We threw a private party for my husband's 50th birthday. Gretchen's performance was incredible, her costume was beautiful, she was completely professional and a pleasure to work with from start to finish. I highly recommend her!
Gretchen amazed my campers with her acrobatic skills. She was warm and friendly and wore a beautiful costume to boot. The kids were thoroughly entertained when she was performing or engaging in them activities. It did appear, however, that entertaining them for the two hours we booked was too much. I would recommend booking Gretchen for a shorter period to get the most of her performance and activities with the children.
