Rented a costume for Halloween, the nicest people, best customer service I’ve experienced in a long time. Jocelyn is so nice. A very kind gentleman ( I don’t remember his name) helped me carry the costume to my car in the pouring rain..

I have used D&J Entertainment for several events for my business, including face painters, caricature artists, and balloon twisters. They are fantastic and there is always a line of kids waiting for their turn. They are extremely professional and have a wide variety of performers.

My daughter’s 10th birthday was awesome thanks to D and J entertainment. Gumbo the clown was absolutely amazing!! He was funny, entertaining and made sure he painted every child’s face until the last one even though there were many children there...he was so good I’ll definitely be booking him specifically again!! The bouncy house was a hit and for their reasonable prices I would recommend seeking their services for your entertainment needs:)

I been going to this place for the past 7 almost 8 years I even refer them all the time to family members and friends. They are very very professional very very nice greeting voice on phone and amazing customer service. I love it! Lets not forget how amazing and fun they make a kids party turn out to be. My grandson had his 1st bday yesterday Carnival theme and I refer my daughter to this location and the clown along with his assistants were PHENOMENAL. Very full of life the clown person was very outgoing and friendly and he definitely knows how to get a party started. Just wanted to extend my gratitude for always delivering greatness. Thank you.

First, I would like to thank Richard for providing me with the web link and the name of the clown who was hired for my grandsons birthday party. You were so helpful and pleasant.Gumby was FANTASTIC. He was highly energetic and engaged the children from start to finish. The transition was seamless from magic, balloons, dancing, face painting, etc.His personality was not only contagious, but AWESOME.I would highly recommend this business to anyone who is looking for the perfect entertainment for children. THIS IS IT!

I’ve personally used the clowns and magicians services three times and they were great! Very professional, respectful, funny and entertaining! Prompt arrival and was willing to go the extra mile to keep the children happy! Booking was a breeze and services are reasonably priced. I recommended D & J to three of my friends for their parties and they were also satisfied! So to D & J, keep up the great work! See you soon I’m sure!

A great place to get the costumes you want. Customer service is great also. The proprietor takes his time with his customers and helps them complete this costume in order to look authentic. Try this store. Youll love it. In addition, if you need a clown and/or magician, D & J will do an excellent job.

Booked D&J Entertainment for my 1 year old birthday party and was very satisfied with the proformance. I purchase the Clown Package and when I tell you he came and had everyone laughing and involved. We really enjoyed ourselves. We was not disappointed not one bit. Thank you very much for your service. I referred you to a few of my girlfriends, so look out for them. Thank you very much. Keep up the good work!

As I prepared to leave this review I noticed the negative comment before me. Im sorry that the individual didnt have a good experience. I do hope that if she decides to request these types of services again that she will reconsider D&J. I am a long time customer of D & J Entertainment and have never had any problems with their service. From events with my job, to personal parties, they have never disappointed me nor let me down. I recently had Pixie the Clown and the Elmo Character at my neighborhoods annual block party. They were both great, arrived on time and engaged themselves with both the children and the adults for the entire duration of the party. It was over 90 degrees and Elmo didnt even take a break. Pixie was awesome as well. Her Clown appearance was neat, professional and cute. Her clown make up didnt scare the smaller kids and she had a very sweet and pleasant disposition. Pixie was so creative with the face painting. The kids really loved her. D & J will always be my go to shop for entertainment. You should make them yours too.

Wow you wont regret booking here for you entertainment needs! Our performer was a magician named Dee, and literally had everyone laughing so hard, including adults! His magic tricks was amazing too. Even the restaurant staff working my daughters communion party watched and laughed, and complimented how awesome he was! I was totally wowed at his performed, worth every penny! It made the party even more memorable! Will definitely use again for any entertainment needs.

On 12/13, Deans Early Education Academy had a visit from Santa and CeCe the Face Painter. They greeted the children with such patience & love. Their presence made all of the children feel special. We know that D&J is a little more expensive than some other companies, but they are WELL WORTH IT if you believe in QUALITY! Cant wait to see them next year!

My father-in-law gets his grandchildren a surprise for a Passover song each year. This year, the act happened to be Dee the magician. At 8:00 Dee came on time and entertained us continuously for the next hour. He called each of us (12 people were there) up to help him preform a magic trick. We were all in stitches laughing from the very beginning, and his magic tricks were amazing. At one point he made water vanish into a newspaper and later it was poured back out! I would definitely recommend Dee to everyone, and we will absolutely be seeing him again.

Had a great performance by Dee the Magician from D&J last weekend. We needed a magician on short notice and D&J responded with a great price on very short notice. Well I have to say that it was one of the best shows I ever seen with great interaction with the audience! I highly recommend these guys and look forward to the next party to have them back.

