Despite that minor hiccup, it all went up hill from there. My daughter originally met spiderman at jump zone months prior and since demanded he be at her birthday. After he showed up he gave her special attention at the front before coming into the party, then he did pictures with her, and then came in to meet her friends. He made her an honorary super hero and have her a mask and cape which was so cute. Then played games for the next 45 minutes and all the kids were so into it, I had to interrupt to ensure we had time for spiderman to sing Happy birthday and cut the cake. He ended with additional photos with all the other kids and my daughter hasn't stopped taking about spiderman since! First time using them because the prior parties at went through a princess company but I must say they did a great job and I will for sure use them again.

Unfortunately, we were disappointed with the entertainment services provided, particularly the…read moreballoon twisting, face painting, and Miss Rachel portion of the program. The "balloon twisting" was not what we expected. The performer brought balloons and inflated one, but there was essentially no balloon twisting or balloon artistry. We actually had to ask that each child be given a balloon. Considering this was an additional expense, I do not feel that the service provided justified the cost, and unfortunately, the children did not seem to enjoy or engage with it. The face-painting service also did not meet our expectations. The performer only brought sticker tattoos and stated that she had not been informed that face painting had also been requested. However, I showed her our booking confirmation, which clearly indicated that both face painting and balloon twisting were included in the booking. Unfortunately, the children did not receive the face-painting service that we had requested and paid for. We were also expecting the Miss Rachel portion to involve an actual performance or at least a more structured and interactive program. This was not what we anticipated, even with the understanding that the performer was a Miss Rachel copycat. We had to suggest that she incorporate Miss Rachel songs into the performance. Another concern was the sound setup. The performer only brought a cellphone to use as a speaker, which was not sufficient for the children to hear the music. We ultimately had to encourage her to connect her phone to our own speaker so that the children could actually hear the music. Overall, unfortunately, a significant portion of the scheduled entertainment felt unstructured and had very little activity happening. There were several periods of downtime, and the children did not appear particularly engaged. Given the additional cost for these entertainment services, we expected a more organized, interactive, and age-appropriate experience, as well as for the services specifically listed in our booking to be provided. I understand that miscommunication can sometimes happen, but in this case, the booking clearly reflected the services we requested. I wanted to provide honest feedback because we were disappointed with the overall quality, execution, and value of the entertainment we received.

What a fun performer. I came across him at the Park Ridge Kiwanis annual pancake breakfast, where…read morehe was doing some entertaining mostly for the kids but definitely for the adults as well. It's through him that I heard of the Central Street Busker Festival that took place the next day and his line was loooong! Most recently, we went to his show last week that the Mt. Prospect Public Library held for spring break. That was very very well attended, with a long line of folks waiting to get in (and that's with all of us registered to attend!), but the show was a lot of fun. He did a little magic, a little comedy, and some fun balloon tricks. This guy has been doing this all his adult life--unless that's also a joke and part of his act--but regardless, he's great at his job. I'm looking forward to seeing him again and my little one having the chance to pick her balloon creation on her own.
