My original…read moreface painter canceled on me just two hours before my son's birthday party on a Sunday, leaving me in a panic. I quickly opened Yelp and found Enchanted Wonders. The phone rang twice, and Will answered. He was calm, professional, and immediately put me at ease. He placed me on a brief hold, and within moments, he confirmed that Amber was available to help us. I was so relieved! Amber arrived on time and was absolutely wonderful. She is dynamic, talented, and has such a warm demeanor. She created beautiful face paintings for all the kids and even some of the adults! Her skill and patience with each design made the day extra special for everyone. Thanks to Amber and Will, a day that started with stress turned into a fantastic experience. I'm looking forward to hiring Enchanted Wonders again next year--but next time, I'll be giving them more than two hours' notice! Thank you again, Amber and Will, for saving the day!

I reached out to several face painters via this Yelp app with an unusual request. This was no kids…read moreparty. I wanted a couple of faces painted a couple of hours before a Dead of the Dead party. In my home. Three face painters declined. I called and they were very pleasant to deal with. I texted my e-mail address to May. Dan, her husband, sent over a contract requiring half deposit. I completed the contract and requested their Venmo info. They texted that and I paid my deposit- half the cost. In the end there were 6 faces painted and it took 3 hours. I paid the balance via Venmo when the faces were done. Everyone was thrilled with the results. I highly recommend May!!!!

Sandra is extraordinarily talented! Don't believe me? Just take a look at the pictures in the…read moregallery above! Always easy to work with, she's usually as excited about your event as you are. Such a joy to work with her. Her rates are very reasonable considering the quality and breadth of her designs. I mean... she could be an instagram sensation easy if a few influencers grammed her work. She is also very sweet and will always chat with guests as she's doing the designs and make each and everyone feel extra comfortable sitting in the make up chair. She does everything from full face masks, glitter bars, smaller designs. I mean... let me tell you something: Absolutely no reason AT ALL why you wouldn't want her at adult events. In fact, I've used her exclusively for events with 21+ adults. Can't wait to work with her in the future! Pixie Dust is definitely my go to for ANYthing costume make up/ face painting/ on body make up related. Which as an event planner is something to treasure.

My granddaughter Millie who is 3 yr old didn't want anything to do with Santa. He didn't push her at all. She did go up to him when he handed out gifts. Santa read a book to the kids and had their full attention. He was contracted for 30 minutes which was perfect for us and he didn't seem to be rushed to leave which was nice. Santa was impeccably dressed in a smart and clean Santa suit. I think his beard was real. He was one of the best Santa's I've ever seen. I would highly recommend NOVA parties!!! So happy with my Christmas Eve visit from Santa!

I had about 20 kids and one hour for both was enough time. I worked with Carol to set this up and Lyn was our face painter. I can't recall the man who did the balloon work, but he was so good and funny with the kids. I highly recommend Festive Effects for parents looking for ideas for kids gatherings.
