Nice Reviews about our Traveling Mobile Petting Zoo Party! smile
This is such a great service - the price is right, and they arrived on time and were set up in minutes.  It was very easy and mellow.  The kids were allowed to hold the animals all they wanted and the face painting was gorgeous.  They even brought a gift for the birthday girl.  Highly recommended!

Good Morning Dawn, this is Jeannie M.,
You came to Bridgette’s birthday party on Saturday in La Selva Beach .  I just wanted to call and thank you for doing such a great job!  I was really impressed with everything and it turned out really well.  The Petting Zoo and Face Painting made the party so special and I really appreciate that.  I would love to recommend you to other families and just wanted to thank you so much.

Hi Dawn,
It’s Pastor Connor from Calvary Chapel.  I just wanted to thank you for helping us make our community event so successful.  The turnout was much more than we had hoped for and I know was due in part to the wonderful entertainment you provided for us.  Everything was great from the Pony Rides and Petting Zoo to the Bounce Houses and your employees were very helpful and nice to work with.  It was a great day!
Thanks so much again,
Pastor Connor

Dawn,
On behalf of GEC Plessey Semiconductors employees and family members that attended our Mardi Gras picnic on June 29, I would like to thank you for sharing your wonderful talents that afternoon.  This company sponsored employee family picnic was one of our most successful events ever.  As always the children loved your face paintings, balloon sculpturing, and bubbles.  I’ve really enjoyed the opportunity to be a repeat customer of yours.  Your professional business attitude and organization is quite refreshing.
Thanks again and enjoy the photos,

Dear Dawn,
Thanks so much for the wonderful entertainment your company provided for our Holiday Party.  The Song and Dance, Puppet Show, Face Painting, and Magician were the best!  Your contribution really “made” our party the best it’s ever been.

I wanted to thank you so much for the wonderful party you provided for Melisa on Sunday 3/21.  You were all so wonderful and kind and we could not have made the day so memorable for her without you. You are a gift to people who come in contact with you.  On behalf of Melisa and Family I thank you for your kindness and all your time, gifts, etc.  You are the best.
God bless you all,

Dawn, good morning.
I wanted to thank you for everything on Saturday at McKenna’s birthday party.  I am so glad you were able to make it as you clearly are the expert on these things!  You did a wonderful job and made everything so seamless.  The kids were very well entertained.  The animals were so beautiful and sweet and Elmo did great.  Thank you for making our big day so special.  You are an absolute delight to work with! I will happily refer your business on to others.
Best wishes,
Amy B.  Los Gatos, CA

 
To Big Bird and Elmo,
Thank you for coming to my birthday party.  I could not believe you actually came to my house!  I always like to look at the pictures and my mom is going to put together my two year old birthday party album, so I will always have your pictures to look at.  Thanks for the coloring book and special treats you brought to my party!  Are you free when I turn three?
Thanks Again!
Love, Billy

Dear Dawn,
The party went very well, and all your personnel were great and arrived perfectly on time.  Both the kids and the adults loved the magician, and the kids thought the ballerina very pretty and sweet. It was a pity that most kids had to leave early so the ballerina didn’t get to teach them to perform. I just want to make sure that she knows how much the kids liked her (Ellen was probably too shy to let her know this) and the parents were very impressed with her face painting, I would absolutely love to have her come again next year!
And I want to thank you for being so professional and helpful, it has been a great pleasure working with you, especially because I didn’t shop anywhere else and I didn’t even meet you in person, I just knew that I could trust you. Thank you, and I hope your business continues to grow.

Dear Dawn,
I just wanted to thank you for the great service you provided us again! We did a jump house and face painter last year…which was a lot of fun…and this year a jump house and your magician.  The jump house was good and your Magic Show was awesome!  He had both the kids and adults laughing the entire time. He far exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend him for good natured family entertainment.  Thank you again, I will definitely be in touch for future parties!!!
Sincerely,

Hi Dawn,
I just wanted to let you know how great Dora and her helper were last Sunday at Angela’s party.  Dora was fantastic and so good with the kids and the activities they did were so fun!  Angela can’t stop talking about it, Dora actually came to her party!  It was so special for her.  It was 100 degrees and Dora still had a happy positive attitude in the costume…pretty impressive!  Thank you so much again for providing this service and doing such a great job. Please feel free to give out my name any time for a reference.

