We hired Mezzaine and her team for our Alice and Tomorrowland themed Corporate Party and they did an amazing job and everyone was in complete awe of them. They were professional, super friendly and accommodating with everyone that wanted to take pictures with them. I look forward to working with them again!
Mezzanine Beecomb was simply fantastic. From my first communication with her to the ongoing communication over the months of our planning, she was so kind, helpful, enthused, and other great adjectives. She pulled together a team of people that pulled our event together fantastically. We had a stilt walker, two hoopers, juggler, percussionist, and living statue. They exceeded my expectations and our guests loved the event. Mezzanine will do everything in her power to meet your needs, and you can't go wrong with booking her and allowing her to piece your entertainment together. Thank you, Mezzanine!

Mezzanine and company did a fabulous job entertaining 85 children and 300 adults for our twins first birthday party. She was definitely a pleasure to work with and extremely pleasant to all. Mezzanine provided an itinerary for the 2.5 hours, plus we added an extra 30 minutes for the workshop. Kids and adults talked about our stilt walker/jugglers for weeks after our babies party. I'm so pleased that I went with my gut and hired Mezzanine Beecomb Circus Arts for some extra entertainment for our circus party. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.
Circus Entertainment, Juggler, Stilt Walker
Giving 4 stars because this was a last minute booking and I was happy we were able to secure someone in a 48hr turn-around time.
However, would have liked more energy from our twister. I think he may have been more suited for a corporate event versus a child party 🥳 but all in all OK. Like a said, last minute booking and match. Communication was good pre-event and during. Did arrive a few minutes late so I'd suggest buffering start time.
Balloon Twister
They were great! Interactive, funny and added to our circus theme event. Thank you!
Juggler, Mime
Response from Circus Modern:
Jennifer,
We were delighted to send our juggler and mime to your event. We love them so! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. Have a beautiful day! We are here when you need entertainment. : )
Mezzanine
Circus Modern
The balloonist and bubble maker showed up on time. They did have specific ideas on the sequencing of events, and stuck to it in spite of my feedback, so recommend touching base with them ahead of time to coordinate.

Response from Circus Modern:
Thank you Gladys! So glad your son had a nice birthday celebration at the school! I enjoyed face painting the Sonic characters : ) Mezzanine
Great experience.
communication before the event, to coordinate the event was on point. Show was great, there was not much wind and Mezzanine still manage to warm up our guest hearts.
Bubble Entertainment
Please, whatever you do, do not book!! I paid for the balloonist prior to the event and they no showed. Still working on getting my money back but more so than anything it was such a disappointing and inconvenient experience. I followed up twice asking them to confirm date and time prior to the event. They "read" the message and never responded. Once the time of the event came around, I was scrambling around messaging Mezzanine and searching around the building. Wasting my time worrying about where they were instead of enjoying and tending to our event. So frustrating, please save yourself and do not book.

Response from Circus Modern:
Julianne,
Our sincerest apologies. We did not see your confirmed booking for this event. Yes, we spoke with you, but I'm sorry I did not know that you had completed the reservation. We would have loved to have been there. Of course the refund will be sent to you, but more importantly we are sorry to have let you down. This is definitely something that we do not ever do. It looks like your booking was caught up in a very busy fair weekend and was overlooked. We were available by phone more than on the computer during the Solano County Fair. Sorry we did not hear from you and sincerely sorry to have missed entertaining at your event.
Mezzanine
This group is talented, thoughtful and very organized. They knew their routines and their craft. The costumes were amazing. They were professional at every point of contact. We will definitely be using them again.

