We don't like this service, WE LOVE IT! This review is long overdue. Michael did an outstanding job for all three parties! We had a Star Wars theme party for my son's third birthday with Chewy, Vader and Rey the female Jedi (Amanda). We also had a Wonder Woman theme superhero party for my daughter's seventh birthday; and Amanda once again played an excellent role as Wonder Woman! Oh... And the face painting job was amazing!The kids were entertained and the adults even chimed in. The most recent party was our Wig&Stache 40th birthday party with great bartending (Courtney) and photo booth services. Our guests had a great time taking goofy pictures that will be in the history books forever! We highly recommend Michael services! If you want your guests to have a great time and you get to sit back and enjoy your party while everyone's being entertained... Michael is your guy! Good job guys! read more

Never again am I going with another company other than Michael Paul's entertainment.

Sadly for some reason I chose another company this year with my daughters party and was totally let down and got a last minute cancellation!!!!! If anyone wants that businesses name just dm to completely avoid! But just wanted to show my appreciation for this company...thank u!!!! read more

Both Cinderella and Belle were soooo pretty and looked very similar to the real ones :) Face painting and balloons were a hit. Both princesses were very open to whatever i wanted to do next and they never seemed rushed. I can only speak for these two princesses though, which i specifically requested based on yelp pictures :) read more

Amazing! Working with Michael before my daughters birthday party was super easy. Quick response time, professional, and informative. Michael sent 2 wonderful girls to our birthday party. They were soo friendly and very good with all the kids there. The skill set was fantastic and all the kids loved the face painting. I would love to work with them again. read more

I was so amazed how well these Ladies performed, stayed in character the absolute entire time. The kids at the party LOVED the princesses just as much as the adults did. I highly recommend purchasing party characters from this company. They were worth every penny spent. Thank you so much for going above and beyond for my twins first birthday party. You guys really made this day memorable. read more

Absolutely loved the princesses I got from Michael! They were very patient with the kids and danced, played games, painted faces, and did balloons. Michael is very good at keeping in touch and has great customer service. The price was great and not bad at all. Paid 225 for Ariel and Moana for 2 hrs. Thank you Michael! read more

If anyone if scrolling through the reviews hesitant if they should use this company, just stop! The answer is YES!!! Our daughter just had her princess birthday party. We had Elsa, Ariel, and Belle come. They were AMAZING!!!! I highly recommend this company and will use them again in the future. read more

I hired Michael and his team for a group of 25 children for face painting and balloon. He gave me a great deal where I could not find a place to beat that price. I only wish he and his partner could have cane dressed a little more professionally for a kids party than jeans and a shirt. But overall, great friendly customer service, great with children, and great with my budget. read more

Ariel and Moana were amazing! It was my daughter's birthday and she was absolutely happy with them. The princesses sang, played games, did balloon twisting and face painting. The princesses were very polite, professional and talented! My daughter, kids and parents loved everything about this service! They are really worth it! Thanks for making my daughter and her 10th birthday special. read more

Mira and her friend were here for my sons first year party face painting and balloon. We had about 8 kids 2-6 year old. They were so friendly and kids loved them. I will be more happier if they had more options in face painting and balloon making. But they provided enough fun for the young age kids. read more

Michael was awesome and did amazing face art on the kiddos! He gives reasonable prices and is a cool guy overall!! Highly recommend these guys read more

You have a right to know how this company operates. Michael doesn't do the work, he sends very young workers (maybe 16 years old, maybe younger, I don't know). These kids do not know what they are doing. He makes you pay a deposit through "friends and family" on Paypal, so there are no taxes to be paid, and no way of disputing it in case they don't show up to your event. We hired a "catering" staff for our wedding that lacked basic serving skills-- they didn't know which direction to pour water from a pitcher, change chafing dishes, or bus tables. They were supposed to come early to set up and get oriented, but they came 15 minutes after the wedding started and left 15 minutes early, even though we paid for that time. Half the staff stood around the kitchen while members of my wedding party started serving other guests. This was completely unprofessional. I sent a message about how unacceptable this was, and I got a canned reply for "$50 off your next booking." Are you kidding me?? THERE WILL BE NO "NEXT BOOKING." read more

