Client Reviews

“Just wanted to say that Nicol was outstanding! She absolutely busted her ass the whole time, she turned up with plenty of time to get set up, was professional, easy as/no trouble/just got on with it. Made it so easy for us! The kids loved her, she was fast so kids weren’t waiting for too long (there were over 80 guests, at least half of those kids who wanted face paint), and her work was incredible! She was just full on, constantly going from the start contracted time right up until the end of the party, no one missed out, she made sure of it  must have been exhausting! Could not praise her any higher, the service she provided for us was just impeccable. So much great feedback from all the party goers! Thank you  “
