Mandy helped us celebrate our daughter’s 3rd bday party.  Our theme was Hello Kitty.  Mandy came dressed up as Hello Kitty and my daughter loved it!  Mandy kept the kids very interested and entertained with bubbles, balloon animals, playing with the parachute along with music.  All of the parent’s commented on how much fun their child had at the party.  Our daughter has asked several times since the party when she will get to see the “kitty lady” again.  Mandy did a great job and I would recommend Birthdays By Mandy to other parents!

 While planning my daughter's 2nd birthday I was scouring the internet looking for something fun and entertaining to do during her birthday party. I was thrilled to come across Birthdays by Mandy. I called Mandy and she was exactly what we were looking for. Mandy knew what entertainment would work best for our daughter's 2nd birthday party and she was exactly right. Mandy started off the party with these fabulous bubbles (even the adults were trying to catch them), which helped to put the young children at ease. She then went on to do the parachute game, music and dance, story time (she even brought an Elmo book-our theme-nice touch!) and a puppet show with Bananas the monkey. This was a huge hit. The party was a wonderful success with all of the children ages 2-9 thoroughly enjoying the party.  I know that I will be using her again! We would highly recommend Birthdays by Mandy. She made our daughter's 2nd birthday unforgettable!

We contacted Birthdays by Mandy to entertain our son's 2nd birthday. Mandy was very professional about responding to our emails and listening to our suggestions. Our theme for the party was Thomas the Tank Engine and Mandy dressed as Sir Topham Hatt. Her ideas for the party were excellent! She held the attention of our young party guests with such ease. The kids loved her! Ask for Mandy's bubbles; they're magical!  I found a bubble that had not popped 4 hours after the party! We would highly recommend Birthdays by Mandy. She truly made our son's birthday extra special!!

Mandy’s background in drama and child education sets the perfect back drop to make any child’s birthday party a fun and energetic event.  The last party my children attended was hosted by Birthdays by Mandy.  They enjoyed the creative activities and the structured play provided by Mandy.  Birthdays by Mandy is a must for all of your birthday events!!

Recently my children and I had the opportunity to attend a party that was put together by Birthdays by Mandy.  Mandy did a puppet show with Bananas the Monkey.  She kept my BOYS (ages 2 & 4) very involved and interested.  They couldn't wait to see what Bananas would do next!  The party was very well organized.  Mandy was very "in tune" with the children and Bananas is still coming up in conversation months later!

I just wanted to send a quick note of THANKS for Anna's party!  It was a great time and relaxing for me to be able to watch and take pictures.  She's told everyone about her fairy birthday!!  You had many compliments from the other moms too :)

My name is Tami Thompson. I had my son's 5 yr party done by Birthdays By Mandy this past August. What a treat it was. Our family are huge 'Lord of the Rings' fans so Mandy came dressed as Galadriel, the Elf Queen.After she painted each child's face, we played several games that Mandy explained thoroughly to the kids. They had so much fun as each game was titled to relate to the theme of the party. She is patient and kind, holding their attention and speaking to them like the little human beings that they are. My older daughter already wants Mandy to do her 10th birthday next May. I felt the price I paid was well worth it and would gladly recommend Mandy to anyone who is looking for something fun and different for a child's party.

I hired Birthdays by Mandy for my daughter's 5th birthday party for girls ranging in ages 2-6. Mandy arrived dressed as Cinderella and brought necklaces and Boas for the girls to play in. Mandy was great with the girls, played games, put glitter make up on the girls, and even had Cinderella's moves down to a T! My daughter was speechless at first, but all the girls warmed up to Mandy very quickly. The girls were asking several questions and Mandy answered each one and even remembered all the girls names! (had 9 kids at the party). I would definitely hire Birthdays by Mandy again and refer her services as well. Her arrival was a hit and the parents loved it! Their favorite game was Freeze Dance!
