Bianca and Judah were at our daughter's 3rd birthday party and they were amazing. Bianca, was our face painter and her talent can be clearly seen through her paintings. I really wonder how she pulled of painting around 15 kids in 1 and half hr. Even if the requested art is not in her catalog she looked at images on phone and painted. Peppa pig, butterfly, unicorn, lion, tiger, princess painting for my daughter (it was frozen theme party) were some of her paintings which gained lots of appreciation. She is a true talent. Judah was our balloon twister and he was there for an hour. He was very patient and friendly. He was a true entertainer. With friendly budget and great talent, they gave us a wonderful experience and our party couldn't be more fun without them. I definitely would recommend them. read more

Highly recommend creative balloons. They were able to find an artist for me even though I contacted them closer to the event. Andy was great!! He made the cutest balloons with lots of details for the kids. He was very nice I will definitely work with them again. read more

What an amazing entertainment company! 20 kids were captivated for a solid 2 hours with magic, balloons and airbrushed tattoos. Judah had a gift. He reads the crowd of kids and finds the kid who seems a sad and cheers them up... the kid who had a little too much sugar calms them down. He was the toddler whisperer at our event. It allowed all the adults the ability to enjoy ourselves while the kids were occupied. And they had a great time with the events carefully administered by creative entertainment. From booking to the event we had white gloved service and great communication. I can't recommend them enough. Thank you Judah, you helped make a stressful day fun for the parents. read more

This was an awesome magic show! My kids had some deep belly laughs and they're good for the soul! We look forward to booking Judah again for our next bday party! read more

Mr B was awesome! Had a small party and needed a balloon artist, could not have been more pleased.

I had a great experience with Creative Entertainment, I called them a few days before my event looking for a balloon artist, Judah was very helpful and got back to me once he was able to confirm an artist would be available. I booked an hour with the artist for about 20 small kids and it was a hit, the artists name was Marcial and he was very polite, professional and great with the kids. Highly recommend and would definitely use them again in the future. read more

After reading many of the 5 star reviews on Yelp, I was super excited to use this company for my son's 5th birthday party. I was very disappointed when the artist, Daniela, failed to show up for the party. I completely understand mistakes happen and companies are bound to have mix-ups. If I would have been told the truth of what happened and/or been communicated with about the event, my experience and feeling toward this company would be a lot different. My email to the company in response to not showing up for my son's birthday party is below and can be read for further details of what happened. My advice to anyone looking to book Daniela for their next event would be to make sure you are receiving responses to your emails and preferably a phone call. Make sure you get a follow up confirmation a few days before your event. Hi Daniela,  Thank you for reaching out. I would like to start out by saying I completely understand mistakes are inevitable and I understand things are bound to happen at times. I fully grasp the craziness of the season and I am sure you and your company are very overwhelmed. With that said, I believe both you and Creative Entertainment handled the situation on Sunday very poorly. Let's start from the beginning.  I originally reached out through an online inquiry, after calling your company and receiving no answer, on Saturday, October 14th. I received an email from you on Monday, October 16th to which I followed up with an immediate reply/question back within 20 min. I sent an additional question on the same email chain on October 17th. It wasn't until October 23rd that I heard back from you and again I immediately responded with my interest in proceeding to book the event. I received no confirmation of booking until 2 days later on Oct. 25th. I promptly approved the invoice you sent over on that date. At this point, I was already skeptical of your company with the delays in response but I mistakenly assumed you and your company were very busy during the fall/Oct events going on in San Diego. I grew more and more anxious about the booking as the date approached since I received little to no communication from you. The morning of the event, I actually said to my husband that I was not going to be surprised if you forgot about my party since I had not heard from you.  I tried calling you numerous times on Sunday, Nov. 5th. I first tried your phone number listed in the email. Your phone would ring once and go to voicemail and your voicemail was full. After multiple attempts and 40 minutes past the time you were to show up, I called the number to Creative Entertainment. After 3 attempts of being sent directly to voicemail with a full mailbox on this line as well, I finally got through and was able to leave a message. At that time, I received a text message in response to my voicemail stating you had not shown up to the party. The person communicating with me was apologetic, but never once picked up the phone to speak to me. They proceeded to make excuses of being in a "crowded area" and had "bad connection", as if I should be accommodating to whatever situation they were dealing with at the time. Meanwhile, I had a house full of 5-7 year olds who were all beyond excited for a face painter/balloon artist to be at the party. As you are well aware, no accommodation was made for your lack of presence at the party and I had to explain this to the kids.  Although I appreciate you extending the same service to me at no cost in the future, I have no plans to redo my son's 5th birthday party. He will most likely always remember his 5th birthday for the fact that the face painter he was so excited about not making it to his party. I believe this situation could have been handled in a more professional manner all around. You and Creative Entertainment could have easily picked up the phone to give me a call and explain the situation - which I will remind you, neither of you did. Once again, it has taken you a full three business days to reach out after the incident via email. I do not believe you had a scheduling conflict/scheduling situation for my event since I received no communication via email, text message, or phone to discuss the rescheduling. I should have received a new invoice with the correct date and time if I had rescheduled my event. I obviously never spoke to you, verbally or written, to communicate a change of date.  I now firmly believe you are poorly running your company, as well as making up excuses for your mistake instead of being honest and upfront, and I will strongly recommend no one I know book with your company in the future. I would hate for more 5 year olds to be disappointed, just as my son and his friends were on Sunday. I hope you look forward to reading my review on Yelp shortly. read more

