We celebrated my son's 3rd birthday at the daycare with Korene and Fortune Kookie Fun! Korene joined us for an hour dressed as a lion and performed the lion king for 12 kids. . She included balloon twisting as a part of the act. They had soooo much fun!! Amongst the chaotic 3 year olds, she was so calm and fun... We LOVED her entire set! More...

I just had my son's 5th birthday today so I'm still on a high from how much fun the party was and it was in huge part to Korene and Fortune Kookie Fun! Korene joined us for 2 hours and performed face painting and balloon twisting. She is a PRO with these kids' birthday parties. She is SO organized! Amongst the chaos, she never once lost her cool. She has her system DOWN! We had 26 three to five year olds running around with 5 - 10 of them hovering around the balloon/face painting station at any given time perusing the awesome menu of popular face painting styles and balloon characters which made it easy for the kids to choose exactly what they wanted and to move through the waitlist quickly! Most of the kids opted to do the face painting so I didn't get to see all the epic balloon characters that others have written about, however Korene made an INSANE Thomas the train balloon for my son before the party and presented it to him when she arrived. It was truly a piece of art! I hope it last a very long time. :) I received a ton of texts from the parents after the party telling me how fun the party was and how much their kids LOVED the face painting and balloon twisting. I'm so grateful to Korene for adding so much wonderful energy to our party and entertaining all of our guests. Lastly, I want to thank Korene for her responsiveness and flexibility with the last minute location and time change to the weather! More...

Korene and Magicdale duo came for my child's birthday party, and it was amazing, exceeding all of our expectations. Korene's birthday balloon gift was truly impressive and I already considered the party a huge success. Magicdale's magic show mesmerized the whole group of six-year-olds. They stomped their feet, shouted, gasped in amazement, and laughed. Korene's balloons for each child were beautiful and thoughtful. They were kind individuals who did everything possible to make the event successful. Thank you very much! More...

We hired Korene at Fortune Kookie Fun for my son's 1st bday this past weekend and she was fantastic! I received so many compliments on Korene that she was so talented with her face painting and balloon artistry skills. She came on time with her belongings and an umbrella in a lion costume ready to engage the crowd of 25+ kids ages 0-12. I would definitely hire her again for a future party. More...

Fortune Kookie Fun is awesome!!! I have had Korene do balloons for a couple events for me. One for my son and one for my daughter's birthdays. All the kids were happy with their designs and she took custom request. She made special balloons for the celebrant which were nice. I love how she asks details about the event like colors and themes. Then she design the special balloons and  dresses in costumes that matches the event. She has been punctual, professional, and pleasant making the parties all the more festive! More...

We hired Fortune Kookie Fun for our daughter's first birthday. Korene was a big hit at the party, and she made sure every kid got a custom balloon design. Her designs were elaborate, often using multiple balloons in different colors. She even arrived with a 3-foot panda to match the theme of the party. She used high quality balloons that even looked great the next day. <br><br>We were very happy with the service and would definitely use her again. She was a breeze to book and arrived on time and ready to go. More...

Korene provides fun, high quality birthday party entertainment.  We recently booked her for our daughter's third birthday and she was fabulous.  She came with partner, dressed to support the theme of the party and provided amazing balloon and face painting art to lots of happy kids.  Many parents commented on the quality of the artwork.  She was also very professional and easy to work with over email.  She is the kind of person you want to book for a party and would highly recommend her.

I had the joy of seeing Korene at a birthday party and thought it would be great to get her for my daughter's bday.  The prices are pretty comparable to other artists, based on my other research. <br>She was so patient and loving to all the preschoolers around!  The princess balloon she made for my daughter was amazing!  She did a great job with the kids and talking with them while working.  The teachers and parents raved about her for the rest of the week.<br>I would definitely recommend her above all the others because she was so professional and amazing at what she does!

Korene and Dale were amazing today. We had Fortune Kookie attend our party with face painting, balloon animals and magic show. They were a hit and busy the entire 3 hours at our party. Korene brought a gift of a balloon sheep for our Chinese New Year party and it was beautiful. They did such beautiful fave painting that the moms got them done too and kids lined up for more than one balloon. Thanks to Korene and Dale for making our party so much fun! More...

I saw Fortune Kookie (Korene) at my neighbors party last year. All the kids had so much fun. I called Fortune Kookie to do face painting and balloon art for my daughter jenni's 5th birthday. Fortune Kookie suggested story time, she would read a book to the kids. I thought that was a good idea. Jenni's birthday party was at the park with 15 kindergartners. Fortune Kookie and Magikdale (dale) showed up and was cute dressed in clown costume. All the kids waited for Magikdale to do their balloons. They were so excited to see him twist balloons into animals, flowers, hats, superheroes and dolls. Face painting was a hit too. Fortune Kookie painted the kids faces which looked so unique especially the animal ones. Jenni loved her painted lion on her face. All the kids were so happy to have their face painted. She read Dora the explorer book which is jenni's favorite. All the kids were focused on her story. I was very pleased with her performance and her interaction with the kids. I would highly recommend her for other parties. More...

Thank you Korene (Fortune Kookie) for a fantastic party.  Planning was my daughter's 6th birthday was easy, especially on only 2 weeks notice.  Korene was flexible and professional, and responded to all my questions and requests promptly.  The party was outside at the Alta Plaza Playground in Pacific Heights, and despite it being a surprisingly cold windy day Korene delighted and entertained the kids. She performed a funny magic act that the kids loved and happily made ballon animals, light sabres and flowers.  She also did a great job with makeup faces that the 5/6 year old girls loved.  I highly recommend Korene.

We first saw Korene as Mrs. Claus at the Embarcadero Building Lighting in November.  It was POURING rain, a lot of the festivities were cancelled, and Korene was right near the skating rink and was beseiged by kids and parents who were determined to save something from the evening, which meant she was inundated with requests for balloon animals.  She handled all this with great grace under pressure.<br><br>When it came time to hold my son's 8th birthday party, we thought of Korene for the entertainment.  We hired her to do a 20 minute magic show for 25+ kids, followed by an hour of balloon twisting (making animals, crowns, etc) and we were delighted with the result.  Korene took all the noisy kids in stride and entertained them well.  We whole heartedly recommend Korene and her coworker Dale to entertain a group of any size!

Korene, and her coworker Dale, recently designed and executed a lifesize "Stevie Wonder" balloon for our company's expo booth.  Not only did she deliver a balloon person that stood alone and was true to life (without being offensive), she was also extremely creative in adding a floating keyboard and braided hair etc.<br><br>At the best, attendees walking by wanted to stop, talk, and take a photo at our booth (great advertising), and at the very least they walked by and smiled commenting on how much they loved it.  Our booth was called "best in show" and was featured in the top 10 of the HUNDREDS of booths on the floor: <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.eloqua.com%2Fdreamforce-sideshow-the-best-booth-attractions%2F&amp;s=89b03364cec5ea948dbe1f91c0fe352dd900ecc3a4b4ec6dd7f98be6e493766c" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">blog.eloqua.com/dreamfor…</a><br><br>Great experience overall!
