Pinar J. says, "We absolutely loved working with Dreamy Design Facepainting! From start to finish, the experience was smooth, professional, and so much fun. The face painting was incredibly detailed and creative—every child left with a big smile and a design they adored. The balloon art was just as impressive and added a festive touch to our event. The artists were patient, kind, and fantastic with kids, keeping them engaged and happy the entire time. I highly recommend Dreamy Design for any event where you want to add magic and color!"See more

Michael really wow'ed everyone at my daughter's 6th birthday party. He entertained the kids and the parents, and kept everyone laughing and engaged. We were very happy with his performance, and would highly recommend him to anyone that is looking to hire entertainment for an event. He was also very responsive and professional before and during the day of the event, and he was also punctual. He was a pleasure to work with.

Magician Illusions by Vick
Magician Illusions by Vick
A delightfully eerie character, Vick seems to have time travelled from an early 1900s carnival show. Each trick has been carefully honed over the last 20 (or 100?) years. Vick somehow managed to entertain a group of 7 year-old boys for 45mins as well as enthrall the jaded parents at a recent birthday party. Your guests will be entertained, the children slightly terrified, all at a very reasonable price. Book him now. You won't be disappointed.

Mimi is an extraordinary artist and extremely customer-oriented and entertaining for the kids, who were mesmerized watching her paint their friends' faces. All of the parents at the party asked for her contact info afterward!

I volunteer for a non-profit that hired FACES to provide family friendly entertainment at an event. Ed arrived on time (early, in fact) and kept everyone happy and in a light mood. I enjoyed working with Ed, as he was always responsive and professional.

I really enjoyed Chris’s performance at my daughters birthday party. He was very entertaining and he had tricks for the adults too. I give Chris 5 Stars and I would recommend him for any event. He is the best hands down. Hire him!

Vick's performance was fantastic! We've held this holiday party for over 25 years and his performance was a big hit. A ton of people asked for his card and thanked me for having him. He captivated about 20 kids while entertaining another 30 adults. He seems adept at working any setting and/or crowd.

I have never had a complaint with a child entertainment company. But this experience, i have absolutely nothing good to say besides they were on time. I would not recommend them ,and I would not use them again. I paid for a Ninja turtle for an hour, that did not do any entertaining. She just stood there. She? because the 7 years olds could see from the back of the head. The character only nodded during the music, not dance but stood in the middle of the floor . The kids began blowing bubbles and playing with one another. Leaving her with only about 4 kids holding on to the mascot's hand. We also got a popcorn machine for the party from 3-6 and only 3 or 4 bags of popcorn. I asked the host if the turtle knew how to dance he said yes and that was a complete lie. Nodding is not dancing. I spoke with him about the service he said its hard to entertain with this many kids around. Isnt that your job? This was very disappointing. I am prepared to get a statement from at least 10 parents. If more evidence is needed. Signed a mom who goes all out every year, but this has truly set me back smh

Mike entertained 12 kids from 2-5 for an hour at the birthday party of our daughter. We hired mike on short notice (24 hours before the event) and gave him the information he needed, essentially that the audience was toddlers. We asked for fun/comedian show, music and no face painting/baloon arts as the event too place inside. He performend well and the kids liked it very much. Mike was easy to communicate with. I would recommend him any time.

We cannot recommend Mimi more highly!! She is the most talented facepainter we have ever come across.. her designs are absolutely incredible, so intricate and colorful! She is excellent with kids and keeps them entertained with lovely stories when they are getting their faces painted. Highly recommend the ballon crafting also.. the go down so well with the kids and last for days after the event. Mimi is a superstar and we can’t wait to have her at another party in the future!

I'm an event planner in the DC area. I was contacted last minute by a client who wanted to include face painting to their event 2 days, YES 2 DAYS, before the event. Charles responded in a timely fashion, worked with their budget and not only did he paint faces, he included balloon twisting into the price he gave us. I will definitely be adding C & C Entertainment to my Rolodex of vendors and referring him to my clients. GREAT JOB COACH the CLOWN‼️‼️‼️

We asked Clairvoyant Lady to come do readings for ten women who were having a college roommate reunion. Clairvoyant Lady was incredibly generous with her time and made sure that each guest had a thorough and focused reading. She came prepared with copies of each of our star charts, which she interpreted in detail. She was very versatile and provided tarot readings, palm readings, energy readings, and tailored each session to the needs and questions of the individual. The experience generated such fun conversation and reflection among all of us and was perfect entertainment for such a weekend. Clairvoyant Lady was warm, professional, and made everyone feel comfortable and uniquely seen. It was a great and memorable experience for all of us!