Response from Circus Modern:
Thank you Reagan! You threw a lovely event and we enjoyed bringing an LED and FIRE show. Super fun! We'd be thrilled to help again.
Kids and Parents loved the full two hour entertainment. While kids lines up for balloon twisting parents enjoyed their appetizers. The Magic show was hit with everyone. Great service and very professional!!! Will definitely rehire.
Balloon Twister, Children’s Party Entertainment
We had awesome experience with Circus Modern. She came before the time, got my daughter beautiful little gift, made kids beautiful balloons. Kids had such great time with her. Bubbles were so much fun. It was wonderful to see all the kids happy and laughing and having good time. She went above and beyond to ensure great time for everyone.
Balloon Twister, Bubble Entertainment
Response from Circus Modern:
Bhashi, Thanks so much for having me at your daughter's birthday. The kids were great! Feel free to contact us again. Happy to help enhance the day :-)
Mezzanine
Mezzanine showed up on our event early and with a great attitude. She wore a Star Wars costume to surprise the kids and patiently engaged with every single one of them to make sure they got what they wanted. She twisted the balloons into Light Sabers for boys and cute animals for girls. The balloons she created kept the kids happy and busy throughput the party, all of them going for seconds and even thirds. This party was important for us because it was the fist one after such a long break due to Covid. These kids needed some fun and Mezzanine delivered. Thank you so much!
Balloon Twister
Response from Circus Modern:
My pleasure Kay! Thanks so much! The kids were great, super excited to get hands-on and involved. If you want to try a juggler or giant bubbles next go, please think of us! I think the children would love to get involved with either of those activities. All the best! Mezzanine
The kids loved the bubbles show. Mezzanine was amazing and wore a mask the whole time and stayed longer than agreed with no extra charge. Definitely recommend her :)
Bubble Entertainment
Response from Circus Modern:
Thank you Maie! So glad the bubble entertainment was a hit! The kids were lovely!! We would be happy to entertain for you again :<)
Blessings!
Rica and mezzanine were amazing. On time. Professional . And most importantly fun and entertaining .
I will defiantly hire again for next event. They came for a small birthday party I held and they made it memorable .
Fire Dancer
Response from Circus Modern:
Thank you Tommy! So glad the fire dancer was a hit for the birthday celebration! We would be happy to entertain for you again :<)
Blessings!
Very friendly, unfortunately didn’t bring all of the face paint so kids were limited to only a few colors and ran out of time and wasn’t able to do bubble show that I had paid extra for. Very nice though.
Children’s Party Entertainment
Mezzanine was a great communicator from the start. She offered suggestions, new creative ideas, and clearly was ready to bring it! We enjoyed every minute of this circus troupe (Mezzanine, Flavio and Francisco!) They made the party and I appreciate it soooo much. Professional, on top of everything, left zero for me to worry about except enjoying the F-U-N!
Fire Performer, Hoop Dancer, Human Statue, Juggler, LED Performer, Mime
Showed up well before scheduled time and were ready to go at agreed start time. Super fast to respond. Kids and adults loved her and she was able to setup a face painter which was just as amazing. Would definitely book again!
Balloon Twister, Face Painter
Response from Circus Modern:
Thanks Jelena for the stellar review! You organized a beautiful block party. Thanks for including us. We'd love to come back anytime.
We hired Mezzanine as a balloon twister. She was perfect. She made many balloons for each of the kids and all different (flowers, swords, butterflies, crowns, monkeys on the trees, etc) we had less kids than expected so she did play with them and kept them entertained. She was so nice, patient and friendly. We will for sure hire her again!
We loved having Mezzanine and her partner at our holiday party- the crowd was "wowed" and really enjoyed their performances!

Thank you for a FUN 8os themed event!!!! We brought a Michael Jackson Living Statue and Madonna stiltwalker. Photos on www.instagram.com/mezzanine_beecomb_circus_arts
✨Happy Holidays✨
It was my son's first party with a bubble show, and we were super excited. Nikki came on time and dressed really cool.The kids were happy to see some giant bubbles floating in the air. But I got so dissapointed when I didn't see more than that for an hour. I expected Nikki to really entertain the kids and maybe do a REAL bubble show. She told me that she couldn't do much because of the wind situation, but I was hoping she could have initiated some bubble games and other fun interactive bubble stuff for the kids considering that the event was outdoors. We paid close to $300 for the bubble show and I feel we didn't get our money's worth. I understand that we don't have control over the wind but she could have done something more to entertain the guests.
Bubble Entertainment
It was so nice working with this company! Very responsive, friendly and on time! They loved interacting with the audience and dancing to any type of music! Thank you for a wonderful event!
Balloon Twister, Stilt Walker
Two stilters and balloon twister at my event! So glad I went with this company! They were constantly in touch and showed up early for the event! Very friendly and engaging with the audience. Would def recommend using them for your event!

