I reached out to Jessica less then 48 hours before our event. The forecast was for rain and we had our entertainment cancel. She responded quickly and also asked me about the event to see if she could help with the theme within her performance. She arrived in plenty of time before the agreed upon time and was professional and personable upon arrival and set up.
With her stilts, she rose above our vendors and customers with a beautiful festive costume and she brought sunshine and smiles to a rainy and gloomy day. She was attentive as well to our vendors and customers, asking if they would like to take pictures with her and our vendors and customers were delighted to meet and get to know Jessica. I highly recommend Jessica as a top notch performer who will delight any audience with both her talents as a performer and also with her charming personality.

Jessica made my wedding a dream come true. It's been over a year and people who attended and even people I have never met who saw photos of my wedding and Jessica's performance still come up to me today and talk about how amazing it was. My wife and I had a lightly Lord of the Rings inspired dark fantasy wedding and Jessica pulled out all of the stops, with 7 outfit changes, ballet dances, aerial performances, hoop and silk work, AN UPSIDE DOWN CHAMPAIGN POUR, and winged dance. And on top of it, she is one of the kindest people I have ever had the pleasure of talking to and working with. Her talent alone should make you want to hire her for anything ever, but she is also extremely professional, thoughtful, transparent, and punctual. I wish I could hire for every event I ever have, and I probably will. She made our day more special than we could have ever hoped for.

Thank you so much for having me perform for your wedding!! I loved every magical moment✨ I will never forget all the love and beauty on your wedding day!!
Sending you both lots of love ❤️
Jessica performed during our cocktail hour and wedding reception. We had been interested in adding something extra to make our wedding day truly special and Jessica was the perfect choice.
When you hire Jessica, you are hiring a multitalented full-service entertainer! Our guests were in awe as she first was serving champagne upside down while in a full split on her portable "lollipop" ring stand. She later entertained us all by dancing with these beautiful silk fans. During the reception, she mesmerized the crowd with 2 different aerial silk performances. And finally, she helped kick the dance party into high gear by appearing on stilts with giant fluttery flashing wings. Jessica is also such a sweet person. She developed quite a fan base of children at our wedding and she was so kind and patient with them, as well as generous with her time and talents. We cannot thank Jessica enough for making our special day truly unforgettable.

Thank you so much Paula for your magical holiday party! I had so much fun ❤️ I look forward to more celebrations with you!
Jessica has performed at the ADK Wine Festival the last weekend in June in 2022 and 2023. Our attendees LOVED her! She was engaging with the crowd, took pictures, and even had outfit changes to switch up the look.
She roamed the festival grounds on stilts and also performed with her ariel hoop. People were in awe of her talent and we she elevated the festival experience.
Jessica is a pleasure to work with and super talented!
