10 of the kids had not arrived to the party yet and she offered to wait to start at no charge. She was amazing. She was young and so great with kids. Even the adults wanted to hang around and participate. She did great face painting and played lots of games and my kids are special needs kids and she took the time to make sure they interacted in everything. I can only say great things because its hard to find patient people to work so well with kids and she captured that. I had to call Lisa afterwards and let her know how great it was and I will definitely be calling her this year for our Dr. Suess themed party. Thanks Lisa and our Fairy. Awesome job every time. read more

Hi Lisa, just wanted to say thank you and to let you know that our Chase was the best! My son and his friends had the best time ever! By the end of the party, all the kids were asking him when he was going to have a party again! Thank you for helping to make this Paw Patrol party a great success and an unforgettable event for us! read more

We got a Snow White for my daughter's birthday and she was a very sweet young lady, both her & her costume were so pretty. She was on time and great with kids, they were stuck to her like glue the entire time! She did the most adorable face painting and the balloons were really cute too. She was full of energy and I will be using her again! read more

I booked them for my son's baptism party. The guy who came in as the monkey was the best. He was 10 min early and ready to go. My so danced with him and had the best time of his life. The first 30min he entertained as a monkey and the next 30 min he dressed as a clown and entertained the kids with balloons and other activities. It was great and I would definitely book them again. read more
