Mermaid Ariana

I hired Mermaid Ariana for Yelp Richmond's biggest party of the year: Yelp Drops It Like it's Yacht! She was everything I could have ever wanted and so much more! As you can see from the photos, she is beautiful. The sick back tattoo takes her look over the top in the best way. You can tell that she is very passionate about performing and entertaining your guests! From working with her behind the scenes, I can tell you that she is super professional and amazing to work with. She is very communicative throughout the whole process. We texted back and forth from the time I hired her up until the day of the event. She let me know that she needed a place to get dressed and a strong man to carry her to the pool once she got her fin on AKA "masnportation" ;). After she made her grand entrance, she was working the crowd for the full two hours. Perching up on the side of the pool to pose for photos between bouts of swimming around and doing tricks in the water. If you thought that mermaids only appeal to kids, you were wrong! While she would be lovely to have at a children's birthday party, she is also great for adults as well. Mermaid Ariana also does many other forms of entertaining, from fire breathing to aerial. I do not hesitate to recommend her to anyone!

O.M.G. After our event, I asked every guest to name just ONE thing they remember from our special day. Nearly everyone stated something from Nicole's team. The mermaid, the stilt walking, the aerial displays, the party pumpers. We honestly feel she is underpriced because she is...Just. That. Amazing. Without Nicole and her team, we would have had just another boring wedding. Nicole put herself everywhere, even helping transition events so other vendors had time. I have never met someone so full of resources, so talented, and so very passionate about making the customer happy. She is also extremely transparent, often informing us far in advance if she foresees a change or a price difference. Anyone who goes out of their way to create custom outfits for her team - just to match the colors on your special day - is a gem. I cannot WAIT to have the opportunity to invite Nicole back to one of our events!
