I cannot thank you enough for the joy you brought to Jonathan's birthday celebration! Melissa you were great and everyone, kids and adults alike, had such a great time with you and are still commenting about it today! I would highly recommend gonzo Group Entertainment! We hired Melissa and Liga for face painting and balloon making for my son's first birthday and they were a hit.

Liga and Melissa were amazing. They were easy to contact and very responsive. The day of they arrived early and were super professional and friendly. They did face/hand painting and balloon creatures for us at my daughter's 7th birthday and everyone loved it. They even provided the music! I highly recommend them!

Liga and Melissa were amazing at my son's birthday party. He turned 7 and we had about 12 other kids, about the same age ( plus/minus 2 years), at the park, celebrating with us. It was a big success. All the kids loved the magic tricks, everyone got to participate. The balloons were also awesome after the magic show.

I highly recommend them. Super professional and really nice ladies!

I hired them for my daughters birthday party and they were great! Very easy to deal with and reasonably priced. All the kids were very happy and excited. Even the adults enjoyed the magic show. The balloons animals I believe was a big hit. Liga and Melissa are so great to work with. My daughters asked if they can come back again for their birthday next year. Will definitely hire them again. Thank you again!

I hired Melissa and Liga for my son's first birthday party, 3/31/19, and they were awesome! They were responsive with booking, scheduling and arrived 10 minutes before they were scheduled to begin. Despite us being behind schedule with smash cake cleanup, Melissa performed an hour comedy show and then made balloons for all of the kids for the entire time they were hired for. Melissa was SO great at including all of the kids and keeping my guests, adults included, entertained for the entire magic/comedy show and balloon making. People are still commenting about how fun the magic show was and

I would highly recommend gonzo Group Entertainment! We hired Melissa and Liga for face painting and balloon making for my son's first birthday and they were a hit. My guests and I were so impressed. They were timely, professional, and overall really entertaining. The kids loved their balloons and face paint. Melissa created unique balloons creations that far exceeded our expectations. She made dinosaurs, beautiful heart shaped princess wands, and even an Elmo for my son. Definitely 5 stars worthy!!

Hired gonzo Group for a Dec 31st event. They were very fast with the balloon animals, which helped (as you can imagine - the line of kids forms quickly, and everyone wants their flower, sword, butterfly IMMEDIATELY)

I felt the communicated very clearly up front, and we easy to deal with. They were reasonably priced, for what they added to the party. Will definitely think of them in the future.

I highly recommend this entertainment company for a birthday party. I hired them for my grandsons 1st birthday party and kids all ages enjoyed the clown. They brought music which was a plus. I've had clowns for my kids birthday parties but this by far was the best one I've had. I would hire them again for my parties. My guest were asking me for business cards as well.

We had the pleasure of having this duo team at our daughter's 1st birthday this past weekend and what a great time everyone had! Both kids and adults were entertained by the magic show which included audience participation and all the kids had the opportunity to get balloons made following the show. They are both warm, friendly people and booking was very smooth. I highly recommend them!

Amazing!! Melissa and Liga are an amazing duo! We hired them for my son's first birthday party and Melissa was able to engage with him, even though he is so young. Kids loved her and adults did as well. She was great to have in our party. Very talented with her balloons. It was a thrill to watch. Liga was extremely kind and responsible!

I can't find enough words to describe how AMAZING my experience was with them! I booked them last minute which I was happy they were still able to make it. They brought their own music, they were great with the kids and parents explaining how to remove the face paint etc. They also made sure that all the kids were taken care of! I couldnt be happier with they work! Definitely would reccomend and use again!

They were awesome!! They performed a magic show and provided face paint and balloon art at my cousins 7th birthday party a year ago and the kids loved them, so I used them for my son's 1st birthday party and they were a hit again. What I loved the most is that they traveled to my home on the southside of Chicago (73rd and Cottage Grove), which we know can be an issue with some businesses, came on time and advised me when their time was coming to an end so that I wouldn't have pay additional costs. I would highly recommend them!

I'm so glad I contacted them to do my daughter's first birthday party. They did such an exceptional job. They were both kind, patient and funny. Everyone loved them. Best face painters hands down. And the magic show was awesome! Thank you again for such a wonderful event.

Gonzo the Clown (AKA Melissa) is a great added feature to any child's birthday party. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed! Melissa and her assistant are so professional. I called and spoke with Melissa's assistance and she was so sweet and informative as to all of the different services Melissa offered. My daughters birthday party was on a tight time schedule, so after speaking with the assistant I decided to go with the face painting and boy am I glad I did. When I tell you parents and my daughters class-mates are still talking about the face painting to this day. My daughter
