Clowning Around coordinated an amazing Casino Night for our work holiday party. All of their dealers were fun and engaging. Everyone had a great time, even if they did not know much about gambling. I would definitely recommend them to anyone hosting an event.

Used this company for a Senior Lock-in from 7pm to 7am the next morning. They were very communicative and worked with our budget. 5 stars for Lilly.

However, their time windows were not super flexible and impacted out school day and staff. CA&CA dropped off the 4 items during the school day (Friday) at 10:23am. Our personnel then had to relocated the heavy items and set them up for later in the evening. We also had to break them down and pack them ourselves which was a pain. They were not picked up until Monday morning around 10am.

These guys were really great for our event in Lakeview! Their set-up and breakdown were smooth and quick. The people who manned the games, the photo booth, and the popcorn stand were very nice.

Great company with wonderful customer service! Hired a balloon artist; he was talented, upbeat and in costume. So fun and easy! I would recommend!

I used Clowning Around for a corporate event. Mitch is a very nice and helpful person. I emailed him before leaving this review because I felt bad about it. The service was good. But for the price, I was very underwhelmed. You can see the price list, and you can see what we got. I didn’t do any price comparison before booking CA. This was my fault. I’ve leaned my lesson. I told Mitch this and even showed where we could have purchased some of this stuff and it would’ve been cheaper. I certainly could’ve rented it cheaper. On this fact we disagreed. He said that his price was fair. I asked for some type of refund and he at first said yes, they we went back and forth about how much. I told him I wanted him to decide. I didn’t want to seem like I was threatening to write a review unless I got a refund of some of our money.
After much back and forth, he stopped communicating. I do feel bad because he said a negative review would hurt his small business. That’s not what I wanted to do, or want to do. I just want to share this with anyone who is thinking of using them. Mitch and his team were great. They walked snow cones to people and I don’t deny they were helpful. I just think for what we paid, the best word to describe the value and presentation is “underwhelmed.”

We used Clowning Around for DJ services. Our DJ was great!! It's way more affordable than the other services but even better because the DJ and their dancers are not the star of the show. At Clowning Around it's all about you and what you want.

We rented a few games (air hockey, table tennis, foosball) from Clowning Around for my son's bar mitzvah. They were terrific to work with - very responsive to questions. When we arrived at the venue for the party the games were all set up and ready to go, which was great to see. They were a big hit for the party and the games were all in great shape and easy to play with! Thanks for the great service.

I had a last minute event and Rachel helped me book talent in less than 48 hours! She was dedicated and worked with me until the last second to ensure my event was a success. The talent provided was professional, timely, and an absolute pleasure to work with. We will absolutely use Clowning Around/Celebration Authority for future events, and recommend to others!
