Welcome to Serious Silliness- the memorable entertainment you need to make your event ✨pop✨! With 10+ years of experience twisting balloons at fairs, church events, and circuses, my balloons are the perfect addition to any event.
I also provide deluxe character parties with a variety of available princesses, fairies, and popular characters! 👑 For these events, the entertainer will arrive in costume with games (themed to match the character) and activities (such as glitter tattoos and balloon twisting) for the party. Photo opportunities will be available to make a truly magical memory for your child!
Thank you for your interest in my page, and I hope to join you at your next event!

Gretchen was absolutely amazing at our community event. Luckily a lot of kids showed up and were thrilled to wait in line for their ballon masterpieces, crafted beautifully and quickly by Gretchen.

Gretchen did such an incredible job at our town festival! She connected with children and adults alike and made it such a fun interactive experience for every one. She was efficient and worked through what seemed like an endless line of kiddos with ease and a smile on her face! A pleasure to work with, punctual, and so talented. Highly recommended!

We hired Gretchen for our grandmothers 96th birthday and she exceeded all our expectations! Extremely professional, prompt, easy to communicate with- she has it all! On top of that her work is super cute and everyone thoroughly enjoyed her work! I’m so happy that she was a part of a very special day, even my 96yr old grandmother said how happy her balloon flamingo made her! Thank you Gretchen!

As a balloon entertainer, I make colorful balloon creations that match my engaging personality! A great addition to any event. All twisting balloons are made of natural rubber latex. Please inform the twister of any known latex allergies.
I have been twisting balloons for over a decade and love the happiness that it spreads. I twist a wide variety of adorable creations. Balloons have a special sort of magic that enchants children and adults alike, and I can't wait to bring that special "wow factor" to your event!
I have a B.S.Ed. in Elementary Education with specializations in Spanish and Special Ed. Please let me know if there are any accommodations I can make for your kiddos!
