Pete the Balloon Twister

We have had the pleasure of having Vanilla Swirl for both of our sons' birthday parties. He is warm and patient and fun. He engages the children without riling them up. I recommend him highly and look forward to referring my family and friends with small children to him.

Pete "Vanilla Swirl" absolutely exceeded my expectations for our son's 4th birthday party. He was prompt, well prepared, hysterical and kept the kiddos entertained for over an hour! The time, care and preparation put into his show is evident; as is his expertise and ability to cater to kids of all ages.
I can't recommend Pete enough!
Thank you for a lovely memory:)

I contacted and booked Vanilla Swirl for my nieces 2nd birthday party. After several communications with him via Thumbtack, we spoke on the phone and re-confirmed the date, time and location of the event. My niece was thrilled to be having a clown for her birthday, so you could imagine her disappointment when he was a complete no-show! Not a phone call, text or message. The let down on her face when we had to tell her the clown isn’t coming is something I never want to see again. He is unprofessional, unreliable and mean to say the least. I still have not heard from him as to what happened, but I will certainly recommend another source of entertainment if you are looking for a clown.

The kids loved Vanilla Swirl! Would recommend!

Awesome job!! Kept the kids so entertained and wanting him to come back again !!

The kids were all into the show from beginning to end. Loved it!

We had so much fun in our party, thanks to Vanilla Swirl! Kids had an amazing time and a lot of parents said the same thing. One of them approached me and told me that her kid said it was the best birthday party she’s ever been to! We hired him for my son’s 6th birthday party. My son had an amazing time, and even requested to have Vanilla Swirl again for his next birthday! He made really lovely balloons too. Vanilla Swirl is not only very professional, great with what he’s doing, but also very kind. Everybody loved him. I wouldn’t know what to do without him in our party, thank you so much again! I highly recommend him! He’s good at what he does and he made everybody laugh, even the grown ups!

Vanilla Swirl the Clown was so nice, organized and kept my Kids and Family entertained! They all were laughing and smiling the whole time. He makes awesome balloon animals, butterflies, flowers.. etc

Really understands how to communicate with kids.

He was awesome.Right on time and very flexible about show timings.kids loved himmandvwe loved his jokes😊 .He was really good with kids and there was so much fun in our party.

Perfect. Kids loved it

Magician was great and stayed longer than was expected. Highly recommend:)

Pete, Vanilla Swirl, was great! He arrived early and made balloons for the kids. He started his show and it lasted about an hour. The kids loved it! They were laughing and screaming through the whole thing. She’s ranged from 1-10. Great for all ages! After the show he stayed and made more balloon animals. We can’t wait for the next party so we can use vanilla swirl again!!! Thank you helping us make nates first birthday party a huge success! 💕

Vanilla Swirl was early and came in and got set up. Until the actual show time he made balloons for the kids. Show started and the kids loved it and even when Santa came in they didn't even notice due to them being so attentive to his show. After the show concluded, he stayed for a few extra minutes and made more balloons for the kids. I will hire him again for next year's party and would highly recommend him for anyone's event.

We had seen Pete perform a bunch of times and loved it! That’s why we asked him to come and entertain the kids at our son’s 3rd birthday party. He was amazing as usual, yet gentle and accommodating of the toddlers who tried to gang up on him haha.. The adults as well as the kids thoroughly enjoyed his magic show and we were left with tons of twisted balloon puppets of different sizes and shapes, all custom made for the kids (and adults :P).
He is one of the most genuine people I have ever met, it shows in his performance, and I would gladly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a fun party entertainer!

Vanilla Swirl (Pete) was great with my daughter and all my guests (5-7 years old). He was fun, sweet and patient. He had a great show with a bunch of tricks Ive never seen before. Would DEFINITELY reccomend this awesome performer.

Vanilla Swirl showed up right on time as discussed and was ready to perform in about five minutes. He involved the kids very much in his show and they had a really great time. The laughter was wonderful to hear and the smiles on their faces was priceless. The kids also enjoyed the balloon animals that he made for them. He is a very patient performer and I can tell that he really loves what he does.

Kids had a great time!

Vanilla Swirl was terrific for our adult specialneeds daughter's birthday party! He really geared is show towards them. Even spent time with one the blind friend who was there.
The party also included many typical adults and they all enjoyed the show!
He was a great choice and reasonable!
