I can't say enough about how incredible Uncle Bert was at our children's event in Brooklyn! We reached out to him the day before, and despite the short notice, he showed up and completely exceeded our expectations. Uncle Bert made over 100 balloon creations, and the kids were absolutely thrilled. What really stood out to me was how warm, funny, and genuine he was—like he was part of the family. It’s not often that you meet someone who connects with the kids and the community so effortlessly. As a mom, it’s important to me to support talented, kind-hearted people who go the extra mile for our kids. We will absolutely be hiring Uncle Bert again for our next event. Highly recommend!

Details: Festival / fair • 41 - 70 guests • 4 - 6 years old • Simple balloon twisting (e.g., one-balloon dog) • Face painting is not needed

Bert is a delight to work with! And so good with kids! He clearly loves what he does and brings such a good energy to the party . We got both face painting and balloon twisting and Bert did a great job switching between the two and keeping everyone - kids and adults- entertained. On top of it all , he made sure everyone, including adults got a balloon especially made for them. Will def recommend Bert for your birthday party

Bert was absolutely AMAZING! He went out of his way to ensure that my guests were smiling. All of the kids that attended my daughter’s first birthday loved their unique balloon animals. He takes pride in his work and it truly shows. I would highly recommend him for any event. Thank you Bert for making my daughter’s party a memorable one.
