We hired Maria for my daughter’s 4th birthday party and she was the highlight of the day! The face painting was incredible – honestly, some of the best detail I’ve ever seen. Every child looked amazing! Beyond the art, the balloons and games kept the kids engaged. It made the day so much easier for us. Everyone there commented on how great they thought Maria was. It was a magical morning ✨

Maria was absolutely wonderful at my daughters’ party. From the moment she arrived, her presence was so warm and calming — she instantly put both kids and parents at ease. She has such a gentle way about her and was even able to help the shyest child feel comfortable and truly enjoy the day, which meant so much to us.

All of the kids loved their balloons — there was such a large variety of options, and every creation was beautifully done. Maria was patient, kind, and incredibly talented. We’re so grateful to have had her there and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to add something really special to their child’s celebration.

Thank you, Maria — you made the day magical 🤍

We booked Maria for my daughters 3rd birthday party and she was absolutely amazing! My daughter was born during lockdown, had her first and second birthday parties cancelled due to Covid, and so we were looking to make her third birthday celebration something special. Having Maria there made all the difference. She is fantastic with kids and has such a beautiful way with them. Lots of the kids had never had their faces painted before and she helped them feel so at ease. Maria was really professional, punctual and delivered a fantastic service. Couldn’t recommend more highly. All our guests were really impressed. Thanks Maria!!!

We had the pleasure of hiring Maria to provide the entertainment at our daughter Maddi’s 5th birthday party today.
In short, if you’re looking for a kids party entertainer give Maria a call, you won’t be disappointed.
Her face painting skills are exceptional and she’s super quick, but that’s not where it ends. Maria has an incredible ability to personally engage the kids (we had 15) with a range of games and activities, and while she’s face painting she gives them activities to entertain themselves with until she re engages them. All the kids had a number painted on their face signalling their turn to get their face painted and she juggles the games, pace painting and self directed activities perfectly.
I was skeptical about how she would achieve this without our support, but I stand corrected!
Thanks Maria and see you at Maddi’s 6th birthday 👍

Maria is so much fun, so organized and so attentive to all kids around. Not to mention her skills – Facepaints looked divine! She can definitely read the room and be flexible, adjusting games and timing to suit the party! Our 4yo daughter had the best time at her own party and her friends (and parents) too! Thanks Maria

She greeted all the girls as they arrived and made them all feel welcome and comfortable by inviting them to join in and painting their faces. She taught them all
kinds of tricks with hula hoops and they played so many fun games. She also went above and beyond to make my daughter feel special on her birthday. She gave her a gorgeous bag of gifts and a hula hoop as well as providing all the lollie bags for the kids. It made the party totally stress-free for me!
