Nick was amazing for my 8-year-old's birthday party. He worked tirelessly to make all the kids what they wanted, sometimes more than once if someone's creation popped! He made kids and adults laugh and had a very comfortable and affable vibe. Highly recommended!

:

Thank you for taking the time to leave a detailed review, Emily. Best wishes to you and yours.

Nick was incredible - very cool, normal dude, not at all clown-y or showman-y - just super, super talented. The kids (boys especially) loved all the unique swords and shields and animals he was able to make. Highly recommend, and will definitely have him at any major function we host!

:

Much appreciated, Vanessa. I'll show this review to my kids when they say otherwise. Ha ha. Wishing you a wonderful 2015!

We booked Nick for our daughter's baptism. Nick was prompt, accommodating, friendly and a real hit with the kids! And he is very talented- his balloon creations are impressive and elaborate. The kids had a blast! And happy kids = happy parents:) I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him!!

:

Happy kids and parents = a happy balloon twister. :) Thank you for your kind response, and for inviting me to your special celebration. Peace

We are hiring Nick for every kids birthday party till they are 20, I was so impressed! He handled all the kids with ease, the kids loved his work, even the adults were impressed! He made the coolest, detailed balloons, he is a true artist! I would highly recommend Nick!

:

I'm flattered, Nicole. You are generous. I appreciate your kind family and friends, and that we created a space together that was natural, fun and supportive of the celebration you planned. I'd be up for at least a few more birthday parties, maybe a dozen or so. :) Peace

Nick was amazing, both the kids and adults were very entertained. I knew he had a good understanding of my children after our first conversation, and felt I could trust that he was going to do a great job. His approach and interaction with the children was perfect. He did not disappoint, and would hire again in a heart beat. Thanks so much!

:

Very kind, Tina. I'm glad the rain held off. :) I look forward to entertaining for you again. Peace

Nick is a gifted balloon artist, and phenomenal with kids! The parents were impressed too! Showed up earlier than expected which is always a plus! I would defineitly recommend Nick to anyone looking to entertain kids or even adults!

Wow, Oommen. Your words are a gift I humbly receive. Thank you. And I am grateful for the almond tiramisu cake, the wonderful spread for lunch, sending me off with gatorade and water, and your generous spirit. Your friends and family were delightful. I love that your mother asked me to make her a colorful hat! :) Peace to you and yours.

FundraiserReviewed on April 12, 2013From Chicago, IL

Everyone loved him!!!!

:

Now, that was a fantastic fundraiser, with live and rocking music, a palm reader beside me (a first), Circus Boy (who provided great variety entertainment and taught me how to make the Hulk out of balloons), and gorgeous dogs walking around, seeking to be adopted. Thank you again for including me.

Birthday Party (Kids)Reviewed on June 24, 2013From Chicago, IL

Nick was great. My son's birthday party was quite a hit with his service. All the kids loved their balloons and he was very good at filling all the requests from the kids. Even the little ones liked their balloons. I would hire him again. Great job!!

:

I appreciate your feedback, Marta, and I'm glad the party was a hit.

School AssemblyReviewed on May 28, 2013From Chicago, IL

Nick created amazing balloon art pieces for our students during a school event. He was very processional, accommodating and talented.

:

Processional is a new response (tongue in cheek). It was a "holy" experience giving balloons to each kid who successfully completed the reading competition at your school. I appreciate the work you put into that event, printing out pictures of balloon sculpture ideas and being so well organized with the different age groups/class rooms who participated. Take care.

Review by Leena S.

Birthday Party (Kids)Reviewed on June 21, 2013From Gary, IN

Nick kept in contact with me and asked what my wants were for the party. He added his expertise opinion, which I thought was great! He was on time, very friendly and I would definitely recommend him for his line of work. He did an excellent job!

:

Well, thank you, Leena. You hosted a fantastic carnival-themed party! I appreciated the collaborative way we planned my portion of the overall entertainment. And thank you for the delicious fried chicken. :)

Nick was right on time and the children loved his balloons they couldn't leave his side.I would definitely hire him again for other events!

Review by Cristina L.

Birthday Party (Kids)Reviewed on August 7, 2013From Chicago, IL

Nick arrived on time and dressed and acted very professional. Nick made some awesome balloons and interacted very well with the kids. The adults even got into the spirit. It was well worth the money and would do it again. Would definately recommend Nick to anybody. I even appreciated the extra 10-15 mins that Nick stook around due to late commers

:

Thanks so much, Cristina. You are blessed with a warm group of friends and family. I appreciate the time to bring balloon joy your way. Peace
