In order to keep them both happy, we knew that we had to hire not just a princess, but her friendly side kick Olaf. I was thrilled to find this company, which offered a wide range of princesses, including Elsa, along with the snowman. I had no idea Olaf would be so tall! He took it all in stride and Elsa helped him get into my house for my kids' large birthday party. Admittedly, I had low expectations for the performance. But I have to say, Elsa was on point. Not only was she able to manage the many kids, but she kept the show going with interactive games and she had an incredible voice. Olaf was also really good with rolling with the punches. The kids were so excited to see him and he continued to stay in character even if the 5-year-olds were pushing to see him. I had several parents ask for a referral. It was a wonderful addition to our party theme and our kids are still talking about it. I was somewhat reluctant to have a character appearance, but I'm so happy that I did. I could tell our kids felt special in that moment and seeing them smile and jump in delight when they arrived was well worth the money spent.

My brother in law hired him for his son's birthday party yesterday and Louis was great. Very…read morefriendly, engaging, and great with kids. I wouldn't describe him as like a "magician magician" with a cape and all that - he's more of a comedic magician. He does tricks but with this funny spin on them and it's very well executed. What was unexpected though is this guy is absolutely hilarious and had all of us adults in stitches. He has this like upbeat, self-deprecating dry sense of humor when interacting with everyone that was really funny. If you hire this guy make sure that you get all the adults to sit there and watch him as well.

He was very flexible in working with us to get the perfect spot at the club for the show and waiting a few extra minutes for all of the kids to get their ice cream. He even happily accommodated what we thought would be 50 kids that turned into 71! Then the show began! The kids were mesmerized- absolutely enthralled! It was very interactive and all of the kids participated. The show was extremely humorous for both kids and adults. Everyone was laughing and enjoying this fabulous show! We HIGHLY recommend Louis, the magician! Great Show! Great Fun!

Drew Blue Shoes was simply outstanding for our 5 year olds birthday party…read more My daughter is a handful. She was being naughty/silly- grabbing props, but Drew never missed a beat. Drew was engaging from start to finish. He included the crowd/other kids, while making the birthday girl feel special. We highly recommend him and received compliments from other families too.

He also has a very interactive show so kids feel very involved and seen. Well done Drew Blue Shoes you are amazing at what you do and thank you.

I hate to be the first person to review and give a terrible review, but honestly I had a not so…read moregreat experience. I booked a ticket for 2 through the Arlington County Fair website for the mobile escape room. Online the hours for the escape room said 10am-11pm, but there were no specific time slots to reserve (first come, first serve). Based on the hours listed, we arrived at 11am. No one was at the booth at 11am, although it was set up, so we assumed that they were on a break to grab food or in the restroom and had taken all of the cash register items with them. We decided to go on a couple rides and came back to the booth around 11:30 and it was still untouched. We called the number listed on the trailers 3 times before finally getting someone to answer. We were told that the booth hours were actually 12/12:30 for the opening time (??) but someone would be "right over to help us". We waited another hour (past the 12:30 time originally stated) and no one showed up to work the booth. We tried calling again and no one answered the number listed. I'm not sure if the person that was supposed to work that day just up and quit, but there needed to be better communication if that was the case, versus someone ignoring our phone calls and the booth never opening.

To say that Jon Lukehart was amazing to work with would be an understatement. I didn't understand…read morethe importance of a DJ/MC until after I worked with John Lukehart from Black Tie Entertainment. Most people that attended my wedding have said that our DJ/MC (John Lukehart) was awesome/ fun/ impressive. I agree. John Lukehart helped me plan the timeline for my wedding as well as pick awesome songs for a very personalized and fun ceremony and reception. The website that Black Tie Entertainment has for planning the wedding and setting up playlists is phenomenal. It's easy to use and helped me organize the timeline for the wedding. John Lukehart was warm-hearted, extremely charismatic, kept people engaged and excited with each event, kept people dancing all night with awesome music choices, and he made the shoe game so fun. He was great at communicating with us so that even when we were running late, he still lead the ceremony and reception smoothly. I thought that people were being dramatic when they say that your wedding can be the best day of your life. John, you helped make my wedding the best darn wedding I could hope for. Thank you x3000.

We found our DJ through Black Tie Entertainment, and our assigned DJ was Andrew Nelson. One of the…read morethings that really impressed us about Black Tie is that all their DJs go through both DJ and MC training -- and they don't subcontract, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. When you book, you have an initial consultation with someone from their team who asks thoughtful questions about your style and preferences, and then they match you with DJs based on your vision. That's how we were paired with Andrew. Their communication and planning tools were fantastic. They provide an online portal where you and your DJ can both input and update everything from song requests to timeline details. I had several follow-up calls with Andrew to make sure he really understood our vibe -- and on the day of, the energy and music were absolutely perfect. The ceremony went off without a hitch, and once the dancing started, Andrew really shined. His transitions, timing, and song selections for the dance party were spot-on -- the exact fun, high-energy vibe we were hoping for. Our guests were raving about how much fun they had, and the dance floor stayed full the entire time. There were a couple of minor hiccups -- our ceremony ran long, and Andrew needed about an hour to reset for the reception (which we knew beforehand but did not account for), so there was a short delay outdoors in the heat. And there were a few moments of uncertainty for what was happening next -- but honestly, those were small things that only I or the planner would have noticed. From a guest perspective, everything was seamless. Andrew made up for it 100% once the party started, and we couldn't have been happier with how the night ended. If you're looking for a professional, well-trained DJ team with great tools and even better music -- I highly recommend Black Tie Entertainment. They helped bring our wedding to life.
