Gina,
On behalf of the students at the University of Arkansas and my student staff, I would like to thank your team for providing some great options for entertainment. My students enjoyed both the family crests and paparazzi photo booth. John did an amazing job and we appreciate him spending a Friday night in Arkansas.
I know we will be utilizing your rentals in the future. Please let me know if you need anything from us.
Thanks,

“Gina, I just wanted to say thank you so much for working with us! The Chair Massages and Candle Creations were awesome and the students loved it! We had about 200 people show up to the event, and everyone commented that they wanted something like this at the end of every semester. The vendors were great, and everything ran so smoothly. Please pass along my thanks again to them. We will be working with you all again in the future! In fact, I was wondering about your Fortune Teller (for a welcome back, how is your semester going to be sort of thing) in January, and the Pucker Up Impressions for Monday before Valentines Day? Thanks again!!” Alaura Marriott, VIP Campus Tour Guide, 2012 Orientation Leader

John,
We would like to thank you for doing an amazing job at our biggest event of the Fall semester! All your novelties were a great success on our campus. I really do appreciate you being so cooperative and helpful. Sincerely, Blanca and Mike

Dear Gina,
YES! The event went great! I was very impressed John: he came early to set up, didn’t need any help doing so, was a charmer to all the students and really helped make the event snazzy as part of the “paparazzi” for our Hollywood Themed event–he even worked with our graphic designer for a custom photo background! I asked him to make all the students feel special, even to the point of “letting” them convince him they needed “free” pictures…he was just great. I will definitely consider bringing him back in the future. Thanks again!
Sincerely,
Marie Mainard O’Connell

Gina,
I had been meaning to write to thank you for a great event. Our artist, I believe his name was Chad, was wonderful. He worked really well with the students and had a great attitude. The keychains looked excellent and were wildly popular, definitely something we will work with you again for. Again I appreciate how easy it was to work with you and how professional both you and your employees are. Bravo!
Sincerely,
Jennifer

Gina,
Everything was great! John was amazing. We were outside with the Homecoming Kickoff Rally for about an hour, but then we moved inside… plus the weather was being crummy. But, he was great and the students loved the program! Thanks for everything!

Gina,
The novelties went wonderful. Everyone liked the pictures with the big chair, cash cube snow globes. John McCloughlin was wonderful. It was a great success. Thanks for your help. And you said you did register as a vendor for us.

John,
That little package you sent of duplicate photos of Union Program Council members at the Union Expo event were spectacular! That was the nicest present I’ve ever received from a vendor. We REALLY enjoy having you — both Ben and I agree! I’m sure we’ll find another time to have you come to do more photo key chains! Thank you again:) I can’t wait to see the faces of the UPC members when they receive their pictures!!!
