Testimonials

" You were the reason that Ivy's birthday party was so special and unforgettable! From the moment you walked through the door, the girls (and the adults) were mesmerized with your beauty, grace and professionalism. Ivy and Elle are still talking about your visit ; ) Elle has even suggested having you come to her 6th birthday party in February. Ivy has proudly displayed her Fairy Certificate at the head of her bed and shows anyone who will come and look! Thank you again for making Ivy's 3rd birthday so wonderful! Please don't ever stop doing what you do, as the world would be a less magical place!"

" Thanks again for the wonderful party.... you captivated the kids, both girls and boys. We parents couldn't believe a room full of four-years-olds at a birthday party all mesmerized by you and your story. It was magical! You have a way with you that is gentle and calm but still commands respect from fairy (and dragon and pirate) followers, like a true fairy queen should...."

" It was magical! You were amazing. Brielle talked about you every day since I booked you and ever since. She really believed in you. She really thought you are a real fairy. If kids can have that magic in their heart, it's very special, as it goes so quickly. You truly gave them something that was truly an amazing experience; they all spoke about it afterwards. You were unbelievable. You were magic. You believe in what you do and you want to pass that on to the children. It was far far beyond my expectations. I couldn't believe it when I saw you - you looked just like the pictures -I was shocked! What you do is amazing; you are a real artist. I taught kindergarten for 20 years and I have three girls, so I've had god-knows how many parties, and you were top-notch. I wish we had five hours. Everything from your fairy dust, to your ring - all the things you brought - you are special. You really do it with all your heart, and it shows. Even my husband said it was amazing, and for him to say it was amazing, it was amazing. This world needs people like you. You're so professional. I pay attention to detail, and you didn't miss a thing. Thank you."

" The face painters were wonderful! The artwork they did was exquisite. Lots of beautiful fairies and superheroes around the building! There were many many smiling faces leaving the room whenever I was there. Thanks so much, it was exactly what I was hoping for."

" Thank you Bryony. Everyone had a fabulous time and everyone was very impressed by you - I have had so many wonderful comments. The girls have not stopped talking about it. Every night we ask the girls what they're going to dream about and ever since the party their answer has been "the fairy". Even Milena who was a little reserved at the party has been pretending that she's a beautiful fairy and retells your story over and over. Thanks again and hopefully we'll see you again soon. Happy fairy dusting! "

" Thank you so much for coming to Amelie's party and for making it so magical for her and for the others! We thought that the the trunk of dress up clothes was amazing (as was your beautiful costume!), the timing was excellent and you kept their attention for the whole time which was wonderful. I loved the story and so did the kids (even the reluctant boys were desperate to join in!) I know that all the cards you left were taken by parents and I'm sure that we'll be seeing you again for little Evelyn in a year or two - if not at another magical party. Thanks again for your fairy presence!"

" You were fantastic. Kids, adults, everyone said you were the hit of the party. Napoleon said it was the best party possible. Your relaxed easy going demeanor is calming for the parents who are usually stressed at the point of party launch, and we were able to sit back and enjoy our daughter's 5th Birthday. Thank you for a successful day!"

"Bryony is a facepainter extraordinaire! She illuminates the faces of our event participants - both through the artwork on their cheeks and the huge smiles on their faces after they see themselves in her mirror. Her creations are unique, colourful and creative. She is reliable and professional and an amazing addition to our special events. We would not hesitate to hire her again and again."

" Thank-you so much for coming to Ava's birthday and being such a perfect fairy! All the girls were quite in awe and it was so cute seeing them with their wide eyes. I've never seen 13 little girls be so quiet before! : ) They especially loved dressing up and I've heard from some of the moms that a few of them can't stop talking about the interactive story. They loved it! Thanks again. All the parents thought it was an amazing party."

"Thanks so much for a very special birthday party for Sarah. All of the kids had a great time and from the parents that I have spoken to since, their kids talked about nothing else the next day. The face painting was amazing and the costumes, stories, and fairy dust were magical - thank you again! We were all amazed and enchanted with the whole thing! Keep spreading that fairy dust : )"

" I just wanted to drop a note of "thanks!" You were incredible! The kids absolutely adored you, and my daughter Zoe could not stop talking about you! You will definitely be getting some phone calls from other parents at the party. Thank you so much for coming out and making Pia's 1st Birthday a "fairy magical" one!"

"Bryony's face painting was the hit of our 3 year old daughter's birthday party (with the boys and the girls)... in addition to dressing the part of a princess to the delight of all the kids, Bryony's face painting skills were exceptional ... some of the kids looked like they were heading out on stage at a Broadway play!"

“You made everyone beautiful!”

"Thank you for adding a little 'magic' to our after school program.  It takes a special kind of person to not only handle a number of excitable children but to keep them entertained as well.  And keep them coming back for more.  You are obviously that kind of person.

Thank you again for this enchanting program."

"Bryony does beautiful and elaborate designs.  We were so impressed with her presentation; she is very friendly and has a lovely costume as well.  I would highly recommend her and will hire her again!"

"I would highly recommend the Face Painting skills of Bryony Lake. In 2006 [and 2007-2009] the Kerrisdale Business Association was very pleased to have Bryony on board applying her artistic painting on the faces of the throngs of both young and old participants during Kerrisdale Village's popular Carnival Days events. In addition, Bryony is a pleasure to work with, always a wonderful attribute from the event organizer's point of view."
