Testimonials
Naomi was amazing! She made ballooon animals and monsters that I didn’t think were possible! She got along with both the children and adults at our event! We originally booked her for 2 hours but she was such a hit that we asked her to stay another hour. She accommodated this request and was busy the entire time. I would have to say she was the hit of the event! Highly recommend her! Thanks Naomi for making the evening fun for all!

I have now had the pleasure of working with Naomi for two consecutive years on my company’s event, Jumpstart’s Read for the Record. I can honestly say that her balloons are what make the event what it is. Each year children and adults alike have been thrilled by the spectacle that are her massive balloon sculptures, which look to have been taken directly from the pages of the books we are reading. I will never work with anyone else!

Naomi was great with the kids and is incredibly talented. She was able to make them anything and everything they asked for.
