Parties by Stacey

It takes a lot for me to rate a 1 star for any business — if there was an option for no stars, I would definitely choose that.
I was invited to a Baptism/​first birthday party of a family member and I recall from previous conversations with my sister-​in-​law there was supposed to be an entertainer/​performer to show up for the children at the event. No one showed up!!! My children including more than ten other children were really upset when we had to tell them that no one was going to come. THIS CRUSHED THE CHILDREN’S HEARTS!!! I know the parents of the children were pretty upset and looked pretty annoyed, as they had to run after their kids and even end up leaving early because of this issue. How can an entity like this, especially for children do something like this?
This gets better…
Parties by Stacey had way in advance of notice for this event (dating back to April) AND a email was sent to Stacey confirming the date and time of the event at least a week before the event and a response came back saying: «Yes, you’re all set!» REALLY??? NO, WE WEREN’T ALL SET.
This has been such a stressful and mind boggling time! It’s pretty sad because the guests STILL talk about it.
I would NOT recommend doing business or referring anyone to Parties by Stacey as they can not deliver what they promise. I feel like this has been a big scam!
What’s even more sad, my sister-​in-​law never received her $ 75 deposit which she paid in April!!!
Such an unprofessional way this has been handled, even to date.

We hired them for a party, left a deposit 4 months ago and they didn’t even show up. No call no answer. Didn’t even care that we had an event. I would never use again and I want my deposit back!!!

Last minute contacted Stacey for my daughter turning 29 and she came through like it was nothing, not saying that you should contact her last minute but was complimenting the fact that she made it happen. Thank you so for that!!!
Molly showed up right on time with face painting and flash tattoos for our 30 something crowd of which everyone within her timeframe (2 hours and worth every penny) pretty much received both. Molly’s adult tattooing was impeccable, gut wrenching silly and truly worth our time. Made the night! Thank you Molly, we’ll definitely be referring and using you and Stacey’s services for any upcoming events.
You two Rock!!!
Thanks again…

I had a face painter/​balloon person and a caricaturist for three hours at my son’s carnival theme party last weekend everything went perfect they really work for their money with the long lines They had because I had 125 people total will definitely place an order for my daughters

I was not happy with Elsa appearance !! She wore flip flops with her outfits her outfit was not even ironed looked very unprofessional … Face painting skills were not good at all … My first experience was good like 10 years ago. But this time I was not happy. Plus I have been trying to contact Stacey via phone but no answer … Will not call again for my youngest daughter birthday party.

Stacey and her staff are very professional and had a blast with all the children! Their artwork is really nice and they interacted well with the kids and their parents. Highly recommended! She’ll definitely be called back and I know I just got her some more business from my friends and family.

I chose this company for my daughter’s 2^nd birthday party based on all the great reviews. I booked a face painter and that face painter called me about 10 minutes before her scheduled arrival time to tell me she was lost. I had to spend time away from my arriving guests to give her step by step directions to my house. A few minutes later I tried calling her back to see where she was and her cell phone went straight to voicemail. She did not show up to the party and never called me to tell me that she was not coming. My daughter and her friends were quite upset, as was I that the face painter did not show up. With today’s technology and all of the GPS services available, it is unacceptable that a business who specializes in traveling to parties has an artist that is «lost». I did contact the owner about this situation and she promptly refunded my $ 75.00 deposit but this does not change the fact that the booked artist did not show up to our daughter’s birthday. Very upsetting!

My kids always like to challenge me when it comes to birthday themes. My 8-​year-​old son has had Minecraft parties the past two years. I’ve had entertainers from Parties by Stacey in the past and was thrilled to learn that they could handle my kid’s theme. We’ve had David two years running now. He comes in full Minecraft regalia and keeps all the kids running, jumping and «mining» while the other parent and I sit back and watch the fun. He is professional, he learns all the kids’ names almost instantly (including a set of identical twins who he kept straight this year), and can paint Endermen (what even is an «Enderman?») with the best of them. Suffice it to say we will continue to call on Parties by Stacey even after my kid moves on to the next weird birthday theme!

We have used Parties by Stacey for over 7 years for different occasions and have never been disappointed. Stacey personally handles most clients — discussing via email/​phone the exact details, any special requests, etc. and then follows up after the event to make sure everything went smoothly.
She has provided a «bootcamp» party for a 7 year old boy, a clown (that wasn’t scary at all), several princess parties, elves for holiday parties, a mad scientist and even a Spongebob! Whatever «extras» I wanted, she arranged those as well… cookies to decorate with all the extras, a pony for pony rides, jumpers, face-​painting, balloon making, etc.etc.etc. I could go on and on!
I never «special request» anyone because I like to get to know all of her performers, and have NEVER been disappointed by anyone she has sent. Most importantly, my children have always been thrilled (as well as my other guests).
You won’t be disappointed!

We booked Stacey’s through Fresh Bros’ Pizza in Westlake for our 4 yr old’s pizza party. Molly was our artist and she was fantastic, extremely professional. She showed up a few minutes early and in brightly colored attire, but nothing too «clownish» or over-​the-​top. She was very warm and engaging with the children, but not cartoonish the way some children’s party artists/​entertainers can be. She had taken the time to read the email about the party details from Fresh Bros, which I know because she recited them back to me (awesome for someone only scheduled to be there for 1 hr). She worked quickly on each kid but did fantastic little face paintings, complete with the sparkles they all LOVED! She even did some of the adults and many kids twice! I honestly cannot say enough about how impressed I was with the professionalism, courtesy, and quality of work displayed by Molly. Parties by Stacey was represented well by Molly! I plan to use them again and recommend whenever possible!

Very profesional and organized. Stacey returned all my voicemail and e-​mail messages in a timely manner. The person who was going to be doing the facepainting called a couple of days in advance to confirm everything and showed up right on time. She was kind, energetic, and friendly. I would recommend this company to anybody having a children’s event.

Needed kid entertainment last minute. Found parties by Stacey on Unilocal.She has variety to choose from. Got a quote for face painting. thought was a lol pricey at first. But when I saw the end results and how much the kids and adults loved their painting s. I knew it was well worth it.

Stacey is a top notch professional, as are her entertainers. I have hired them for my kids parties throughout the years and I have always had the best experiences. They are always on time, professional and reflect the part they are hired for. Most importantly, they are always good with the kids!
Thanks so much!

I hired the Toy Astronut and I have to say, it was a wonderful performance. The children truly enjoyed the performance. The character was energetic and kept the children entertained. I could not have asked for a better performance. The costume itself was very professional looking. It made my son’s birthday extra special and one that he will not forget!

I have known Stacey on a business level for some time now. She is very creative and energetic and does an incredible job of being professional and reliable in her parties. I know several people who have used her services locally and all were beyond happy. I would not hesitate to have Stacey do a party for me for my children or for adults either!

I have worked for several party companies.
All of them cut corners, treat their employees like second class citizens, and provide clients with the bare minimum… EXCEPT Stacey.
She treats her employees and her clients like family. All of her performers are top notch. She constantly invites us to share our skills and keep improving as performers. I will never work with another party company again. She’s the best one out there.
