I'm Way Too Tall Torrie an established professional Stilt Walker and Balloon Artist. As an entertainer, I love taking an audience and creating a fun, electric vibe...watching their faces burst into smiles as I create amazing balloon scupltures and wearable art. I make it my mission to get your guests out of their seats and on their feet, dancing along with me. I've worked across the USA and in Canada, at conventions, corporate events and even weddings. I look forward to helping you take your event to new heights and I have over 50 fantastic costumes to fit your theme.
Way Too Tall Torrie is top notch and the best in the business! She is reliable, professional, quick to respond and FUN! We use her for all of our large events and holidays. Our guests look forward to seeing her year after year. She gets our guests out of their lounge chairs to dance and cheers them on with gusto for zany pool competitions. She is a gem!
Torrie was great! She came in on her stilts which made a big impact on the kids! Torrie made sure all the kids were able to have a balloon if not more! She was very social with everyone including the kids. She communicates to let you know what is going on and when she arrives. She pays attention the the needs our party. I would recommend her for any occasion that you are having!
She was amazing and everyone enjoyed her! Great personality!
Way Too Tall Torrie is awesome!!
I have had the pleasure of working with Way Too Tall Torrie multiple times, and she is truly a top notch, professional entertainer. Audiences love the way she interacts with them, and she always gives 110%. Working with her has made me a better performer. I HIGHLY recommend her for any special event!
What a wonderful addition she made to the entertainmemt at our function..she was well received by everyone and a gem at providing laughter and excitment wherever she went in the venue,exciting and a must have for adding a bit of strolling excitment to any function...Bravo Torrie!!! for a job well done.
We had so much fun when Way Too Tall Torrie visited us at my ALF. The seniors loved her!
I am an Activity Director at a large retirement community and I have booked Way Too Tall Torrie on multiple occasions and my senior residents absolutely LOVE her! When they first see her their eyes just light up as their eyes follow her long legs all the way up to the ceiling! She is so funny and keeps them all laughing. She entertains being asked the same questions over and over again like, "Have you ever fallen off those things?" or "How is the weather up there?" with funny answers that keep them smiling even after she has left. I was nervous at first because there is a fine line between appropriate for seniors and being childish, but Way Too Tall Torrie presents herself and her balloon twisting so well it has never been even close to a problem. They all love her and line up for one of her creative balloons!
I will absolutely be booking her again and I will be telling all of my Activity Director friends about her... she is amazing!
Way Too Tall Torrie sure was a hit at our Heights Elementary School Auction. She greeted each guest as they entered the event and later mingled and passed out ballon corsages to our guests. This is the second year that we have hired her for our event and it is always a pleasure to work with Torrie.
Torrie was a great addition to our festival this year! She was great to work with and the crowd loved her! Will certainly consider working with her in the future!
I'm not exaggerating when I say that she was definitely one of the top highlights for our elementary school's Fall Festival! We should have had her there the entire time! She is energetic, entertaining, always positive and the kids love her!
All you need for a birthday party is a back yard, some cupcakes and Way Too Tall Torrie. The kids love her and so do the parents. So much fun.
I highly recommend Way Too Tall Torrie. She attended our school event for our fundraiser and helped make it a success. She is creative, fun and the kids and parents love seeing her. She includes everyone in all of her activities. It shows that she loves what she does. She is awesome!
I have been running the Give thanks Walk for St. Jude for a couple of years and after seeing Torrie at another event I just had to have her. She was absolutely amazing! She was such a huge hit with not only the kids but the adults too. I have already booked her for next year, I know we will get repeat walkers/donors just because of her. She also made crazy balloon hats and danced on stilts to the ZUMBA warm up which got everyone in on the action. Just can't say enough good things about her, she does not disappoint.
We had Way Too Tall Torrie for our son's "angry bird" 4th birthday party. She was dressed to go with our theme - made bird balloon hats for the kids and kept 15+ 4 years old entertained in the hot Florida sun! We loved her so much we recommended her for our pre-school's annual fall fundraiser event. She is always a hit!
Way Too Tall Torre was a perfect edition to our Carnival/Circus event. Every year we put an event together for family caregivers to have a day out. Torrie was energetic and easy to work with from the beginning. She arrived on time, dressed and ready to go! She came in and got busy right away entertaining all of our guests. She made adorable balloon hats, wrist corsages and posed for picture opportunities. She went around and really worked the crowd. She made a point to try and get around to everyone. All of the evaluations from our guest said she was GREAT! The committee kept saying she was WELL worth the money. We highly recommend having Way Too Tall Torrie at your next event or Party! She is a joy to have around.
Way Too Tall Torrie was a big hit for our Carnival themed homecoming event. She managed to keep 14-18 year old students entertained, which isn't always easy to do. Would definitely recommend her!
