Thank you for coming out to the Zoo and doing face paint for the kids, they really enjoyed it!
This is the second time we’ve had Darrell at the Walk to End Alzheimer’s and he always does a great job. The kids love him and he’s a wonderful addition to our event.

He was an hour late to the event. He had called twice, the first time saying he would be 30 mins late and did not have a large stock of balloons, then he called again and said he would be 45-60 mins late. The face painting and balloon items painted/made were very basic with little to no detail. We were not impressed.
Response from Darrell Barber Creative Specialist:
Blessings please Forgive us. Again we apologise for being late we had a car issue. This is not our normal. Thanks again for including us on this event. We can offer a discount in the future.
Darrell and his crew did a great job. The kids loved him and there were always lots of people in line anxiously awaiting their face painting or balloon designs. The price was reasonable, as well.
Darrell and his crew were just incredible to have at our event! Their energy was unmatched, and the service they provided was clean, safe, and fun! 100/10 recommend them for any and all your events!
Response from Darrell Barber Creative Specialist:
Thank you so much Jaimie! It was great to meet you all, and keep doing all you do! God bless you all!
You guys did amazing! Thank you so much! Everyone loved it! So talented!
I was very impressed with Darrell. He was very interactive with children as he painted their faces and did a great job with the face painting as well. His wife also was involved by making balloon characters for the children. Both were very pleasant and did awesome on the painting and balloon art.
We enjoyed Darrell, his wife Ashley and kids. They did a very professional job and was so friendly.

We enjoyed having this team at our event!
They called me on there way said they were running late would be there a little after 4 (doors to our event opened at 4. They were supposed to be there and set up around 330) I said it’s not really acceptable that your late our event is different then other people’s we are in a time crunch. They didn’t show up until 530. An hour and a half late. Wouldn’t recommend.
Response from Darrell Barber Creative Specialist:
We deeply apologize for our lateness . It is not a habit of ours to show up late but to provide top quality service . At the least we were able to provide creatively and put smiles on many childrens faces even with our lateness & still fulfill a 2 hour duration . Again we apologize .
Darrell was a very professional and friendly gentleman with a welcoming attitude and smile! The children who attended the Sanford International Golf Tournament loved the opportunity to get their faces painted and/or receiving a FUN balloon creation. It truly added a little something extra to the Sanford International Official Kids Zone!
Thank you, Darrell!
Response from Darrell Barber Creative Specialist:
Thank you all so much again for choosing me to bring such positivity to your event! We look forward to working with you all again soon!
He and his team went above and beyond for my son birthday party. The face paintings were beautiful and the balloons twisting was beautiful. Very intelligent and hardworking team. I’ll definitely hire them again! Professional!!
Response from Darrell Barber Creative Specialist:
Thank you all for allowing us to service your family event. We look forward to working with you again soon!

They were very patient and full of skills. The team work effort made it possible for a lot of the children to enjoy their services. I believe the duo art combination was great and a pleasure to have as entertainment.
Darrell and his team traveled to Sioux Falls to help us celebrate our employees at our 1st annual employee appreciation picnic! Darrell and team were only scheduled to be at our event for 2 hours, however there were still excited kiddo's in line to get their faces painted! They stayed until the very last kid was through the line. They never complained about the extra time, and did not ask for anything in return (we made sure to take good care of them) . They were incredibly humble and kind to take care of our employees and their kids. I would highly recommend Darrell Barber Creative Specialist for your next event.