Dear Dawn,
I want to thank you for making our son’s birthday a huge success! While it was probably not the easiest day for you (with the rain and all), we wanted to let you know how much we appreciated your extra efforts in getting the pony to us.  Not all companies would have been so helpful, and for that, we’re grateful.  Since Saturday (the day of the party) we have had several parents that attended thank us for a fun party and , of course, the pony rides (that’s what their kids have been talking about).  And for those families that couldn’t make it or heard about the pony party from our son, they we’re equally surprised and wanted to know more about your company.  We will gladly refer you to anyone and look forward to spending more birthday celebrations with you and your company. 
Thanks again Dawn!

We had a great experience with Special Memories.  We had a pony party for my daughter’s 4th birthday, and, for the cost of a gymnastics party, a real pony came to our party! The kids all got pony rides (1 hour total was more than enough for fifteen 4-6 year-olds) and a frame to decorate & then an instant photo of themselves on the pony.  Rainbow the pony was quite the trooper, and Dawn was great.  Easy communication via phone and email.  Highly recommend.

Dear Dawn,
Just a note of thanks for saving the day for Riley’s 3rd birthday and sending someone out on such short notice.  Wish I could remember the name of the gal you sent out (could it be Daya?). Anyway, she did a fabulous job with the face painting, balloons, and puppet show.  She had the whole party under control and was very sweet and nurturing with the children.  Made my day!  Which started out stressful and turned into a delight and a day to remember.
Thanks Again,

Dear Dawn,
I want to let you know the girls had has a wonderful time at Juliannas birthday and your Hula Girl, Nicki, was a big hit!   She arrived on time and was very friendly.  Most of the girls went to school with their faces still painted and they’re still hula dancing around school!

Cindarella,
You were so much fun for our little ones.  Thank you for a great afternoon.  Your soft voice, smooth flow of the party, promptness, and great attitude made for some very happy girls.  Your activities were perfect, the dress ups, face painting, storytelling, and crown decorating craft.  And all the extras that you did, music, special gifts, extra photos… thank you so much.  I wish my girls would stay young forever to invite princess characters like you for years to come.

Hi Dawn,
I just wanted to say thank you for having the Little Mermaid come Michelles birthday this last weekend.  She was wonderful with the children and everything was great from the beautiful face painting to the dancing and star wand making, and the dress ups were perfect!  I also want to thank you for being so professional and helpful and answering all of my questions on the phone.  This was such a great experience from our first conversation to Michelles special day.  All of the children had such a fun time and many of the parents asked about your company and I will gladly tell everyone I know.
Thank you so much again!

Dear Fairy Princess,
I wanted to write and say a very big thank you for making Caitlin, Savanna, and Bianca’s birthday party a huge success. All the children had a wonderful time and the girls are still talking about “their” princess two weeks later.  They have decided that she must be a fairy princess because of the flowers in her hair.  For myself I was delighted since I had been nervous of the prospect of having 15 excited children running around our home.  As soon as the fairy princess arrived there was calm…..they all huddled around the table to watch the face painting….the storytelling seemed to be so captivating…then they all disappeared outside to make crowns!  Anyway, the best part of all was that we adults had a wonderful time too.  The children needed next to no supervision so we were all able to spend time talking with our friends, we even made some new friends!  Once again a big thank you for the party and for being a great person to do business with.  I will not hesitate to pass on your name to other parents.
Regards,
Lizanne

Dear Dawn,
You helped make my 4th birthday so special.  Thanks again for coming and bringing your special friends Pooh and Piglet.  I couldn’t have asked for a better time with the puppet show, twist balloons, and bubbles.  Thank you also for the two special Pooh books.  When I look at them I always remember my special day!

Hi Dawn,
It’s Amy J. and I just wanted to let you know that we had such a good time with Santa and his Elf at our Holiday party last weekend, even the adults enjoyed it!  The kids loved the Christmas puppet show and they are sure that he was the real Santa Claus from the North Pole.  It was so sweet to watch their faces while they were sitting on his lap telling him what they wanted for Christmas and when he told his special Christmas story.  Thank you so much for making our Holiday party so special!  I will definitely be calling you for their birthday parties this coming year.

Dear Dawn,
Once again I would like to thank you for your wonderful contribution to our Children’s Easter Party!  You and your staff were THE BEST and I appreciate all your hard work and creativity. The Easter Bunny Songs were fun and the kids loved the May Pole—I haven’t seen that since I was a little girl.  Everything was perfect from the balloons to the puppet show to the face painting!  I really appreciate you being so flexible and working with plan B for the Easter Egg Hunt—Mother Nature just was not cooperating with us—but despite the weather the kids had a blast!  Thanks again for everything and I look forward to seeing you again soon!image
