Update: We had another great event with Epic this past week. Our balloon artist was AWESOME! Truly the hit of the party. Thanks Epic! I had the best experience hiring performers from Epic Entertainment! Taylor was incredibly helpful and responsive with details and communications leading up to our event. Day of, the quality and talent of our stilt walker was A+. She was so engaging and made our party more fun with her performance. I will absolutely be using Epic again. Thanks to everyone on the team for helping us to throw such a fun Halloween event!

Great booking experience with Dax and a ton of communication leading up to our event. We booked a Santa and got Santa Tom who was FANTASTIC! He looked like he was out of a Hallmark movie. All of our families spoke highly about him and the way he took his time with the children. One said "you can't get this anywhere else." One parent shared with us that her 10 year old son told her he knew that was the real Santa. There was so much magic Saturday, all because of him. He was EXCELLENT-- we're booking him now for a year out!

EPIC Entertainment was exactly what we needed to wow our wedding guests. Everyone was blown away at the fire dancers. It was the perfect touch to make our wedding fun, unique and stand out! Our guests loved the give their feet a rest, but were still completely entertained.

My wife and I hired a stilt walker from Epic Entertainment for the Hora Loca during our wedding. The stilt walker, Jessica, performed fabulously to the DJs music. Her dancing and interaction with the guests was an extra element that added excitement to the reception, creating ample photo opportunities. All of our guests had nothing but positive things to say about Jessica.

We just had the best experience with Epic Entertainment- we hired 3 clown performers, a stilt walker, balloon twister and an airbrush tattoo artist for my son's 2 year old birthday. They were all a HUGE hit! I will post more photos as I get them but absolutely will use them again. Nice to finally have a local Austin company to book through who vets all their performers ahead of time. Every child and adult was throughly entertained.

INCREDIBLE! We used EPIC to hire Cody Fisher, a magician, and he was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend you use EPIC for any entertainment needs you have, and if you're looking for a magician that will blow you away, ask for Cody Fisher.

We hired a mermaid from Epic Entertainment for my daughters 4th birthday party. She was absolutely amazing! She swam with the kids, painted their faces, had a barnacle tea party with them and told stories of being a mermaid in the ocean. She was so sweet and made my daughters birthday truly magical. My daughter is still on cloud 9 and had the best time! I would highly recommend this company!

Epic Entertainment helped us fill a last minute re-planning of our daughter's 3rd birthday. Through quick coordination they booked Andy who performed about an hour set on the guitar of fantastic children's music. He showed up on time, dressed in theme (yellow), and even through in a few Beatles favorites for the adults. He was SO VERY IMPRESSIVE! We will definitely have him back again and highly recommend him! He went above and beyond for our event and we were very grateful to have him, especially on such short notice. Thank you EPIC, and thank you ANDREW!

We used epic for my daughters 8th birthday and it was great. We had face painting and taylor the magician and both were phenomenal. We highly recommend epic for kids birthday parties.

We hired Epic to provide entertainment at our family friendly fundraiser event promoting Austin Achieve charter school and the Real Estate Council of Austin. There were people of all ages, from 2 80 years old at the event. Our thoughts were to hire Epic to help entertain the kids while the adults enjoyed the live music and food/drink. This lasted about 2 minutes and before too long, there were many adults surrounding Epic's magician in awe of his tricks!
He was the hit of the event and many people afterwards were asking how we found him. I highly recommend Epic Entertainment. They were punctual, professional, and very fun for all ages. Would definitely hire again!

Taylor was a complete delight to work with, he took the leadership that I needed to arrange all of the music & fire dancer acts so that I could enjoy my wedding reception. Everyone still talking about the fire dancers! Thank you Taylor for your professionalism & follow through, we will definitely use your expertise again!

Am so glad we went with EPIC Entertainment, Taylor and Daniel specifically. They delivered the gospel in a fun and exciting manner. The kids and parents had a blast! So many positive comments from ALL afterwards. Highly recommend to anyone.

Worked with Taylor this weekend providing some fun options for my husband's birthday party. So fun! The staff he sent out was amazing at keeping everyone involved and we all had a great time. My friends can't wait to do it again!
