Thank you so much for your review Paige! It was a blast to work with your staff as well. I'm glad I was able to add to the event for you and the guests.

Thank you so much Shari for the kind words; it was my pleasure to help you making Catherine's birthday a success!
It’s not just about how people do their job. It’s about how happy the people are because of what you are doing. She made not only the kids happy, all of their parents too. We are so happy having Smile On Yu for our daughter's birthday and she did an excellent job.

Photos from this event
This was our first time hiring a professional face painter and we didn't know what to expect. Catherine exceeded all our expectations.She was on time and did an outstanding job. The children all liked their face paintings. I will definitely refer her to others. Thank you Catherine for a wonderful experience.
Response from Smile On Yu:
Thanks so much Sue; I loved being there for her too!
Catherine was amazing! She was professional and timely. Her designs were creative and tailored to a 5 year old party. She was patient and great with the kids too.
Hired for my daughters 6th birthday party. This was my 1st experience hiring someone to come to my home, so I was a little hesitant. Cstherine made the experience stress free and communicated with me on numerous occasions prior to the event. She was so patient with the kids and did an awesome job! Each kid walked away with their own unique design & was full of glee!!! Awesome artist!!!