Way Too Tall Torrie was great to my daughter's 5th birthday party. She is great with the kids and they just love her! She contacted me before the event to confirm all party details. Would definitely recommend her!
I needed a new "wow" entertainment for the fundraiser we were having. Way Too Tall Torrie fit the bill. The guests loved it and Torrie really helped get the party going. I got very lucky that she was going to be in my area near the date we had in mind. It was very easy to work with her by phone, text and email. Do yourself a favor and book her now!
Way Too Tall Torrie is always the hit of the party. Everyone from one year old to 101 years old had smiles on their faces during the Pine Island Elementary School Annual Fishing Tournament Oct. 23, 2011. Her balloon making skills are awesome and her ability to get everyone involved is great. The Matlacha Hookers, a non-profit organization that raises monies for our island school and charities LOVE Too Tall. She also 'stilted' for the Matlacha Mariners, another island non-profit organization for their annual Mullet Toss compteition March of 2012. Again, she displayed her love of her job by joining in and throwing a mullet! I love the way Torrie dresses for each event whether it be a fisherwoman or a chef!
Too Tall Torrie helped us with our fundraiser and she was amazing! Great with kids, entertaining, hard working, and really made our event fantastic. I would highly recommend her for any event! Well worth the money!
If it wasn't for Torrie, our Annual Fall Festival in N F Myers would have not been as successful. It rained the entire time of our event and Too Tall Torrie was up underneath the pavilion and entertained the faire goers without a hitch. Fun with the kids, entertaining to all. She was well worth the money. She will be back this year again on October 26th. Great job Torrie!!
Way Too Tall Torrie has done corporate events for our radio stations and she brightens the room! We always look forward to having her and making our events that much better! I highly recommend Torrie!
We've had Too Tall Torrie at many of our events. She adds an element of fun that few others can bring! The children surround her with joy & excitement as she creates balloon animals, dances , and keeps the event entertaining ! She is definitely a great addition to ANY event! The Butterfly Estates will continue to rehire her, without hesitation.
Our Church has hired Torrie on a number of occasions. The kids just stare in amazement because she brings a unique form of entertainment to every event. She has a radiant personality which is very magnetic and skills that are very professional. Best of all, her prices fit most every budget.
Way Too Tall Torrie is non stop fun from the moments she enters the room...and who can miss her! She make awesome balloon animals and more and the kids just LOVE her! We can't wait to have her back for another event soon!
We booked Torrie to participate in our Old Home Week Festival in July. We selected her strictly from seeing this website and reading other reviews. What a great decision that was. She is a delightful entertainer. Torrie, in her "Uncle Sam" costume, strutted down Main St in our parade and delighted everyone around her. The comments from attendees were numerous and all raved about her. As chairperson of our town's Festival Committee, I was asked to be certain to book her for all of our festivals in the future, which I'm happy to do because Torrie is a true professional and a complete pleasure to work with -- even at a long distance.
Thank you, Torrie, for adding so much to our festival.
I have utilized Way Too Tall Torrie for several school events. She has been a referee for our Walk-a-thon event where she kept the kids motivated and excited. She has been a very big elf for our Pizza with Santa event, outshining even Santa himself. And she came dressed in a dazzling tuxedo for our school's auction event greeting guests as they arrived. Grown-ups and kids alike enlighten when they experience the always friendly, bubbly and amazing girl on stilts! Her wardrobe is amazing too, I might add, having more outfits than me! We love Way Too Tall Torrie!
Way Too Tall Torrie came to our office Christmas lunch last year - as an 8' tall Elf. She was great! She got everyone laughing and enjoying the moment - even getting balloon hat on folks I never thought would wear one. We look forward to having her back!
I hired Way Too Tall Torrie for my sons 10th birthday. She burst into the party with so much energy and fun. The kids loved dancing with her, playing a cool game of limbo and dancing. She is really talented on those stilts and very agile. The hour zoomed by so fast and everyone (including adults) LOVED her balloon creations! Would hire her back for sure.
Way Too Tall Torrie was a hit at Edison Park's Spring Fling! The kids followed her around: asking question; getting balloon art from Torrie and posing for pictures. She was animated and sociable the entire time and was a fantastic hit! Beyond that, I have seen Way Too Tall Torrie in parades and at Red Sox games -- with the same wonderful upbeat attitude and crowd pleasing fun!
Six Mile Charter Academy recently hired Way Too Tall Torrie for our fall festival. Our theme was the United States and Torrie came in costume as Auntie Sam. The students and parents loved her. She's very personable and was an asset to our event. I'd definitely would hire her again.
I was lucky enough to have Way Too Tall Torrie perform at a local event beside me. It was a baby show and I was not surprised to see that kids were dragging their parents over to my booth to see the giant lady. She had the kids laughing and smiling while I talked up my services with the grown-ups. Everyone loves Torrie! She's sure to be the hit of any show!
