“What I loved about your parties Anna Bananas was how much was packed in, drama, hilarious story telling, music, face painting, dance!! They were rolling round the floor laughing in my house. Somehow you brought even the shy ones out of their shells, got my elder lemon acting!! You tune into children individually, your on their level, they feel that….magic!!”Áine Hayden

“Thanks again for a great job done at Karla’s 6th birthday party,she really enjoyed herself as did all her friends. I’ve had many parties here and I don’t remember hearing as much laughter as I did yesterday. It was magical.”Hillary, Malahide.
“We had Anna Bananas here for our daughter’s 7th birthday party and it was the best thing I think we have ever done! All the children adored her and she kept them totally entertained for an hour and a half. I can highly recommend Anna for a stress-free children’s party!”
Lucy, Stillorgan.
“Anna Banana came to us in May this year. She was highly recommended from another school Mum and she didn’t fail to deliver. She arrived well before her scheduled arrival time and attempted to set up her act despite being mauled by all the children attending my daughter’s birthday party. She took it all in her stride. Her show was full of enthusiasm, entertainment and most importantly, fun. The 20 kids attending the party were all involved throughout the show assisted by her vast selection of props, gadgets and musical instruments. Despite the fact that the age profile of the kids ranged from 1.5 to 7 years, she miraculously held their attention and my main memory of the afternoon is of the laughter that resounded around my garden. Anna made the whole event easy and I would have no hesitation recommending her to anyone who wants to have a hassle free party.”
Niall Robinson, Dublin.
”Rush Parent, Baby and Toddler Group had the pleasure of meeting “Anna Bananas” when she entertained at their Halloween party – 35 children from 4 months up to 3 years of age love Anna! Her performance was up lifting and very colourful: Anna included some of the children in her show which went down very well both with the kids and the parents. The children really enjoyed the puppets and loved the singing. Anna is a lovely person and we are delighted to have Anna Bananas back for our Easter party in March!”
Tracy Hughes (Chairperson).

“Just wanted to let you know that Aoife’s party was a really big hit. A lot of the mothers at the school have said their daughters could tell them the stories in detail and were raving about you. They all had a ball. I’ll pass on your details if anyone asks! Thanks again.”

“Anna thanks for making Keeley’s party such a huge success. She was delighted with you and you were a big hit with all the kids. Plus all the Mom’s asked where did I get you, so word of mouth should be good also, thanks again.”
Mary.
Hey Anna, just wanted to say a big thank you for Sunday (Amber’s christening).It was the highlight of the day for the children and given the fact that there was a Candy Table, you should be proud. Thanks so much as I think entertaining 2-3 yr olds is definitely more challenging.”
Lisa x
“Anna, you are so amazing. Thank you for making Marcus’s day so very special. You were such a hit with all the children, they will be talking about you forever. Sonya told me as you were leaving that you were coming to her house for a play date tomorrow! In her dreams I’d say! Thanks again and sending you much admiration. Have a good rest this evening!”

“Anna Bananas thank you so much for today. You made the party happen and the kids absolutely loved, parents equally enjoyed. Daniel said his favourite part was the ‘girl’ because she was very funny, and he liked the way you could not find the birthday boy! You are absolutely fantastic at what you do. I will definitely spread the word around. ”
Manca (5 yr old boys party)
“Thanks Anna again for today. Normally I would be frazzelled and worried organising a kids party but due to your presence it was painless. You came in and took over and they had such a brilliant time, all kids, big and small, girls and boys. A true testimony of how relazed we were was that my husband Mick even dropped off to sleep!!!”
