I'm sure I've hit a world record for character rentals. I know lots of options when it comes to find Spiderman, Elsa and other princesses. However, this year my kids challenged me with wanting the following characters at their bday parties: one of the My Little Ponies, Pikachu (Pokemon) and Elmo. While I had to go elsewhere to find the pony (probably the most challenging of the requests), Blazing Birthdays was one of the few character rental companies that had both Pikachu and Elmo.
I was most impressed with their communication. Their managing director, Scarlett, was super helpful on the phone and followed up with a very detailed email after our initial phone call. After hearing a bit about my parties we decided on 1 1/2 hours for Pikachu (30 min of Pikachu followed by an hour of balloon twisting) for 25ish five year olds. And then 1 hour of Elmo (30 min of Elmo followed by 30 min of balloon twisting) for 25ish two year olds.
I received a call from the characters the night before both parties, which is a first in my many years of character rentals. I could tell by their voicemails alone that they were going to great.and I was right. Colman was Pikachu and ran around our party screeching "pika pika"- the kids absolutely loved playing with him. After 30 min of playing pikachu disappeared and Colman appeared ready to twist a lot of balloons, mostly swords for this crowd of 4 and 5 year old boys.
He was also really great w/ the kids and had no problem getting their attention. Catherine was Elmo. She ran into some traffic issues so was a few min late to the party, but texted to let me know and was very apologetic so it was no big deal. I was a little afraid of how such little ones (one and two year olds) would react to Elmo, but she was super sweet with them and they loved her.
She (or he) gave a bunch of hugs, posed for pictures and even danced around for them while they ate. And then after Elmo helped my son blow out the candles she reappeared for some balloon twisting. Half the crowd disappeared at this point to make it home for nap time, but the ones who stuck around really enjoyed the balloons.especially my 7 yr old who took advantage and probably had 5 balloons made for just herself.
There are a lot of options when it comes to character rentals, but Blazing Birthdays is the first one I would call next time. Professional, reliable and priced fairly as well. Thank you Pikachu and Elmo for making my boys birthdays extra special!

Thank you so much Blazing Birthdays! Everyone had a lot of fun, especially the birthday boy. I don't think we can thank you enough, you all went above and beyond. Thank you mister balloon twister artist - thank you for making those amazing balloons (kids really enjoyed varieties of balloons he made) and for cool face painting you did. He was so kind and extremely patient with the kids, thank you.
Thank you ELMO! He was such a hit to everyone; even our adult guests enjoyed dancing and having fun with him. Very funny and entertaining. Thank you for the caricature artists, they were lovely. We are so glad that they were there. Their creations were the best party favors for our guests. Everyone was so pleased with their caricatures, really talented!
Thank you Scarlet and to everyone from Blazing Birthdays. You guys are truly the best. Looking forward to working with you guys again and seeing you soon (we told everyone that they need Blazing Birthdays for their parties!)

NOT PROFESSIONAL, NOT VERY ACTIVE & NO RESPOND TO PHONE CALLS. Please take your business elsewhere. For months I had been planning for my kid 1st birthday but Blazing Birthdays turned into a disaster. I paid $100 to Kevin & $100 to the performer, Janet that promised to do 1 hour of birthday song with dancing, balloons twisting, a little of magic then costume change.
The performer arrived 20 minutes late than scheduled time and didn't have a curtsy to notify me that she will be late. She did the balloons twisting for 25 minutes then took her 15 minutes to go for costume change for 5 minutes photo shoot and THAT IS IT. I called Kevin & the phone # as listed on the website & left my messages but no one pick-up nor respond to my phone calls. NEVER AGAIN WITH THESE PEOPLE & ZERO star if I had option.

We rented out the Elmo Character for my daughters first Birthday. Prices are not listed on the website but if you call the number (I believe her name is Lynn) is almost always available to answer questions and give information. She's very friendly and nice. The open communication is great. They offer a wide variety of services from characters to magicians, clowns, face paint and balloon artists. Elmo was wonderful.
He was on time and not in a rush to leave when his hour was up. He was really great with the kids. We played games like limbo and sang interactive songs. Elmo read books to the kids and posed for pictures. The energy level was great and all the guests left happy.
