Testimonials
Over the years we have created party packages that are a hit with both parents and children aged 5 and up, this is from some of our past clients.
“Esther, from Beading Buds, not only entertains our children during her Beading Buds sessions, but she captures their imagination and enthusiasm during the process. Our girls thoroughly enjoyed creating their unique pieces of jewelry and other children attending the party were proud of their creations as well and even wanted to have Esther at their next party! She is kind, gentle and patient, as well as very knowledgable and trustworthy. Esther is a true gem.”
Michelle, Mississauga
"Just wanted to tell you were a hit at our party!! Many of the moms came up to me at the school with compliments and big thank-you. Many of then asked me about you and said they may use you for a future event and so hopefully you can make some good connections there. The birthday girl also told me her party was the talk of the playground - even today girls continued coming up to her and saying they loved her jewelry party. So a great big thank you to you."
K, Mississauga
"I just wanted to provide this feedback from the party this past weekend. Catherine was on time and immediately engaged a group of 10 girls. She was kind, fun and all the kids had an amazing time! Every girl LOVED her necklace and the lovely bag that it came in. My daughter wont take the necklace off and is very proud that she made it “all by herself”. Catherine was attentive and incredibly helpful. She shared some games that I could do with the girls after the jewelry making portion of the party was over, which really helped. She even helped make necklaces for two girls that were good friends of my daughter, but could not make the party. Overall, nothing but gratitude and positive feedback! I could NOT have done the party without the help from Beading Buds. Great entertainment for the kids and genuinely kind people."
Irina, Oakville
I just wanted to thank you for the fantastic party last night. When I first considered Beading Buds as a party, I was worried the girls would be underwhelmed. The reviews on your website encouraged me to book a party and I'm so glad I did! Everyone really enjoyed themselves and I'd have to add, it was even educational (which you don't often get at a birthday party)! Thank you for making it a memorable evening and for my gorgeous pearl necklace that I made. I can't wait to show it off :)
Amber, Mississauga
"Thank you again for the BEST party ever! I didn't know what to do with a group of 8 year olds at our house and I am so happy that I found you. The bracelets were absolutely stunning and the girls loved the instructor and making the bracelets. My daughter said that all the girls said it was the best party ever and they started a bracelet club at school. Thank you so much for everything, you were a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. I will be recommending Beading Buds to everyone!"
Stephanie, Waterloo
"Thank you for such an amazing party. The girls had a great time! The necklaces they made were truly amazing. Thank you for your help throughout. The entire group was amazingly quiet during the beading time - exactly as you said they would be. Everyone loved the spacers! The birthday girl had one memorable birthday - that is for sure. Thanks for everything."
Kat, Port Credit
"The party was a real hit. Stephanie was an excellent instructor. She was really great and direct with the kids.
I loved the beads for the 6 year olds and the way the pattern was set and the beads were passed around.
I will definitely consider another party - either for the mums or for the wire bracelets in the future.
Everyone was really impressed. "
Erin, Ajax
"Just wanted to say thank you again! The girls had such a great time and made some beautiful necklaces and bracelets. Susie was awesome! Definitely an amazing idea for parties! Of course it was such a pleasure to deal with you. Very friendly and professional, can't say enough great things about you. Until next time!"
Neila, Ajax
"Just wanted to let you know what a fabulous party we had last night, thanks to Beading Buds. Susie was terrific in showing our members how to make the necklaces and what necklaces they were! I really hadn't expected the necklaces made with your glass pearls to be quite so elegant. Everyone raved about them. Many thanks for helping us make our Chanukah party such a success."

Thanks to Beading Buds, it was a very successful party."

