“I hired April-Anna for my daughters eighth birthday this past September (2015). We had twelve kids ranging in age of 4 to 8. I was extremely impressed with how calm and professional she was during the two hour session. The children were delighted at the range of designs and themes. I would definitely hire her again.”
