What Parents Say 💬

"Booked Kat for my daughter's 6th birthday and she was brilliant — so patient with a big group of excited kids, and the designs were beautiful. Would book again in a heartbeat!"

Liam, Horsham

"Friendly and professional. Kat was very helpful and went through what we would like at the wedding reception. There ended up being a long queue at times just because they were so popular with both the kids and adults. At times there were people literally sprinting to get to her, it was amazing. All of the designs turned out wonderful. Highly recommend. If I could give more than the 5 stars, I would :)"

Lisa K, Brighton

"We booked Kat for a 2h session for our company summer party and everyone loved her! The designs were all unique and really added to the happy, diverse vibe. Kat herself is super easy-going and professional. Arranging everything was very easy as well. Would 100% recommend!"