Imran,
Thank you for having us! 😁😁😁We enjoyed your event and it's cause. If you need entertainers for future events, we're here for you!
Mezzanine
Our students were thrilled! Very timely, professional, and interactive.
Bubble Entertainment
Mezzanine BCA were a hit at our company's Take Your Child to Work Day. We had balloon and bubble artist come and entertain the kids in the afternoon. They were fun and engaging with all the kids did a great job of putting smiles on their faces! They showed up on time, in costume and ready to play. Thank you for your time, it was exactly what we wanted.
Balloon Twister, Bubble Entertainment
Mezzanine Beecomb came with the right amount of energy that I was hoping for at my wedding anniversary party. The costumes and props and lights were great, and my guests danced a lot and were really excited by their surprise appearance at the party. I was, however, disappointed because we had agreed to an hour of entertainment in our conversations to each other on GigSalad. It was noted in the quote that she gave me and we discussed repeatedly that the dancers would come out from 8;30-9:30pm, but if some other events (such as Mother-son Dance) were still occurring for the party, then they might need to come out a little late (ex. 8:40pm), but still stay until 9:30pm. They came out about 8:45pm, when they could have come out earlier than this because everyone was already on the dance floor, and left at 9:16pm. I was so wrapped up in the party and the million people talking to me that I didn't even have time to realize how short their appearance was. The DJ later confirmed that the time on the dance floor was indeed this short. All my guests also noticed that the dancers were out for a very short amount of time and would have loved to have them out for longer, as it added a really fun dynamic.
As Easter Sunday was the next day, and I had 25 family members at my house for the next 3 days, I did not immediately have time to call and complain. When I did call Gig Salad they said that I would have had to complain within 48 hours of the event. They also were unable to do anything about the amount of time I had paid for because Mezzanine Beecomb had "sneakily" put in the agreement 8;30-9:15pm as the entertainment times. I had completely missed this when I went to pay because I was going off the quote and our conversations. I definitely learned a lesson there... But due to this, they technically did not violate their contract.
Before calling GigSalad I had even tried to write to Mezzanine, expressing my frustration with the timing and how I feel they should give me a partial refund. She never responded to me and still has not. I did not want to leave a bad review as I was hoping that she would resolve this with me privately, but I have been unable to get ahold of her. Therefore, please learn from my mistakes. I thought I was protected in using this website, but due to my own blind faith I was still screwed over and paid over $600 for 30 minutes of entertainment. :( I feel very taken advantage of, but that's life.
Stilt Walker
Response from Circus Modern:
I certainly wasn't sneaky about the time and was not in a hurry to leave either. We were there for an hour. An Hora Loca is a burst of energy. The other stiltwalker (who owns her own stilt company too) and I brought great energy and delight to your guests. Our costumes were exactly as described; we had bright LED hoops and LED isis wings as promised. The rate of $300 each was very fair. I did not even take a commission. In fact, Gig Salad takes a cut to run your credit card so I received $290 or so for each and paid the other entertainer $300.
I checked for the time with the DJ before we exited. We were full energy for an hour. It felt complete at that point: We had entered, handed out the fun hats and lights you supplied, did limbo with guests, took lots of photos with guests, hoop danced on stilts and danced with isis wings as much as we could in the crowded space. The guests were all smiling and dancing and we felt the party had really heated up. Then I asked you and your husband if you would like to take photos as it would be time for us to leave soon. We took several photos with you both and danced a few more minutes. The evening felt complete.
In the dressing room afterwards, several guests complimented our performance and told us that we were awesome. We lingered and a guest took a great pic of us. You came in and changed your dress into a beautiful sparkly gown and told us we did a great job.
We lingered and packed our things, catching up as the other performer and I had not seen each other in awhile and we are friends too. We were not in a hurry. We highly love what we do and would have gladly performed for another 15 mins. At no time did anyone ask us to stay extra.
I'm very sorry you feel that we were not on long enough. I wish I had known you felt that way that night. Seems we could of corrected this and danced with guests longer. Honestly, I feel the rush of the hora loca was well achieved and guests were very happy and awed at our prese
Mezzanine Beecomb Circus Arts was simply amazing!!! Mezzanine was on top of everything and was super responsive! To top it off, their performances at our event were top notch! We had two stilt walkers who welcomed our guests to the party, a contortionist, a hoop dancer and a contact ball performer!
I would hire Mezzanine Bececome Circus Arts again and again and again.

