Questions we hear a lot
What areas do you serve?
We're based at 16 Quarry Rd in Beaver Bank and serve Halifax and surrounding areas — including Fall River, Sackville, Bedford, Dartmouth and beyond. Ask us if you're a little further out.
Are you insured? What paints do you use?
Yes — we're fully insured, which is why schools and corporate clients book us with confidence. Our face paints are cosmetic-grade, and we use quality balloons for twisting and décor.
How do add-ons work?
Add-on prices (bags of cotton candy, candy cups, balloon figures) are only valid when booked together with an hourly service or a package deal — they're priced as extras, not standalone orders.
How do I book?
Text is preferred and fastest: 1 (902) 240-3185. You can also email paythemonkey5@gmail.com. Tell us your date, guest count and what you'd like, and we'll confirm availability and your final quote.
Can you match my party theme?
Absolutely — that's our favourite part. Share your theme and colours and we'll tailor face paint designs, balloon creations and décor to match.