Mr B gave such a fun and memorable show for my family on vacation here in San Diego! I wanted to surprise my husband for his bday since he loves magic and Mr B did not disappoint! Our grandkids were enthralled and us adults greatly enjoyed ourselves as well. I would hire him again in an instant! The balloon animals were beyond what I have ever seen before and the magic was great fun too. read more

Hired creative entertainment for my son's 6 years old birthday , the communication is always quick and easy. Andy the balloon artist is AMAZING! He kept all the kids entertained! The balloons he made are super cute ! Will hire again in the future read more

I couldn't be happier or more impressed with Judah and his entertaining abilities. I had 15 kids age 3-6 at my home for a birthday party and Judah's expert skills made my party fun and memorable for everyone. Even the adults were captivated by his totally awesome energy and positive vibes. His magic show is top notch! His balloon art is out of this world - we had light sabers of all different colors, spider-man balloons, airplanes, you name it - he can make it. He's friendly and attentive and super easy to work with. I couldn't be happier with his service. The kids were so enthralled by the magic show. Check out the video I uploaded. We also had a lovely young lady doing face painting and she was so good, that my son who never allows us to touch his face and have never sat for face painting, sat for a full face paint and LOVED it. The kids were so enthralled by the magic show. Check out the video I uploaded. My first goal for having Judah was to keep the kids occupied so that they would all be safe at such a large party. We had 15 kids and 31 adults. Not only was everyone safe and happy, they were entertained the whole time. Thank you Judah for making my event so special and memorable! I wish I could give you 10 STARS! read more

We came across Judah and his crew at FanFest at Petco Park last weekend. Their booth was the most popular of the entire kids area! No surprise why... their balloon animals were simply AMAZING!

Daniela is phenomenal! Her creations are so beautiful and original - she was able to accommodate every request at our four year old's birthday party, including everything from a rainbow unicorn to a lion to a Minecraft character to Pokémon! And she kept the kids organized and orderly, which is probably even more amazing. Best party planning decision ever read more

Judah made our party fantastic! I hired him for the advanced balloon making (my personal wish!) and magic show. He is amazing at making balloons (made Elsa, a cute monkey complete with palm tree and banana, etc)! For the magic show, the kids ranged in age from 2-6yo. The 2yo watched intently but he had the 3-6yo hysterical and so into it. The parents were all laughing and amazed as well. He is a great entertainer and we are so glad we hired him. We all thought he was so much better than the princess we hired for my other daughter's party. My husband was concerned about the price initially but after seeing Judah perform, he said it was definitely well worth it!!!!! Book early!!! read more

Daniela is wonderful! She did face painting for my event and accommodated me on very short notice. She called me back within a few hours and scheduled for my event. She was easy to work with, very professional, and had all her equipment with her. All she needed was a table to work from. Daniela arrived on time and was very friendly with my guests. The kids loved her and she painted beautifully! Thank you Daniela for making my event a success. I would recommend her to anyone! read more

I have booked Creative Entertainment not once, twice , but THREE times. Blanca Fernandez is AMAZING!!! I have nothing but positive things to say about her. Always on time! And you can just tell how passionate she is about what she does. You see it in her face paintings and ballons. AWESOMENESS!!!! I will definitely be booking her again for my next party! read more

Judah is the best! Aside for being patient until all the kids arrived at our party, he makes sure to entertain every guest's request. He is a master of his craft! The kids love him and his show and so as the adults! Thank you, Judah for making my boy's party a blast! read more

We had Judah come out to my son's first birthday party for balloon art and he was the highlight for many of my guests. In 90 minutes, he was able to make several balloon figurines for EACH kid! Towards the end, when he was packing up and ready to leave, one of kids had popped her balloon and was very sad. He took the time to make her another balloon and I thought that was very sweet of him as he was already ready to leave. read more

Thrilled! Daniela was amazing! We hired a face painter for my son's 3rd birthday party. Daniela was fabulous- her work was top notch, she was friendly and great with the kids. Everyone at the party was in line to get work done! I truly can't impress how thrilled I am with the service the company provided. Excellent communication, easy to work with and the end product will be talked about for years. I would definitely hire them again! read more

I went to a friend's son's graduation party. We were blown away by the balloon animals Aaron was making for everyone. He did Hello Kitty, Captain America's shield, Thomas the Train, etc... If you need someone to do balloon animals for a party - I would recommend Aaron who did this party. read more