Was great to have a stiltwalker at our event. She was great and was a big hit.
thank you
Stilt Walker
We had a non profit event called The Gold Party. We uses a stilt walker dressed in gold and a gold human statue. They were awesome and created so much fun for our guests. We will definitely use them again!
Mezzanine was on time, prepared and great with the kids. She had no problems dealing with the chaos of a bunch of Littles overly excited to get their balloon animals (a balloon squid is a very cool thing) I would definitely hire her again. Maybe next time we’ll try Giant Bubbles or Face Painting!
P.s. This review tool made me choose a service before submitting. Because “balloon artist” wasn’t a choice, I arbitrarily chose “stilt walker” so I can submit. To be clear, Mezzanine provided balloon artist services for our child’s 4th birthday.
Stilt Walker
Lauren showed up in "costume" and went right to work. She showed up a little late but was in regular communication with me to let me know her status. Her work was superb. The kids loved her and she was very creative with the many styles of masks that she painted. No two of the 40 or more kids were the same.
Face Painter
We found Jeremiah through Mezzanine Beecomb Circus Arts. He was fantastic! Very personable, put on an excellent show for the children (and attending adults). He came early and showed some tricks to the group starting half an hour before the show started and stayed late to talk to all of the kids that had questions for him. I would highly recommend him as a performer (and he could not have been nicer!)
Juggler
Quality, professional services. Easy to work with. Adapted to our needs with a smile.

Mezzanine did a great job connecting us to our balloon twister. Christian was awesome! The kids loved him -- he kept them entertained until the very last minute and was silly and so fun. He was very accommodating to the children's request and made some pretty cool things that were new to even him :) Communication was on point from initial request to the day of the party. Very happy customer here!
Balloon Twister, Children’s Party Entertainment
We are an orthodox Jewish community and were looking for an inter-generational entertainment program. Mezzanine found for us the right mix of performers who did a great job entertaining children, parents, grandparents and great grandparents.

Thank you for including 3 of our jugglers in your Chanukah lighting ceremony; it was our pleasure. You are an exclnt mc! I hope I can assist you with future entertainment.

Everyone had a blast dancing with Mezzanine and she helped make my daughter's party great!

Response from Circus Modern:
I had a fantastic time too! What a beautiful family gathering. Thank you for the opportunity to stilt dance : )
I had never put a show together before, but GigSalad made it so simple! Mezzanine Beecomb Circus Arts was fast and efficient. The talent provided was great, and our show was sold out! Everyone was so happy with our burlesque event! Thank you for being there for us!

Thanks so much! It was a pleasure to work with you. Our burlesque dancers had a lovely time. We would love to perform at your events in the future.
I'm not good at reviews, but here it goes.

Mezzanine (stilts/fire), Paul (fire) and Alex (magician/juggler) put on a captivating and entertaining show at my son's 18th birthday party. The age range of the guests was 5 years old to 87 years old and everyone loved and raved about the performers! Mezzanine was a joy to work with and kept me informed throughout the hiring and planning phase. She worked diligently and patiently with my ever changing requests. Ultimately, she provided great service, entertainment and peace of mind to the event! Her team was able to keep a flock of teenagers enthralled and entertained for 3 hours! Need I say more....?!

She was very sexy, fun, and professional. Everyone enjoyed her sexy burlesque show. Thank you!!

Arrived on time and overcome some restrictions set by building. Did a very creative job creating the Mojiganga wedding puppet. Everyone enjoyed taking pictures with her. Fun evening.
Stilt Walker
First the performer arrive on time both very polite. Love the kids smile when they saw him perform and he even let the kids practice and be part of the show. Thank you
Fire Performer
We needed a stilt walker for an event in San Francisco and Mezzanine Beecomb Circus Arts delivered. They we're professional, dressed the part and really added to the circus theme of our event. I would highly recommend them if you're considering hiring them. Alexis
Stilt Walker
Mezzanine Beecomb's appearances in Santa Cruz Arts & Technology Festival surprised and captivated the attendees to our event this year at the prestigious Museum of Art & History. A real pro, Mezzanine was a delight to behold and to work with, and we hope to have her involved in future productions which we are planning soon.
Hoop Dancer, Stilt Walker
Mezza9 performed as a stilt-walker at the 10 year anniversary and MFA art show for my department at UCSC. The event drew people from all over the country and Mezza9's presence really helped transform this into a magical and artful environment. She was very professional and fun to work with. Her costuming was custom made and modified for the show; it looked fabulous and appropriate for the event. She moved like one of the artworks through the event and everyone lit up when she came near.
Stilt Walker
I've always been impressed with Mezza9's presence and talent. She brings an amazing energy that uplifts the mood of any event she goes to, and it is reflected in everything she does, from painting to stilt walking.
Live Artwork, Stilt Walker
Have knows this lady for years, and thrilled by her art, hooping, and other circus talents.