I ordered a popcorn and cotton candy machine for our Families Christmas party at the last minute . The driver; delivered, set up, operated for demo purposes the popcorn and cotton candy machines by 10:00am. Upon order placement the company states that they deliver between 9-11am and thats exactly what happened. I have a new company to use for all of my future parties and events. I appreciate Companies that do what they say and when you find one that over delivers they are a keeper....Please keep up the good work!

My friend and I went to D&J Costumes a couple of days ago with intentions of renting costumes, that we were told, via phone, were $70 dollars each. After arriving there, we were greeted by a pleasant, attentive woman who showed us each a costume to our liking. I asked, out of curiosity, the retail value of the suits, with the sales lady responding, $400 for my friends suit and $300 for mine. After trying on the costumes, the owner, a male, appeared from the back of the store, introducing himself. My friend and I explained that we needed the costumes for a four night trip to Vegas, Friday through Monday, in about 10 days. The owner, to our surprise, informed us that, instead of having to pick up the costumes on the way to Philadelphia International airport (we live in New Jersey, more than an hour from the costume sore), we could take them with us and return them two weeks later, for no additional cost, after arriving home from our trip. After talking with the owner some more, which included a mentioning of the retail value of the costumes again, he asked me and my friend if we would be interested in buying the costumes at $300 each. After pausing to think it over, he came back with second offer of $250 each, of which we accepted. Two days after arriving home with the costumes, my buddy noticing the inside tag of the costume, which indicated that the costume was made by a large costume maker in California, specializing in rental quality costumes. I immediately looked up the costume on the companys website, and found out that the costume sold, brand new, for $140. Outraged, I contacted the owner of D&Js, asking for an explanation. I was told, firmly that, No, the costume you found online is not the same costume. He assured me that the costume he sold my friend was $400 new. He made no offer to give my friend a partial refund, or to return the costume for a full refund. Still skeptical, but wanting to be fair, I contacted, via phone, the maker of the costume, explaining what happened and providing the serial number of my buddys costume, just to make sure that the maker didnt make different level quality costumes of the same costume-a more expensive version for rental stores and cheaper one for the public. I was told, unequivocally, by a representative of the company, that the costume my friend purchased from D&J was the same costume on their site, the one selling for $140. She was certain about that.My costume is made by the largest costume maker in the world, but, because it was discontinued years back-I cant obtain any information about it either from the web or via phone, after talking to representatives-I dont know what the retail value is worth. With what has transpired so far, I can only speculate that its probably not worth nearly what I paid for it.I hope the owner does the right thing and resolves the problem, with either a partial refund or allowing us to return the costumes for a full refund.

Normally we would have used Aliesh Entertainment but they were booked on the date that we needed. We booked the Clown, the Blue Monster & a Moon bounce through this company for Saturday June 20,2015. Up until the day of the party I had no complaints with how things were handled. On the day of my godsons party the Clown & the Blue Monster showed up 15 minutes late, took another 20 minutes trying to set up their speaker and microphone and after all that the speaker nor microphone worked improperly. The sound was muffled and filled with static and the clown tried to proceed with his act knowing that the children could not and were struggling to hear them.... I have video which I will be posting on social media...... When I complained about the sound to the clown he repeatedly apologized stating that this is the first time this has ever happened. I told him that its not acceptable to expect me to pay for a clown that we could not hear and that we would not be needing their services if he couldnt correct the problem. Now here today I was charged a $50 cancellation fee for a service that they could not professionally provide. No manager was available to speak to me an the only response I received from the male who answered the phone was dont shoot the messenger check our website and the emailed contract we do not guarantee electronic equipment......WHAT?! IF ITS NOT WORKING AND YOU DONT GUARANTEE IT THEN DONT BRING YOUR BROKEN SPEAKER & MICROPHONE TO THE EVENT! This company is unprofessional and NEVER again will I EVER use their Service nor recommend a friend. Lesson learned: dont wait until the last minute to book your entertainment because this is what youll end up with a Company who can only make excuses for why things dont work instead of fixing them & oh but wait they also charge you $50 for their short comings. :-) NOT ACCEPTABLE...BAD FOR BUSINESS......Guess you have to make your money somewhere!

We have been using D&J for many years. Their clowns are very professional and deliver accordingly. Our favorite clown is Lulabelle. Weve had her at our birthday parties, block parties, and family events. I especially love her outfits and her professionally done make-up is fancy and friendly looking (not scary). Lulabelle makes the kids feel special and makes the time with them fun and happy. Her face painting, balloons, and magic are very well executed. Our kids and our friends kids ask for her by name. When Lulabelle shows up, we know the kids will be taken care of. We love having her every time. Thanks, Lulabelle.... Thanks D&J.
