A New Twist Balloons and Face Painting

I’ve seen A New Twist Events at a friend’s son’s 1^st birthday back in January. I really liked how they interacted with the kids and the adults so I decided to hire them for my son’s first birthday last month since I was planning a circus theme party.
Amanda was quick to respond to my inquiry via email. In a few days, I had booked a face painter and balloon artist for my party. We originally had Amanda for face painting but since she wasn’t available, Lila called me the day before the party and told me that she was available.
As soon as Marcus and Lila was all set up, they went to work. The kids were so excited to get a balloon from Marcus. He is great with kids and interacting with the adults that I think he may have scored some more clients from my family. He really does an awesome job with the balloons (like Princess Elsa, Princess Sophia, a horse, a dragon and Ninja to name a few). He even made a new Ninja balloon for my nephew when he popped it. Lila was equally awesome with the kids. She was able to ask the kids what they wanted on their face and the kids were happy with the results.
Everyone really enjoyed them and kept saying how great Marcus was. I highly recommend them for your next party. I would surely hire them again.

We hired Amanda as our balloon artist for our daughter’s birthday. She was awesome and definitely one of the highlights of the party. I appreciated Amanda making a special balloon for my daughter as soon as she arrived. Our space was pretty tight but she was accommodating and made her way through the room so each table had a chance to make a request. The bow and arrows (with arrows that can shoot farther than you would think) were popular among the boys and Elsa and flower hats popular among the girls. We had about 15 kids and she was able to make the balloons for all of them in a really packed hour. If you want more intricate balloons, I would follow their suggestion in booking another half hour or an additional artist if available. We will definitely be looking into booking Amanda again in the future — I highly recommend and thank Amanda for help making our daughter’s birthday party a great success!

I contacted A New Twist Balloons about a month before my son’s 1^st birthday party and Brian was available for my date. He called me the day before to confirm the location of the party and time.
He arrived on time and set up his station and got to working. Kids were lined up as well as some adults lol. What can I say he makes great balloon creations. He’s pretty fast too. The kids enjoyed him as did the adults. I can’t complain. I highly recommend. Thanks Brian!

I originally wanted Marcus for our daughter’s 1^st birthday party because we saw how talented he was at another party we attended a couple of months ago. He wasn’t available for the day of our party so Amanda contacted us and told us she was available. We had no idea she would be just as amazing as Marcus! She was very professional and a master at the art of balloon twisting. My guests were amazed by her work. She was also great with the kids. I would definitely recommend her and would love to have her again for future parties!

We attended a birthday party and we had the pleasure of working with Marcus, besides doing a awesome and fantastic job with balloon figures and swords etc which I have never seen great balloon work like that but how as the lines got crazy and lots of kids waiting their turn he always stayed professional as well as always kept the conversation going with each and every child even when millions of questions came flying at him I would definitely recommend this company as well as Marcus to anyone that wants great balloon talent as well as a kid friendly and professional personality. Thanks Marcus for the great ninja turtle and bow n arrow they are still playing with it l!

Amazing. From booking to party. Super easy to work with. At the party, was amazing with the kids and made very creating balloons! Highly recommend !!

Markus and Amanda were awesome at our party and the kids had a gala time… Markus is a magician who had the kids in raptures… Amanda attention to detail in face painting was much appreciated and kids had gala time getting dinosaurs, fairy, flowers etc painted. Would recommend A New Twist to other. totally worth it. Thank you Marcus & Amanda

This team is wonderful! Amanda and Marc know what they do! Professional, attentive to kids. Fun! Pleasure to work with!

