Elva is simply amazing. We had a little hiccup in our invitations causing guests to arrive super late but Elva was completely understanding of the situation. We were embarrassed about the whole thing. Her costumer service is fenomenal, she will answer all your questions promptly. Now for her face paint omg it was wonderful she's fast and does amazing work we couldn't be happier with the art she was able to create so swiftly. Will definitely book her again for our next party. read more

I can't THANK Party Creations owner Elva enough! We were planning my daughter's 4th birthday and decided to hire a face painter. I got in contact with PC and Elva called me back. She let me know that she would not be available but that she had someone in training that could come out and do the face painting. This person was amazing! Everyone was so happy with her work. Thank you Elva for suggesting her! She was AWEWOME! I would hire her over and over again! read more

Elva & Ana were awesome! They kept up with the varied requests from the kids, and were a huge hit with all the guests. Some adults also joined in the fun and got painted by Elva. Thanks ladies! read more

Elva and her helpers were at my 7-year-old sons birthday party this weekend. Both herself and her team were friendly and professional. All the kids loved their face paintings and the children had fun with their sword, flower, dog, and other balloons. It was very convenient to have Elva doing the face paintings and her 2 helpers doing the balloons at the same time. Everything went smoothly and all the kids were happy. Many of my family members and friends got her business card and are going to be using her for their future parties. THANK YOU ELVA AND TEAM FOR EVERYTHING. I WILL BE USING YOUR SERVICES AGAIN IN THE FUTURE!! read more

Thank you Elva for doing an amazing job at my daughter's 1st day! You and your daughter were a hit! The painting and balloon creations were beautiful! Thanks again! I will definitely recommend Party Creations to all my friends and family!! read more

We hired Party Creations for my nephews 1st birthday party!! They did an awesome job!! They quickly got set up and started face painting and making balloons within minutes. The kids were lined up and rowdy but party creations were professional, patient, and efficient!! I loved their work and I will definitely be referring them to friends and family again!! Oh and the price is good too!! So glad I found them :) read more

It's not easy to find good face painters these days. You have a bunch of people who took it up on the side and the end result is obviously amateur. Then you have Elva and her trainees. They are total pros. They do incredibly detailed work, on squirmy kids, with a positive and nice attitude the entire time. We've used Elva twice now- and both times- the parents at our parties have all gone on and on about just how fantastic she is. I especially appreciated this past party when it seemed everyone went straight to her- how she took control of the crowd and got through everyone without a problem. If you are looking for a face painter that you can count on to provide solid high quality work- Elva is the one! read more

Highly recommended. They came on time, they didn't left until they paint all the kids face. 10/10 recommendations. The price is very affordable. read more

We booked Elva for our little girl's birthday party in Sunnyvale, after a referral by my wife's friend and we liked her professionalism and art quality. She engaged kids properly and efficiently used her 1 hr time we put a hard stop on. We had a good number of girl kids and they all loved it! As someone pointed out here its true that its not easy to find good face painters there days and Elva is easily approachable and friendly to talk to. I can happily recommend her for your casual parties. read more

I have used Party creations service for my daughter's 4th birthday party and I must say they are very Professional. They are on time and the designs are really awesome. All my guests loved it. read more

Oh, man! Elva saved me. It was a rainy day, and my plans for a bounce house to entertain the kids for my husband's 40th birthday was obviously not going to happen. Thank goodness for the rain--California needs it. But, hats off to Elva for being available and responding ever so quickly to my inquiry and follow-up questions. We were able to get things arranged within two days. She and her two balloon twisters showed up to the party and kept the kids enthralled. We're talking 2-year-old toddlers. I've never seen kids sit so still to get painted. Elva is so talented and has a way with young ones. The balloon twisters were so awesome. My son kept getting into their bag and re-sorting their colored balloons (i.e., making a mess of their orderliness). She kept saying that he was fine and that she had her own 5-year-old son, so she understood. Then he crumbled a cookie into the pockets of that balloon bag. She just smiled and said that he was fine. We got Elmos, fishing poles with dangling fish, monkeys climbing up palm trees, swords, and an assortment of other balloons. I want to find another excuse to hire her! read more

WoW! Elva with Party Creations is amazing! She did an outstanding job for our National Night Out and Viva Parks event here at the Roosevelt Community Center! We'll defiantly be using her services again! read more

I've known Elva through work for several years --- and she's always displayed a very friendly and customer-service orientated attitude. In planning my daughter's 4th birthday, I immediately thought of Elva & her face-painting/balloon twisting business. What a huge success with both kids & parents. I was most impressed with her work -- loved every design she did & I just wanted to get my own face-painting done -- maybe next time! Would definitely recommend her & hire her & her team again. read more

fabulous! I booked Elva for birthday parties and baptism, and her professionalism is outstanding! Need a face painter, book Party Creations! from this mommy to you, you will be happy you did. read more

Do NOT hire her! She is NOT WORTH it!! I attended a birthday party on 5/5/13 and oh my gosh, I've never seen any unprofessional face painter ever in my life! Not just that but she is not kid-friendly at all! She has a very mean tone when my son told me to make sure I kept the page that has the image he wanted. I thought for a professional, specially a simple image, she should know how to do one if he just told her, like a football or baseball, so I told him not to worry she knew how to do that, but she quickly answer with a very mean tone, no, she needed the image in order to paint it. She has no smile on her face for the whole time, it's like she was forced to be there and worked for FREE. I couldn't believe that the host has to pay her $130 for such a terrible service. All the kids were so afraid of her, she yelled at the kids for a simple touching or leaning on her cardboard display. Besides, I don't know what kind of paint she used but I had a hard time washing them off my son's faces. I even used my make-up remover lotion and it didn't work. He has paint stain on his face as of this morning... Well, I'm sure there are more face painting professionals out there so you don't have to waste your money with this one. Unless you're very desperate!! or want to go with a cheaper one. read more

Thank you Elva for the amazing face painting artwork and your team creating balloon twisted sculptures. When my husband and I began to invite our guests, we told everybody that the kids are going to have a blast with you guys there. I love how engaging you guys are with all the children. You and your team are very patient and kind to the little ones when they were making their request. Thank you again Elva and your team for making our event that much more special when our guests got to take home your balloon sculptures as reminder of our party. read more

We used Elva's face painting service at our company picnic two weeks ago and she was everything awesome as said by other Yelpers. Elva was punctual, pricing was competitve, and was nice to everyone. I thought the pictures on Yelp were impressive, but Elva's work of art is beyond that if you get to see it live. I will use Elva again in the future and meanwhile I strongly recommend her to everyone out there. read more

Elva is very professional and accomodating. Her daughter came to my son's birthday party and really did a good job. We were very satisfied. She created lovely balloon creations and all the children at the party were happy. She listenend patiently to the kids' requests and executed without flaw. I would recommend their service and perhaps use them again if needed. read more

I just had Elva come over this morning for my daughters 6th bday party in Saratoga in a beautiful park and she was fabulous! She came early, set up her table and patiently started the face painting and balloon twisting activities for all the kids. My son has special needs and I wasn't sure he would be able to sit through the face and arm painting--well Elva worked her magic and he sat through the entire session patiently as she calmly reassured him and painted a beautiful image on his arm. Thanks Elva--you made my daughter's party very special! read more

We used Elva for our daughter's 7th birthday and what a great time it was! I first found Party Creations on Craigslist and the read the reviews on Yelp. The were all true! Her son and daughter were also with her and the nicest kids you'll meet! Elva made sure all the party kid's faces were painted before she left. She paints whatever you need. The flower balloon bracelets were a hit!! I recommend her and her lovely family over and over again!! read more
