Review by Berenice L.

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

I hired Nick for my son's birthday party with the challenge of entertaining 2 year olds for a whole hour. He was very honest from the beginning (having few experience with such a young crowd) and was receptive to new ideas. He kept in contact and added his expertise opinion to find the best option that would match our needs. Nick was able to grasp the kids' attention within a few minutes and for the whole time he was with us. He was very patient and kind, accomodating all their personal requests. The kids were amazed by his creations and kept asking for more; still talking about the balloons after a few days. Thanks Nick for dazzling our crowd!

Thank you again for hiring me, and for your thoughtful feedback. That was a fun adventure for me, watching several toddlers quickly begin to trust me and the colorful balloons. One kid is sure to be a twisting prodigy if he so chooses, and the other could easily be my walking advertisement with all the balloon jewelry, butterfly wings, tiara and such. I'm pleased you were dazzled. :) Peace

Nick was on-time and ready to entertain. All the kids had a great time getting balloons made for them. Definitely will recommend Nick to other friends that would require a balloon artist.

There were very engaged family and friends, of all ages, which made for great fun entertaining. The DJ had the room rocking, the kids dancing, and my ears ringing. :) Thank you, Carlos. Let's do it again one day.

Young, energetic, personable and passionate about balloon twisting! This describes Nick in a nutshell. All the guests were raving about how great he was with the kids and it was fun to see him in action. I would HIGHLY recommend him for any party and will definitely use him again in the future. FYI, my personal favorite was the tree with bananas and a monkey.

Much appreciated, Michael. I should give ratings for clients sometimes. Seriously, you were a great host, and thoughtful for getting me water and sending me off with fancy desserts. It was nice to also chat with you a bit before leaving. I wish the best for your family.

Nick was great! He was very personable and totally entertained 20 princesses. Plus the parents were pretty impressed with all the things that he made.

And you were great, as well, Angie. You rescued my shirt from the coffee I spilled! :) I've never been around so many princesses, and it was a joy. Having a face painter and adult princess there worked out quite well, even if the rain spoiled a party in the park. Best to you.

Nick was amazing! He twisted the most creative and unique balloon masterpieces I have ever seen! The children at our event were 100% thrilled with every balloon given. I would highly recommend his talents for ANY event! Thank you!

I'm grateful for your words of praise, Shannon. And it was serendipitous that your event fit within my travel schedule this past weekend. I appreciate your hospitality while I was entertaining. If it works out for your company event next year, please seek to hire me again. Peace

Nick was great- very talented! He was very flexible and accomodating during my son's party. Nick was able to entertain children and adults! Everyone was so impressed! Nick can multitask very well, he was able to interact well with the children while actively creating a special balloon art of choice. The children absolutely loved it! Thank you, Nick B. Collins

Thank you, Bethany. I very much enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere at your party, and enjoyed engaging both the kids and adults. It is particularly special to connect with people while also being the entertainer. And thanks for the yummy parting gifts for my children. Peace

Nick was wonderful. He is energetic and great with kids. He worked the entire party providing exciting balloon creations for at least 20 children without breaking a sweat!! He helped make my daughters 4th birthday a memorable event. I will definitely use his services again!!

I appreciate your kind words and interest in hiring me again. And how do you know I didn't sweat? :) All the best to your family.

Nick was at my twins’ birthday party and he was very artistic and professional. He was excellent with the kids! Some parents commented that he was very fast and skillful. He definitely exceeded my expectations! Two thumbs up for Nick!

Thank you for the review. It was a pleasure making balloons for your two children and guests. I hope to see you guys again in the future, either at the Pumpkin Walk or for another party. Take care, Nick

Nick was great! Not only was he on time, he was actually earlier than I had booked and ended up working out perfectly. I booked nicks for my sons 1st birthday party of 65 guests! Nick was accommodating to any requests and engaged well with both the kids and the adults! Everyone was requesting a special balloon. He made my son a balloon crown & He even made me a nice flower ring at the end, without me even asking! I have recommended Nick to several friends & coworkers already - he was awesome and I would like to have him at another event in the future! Thanks Nick for your amazing work & putting a smile on everyone’s face!

We hired Nick for our wedding this past June. Our hope was to make our wedding as kid-friendly as possible...and the kids LOVED Nick! His designs were incredible - I ran into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle designs that were impeccable! Thank you for being such a wonderful addition to our cocktail hour! (And I hope you and your newly-wedded wife are enjoying married life!)
