Testimonials
Hi Donna
Just wanted to say huge thanks for the amazing twisted balloon sculpture you made and delivered to a young family member. He's been at home feeling unwell and a little sad. You absolutely made his day. He had never seen anything like it before! The sculpture was stunning. A great alternative to sending flowers or chocolates. Thanks again.

Hi Donna,
An absolute HUGE thank you for making Bella's party so incredibly memorable and special! You are AMAZING! You had the children (and adults) totally captivated and entranced. Charli told us she just about fell over she was laughing so hard when you were doing the magic tricks. We cannot thank you enough! Please keep doing what you are doing and we will be certainly telling people how fabulous and totally bedazzling you are. Thanks for the smiles, laughter and wonderful balloon creations.

Hi Donna,
Thank you so much for today. Everyone had a great time little people and bigger ones too. Amelie just adored her party, she loved it. And she is sleeping now with all her balloons and unicorns in her bed with her. I don't know what will happen during the night. Thanks again. You really are good :-)
Kind regards, Agnes
In December 2013 we had the privilege of having Donna perform two Balloon/Magic shows for the Junior students and the middle / senior students. During the two shows the students were certainly BDazzled by the magic and balloon creations. Donna is a very skilled performer who is able to adjust her shows to ensure age appropriateness. She cleverly weaves humour and stories into her shows and uses students as performers. Consequently student engagement and participation is high throughout the show. I would have no hesitation in recommending Donna to any person(s) who is looking for a highly entertaining and engaging show for children.
Yours sincerely, David Bell, Principal Bellevue School
Sorry it has taken so long to reply but thank you so much for providing such a fun party. All the (big & little) kids had a great time and I have had so many positive comments - My husband said it was the best party in the history of all butler birthdays! All the kids loved their balloons & where still talking about them a week later at nursery. Jacobs clown lasted at least 2 weeks and I popped the base balloons yesterday! you really do have an amazing talent, not only in creating hundreds of unique balloon sculptures under the pressure of the watchful eyes of children & parents, but also in creating an exciting, fun, magical show that kept us all amused & involved for an hour. not everyone could do what you do, nor so well. Obviously everyone at the party has your number so I hope to see you at another party soon!
Kind regards, Clare
Donna approached our school to see if we would be interested in a Balloon and Magic Show. She was looking to raise money for Heart Kids and was happy for half of the proceeds to go towards a school fundraiser. We happily agreed for Donna to present her show to our children. Donna presented two 45-minute shows, one for our Junior School and one for the Seniors. She was well-received by the children and they thoroughly enjoyed her show. We would most certainly have Donna perform again at our school. She is a friendly, bubbly, well organised professional with obvious passion for her work.
Statements from the children included:
“She was really good – I liked how at the start she started to eat paper and then she pulled a long colourful rope out of her mouth”
/Michael (Year 6)
“It was cool – I liked it when she put some tissue paper in her mouth and it came out like a rainbow.” /Rylie (Year 4)
“It was funny because she gave Sophie some balloons but didn’t tie them up.”
/Lara (Year 4)
Kind regards, Zara McIndoe, Deputy Principal, Otumoetai Primary School
