I need balloon artist

AMAZING!!! Prompt, friendly and very talented. The children loved Julie. She was very patient with the children and some wanted multiple face painting (& arm paintings!!) done and nothing was a problem. I had parents ask for her details as they left. No hesitation to recommend to anyone. Will definitely be using her again.

Chantelle was incredible. All of the children and parents were so happy. Chantelle painted everyone's faces and made sure that every one was painted prior to leaving. Dressed for the occasion as a fairy, our daughter was so happy with the extra effort put into her face painting also. We would highly recommend Chantelle for any event and if required in the future would use again. You will not be disappointed in booking with Chantelle

How to make money with music

What does entertaining include?
Music & dancing
Every event needs music, so why not step things up a notch with live musicians and dancers? Stir emotions with a talented bagpiper, traditional drummers, or a folk guitarist and singer. Or get a DJ to mix some of the latest hits and get the dance floor going. Impress guests at your restaurant or party and hire belly dancers to mingle and dance amongst the tables. Your performers will engage the audience, encourage participation, and ensure your guests have an amazing time.
Balloons & face painting
When you’re looking to hire a children’s entertainer, you can’t go past a balloon artist and face painter. They’ll bring their own equipment, tools, and supplies, and get set up before the children arrive at the party or event. They’ll do their own setup and clean up when they’re finished. Your children’s entertainer may work for the whole of your event, or for 30-60 minutes in between other activities.
Clowns & characters
Create a special atmosphere at your next children’s party and make their dreams come true when their favourite characters turn up! A costume character entertainer or clown will do more than just get dressed up - they’ll spend the entire event acting in character to entertain and enchant guests. Characters are also a great way to add fun to your corporate event or even your business promotion!
Magic
No matter how big or small your party or event guests, they’ll love watching a magician perform tricks. Your magician will bring all their equipment and get set up ahead of time, staying in character any time a guest approaches. They’ll do a series of tricks as part of a magic show, which may include disappearing tricks, card tricks, illusions, and more. Many magicians will encourage audience involvement, moving about amongst tables, and requesting volunteers to participate. At the end of the show, they’ll pack everything up, taking care to minimise disruption to the rest of your event.
