What an absolutely amazingly incredible experience I had working with Party Animals. My artist name was Nelson and he was nothing short of amazing! He was punctual and handled every single request for over 350 people! He was truly incredible!

We had a great fun with Dan’s magic show for kids 2-10 years old. It was amazing to see how kids were interacting with the Wizard, laughing, performing tasks and answering questions - would definitely book the show again!

Dan was my initial contact, and Zach did the facepainting and magic/balloon show at my 3-year-old's party. If you could only see the excitement, laughter, and sheer joy on the kids' faces. You could tell this was not Zach's first rodeo. The airbrush facepainting went very quickly, no long lines, and kids got multiple paintings done. Zach had a great presence during the show in my living room, even getting adults involved. He dealt well with the hecklers (6 to 8-year-old boys!). He knew some of the kids' names and was very kind. We've never done anything like this, but it was a hit and within our budget. I highly recommend this company!

Everyone loved this party experience. Dan was fantastic with the kids. He was funny and very patient. He did facepainting, magic (this had them mesmerized), and balloon critters. Great investment.

Party Animals was a hit at our recent Spring Fling Event; the children very much enjoyed interacting with the balloon artist and face painter. Due to bad weather, we had to move the staff indoors but everything went off without a hitch and we had no issues with the facepainting being indoors.
Thank you to Dan for his professionalism, responsiveness and the punctuality of his staff.

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We call and visit with them, get important information (is Location, Party person's name...). We will then call them 2 days before the event to get a Credit card # from them. This goes in our safe until the day after the event. The charge is run then.
We will also text the client with our cell # for was contact should questions arise. Our purpose is to make sure that the event is as carefree as possible.
What types of customers have you worked with?
We currently work with the Houston Rockets, Astros and Dynamo. We have over 20 different Libraries in the Harris, Fortbend and Galveston counties, along with most of the Major Daycares systems in town. We do holidays , i.e. Easter Bunnies and Santa to many Apartment complexes. But by far our best customers are our Family Birthday parties and other Celebrations. We enjoy bring fun and laughter to special family events
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Find the person that has a Heart for Fun. If you get the feeling that this is "just a job" for whomever you talk to, MOVE ON! Check out their Profile and read the reviews! They are unfiltered and cannot be reordered so the top reviews are for recent events. Find out what others thought of their work. If the client took the time to leave a review, it was either really good or really bad!
