Shireen was amazing in helping me think of what would make my studio 54 themed birthday party. We added two shadow box dancers and a roller girl and they were amazing! Everyone was so impressed! It was the perfect addition to make it truly feel like studio 54. I will definitely work with them again!!! Best 40th birthday.

We are so pleased to have added the perfect entertainment to your party! The performers had a great time, thanks for including us in your special day!
Had a great Pirate Themed 6th birthday. The actors put on an amazing show and interacted with the kids. After the treasure hunt the pirates spend extra time interacting with the kids and adults and remains in character until the end. It exceeded my expectations. We are already planing our next party.

Ahoy, Matey! We're so glad you were pleased with our buccaneers, they had a great time swashbuckling at your event!
We had an Under the Big Top auction for St. Thomas More School. I didn't know where to find circus performers so I used gig salad. Flamebuoyant contacted me and they were so great to work with. I was unsure of what we needed and how it would all work but Flamebouyant had tons of experience and able to give me ideas based on their past events. It was so helpful! We hired a fortune teller, contortionist and Strong Woman. The performers were on time, professional and so lovely to work with. Our guests were captivated by their performances. The strong woman brought her own apples and phone books to tear apart. Groups of people were circled around her as she showcased her strength. She helped our raffle team sell out of raffle tickets! I loved seeing the expressions on guests faces as they sat with the fortune teller! Pure amazement! The contortionist captivated the guests as they waited in long lines for the bar. Our circus event would not have been a success without these performers. They stole the show!
I can't wait to work with Flamboyant again!
Circus Entertainment
We requested entertainment with short notice just about a week.The communication we received indicated that we were causing quite the inconvenience to ask for entertainment this late. Which is what led to us being excessively overcharged at $500 for a single acrobat for 20 minutes. This entertainer was great at engaging the audience however, we received notice that we would get tumbling and acrobatics. We got a cartwheel and handstand. Kylee was incredibly entertaining just not anywhere near a $500 act for 20 minutes. We also hired a fire dancer, not from this company, who was exceptional and we would have paid her $500 but she charged less.
In addition, I had to ask for the booking to be on gig salad. Two days after the performance, it showed that we never booked on gig salad. They did respond and add the booking.

Response from Flamebuoyant Productions:
Hi Michelle, I'm so sorry you weren't pleased with your booking, and I am interested in making this right with you if you choose to work with us in the future.
I did not intend to convey that it was an inconvenience to book late, but that it would be difficult to find someone with the skills you were looking for for a themed performance on short notice. I apologize for the miscommunication.
In our messages, I made it clear that I would be sending a contract through my online platform, not through GigSalad. As soon as you brought to my attention that you wanted the booking registered, I did so immediately, as it was an oversight from having been out of the office in the week the event was booked. As described in the contract, the act was "Olympics themed performance including handstands, some simple tumbling, juggling and general clown around type interaction with guests."
Again, I am interested in making this right with you if you choose to work with us in the future.
Our Pirate performance was so much fun! Even our younger kids loved it! Communication before the event to set it up was smooth and easy too! Highly recommend!

Both my husband and I absolutely loved the performance Flamebouyant Productions gave us! Many of our guests are still talking about it! We specifically asked to have a duet performance, and the couple who danced for us sure did deliver! It was a romantic ending to our wedding.