We had Marc come for our sons 1^st birthday yesterday and he was worth every penny! I didn’t hang around to see him work, I was busy running around the party, but the balloons I saw all the kids carrying around were amazing. I even saw some kids turn into Ninja turtles, and others into Jedi’s, there were even some Elsa balloons and dinosaurs. I know they all thoroughly enjoyed their balloon characters and heard more than one kid say «best party ever.» Success. This was the first kids party I’ve ever planned and I know in the future as long as we have Marc at our parties, they will continue to be a hit. I’m SO glad I stumbled across this business on Unilocal

We had an amazing experience with ‘A New twist Balloons’. We were looking for a balloon artist and found them through Unilocal.Booking process was a breeze. They also gave me a call two days before the party as a reminder. On the party day, Brian showed up fifteen minutes early and set up his balloon art making station. He was very professional, calm, and courteous. He kept making amazing balloon characters one after the other. I have to say that even our adult guests were very impressed with his work. He made an Elmo for my younger son and it was just cute! He also made characters from Frozen, rainbow, bow and an arrow etc. Everything was great! I did not get to thank him properly before he left the party. I am so glad we hired ‘A New Twist’. We will definitely hire them again for our future parties and will be spreading the word!

Very professial and easy to work with. Even with booking, response Is quick and thorough.

If I could give them 10 stars I would. I booked Marcus & Amanda for 2 hours & they were both amazing. They arrived a little early & went straight to painting faces & making balloons. They both were down to earth & did the best they could to do whatever each kid/​adult would ask for. I HIGHLY recommend them & I will definitely be using their services again.

My wife who isn’t an active reviewer on Unilocal,actually found this company on here and booked something with out even asking me! *shakes head*
«We» ended up booking them for an hour to come to my daughter’s 4^th birthday party. The balloon artist showed up about 10 minutes early and went straight into making some pretty awesome things with balloons (Baymax, Princess Elsa, Minion, bow and arrow, Ninja Turtle backpack with a sword, princess crowns, etc). He worked the entire time, even when nobody was waiting infront of him asking for him to work his magic.
The face painter showed up on time and set up quickly. Took care of my daughter first and did a whole butterfly on her face. She loved it! The artist was very talented and worked well with all of the kids and adults who requested some interesting stuff (Mike Tyson face tattoo, mustaches, Little Mermaid, etc). One noticeable turn off was that you could tell she was a heavy chain smoker… talented artist though.
Although they are a little expensive, it kept our guests and most importantly the kids happy!

Layla came to our party last weekend and as expected, did a phenomenal job face painting. She is a true artist and all the kids had one or two detailed drawings on their body. Great customer service and it was easy booking with them. Would definitely use them again!

I’ve used Marcus twice now, once for my son’s first birthday and today for his fourth and my youngest’s second birthday party. Both times he received raving reviews from my guests… and they aren’t all kids either. I’ve heard plenty of my adult guests ask for a jet pack :). Reliable, impressive, great experience!

Attended a birthday party and A new twist provided the entertainment. All the adults were REALLY impressed with the balloon creations! Im totally forgetting the owners name, but it was a lady. She was very patient (not annoyed) with the kids going thru her balloons, and she was great with remembering which kid wanted what. After looking up prices on the internet, I feel they are fairly priced. I am looking forward to hiring them for our party :)

I messaged them for a last minute request for a birthday party. We booked Brian the balloon guy, he was great! He arrived a few minutes early quickly
set up. The kids loved it ! Birthday boy said «This is the best day ever!»
The kids were so entertained and had plenty of questions for Brian, which he definitely
replied to ! Very patient guy. I highly recommend Brian and the New Twist Co. Definitely look forward to booking them again! Thanks guys!

Attended a birthday party at Serra park on Saturday and Marc was there making balloons animals for the kids. He was great with the kids and his creations were amazing. I was so impressed I got his business card and will tell everyone about him!

Amazing!!! Really creative my son asked for the pentagon and he did it almost exactly

Booking Brian for my daughter’s 3^rd birthday party was the best decision ever! He single handedly made the party a big success — no request was too much for him and he even made my daughter’s day by making her a flamingo.
Would definitely recommend him for kids parties — very creative! Kudos to Brian!
