You can also view many of our prices on our YTE Events pricing page as well. The most requested entertainers are shown, though we have many more to choose form.
Some of the top most requested entertainment types are listed below with brief descriptions of what is offered. If you would like more information, some of the categories can be clicked and will take you to a page with more information. Since most of these entertainers are based in Central Florida, we’ve focused on options which are ussually going to be more efficient with pricing. That means there is ussually no additional travel fee and often no minimums for booking time. (This can of course vary with types of entertainment, but is much lower for local artists.)
No matter what you are interested in, feel free to contact us via our event request form. It will go to our offices and someone will be back with you (usually within 6-12 hours) to help find the perfect entertainment for your event. When you complete the form, include your address and just let us know in the comment section you are looking for a local entertainer for your event by typing something like “Looking for a balloon twister near me.” in the additional notes field.

Glitter Tattoos are great for events, especially pool parties or something similar where traditional face paint may wash off. It has a different look and can be fun.
When a statue just isn’t good enough, we can add a living statue to your event! These are so much fun and make for tons of photos and excitement at your event. We have a few different options and can even do custom themed statues as well.

Fire can be scaled to whatever you are looking to accomplish. All shows need a minimum of 2 performers and a safety. A single performer can do fire breathing, but it is priced per breath rather than per hour or per show. (Note: In a bigger fire show, fire breathing is usually included as part of the crowd gathering or as part of the finale.)
Strolling interactive characters can always be fun at an event. Our pirates are as genuine as you can get as they routinely perform in reenactment shows across the state. Trained in the art of improv, interactive comedy, and the language of a pirate (but not a sailor), they are sure to be a hit at any event. Pirate shows available as well!

Let us know what you are looking for and we can put something together for you and connect you with the artist most talented in your specific type of body art. We can do neon paints as well so that your models will glow in blacklight!
Our henna artists use actual henna which safely will stain the skin for up to 2 weeks.
