What parents say
Sabre and Skip entertained families at our employee event recently - they are fantastic! Super friendly and super creative! We had about 250 attendees and Sabre and Skip twisted balloons nonstop for about 4 hours straight - thank you!!!
We've been using Yombu to book balloon twisters for a year now for larger neighborhood events and every artist we've booked has been amazing!
Our daughter had a memorable 5th birthday and the entertainment made the party! I was impressed by the attention to detail.

How many character performers are available in Dallas?
3 vetted character performers currently cover Dallas, all listed above with their real rates and profiles. Each one is background-checked and insured before they can accept a booking, so anyone you see is someone you can book.
Do character performers near me travel to Allen, Arlington and Fort Worth?
Yes — Allen, Arlington and Fort Worth are inside the Dallas area our character performers cover. Each pro sets a travel radius on their profile, and we only match you with someone who genuinely covers your address, so travel never turns into a surprise line on the bill.
How far in advance should I book a character performer in Dallas?
Two to three weeks ahead covers most dates — earlier for weekend parties and in-demand characters like Elsa or Spider-Man, as one Los Angeles character company advises. With 3 character performers serving Dallas, you usually have real choice even on shorter notice, though the best-reviewed pros fill peak Saturday slots first.
What should I expect from party characters in Dallas?
In Dallas, a character visit is typically a 45–90 minute booking: an in-costume visit with songs, games and photo moments. A costumed character visit brings a beloved hero or princess to life right in your living room or backyard — songs, games, story time and photo moments, with the birthday child getting the full main-character treatment. Most Dallas visits run 45–90 minutes.
How long does a character visit last?
Most visits run 45 to 90 minutes. GigSalad reports that one-hour appearances are the most common booking and that many character bookings fall between 30 minutes and an hour; a longer visit leaves room for story time, games and photos without rushing.
Can a costumed character visit work at an outdoor summer party?
Yes, with planning: full costumes get hot fast. Put the visit in shade or indoors, schedule it for the cooler part of the day, and have cold water ready for your performer. Ask whether the character is a full mascot suit or a face character — mascot heads are the hottest and usually mean shorter stretches in costume.
