Happy Faces was born from my love of creativity, connection, and the simple joy of making people smile. (And the fact that my then 4-year old was WILD about face painting!)

As a professional face, body, and balloon artist, I believe event entertainment can be both beautifully crafted and genuinely fun. Whether I'm transforming a child into their favorite creature, creating a sophisticated glitter look for an adult celebration, or bringing a little unexpected joy to a corporate event, my goal is always the same: to create an experience your guests will remember.

Happy Faces has grown into more than just one artist. For larger events and celebrations, I work alongside an incredible network of talented, professional artists who share my commitment to creativity, quality, and exceptional guest experiences. Together, we can bring the same artistry and energy to events of all sizes, whether an intimate gathering or the FIFA World Cup!

We offer face painting, balloon art, glitter experiences, and more, with entertainment tailored to your event, your guests, and your vision.

At the heart of it all, Happy Faces is about creating moments of connection, surprise, and joy.

Hi, I'm Marissa.
