We are an exciting family team that provide children's entertainment in the form of Balloon Art (twisting) and/or Face Painting. From birthday parties to restaurants, fairs to school events, corporate functions to weddings, we will keep children (young and old!) entertained with exciting fun balloon sculptures and fantastical face painting.
We have had a lot of fun as well, with teenagers, for example at grad parties, who enjoy temporary airbrush tattoos, exotic eye designs (face paint), etc.
The kids had a lot of fun with Jim’s creativity, I will definitely be having them at another event of mine.
Jim was on time, communicative, and pleasant. Everyone enjoyed the balloons. Hire him for your event.
Jim provided balloon twisting for my son’s 5th birthday party and he was a hit! The children were so pleased with their balloon animals and swords! Great addition to a party :)
Jim arrived to our family fun fair and twisted balloons much to the delight and amazement of the young fair goers. He arrived on time and was very friendly and accommodating…Thankyou Jim!
Jim & June were fantastic!! From first contact to the day of event, they were a pleasure to deal with, they were on time, interacted with all guests & the children enjoyed them very much! I would definitely recommend them for any child’s party!! Thank you again Jim & June :)
JJ Entertainers was a great addition to our Kids Christmas Party. A perfect "menu" of balloon twist options and everyone who wanted one got one and loved them.
Jim and June were an excellent addition to my son's 4th bday party! All the guests were very impressed and looking for their contact info and one person said it was the next kids bday party they've been too because of them!
Jim and June were fabulous! The kids really enjoyed the face painting and balloon twisting (as well as the adults). It was so nice to have the kids engaged is their artistic skills. I had many of our guests request their booking information to book them for their kids birthday parties etc. I would definitely book them again!
Thanks so much Jim and June you really made the event a big hit!
Helped my daughter at her kindergarten special person event. The entire class got the the face art and hand tattoos. The kids enjoyed the experience. Happy class, happy teacher, happy daughter, happy mommy 😀
Wonderful service! Very friendly and the designs were beautiful. I would highly recommend this artist!
Arrived right on time and powered 2 hours and at least 20 kids with a million requests. I can't wait to get them back for my son's birthday!
Thanks Jim and June!
Dayna and Dave
Amazing job great with kids and the crowd a great addition to our party recommend %100 you will happy you booked.
We hired Jim for my sons' birthday party. Jim came early, had a line the entire time and even stayed longer to make sure everyone guest who wanted a balloon received one- all with a smile! We got great feedback from guests that they loved the balloons!
Response from Jim and June - JJ Entertainers:
Thank you, Caitlin. It was a joy to entertain at your party! The kids were great and I think I had as much fun as they did. I'm glad they enjoyed it.
We booked Jim and June for our company picnic and they were fantastic! June's face painting is the best I've seen, and Jim quietly wound his way around the group to make sure everyone had a chance to get a balloon sculpture. The quality of both was better than I had anticipated, and everyone left the picnic happy. 10/10 would definitely book for future events.
Jim arrived early, interacted with ALL our guest (audience). The kids loved every single balloon he did. Balloon twisting is an art and he is the master!
Arrived early to set up, adapted easily to the space and energy of the group. Would definitely reccomed for 4 year old bdays!
Response from Jim and June - JJ Entertainers:
Thank you Kate. We had a great time and the kids were wonderful. Glad they had a good time as well.
We had the face painting and balloon Twister they were awesome the kids were extremely happy and entertained.
We couldn’t be happier with our experience with JJ Entertainers. We hired Jim to create balloons for our daughter’s first birthday party. He was a HIT! We had close to 20 kids, ages 1-12 and he managed to capture the attention of every single one of them (and adults, too!). Jim created a variety of really fun balloons and had a crowd around him the entire time. I seriously don’t think there was a request he couldn’t make! And not only did he create awesome balloons, but he was very interactive and had them laughing a lot! My only regret is that I didn’t book him for a longer than the one hour he was there for (we were on time restraints at the venue we were in). He was a very sweet man and very professional; he arrived early to get settled in to be ready for the “start time” we discussed. Will definitely be hiring him again in the future and you should, too! Thanks for everything, Jim. You are great! Wish you the best.
A little late, but it's totally understandable! Our campus is HUGE and many of the buildings aren't labeled.
Everything was great! So much fun. :D My entire department really enjoyed both the face-paint and balloon work until the end. There were people lined up for the full two hour rental.
Thank you so much!! We will hire again for our upcoming events.
JUNE AND JIM ARE TALENTED. THEY ARE PROFESSIONAL, PERSONABLE AND AND ACCOMMODATING . I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM . SPECIAL REQUESTS WERE WELCOMED AND HAPPILY RECEIVED. TRULY A BRIGHT SPOT OF THE PARTY.
I booked Jim and June for my sons 4th birthday party at the park. Jim and June were a huge hit for my son and his friends! They were extremely professional, friendly, and handled the 25 kids so calmly and were so attentive to each kids wants. I would hands down recommend JJ entertainers for any event big or small! Thank you Jim and June! Best decision we made for the party was hiring you both!
I booked them for my son's 3rd birthday party. The kids had an absolute blast and Jim made incredible balloon figures. I think our favorite were the swords and sword holsters! The kids all got their faces painted and everyone had a great time.
June was very nice, great with children and went with the flow of things. Did great work! Everyone loved her work!
Jim was on time and his balloon creations were way beyond my expectations! He made princesses and other disney characters so well it was obvious instantly who they were. My daughter and her friends loved having him at their party and he was worth every penny!
Response from Jim and June - JJ Entertainers:
Thank you, Liz. It was a pleasure entertaining at your party. Thank you for your kind review. Your daughter and all of her friends were so polite and delightful. Glad that I could make it even more special for her. Oh, and your cupcakes were amazing! Thanks!
Jim was an excellent addition to my daughter's 8th Birthday Carnival. The children really enjoyed him and his balloon creations. Jim was personable and worked diligently the whole hour. Thanks Jim for making her party memorable!
Thank you so much for your patience & friendliness , being there extra early and making sure everyone got a baloon, I love how quick & creative you are. Again Thank You so much!!!
June came out and did face painting as well as balloon twisting. She did a great job and everyone was really happy. She even voluntarily stayed passed the prearranged time. Definitely hire them if you want to have a successful event!
Response from Jim and June - JJ Entertainers:
Ryan, thank you so much for your kind review. It was a privilege for us to entertain for your kids and we are happy that you were satisfied with our service. Looking forward to future parties for you or your friends.

We will discuss the details of the event with you and plan whatever arrival time is necessary to begin the entertainment. Please confirm if we will need a canopy, table, chairs, etc. We can supply these if necessary.
Depending on the number of children, we will gauge the balloon and face painting creations accordingly. If time allows, we can be more creative and exotic! If there is a longer line of children, we can also be quick and simple.
As mentioned in our bio, we don't generally "clown up" but our style is more fun, cheery and colorful! You will see us dressed as "classy" entertainers.
