Birthday Party (Kids)Reviewed on August 9, 2017From Naperville, IL

We could not have asked for a better entertainer then Jay Jay for our son's 1st Birthday Party. He was wonderful with the young children (and adults), very professional during the whole process and extremely talented with his balloon creations and creativity. We would highly recommend Jay Jay for any event!

Jay Jay couldn't have been more accommodating and nice to work with. I needed a last-minute replacement for my own balloon twister, and he jumped right in, made me a very reasonable offer, was timely in arrival, had his own tent and promotional materials, worked the crowd for three hours, and left with a smile. He was professional yet fun in appearance, and everyone seemed to like him.

Jay Jay was perfect entertainment for my son’s 4th birthday. The kids loved his balloon twisting talent and they were engaged and truly enjoyed the magic show.

Birthday Party (Kids)Reviewed on May 2, 2012From Chicago, IL

Jay Jay was wonderful! He came dressed as Goofer the clown, as promised & arrived 10 minutes prior to the party, as we had discussed. I had 28 children at my carnival-themed birthday party; the majority of the kids were kindergarteners (6 years old). The kids LOVED him! He painted their faces, did a cute magic show (for their level) and twisted balloons for them. All of the kids got what they wanted. He brought a book of how he could paint their faces & gave them their choice, as he did for the balloon twisting. He did not leave until all of the kids got what they wanted - he stayed 10 minutes late to do this. He was wonderful! I had very happy kids!

Community EventReviewed on August 12, 2015From Hillside, IL

AMAZING TALENT - Jay Jay is a wonderful clown! Our event hosted over 100 children and he was able to face paint and create cute baloon creatures for ALL of them within the alotted time frame. He was able to keep some of the more rambunctious children in line with a firm, but kind tone. His presentation was made complete by a wonderful interactive magic show that held the attention of both the children and parents alike. We definitely plan to have Jay Jay back next year and would highly recommend him for any event!

Corporate FunctionReviewed on May 27, 2016From Matteson, IL

Great! I'd hire JAY JAY again for a corporate or family function. I hired him to entertain (and be a great photo selfie drop) a group of 1000 adults, mostly male, at a corporate event. He was accommodating and funny. His balloon art was great. Thank you Jay Jay!

Birthday Party (Kids)Reviewed on January 2, 2013From Chicago, IL

I hired Jay Jay for our twins 3rd year birthday party. There were about 30 kids. Jay had their attention the whole time, which was 1.5 hrs. My goal was not to have kids running around all over the place and Jay Jay had accomplished it. The kids were occupied by his show. The balloons he twisted were great. The kids went home happy. I also appreciated that he was accommodating. I would hire him again. I would recommend no make up and light costume if you are considering hiring Jay Jay to entertain younger kids toddler age.

Jay Jay was great! He arrived early to my sons birthday party. The magic show was very intertaining for kids and the adults loved it too. The balloon sculptures were awesome all the kids got what they wanted and were very happy. Most importantly my son had a blast on his special day. The kids all wanted Jay Jay to go to their birthday parties too. I highly recommend Jay Jay. Thank you again!!!

Birthday Party (Kids)Reviewed on June 3, 2013From Palatine, IL

Jay Jay performed for an hour at my child's 1st birthday party. He arrived on time and was able to quickly grasp the attention of 12 kids, ages 1-8. He did a half hour of magic followed by a half hour of balloons. He involved all the kids and made sure that each child got a balloon. One child arrived late and he stayed a few minutes extra to make a balloon for him. The balloon making was impressive and I thought this was better than the magic show so I recommend getting balloons over magic. I had a few other parents at the party tell me they've seen several clowns for birthday parties and that Jay Jay is the best. His prices were also very reasonable.

Birthday Party (Kids)Reviewed on July 15, 2013From Palatine, IL

All that mattered to me was that my five year old was entertained. Jay Jay did that, and a whole lot more. My party was small, but the kids were so amused and excited and happy! He included all the kids and made everyone laugh. Literally, EVERYONE was laughing! There are a few members of my family who are, let's just say, hard to entertain, and Jay Jay had them rolling in laughter! His magic was really amazing, I'm still trying to figure it out! And the kids were so happy with the balloons! He really went above and beyond! I would hire him again and again! I would recommend him over and over! Thank you so much Jay Jay!!! We Love You!

Private PartyReviewed on December 16, 2014From Hinsdale, IL

Words can not express the gratitude to Jay Jay's work at our event. One of our event participants wrote this and we feel it says it all. "Our son had access to the tradition of sitting on Santa's lap and discussing Xmas lists. When communication and language are difficult, the simplest of pleasures are a challenge. Not today. A heartfelt thank you for organizing this event for our kids but also for us parents." Without Jay Jay's kindness our children with special needs could not have experienced the joy they did, Thank you.

Overall, jay jay was wonderful! He communicated with me before the party and was very accommodating! He came dressed as a clown to my sons 1st birthday party, he did a magic show and balloon twisting. I had about 20 kids and they all loved him! His balloon twisting skills are excellent! I would highly recommend him to friends and family. Thank you jay jay! The birthday boy was very happy with the birthday balloon hat you mad him!

Birthday Party (Kids)Reviewed on April 8, 2013From Aurora, IL

Jay Jay was fantastic! We unfortunately had a last minute cancellation by a different entertainer (the night before the party!!) We had to scramble to find an alternate and thank goodness Jay Jay was able to accommodate us, for which I am very appreciative. He delighted everyone from kids to parents and even grandma and grandpa! Very warm individual and it definitely shows. Other parents who have hired balloon twisters before were also very complimentary and mentioned he is one of the best they've seen. I would highly recommend him. Thanks Jay Jay!!!

Jay Jay did our son's 5th Birthday Party, and he by far was the best entertainer we have ever had. Not only did the kids enjoy him, but all the adults too! Great personality, very nice and accomodating. All the kids got everything they wanted. Magic show was very entertaining, and the kids loved that he involved them in his acts. We were very pleased with Jay Jay, and would highly reccomend him.

PicnicReviewed on September 23, 2012From Glen Ellyn, IL

Great experience with Jay Jay. Excellent communication between us regarding our block party event, especially on the type of activities he was going to do and for how long given the time alloted (face painting, balloons, and magic). As it turned out, we didn't get to the magic but that was mutually agreed upon as the event progressed and the kids were way into the balloons and face painting. I think we had 5 Spidermans running around by the time he was done! Highly recommend.
