How to Choose the Right Entertainment for Your Event: A Fun, Easy Guide

Planning an event in Cincinnati comes with a long list of decisions but one of the most important choices you’ll make is what entertainment to bring in. The right entertainment can set the tone, elevate the atmosphere, and give your guests something to talk about long after the party ends.

As a professional entertainer with 12 years of experience, I’m here to help you figure out exactly which option fits your celebration best!

🎨 Face Painting: A Hit for All Ages

Face painting is a classic for a reason — it never goes out of style. While the traditional butterflies, tigers, and superheroes are big hits with ages 3–12, adults and teens are some of my favorite canvases. Whether it’s elegant eye designs, festival-inspired florals, or a classic face painting design, guests of all ages love getting in on the fun!

🎈 Not Your Average Balloon Twisting

When you book a balloon twister, you want more than simple dogs and swords — you want something exciting, fast, and customizable. That’s exactly why my balloon package is called Not Your Average Balloon Twisting.

As a professional balloon twister and certified balloon twisting instructor, I specialize in designs that are eye-catching, detailed, and surprisingly quick. Guests love watching their balloon come to life, and parents love how smoothly the line moves thanks to my speed and experience.

What makes this balloon twisting “not your average”?

✨ Fast, impressive designs that wow guests without long wait times

✨ Theme matching — I love creating custom designs to keep your event on theme

✨ Unique creations that go far beyond the basics

✨ Fun interactions that keep guests entertained while they wait

☀️ Airbrush Face & Body Art: Perfect for Hot, Humid Weather

Planning a summer party? Hosting an event outdoors? Airbrush face and body art is your best friend.

Airbrush designs are:

• Sweat and water-resistant

• Fast to apply

• Great for active, outdoor, or high-heat events

• Ideal for teens and adults (hello, realistic temporary tattoos!)

This option is especially popular for festivals, pool parties, sports events, and corporate gatherings where durability matters.

✨ Glitter Tattoos: Long-Lasting Sparkle

If your event includes water activities — swimming, splash pads, or just outdoor fun — glitter tattoos are a perfect match. They’re waterproof, vibrant, and can last 3–7 days thanks to cosmetic-grade, skin-safe adhesive. Kids love choosing their designs, and adults love how long the sparkle sticks around.

🫶 My Swiftie Party Package: A Must for Taylor Fans

This one is for the Swifties! My Swiftie Party is a full-on, friendship-bracelet-making, sparkle-filled experience that Taylor fans of all ages adore.

The guest of honor picks their favorite era, I arrive dressed to match, and you choose one themed service — face painting, airbrush tattoos, glitter tattoos, or even balloon twisting. I also get told regularly that I look like Taylor, so there’s always a fun double-take moment or two!

If you want a unique party that feels like stepping into the Eras Tour for an afternoon, this is it.

✨ Glitter Bar: Glam for Teens, Adults, and Special Events

My newest offering — the Glitter Bar — is quickly becoming a guest favorite. Glitter bars are perfect for:

• Teen birthday parties

• Bachelorette parties

• Proms or dances

• Galas and corporate events

• Any celebration where guests want a little ✨extra✨

I recently set up a glitter bar at a formal gala, and guests in gowns and suits absolutely loved adding sparkle to their look. It’s an instant mood booster and makes every outfit pop.
