We require a $100 deposit to reserve your date and time. You may pay the remainder of the balance on the day of your party before the start of entertainment in cash. Please note: there is a 4% processing fee for all credit and debit card transactions.

Our availability is extremely limited. Please reach out as early as possible to reserve your date and time. We recommend that you book your event at least one month in advance. As long as we still have availability on our Book Now page, we can take your booking.

We recommend inviting your guests 30 minutes to an hour before having the entertainers arrive. It’s usually better to have the entertainers arrive a little later than your guests.

We split the entertainment time into thirds.

For the first third, we do individual activities: Balloon Twisting, Face Painting & Temp. Tattoos, Cotton Candy
For the second third, we do group activities: Games & Dancing, Bubbles
For the final third, we do a magic show and the crowning ceremony.

So, for a one-hour party, each third would be 20 minutes.
For a 90-minute party, each third would be 30 minutes.
For a 2 hour party, each third would be 40 minutes.

This is a loose template. Our entertainers are trained to emphasize whichever activities your guests are enjoying most.

If there are more guests than expected, we prioritize individual activities over the group activities.

We proudly serve Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, The Bronx, Staten Island, Westchester, Long Island, and New Jersey. If your event falls outside of these locations, contact us at (646) 961-4808. We never want to miss out on a good party!

We have done events everywhere from small studio apartments to huge auditoriums. We will do our very best to work with the space provided.

NYC Birthday Clowns loves animals as much as we love to celebrate, so we never use them in our performances. Please consider the well-being of our animal friends before soliciting any company that forces prey animals to perform for entertainment. 

NYC Birthday Clowns packages are priced for the amount of time that the entertainers spend at your party. Clients are welcome to cut activities and/or rearrange the order of the party activities however they like. The price of the package will stay the same.

All balances must be paid in full on the date of your event before the start of entertainment in cash only.

Gratuities are appreciated and are not already included in our package prices. Recommended gratuities are listed on every contract.
