Bubbles was the life of the party! She came in with so much energy and took over. She played music and danced with the kids and then did face paint and balloontwisting. We had kids of all ages and she had all kids engaged and having so fun! She’s the best and I HIGHLY recommend her for any party!

If there was an option to give 10 stars we would give it!!! From the moment we started communicating with Bubbles she was responsive, kind, and just genuinely interested in what would make our son's birthday party special. We sent her pictures of the space and she was so very flexible and made sure we knew that she needed very little accommodations and could set up in 5 minutes - and thats what happened! She suggested she start 30 minutes after the party started so everyone would be there (great idea), and she was just full of awesome energy when she and DJ Blah Blah Blah came through the door. They set up quickly, looked for the birthday boy (he turned 3) and immediately starting warming up to the kids! She read the room so well - made sure the music was just right, that everyone knew she was there, but most importantly they went with the vibe of the party. She started face panting first with some fun music and got everyone in the mood for a party. Their personalities are so warm that the kids immediately started going over one by one and then all the parents and friends got in on it too! I think more of the adults got face paint :). And then the dancing, games, bubbles and just fun started and continued for the rest of the time - they have sooo many activities - and that was all topped with a Bubbles special Happy Birthday song. We were really happy we booked them for 2 hours - it was perfect - 1 hour wouldn't have been enough because they are so talented and just got everyone involved - but only if they wanted to participate - I can't stress enough how well they read the room! But most of all, they are just great people. EVERYONE at the party asked for their contact information, and in addition to being so fantastic at what they do, they are just wonderful. Everyone is going to be talking about this party until the next one (they all said it was the best kids party they've ever been to), and its because of Bubbles :) We hope they are available for our next party :)

Bubbles literally made our daughter's 4th birthday party turn into a real PARTY. From the music from her speakers, to making sure that everyone got their face painted, even the shy boy in the back. And then the real fun began when she managed to get a group of 4 year olds belt 'let it go' at the top of their lungs while she blew up balloon shapes and then led a conga line through our house. The energy and vibe were incredible and she really read the room. Thank you Bubbles, you made us look good!
