What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Check out the photos and especially the reviews for each entertainer How many bookings does the entertainer have. How many people wrote a review?

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

What kind of entertainment do you want to offer your guests? Be realistic about how much time is needed to offer that service. Allow 30 minutes (or more) for a fun magic show, allow 3 minutes for each balloon creation or face painted. No, you can't offer 30 kids a balloon, in a and a face paint in a 30-to-45-minute time frame, unless you only want simple single balloon like a dog or a sword. Be realistic and do the math.
