She was so perfect. So friendly with the kids and her work was AMAZING will definitely use her in the future for everything. Lacey H.
Wow! Just Wow! Simplicity was by far the best part of my parents' 50th Anniversary Party! She was a huge hit with all of the grandkids and to say we were blown away but her skills and speed would be an understatement. Thank you, thank you, thank you! DO NOT HESITATE and hire her, you will be soooooo glad you did! :) Shannon S
Amazing event Simplicity’s Wonderful World provided great quality service for my child’s birthday party! She was wonderful with the children of all ages and the kids had a blast with all the entertainment from face paint to bubbles and glitter tattoos! Highly recommend her for future event needs! Laura
Very sweet lady with a passion for making kids smile. Going well out of her way just to work for tips at the pickle festival says a lot about her character. Very committed, talented and loves what she does 😊 Layne M.
Simplicity is a real pro! She is GREAT with kiddos. She smiles both on the outside & in. Her cheerful spirit and ability to relate to children is real talent! Simplicity is a true artist at creating balloon sculptures She even has holiday themed balloons! Her Bubbles are so much that you can hear children laughing and playing. Simplicity has years of experience. She's always creating new types of entertainment. You will be 100% pleased with her!!!! Judy S
Simplicity the Clown was super! Simplicity showed up on time, made beautiful balloon objects for kids (and adults) and engaged with the kids. Plus, the bubbles were an extra hit. She was pleasant and professional - thank you Simplicity! Joan T
Patient + FUN! MaryAnne did my son’s first birthday party. She was on time and right into action! The face painting + balloon animals were a real hit (very impressed with her octopus balloon + tiger face paint :). I would definitely recommend her for keeping children busy and entertained! Ashley M
Simplicity was great! Simplicity arrived, set up promptly and did a good job. She was patient and made the experience of getting a glitter tattoo and face painting very special. The kids love it! I would definitely schedule her again for our event next year. She did really good balloons, but we were not able to continue with the balloon making - a few kids used them inappropriately. Glad we were able to book her. Catherine F
Great job All kids were happy and all activities were done very professionally. Carmine C
Great job! We were very pleased with Simplicity! The children absolutely adored her! 😁👍🏻🤗 Jennifer F
She's great! Simplicity was great! She strolled the grounds of our fall farm festival, interacting with the kids, blowing bubbles, & handing out stickers. She was in full costume & our customers loved her! Cindy V
Great Entertainment Wonderful entertainment for 2 hours for kids ages 2-9 years. She kept them all busy and engaged the whole time and was so professional! Dana M
Awesome Very professional and talented! She arrived 15 minutes early and was well prepared for the “what if’s”, which is most moms thinking process lol. I was expecting basic balloon twisting but she created beyond my expectations. Her first balloon twist was an octopus which was given to the birthday boy! The kids couldn’t get enough of her! She made swords, octopus, flowers, and so much more out of balloons!!! I booked her for my baby’s first birthday party and her service was perfect! Thank you so much for being apart of our special day!!! Hawah A
