Emily provided 2 hours of balloon twisting for my Daughters Birthday Party and she knocked it out of the park. The hit was probably the bow and arrows. It was a perfect compliment for kids that didn’t want to do some of the other activities. Highly recommend.
Details: Birthday party • 21 - 40 guests • 4 - 6 years old • Detailed balloon art (uses several balloons) • Simple balloon twisting (e.g., one-balloon dog) • Face painting is not needed

Hartlove Entertainment exceeded my expectations! I’ve never used Emily before, so I was a bit nervous. But they did amazing ! All the kids loved the face painting and balloons! The popcorn was yummy! My husband couldn’t stop eating slushies. Haha It’s safe to say, the guests really enjoyed themselves and had a good time! Thank you so much for your services! I’ll be contacting you again soon! :)

We hired Hartlove Entertainment for our twin daughters first birthday and everyone enjoyed the popcorn, cotton candy, balloon twisting and face painting. I was so happy to find HARTLOVE ENTERTAINMENT because they were able to provide all four entertainment for a great value. They are super friendly, professional, punctual and clean up after themselves. Thank you!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Ask for details! :)
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Explain my pricing, and the way an event normally goes down. I then ask if they have any specific requests or needs for their event, and adjust accordingly. Generally we exchange numbers or emails so there's an open line of communication in the event of changes/rescheduling/etc.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Lots of experience. 2 years of experience in ballons/facepaint. My partner has been in food service for 5 years, and has already had several gigs for the popcorn and cotton candy.
