"Thank you so much for finding David for us for the
wedding, he was perfect, and went down a storm. Apologies for the fact that I
think the two little bridesmaids followed him everywhere, but then he was making
the most amazing things with balloons, so what more could he expect!! anyway he
was brilliant, and the wedding appeared to be enjoyed by all, especially the
Bride and Groom which is, in the end, all that mattered!" (A+D)
"David was definitely the highlight of the evening and
he was the main subject of conversation on the Monday following. He was a great
personality and amazing entertainer - everyone just loved him! We were very
lucky to have him and he helped make a fantastic evening" (S D)
"Thank you much for an excellent job at our
Celebration Party yesterday. Many of our guests commented on how fabulous your
magic tricks and balloon creations are. I would also like to thank you for you
professionalism. As a busy party organiser on the night not to mention having to
give a speech it was reassuring to see you confidently working the room and
producing squeals of delight. You arrived on time, got on with the job and did
it really well, with the minimum of fuss and to maximum effect. Once again,
thank you." (F + M)
"Hi David, Just to say a huge THANK YOU for making our
wedding day extra special and very memorable for all who came - everyone has
been raving about you. It was really kind of you to stay for so long as well.
Thanks again. All the best" (N+J)
