Easiest contact path
Texting and email are often the quickest ways to keep details moving
Send the event date, location, approximate guest count, and which service you are interested in.
Mel replies with availability, pricing, and the best fit for your atmosphere, timing, and guest flow.
Once details are confirmed, a professional invoice and agreement are sent over to keep everything clear and organized.
A signed agreement and 50% deposit officially reserve the booking date.
You do not need a perfect inquiry. Even a simple note is fine, but these details help a quote feel accurate right away.
Include the date, requested time, and how long you are hoping to book.
A city or venue name helps with travel, lighting, and setup planning, especially for Kenosha, Racine, Milwaukee, Union Grove, Salem, Lake Geneva, Burlington, Bristol, and nearby communities.
Guest count and age range help with pacing and service recommendations.
Face Painting, Tarot Experiences, Laughter Yoga, and Balloon Twisting by special request can all be noted here.

The inquiry itself does not secure your date. Laughing Llama is fully insured and can provide documentation when needed, and event setup needs are reviewed before the agreement is finalized. If your venue, school, or organization needs a clearer trust snapshot first, the Verified, Insured & Event Ready page is a good place to start.
A date is officially secured only after the agreement is signed and the required deposit is paid.
Most bookings include a $50 travel and insurance fee, with additional travel fees based on event distance and details for Southeastern Wisconsin or Northern Illinois events.