I found Michael Pauls through Gigsalad.com while looking for Mal and Evie characters from Disney's Descendants. Michael contacted me within an hour or so with a quote and pictures of Mal and let me know that Evie would have to be designed. He sent me some pictures of what Evie would look like, and I thought for the price quoted and 2 hours of entertainment (face painting, balloon making, dance party, and games) sounded like a great deal. The day of the party, Mal and Evie came on time and they both looked great and acted out the characters very well. I was impressed by the skills of the face-painting (normally at these parties I see terrible work). The balloon making was cute, and the dance party was my kids favorite. My daughter told me that she had the best birthday party ever, so 5 starts for Michael Pauls Entertainment! I will definitely use him again. read more

Totally love their services. They never fail me! This has been my second year and my daughter is always super happy she trully believes in Princess's. Their staff is amazing and do a really good job with the face painting, singing, games and best the part was the balloon figures super creative. I highly recommend it. Won't be disappointed. read more

They were awesome! My son had never had a character at a party for him before and this company set a great precedent! I had read the reviews and read all the negative ones, but still took a leap out (backed with many many prayers), and i am glad i did. First off my son birthday happen to be on the hottest most humid day of the summer, and Michael and his crea came out ready to go! Dressed in a baymax costume taking pictures with the kids, blowing up balloon animals, and doing face painting that was just some body drawing stick figures and calling it face painting. They took their time, paid attention to detail and my son had a blast! He ESPECIALLY loved that Baymax gave him a present before he left (though we had to explain who the flash was lol) he loved every moment of his party. And in the end that is ALL that mattered. My son had a great Hero 6 birthday, for his sixth birthday and he will remember it forever. Thank you for making his day, and making mine super easy by doing basically everything (but the pinata and the cake haha). We WILL be utilizing your services again in the future! God Bless you all! read more

Used them for my daughters party recently. Two girls dressed as Elsa and Anna for two hours. They girls were a little late but very apologetic. Can't beat his price and the kids were absolutely in heaven. I referred him to a few friends already read more

I NEVER take the time to write a review but felt compelled after having such a great experience this past Saturday at my daughters' birthday party. I booked Moana for 2 hours and selected her by a series of photos I had received a few months back. I can't explain how incredibly happy I was with my selection! She was beautiful, wonderful with both of my daughters and their friends and just played the character very well. I also booked a 30 minute magic show which was super cute and entertaining for the kids. I can't recommend Michael Paul's entertainment enough. I also used them last year and was just as happy. Very happy and highly recommend! read more

I recently used Michael face painting, balloon artist, photo booth, magic show and character appearance at my daughters first birthday. All my guest were very pleased with his services. You can't beat the prices. read more

Excellent, Ana and Elsa were excellent, they both accommodated to my needs and daughters, face painting was very professional as well as balloon figures. Well definitely use them again in the future. read more

I used Michael Paul's entertainment for a magic show and photo booth and balloon animals, and it was the best party, and all the guests were so entertained they couldn't stop talking about it for days, I highly recommend them and would use them again, thank you to Michael and his employees. read more

Would highly recommend they are the cheapest price in the area. Michael helped me book the party he was friendly and helpful. The artist was great with the children, she also made balloons for some of the kids that didn't want their faces painted. read more

I have to say that these guys are super amazing. Their work ethics and actual servers were fantastic and spectacular. These servers were top notch and though I only paid $45 per server for three hours, they are worth at least $100.00 per hour. I don't even think my tips were enough. My event and guests were fascinated by such great service. Thanks Michael Paul's!!!!! You are as good as it gets!!!! read more

Supper professional , you won't be disappointed ! Awesome ballon and face painters!!!!! The service provided by the employees really will make your child's party a blast! read more

