FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Once we have agreed upon services and the all inclusive fee, we send out a contract clearly outlining the performance agreement. We then collect a $100 deposit to reserve your date and time. We accept credit card or personal check deposits. The balance is paid at the satisfactory completion of the contract in the form of cash or the same method as deposit. Performers are allowed to accept tips, food and gifts but they will never request nor expect them. We do ask that you provide your performers with access to a restroom and drinking water. In some cases, performers may need access to an electrical outlet, table, and chairs. Otherwise, we bring all required equipment and supplies.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
Clarissa's story began 16 years ago, in college this small town girl fell in love and ran away with the circus! Friend Brian Happie (owner of B. Happie Entertainment), saw potential and recruited the initially reluctant apprentice. When shy Clarissa arrived at her very first gig in a well worn borrowed costume and frizzy wig she was greeted at the door by the birthday girl in tears crying "The mermaid is ugly!" Brian talked to the client and she graciously agreed to give the ugly mermaid a chance. While face painting, Clarissa did her best to misdirect attention toward how creative, beautiful, smart and talented the little birthday party guests were. In no time, the tears and spirits were completely turned around! The situation that could have easily been Clarissa's first and last rather taught her about the magic of making a child feel special. And from that day forward, Clarissa has always succeeded in making a great first impression!
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Referrals and reviews are nice, but ALWAYS confirm that your entertainer has performers insurance.
