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.

It's not just his talent with super fun and surprising balloon characters but his adaptive nature and outstanding personality, engaging everyone at the parties/events. I would absolutely recommend him for all types of occasions : private or big birthday parties, festivals, block parties, - anywhere there will be children!! He is one less thing at your party you need to worry about because he is a sure thing! Truly, he is a whole family favorite!!

This is a REPOST, as I was threatened with a law suit if I did not remove my original post, which…read morewas soon after my daughters 5th birthday party. I ordered a Dora character, and she was 45 minutes late, when she arrived, her costume was wrinkled and dirty. The children were not engaged by her, and eventually I had to ask her to switch to her magician costume and carry on with that part of the show. Her cd player did not work, but luckily there was a sound system as the venue. It was a HOTT MESS. Then I received a threatening email. I was sorely disappointed, and felt bullied. I wont be removing this one. ...update...there was no trial

I was inquiring about belly dancers and the representative, Clare Ashley was rude and obnoxious!!!…read moreShe didn't provide freindly customer service and she was very short with me because she wanted to get off the phone! She didn't allow me to ask my questions and the website didn't have clear pictures of the belly dancers. She sent me pictures of the belly dancers but assumed it was for my husband and it wasn't even for my husband!! I would not use this service because my inquiry about the service was a terrible experience! The price of $150.00 wasn't reasonable for 15-20 minutes! I don't recommend anyone using this service and doesn't even deserve 1 Star!

From first contact through the big day, the entire experience was seamless and stress-free: * Communication & Planning - Michelle was terrific from start to finish: quick responses, clear menu of options, and thoughtful suggestions to match our vision and budget. * Booking Process - Straightforward online deposit, contract, and details--everything handled smoothly without back-and-forth hassle. * Set-Up & Design - Walking into the venue as she finished was a "wow" moment. The balloon décor looked exactly as pictured--actually better. * Professionalism - Friendly, efficient, and clearly experienced. Arrived on time, worked quickly, and left the space picture-perfect. * Value - décor isn't the cheapest category, but for the quality, customization, and zero stress, pricing felt very reasonable. All in all, Chicago Balloon Twister exceeded expectations and helped make our kid's first birthday look festive without me stressing over decorations or dragging baloons across town. Highly recommended for anyone who wants professional, polished, and fun balloon décor for a special occasion.