I give Creative Entertainment five stars and two thumbs up. We hired a balloon artist through Creative Entertainment to make balloon hats and other miscellaneous things for our wedding reception, after everyone had dinner and was dancing. The balloons were a hit with the guests and many people came up to us after the reception and said that the balloons added a special something to the night. The balloon artist who worked our reception was great. He interacted well with the guests and kept everyone happy. Really nice guy. I thought the price of hiring a balloon artist was reasonable, so there's that. All in all, we had a great experience with Creative Entertainment. I recommend using them at your next big event! Definitely a crowd pleaser. read more

Judah Buxton is a true professional. My daughters came home from Corvette Diner with one of his business cards. Both girls were begging to have him come do a birthday party. My wife made contact with him and price and availability were determined. He was very clear about what services he offered and quoted very reasonable prices. Judah showed up to party on time and was the ultimate professional. We had him doing airbrush tattoos and balloons. His balloon making skills are incredible. All of the parents in attendance were scratching their heads, "how did he do that?" Truly an amazing artist. It was a treat being able to socialize with other parents, due to the fact that Judah had this party under control. It was super fun to watch as he entertained the kids as he worked on his masterpieces. I would HIGHLY recommend Judah and his talents to anyone looking for some incredible child party entertainment. read more

I took my son to a friend's party where Aaron was working his magic. Of course my kid has to be the one that ordered some obscure Pikachu character. I told him to just make a bee. His response? Well we gotta make it awesome, right? Grabbed his phone, looked it up and did just that. read more

I must give it to these wonderful team for working with me despite the last minute changes in location. Judah and his team are highly professional. I was looking for an entertainer for my daughters first birthday party. My fiance and I had dined at Corvette Diner and asked him for his business card. The day of the party I had a set back when we had to change the location. Judah was very accommodating and I was comforted in knowing that it would be taken care of. Sure enough the entertainer was prompt! I didn't happen to catch her name since I was running around like crazy. I felt horrible because my original estimate of kids was 10, Ummm, try 25 kids! Ugh! I hadn't accounted for so many kiddos but she had everything under control. I didn't see kids crying or throwing tantrums. All the opposite, every time I turned the corner I saw a kid with balloon art or their face painted. My daughter just turned a year old so this was more for our guests kids. A couple weeks after the party I kept hearing "Oh, I remember Kylie's party!" and "I had fun at Kylie's Birthday" from all my cousin's children. I am highly pleased with the professionalism and will absolutely hire Judah and his crew. read more

Too bad 10 stars is not an option. I hired Creative Entertainment to provide face painting and balloons for a military holiday party. The artists were dressed SOO SOO CUTE! They were very professional, friendly and we received so many compliments on how great our entertainers were. I will ALWAYS call these guys for any event moving forward. They have earned a client for life with me and I know the military folks and their families were extremely grateful for such amazing art created by Daniela and Judah. Thank you for bringing the holiday cheer! You two are a class act! read more

I hired Creative Entertainment for my daughters 5 th birthday and they were amazing! Not only did he bring an awesome face painter but he worked tirelessly to make sure all the kids got the most advanced balloon art I had ever seen. I originally told him there would be about 20 kids, and when over 40 showed up he didn't complain one time. He worked so fast and efficiently to make sure everyone got a balloon! People have been coming up to me from my daughters school talking about how fantastic the balloon artist and face painter were saying it was the best kid birthday party they had ever been to. They are hands down the best party entertainment company you can ever hire. read more

We hired Judah for our son's 5th birthday party. His first task was to make a Yoda balloon figure, and he did! He amazed and wowed the kids with his balloon creations for an hour. And then the magic show came, and he was funny, engaging, and everyone, including parents, loved the show. We are extremely happy with him and would highly recommend him to anyone else. read more

I contacted Judah (after reading several positive Yelp reviews!) to coordinate a ballooon artist for my sons 4 year old bday. Our experience was consistent with the other reviews in that it was a WONDERFUL and very fun experience for the kids (and grown ups!). Andy was our artist and he had such a nice, gentle yet fun and engaging way about him. And his ballooon skills are amazing! I would definately do it again and highly recommend Judah and his team (especially Andy!) Thanks again, Joanne Lamb read more

Absolutely flawless! We hired Daniela for our client appreciation party and she was spectacular! In addition to being very professional and showing up on time, Daniela set up her station immediately and was painting faces within minutes of arriving. Everyone at the party was impressed by her painting skills! We will definitely be using her services again (in addition to all the moms who said they'll be hiring her for future events). Thank you!! read more

We encountered Creative Entertainment while eating at the Corvette Diner. Of course, we did not have cash to tip the balloon artist, but he said it was not a problem and he was still happy to create balloons for both of my girls!!!

The balloon artist was very pleasant, happy and communicates extremely well with children! read more