Big Flop Do Not hire them You will be sorry On April 5, 2012 I asked if he had any Nightmare Before Christmas music for the games. He said I had an mp3 with the music since he was providing Jack and Sally for the costume Party. I said you know there is no electricity at the shelter since it was at a park. He said don't worry it battery operated. I said there will be 40 kids and I hope the character are full of energy and in character mode. This is txting. He then says I am getting bad negative vibes. I am going to send your deposit of 50 dollars. He was canceling. I said we are txting and do not know the tone of my voice and how you are getting bad vibes. He decided to come and not cancel. I have thetxt if anyone wants it. The company pulled into the parking lot at 2:30. This was the time the show should have started. In the contract it was stated they stated they will be there 15 minutes ahead of time to set-up. They started 30 minutes late. I didn't know the owner was there , he never introduced himself. The owner, Michael stood around and was setting up the magic show. I told him there isn't enough room and needs to put it out further which would be in the sun. Michael stated to me he doesn't want to be in the on due he doesn't like the sun. Michael went over to the teenagers (who were my guest) at the party to apply for a job with his company. INAPPROPRIATE They were not organized at the party with the games, the characters and the assistants couldn't organize the games correctly in any fashion or the children, they weren't sure on the games to do and nothing ran smoothly, the jokes in the magician show were kind of racist (baby pictures with Michael Jackson and Justin Bieber), the characters and to top off things about the one and half hour show- the owner, his son who between the age of 10 and 12, and the two characters were helping themselves to the dessert bar without asking or giving an invitation to eat anything. His son has the hardest working person from the whole company. The owner especially kept helping himself. This was a big waste of money and I will not hire them again. No one was impressed. I was ripped off on price for what they did in our contract. His son was the only good person there making the balloons. He deleted my review off the giga salad, I had repost in two more times for it to stay there and wrote to me sarcastically thank you for the great review and God bless you! Then writes we love having customers like you. The truth really hurts. Here is the email back and forth he sent me today read after I wrote a negative review. Read from the the bottom up Re: awesome party! Hide Details FROM: TO: michael acosta Message flagged Sunday, April 8, 2012 9:49 AM well the truth hurts My guests were telling me you guys were grabbing and continued taking the food from the tables without an invitation to do so-- taking a water is one thing You were hired paid help. It is unprofessional telling me you didn't want to be in the sun and asking the teenagers at the party to apply for a job with you I did pay you and this is not how a business runs From: michael acosta projectladybug@hotmail.com To: Sent: Sunday, April 8, 2012 9:43 AM Subject: Re: awesome party!

My partner found this company for a birthday party. I wouldn't hire them again. To be fair, their price is very cheap. Beware, this is a case of you get what you pay for. The kids at our party were young and in general probably didn't care. But trust me, the adults at my party including myself could tell the girls this company hired are definitely not professional. In particular, the balloon twister girl was bad. Almost all the boys got swords and almost all the girls got flowers. I looked around and I think there were a total of about five different balloon shapes(mostly sword, hat, and flowers made up 95% of the balloons floating around). I heard several of my guests comment that this is the worst balloon twister they have seen. I would absolutely agree. That was embarrassing. The balloon twister girl gave the kids two choices in balloons to make. I watched and listened to her. When a boy would come up to her, she would say "do you want a sword or a hat." When it was a girls turn, she asked "do you want a flower or a hat." I noticed a review by Yimo L. on 8/27/17 say something consistent with the lack of options "I will be more happier if they had more options in face painting and balloon making." Again, if you are on a budget and don't care what the adults at the party will think of the quality of the balloon twister, you will probably be content as long as you are not expecting much at all. Just set your expectation very low and you probably won't be disappointed. You could argue as long as the kids are happy, who cares, and you would be right. For very very young kids, they won't care or know any better. The older kids will know better. If you will be having friends/family to the party who are critical people and like to give their opinion, you are guaranteed to get a mouth full of how disappointing the balloon twisting is. read more

