Having Marshall create his balloon artistry was the hit of my grandson's 5th birthday party. I decided to spend money on this rather than the"treat bag" so often given out at parties. Best decision ever! Marshall is very patient with kids, and there was no request he couldn't tackle. Book him - you will not be sorry!!!

Details: Birthday party • 21 - 40 guests • 4 - 6 years old • Detailed balloon art (uses several balloons) • Face painting is not needed

Oh my goodness, so sorry I'm just now seeing this review! For some reason, I did not get a notification from Thumbtack about it. But anyways thank you so much for the kind words and even more for the great party! Everyone was fantastic and I'm so thrilled that they enjoyed the balloons. Please feel free to reach-out if you ever need anything. Thanks and Happy New Year!

I hired Marshall for a corporate event I was planning for work. From the start, Marshall was responsive, accommodating, easy to work with, and very easy to communicate with. The days leading up to the event Marshall made himself available to discuss event details and when it came to the day of, he confirmed his arrival time via text, putting my mind at ease. During the event, Marshall was not only impressing everyone with his balloon twisting skills (Both children and adults) but was quick, efficient, and always keeping busy. If there was ever a lull he was quick to twist up additional items to have ready for kids. When our scheduled time was almost up, he was very accommodating and allowed us to add an additional hour to the event. I would absolutely hire Marshall again in the future for any personal or professional event I was hosting. Thanks again!

Details: Corporate event • 151 - 200 guests • 18 or older • 15 - 17 years old • 11 - 14 years old • 7 - 10 years old • 4 - 6 years old • Younger than 4 years old • Detailed balloon art (uses several balloons) • Simple balloon twisting (e.g., one-balloon dog) • Face painting is not needed
