Oli the magician was amazing! So great with the kids, so funny, and he had all the adults scratching their heads in confusion trying to figure it out.

Your party questions, answered

Everything you need to know before you book.

Ask us a question
Do you provide kids’ party entertainment across Los Angeles?

Yes! Yombu provides kids’ party entertainment throughout Los Angeles, including Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank, Culver City, Sherman Oaks, and surrounding areas. We also travel across the San Fernando Valley and parts of Orange County for larger events. If your venue is outside central LA, any travel fees will always be confirmed before booking.

How do you handle traffic and parking in Los Angeles?

LA traffic is no joke — so our entertainers plan accordingly. Your Yombu Pro will allow extra travel time to account for freeway traffic, street parking restrictions, or gated community access. If your venue has valet, permit-only parking, studio lot security, or specific load-in instructions, just let us know in advance so everything runs smoothly.

What if my outdoor party is affected by weather?

While Los Angeles has sunshine most of the year, weather can still surprise us. If needed, you can reschedule or move your party indoors up to 48 hours before the event (subject to availability). For park parties or backyard celebrations, we recommend having a shaded or indoor backup option, especially during hot summer months.

Do LA parks or venues require permits for entertainers?

Some LA parks and public spaces require special event permits, particularly for larger birthday parties or events with entertainers. Certain venues may also have rules about amplified music, face painting, balloons, or character performances. We’re happy to guide you through local venue requirements and can provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) if needed.

Los Angeles kids party entertainers on Yombu start at $220 an hour, for balloon art.

Your total depends on the entertainer, how long you book and any add-ons, and you always see the exact price before you pay.