I hired these guys for my sons 3rd birthday, we did a Spider Man theme and the kids loved it especially my son, he thought it was actually Spider Man. he even went out of his way to give the kids a life lesson. They were punctual and courteous. Definitely would hire them again for my daughters up coming 6th birthday. read more

I was referred to Michael Paul's Ent. By a friend of mine and I am glad I decided to give them a call! We ordered a princess with some face painting and everyone loved it! Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty was the best and my little girl could not get enough! We will definitely use MPE for our future events! read more

I used them for Iron Man and Captain America. Customer service was great easy to pay via paypal and very responsive. They were good. You could tell the guys were young but they did good. Did not have a lot of games and we filled in but I think they are good and worth it. I am a party planner and have used different companies and will use them again!! read more

Hired this company for my nieces 3 and 6 birthday party. We hired Ariel Mermaid (Sam was the person sent to be Ariel) and an assistant to provide 2 hours of entertainment which would include games, face painting, and balloons. From the beginning the two girls entered the party they had no social skills, non engaging with the children, non talkative, very unprofessional, and when the girls decided it was time for games it was the most awkwardness experience. Ariel was waiting for the children to get in a circle speaking monotone and did not seem in a good mood. If you know anything about teaching or children you would know children need a leader to be assertive, outgoing, and personable specially if you are trying to get them to participate in a group and have a greater outcome. I was offered $50 off. Clearly the owner has no business knowledge money was not an issue it was poor unprofessional services offer that was an issue. What hurts me the most is that my nieces adores Ariel and truly looked forward to their birthday. When my 6th year old niece ran to Ariel when she saw her coming Ariel was standoffish and you could tell my niece was not as happy after that with Ariel. Do not waste time with this company hire someone who truly knows how to provide high quality entertainment. I recommend you ask questions about the entertainers and their social skills before hiring anyone to entertain at your event. read more

Completely recommend this company 100%! This company has amazing workers, who really know what they are doing in multiple areas of work. When it comes to dj'ing, princesses, princes, marvel characters, bar tending, servers, they know what they're doing. I had Michaels company come for a party that I had my work set up, I requested 3 princesses for my coworkers birthday, they painted faces and made balloon animals. Even though we're all adults we still all felt like kids again and had a great time. I also used Michaels company for my sisters sweet sixteen, I requested 4 servers, Michael himself as the dj, and a bartender. The party was seriously popping! Everyone had a great time no disappointment whatsoever with any of the guests. Good music was playing, servers were on it on serving guests left and right. I even had guests ask me what company I used because they were so pleased. ALSO Michael's company is also extremely caring when providing awareness on illnesses. I attended a pediatric cancer awareness fundraiser where there were 5 princesses. They were all so beautiful and friendly! So professional! watching all the children's faces who attended the event light up was the highlight of the day! All the princesses danced with everyone, socialized, and really brought great energy to the event! read more

I recently used this company for a bubble guppies themed party, the costume I wanted wasn't available but I was informed that they could get it but it would cost more and children don't really care for mascot costumes so we went with a guy dressed as the character we wanted. Communication was great and it was a plus that she explained to me the differences and what not of the mascot costume vs costume. The character arrived right on time, the consume wasn't exactly what I thought it would be and looked homemade, he was a bit unorganized but you could tell he was extremely nervous all in all he did an amazing job! My son loved him and he was so sweet! We will most definitely be using this company for future party entertainment! read more

Love them! Highly recommend! I used their photo booth for my 21st and it was the hit of my party. They were professional with the process and when they arrived two of the sweetest men handled everything and I didn't have to worry about anything. It was really cool because when the pictures printed out they were able to cut them in half and I got one strip and the people who took pictures kept another. It's 4 pictures taken and comes with UNLIMITED photo taking which everyone loved!I don't remember my 21st so the only thing I have to remember it by are the photo strips I kept and framed. I will be sure to use them for all my future parties read more