“Esther and the Beading Buds Co did a wonderful job at my daughter’s 7th birthday party. The girls learned to bead a beautiful necklace with professional tools…they loved it!!! Great job Beading Buds!”
Lara, Toronto
“Beading Buds did a beading birthday party for my 11 year old daughter and her friends. The concept is so clever, and the girls really enjoyed it and were proud of their finished products. The instructor brought a huge assortment of beads and materials for the girls to choose from and worked one on one with each of them to teach them the skills they needed to complete beautiful necklaces. We enjoyed it so much we are planning to have her back for the next birthday party to make the matching bracelets.
The instructor responded quickly and professionally to my emails and more than exceeded my expectations. Arrived and finished on time and provided excellent hands on mentoring for the girls including the use of wire and pliers, cutters etc. Setup and cleanup were seamless.
Great concept and company. Please review her website. She will do parties for adults too as well as younger children and has lots of really gorgeous examples on her site.
I recommend Beading Buds highly.”
Maureen, Toronto
“Beading Buds came to my home to do a beading party for my daughter’s 13th birthday and the kids had an amazing time! They created unique necklaces, bracelets and ankle bracelets, with interesting and beautiful glass beads. The instructor was wonderful to work with and helped each individual create a piece that they love and wear!!!”
Paula, Toronto
“We recently hired Beading Buds to come to our home for our daughter’s birthday party. Our daughter and her friends had a wonderful time creating their beautiful pieces of jewellery. Our daughter loves the two bracelets she made at her party. Thank you for helping to make the party fun and memorable!”
Sylvia, Oakville
“Beading Buds did a girls birthday party for us … taught us (7 girls and 2 adults) how to make bracelets with wonderful glass beads & nickel free products. Her personality was a perfect fit. I will highly recommend her for parties of any type. The girls loved the whole process and so did I. We will have another party soon! Loved the whole thing!”
Betty-Ann, Mississauga
“Beading Buds is a terrific way to have a creative, meaningful and easy party for your child! Esther and her team were great: on time, high-energy and they cleaned up. It couldn’t have been easier and my daughter and all of her friends loved the party. The boys enjoyed it just as much as the girls and everybody left with a beautiful creation. I’d absolutely hire them again.”
Corinne, North York
Beading Buds came to our home for our daughter’s 7th birthday which included 14 of her friends. They had an amazing time making their necklaces, and the birthday girl proudly wore her crown and enjoyed being the center of attention. The Beading Buds team engaged the girls, taught them how to make the perfect necklace, and kept them entertained for the whole time they were there. I have seen a number of the girls still wearing their creations a month later and showing them off. Thanks to you both for a wonderful day.
Sara, Etobicoke

Thank you so much Esther for making my birthday so wonderful!”
Louise, Milton
“I hired Beading Buds to come for my daughter’s birthday party. The instructor provided an excellent party for the girls. They were excited to make their own necklaces and the quality was amazing! Beading Buds had a great selection of beads for the girls to choose from and everyone made a beautiful piece. The moms stayed to make a necklace as well and it was so much fun that we have booked the instructor to come out again to do another beading party for the moms only at our bookclub.”
Lynne, Etobicoke

“Thanks Beading Buds for making our daughters’ birthday party such a success! Esther and her team were able to keep 22 kids creatively involved the entire time.

I would not hesitate to recommend Esther, and look forward to using her services again in future.”

Lynn, Toronto
“Esther arranged the beading for my daughter’s birthday party. She managed to keep 18 girls (ages 5-8) busy and entertained making their own necklaces. Each girl was encouraged and all their individual creations were unique. The price per participant was excellent and all my email correspondence with Esther were handled quickly. Esther was very punctional for the party and encouraged the girls to help with the set up. I would definitely recommend Beading Buds for your party.”
Rhonda, Scarborough
“Beading Buds has been to our place twice for our daughter’s birthday parties – on each occasion she has tailored the party perfectly for the ages of the participants and for the gender of the participants. We have been very pleased both times. The instructor is great with the children and we have always had very happy girls and boys at the end of the party. I would unreservedly reccomend her work – I am hoping one day to have a party with my friends – and I know it would be great fun.”
Jennifer, Toronto

Jeanne, Beaches
“I hired Beading Buds for my daughter’s birthday party. We had eight girls, most of whom were five years old, but one older and one younger. The instructor was great with the kids, and had special activities for the older child so she could work at a more advanced pace. All the girls loved their necklaces and wore them to school for weeks afterward. She worked around my schedule in terms of timing, cake, lunch, etc., was well prepared and organized and very personable with the kids. I would definitely hire her again.”
Lillian, Toronto
“I wanted to thank you very much for the wonderful party! My daughter and her friends enjoyed it so much!!! I’ll definitely be recommending you. All the best with everything!!!”
Carolina, Mississauga
“Thank you for leading the jewelry making session during our recent women’s event. We’ve received nothing but positive feedback from our clients, many of whom specifically commented on what a great addition your team was to the event. The team was extremely organized and ran a streamlined, yet still relaxed and fun event that allowed for a good amount of networking. Many of our clients came to the second half of our event the next morning wearing their necklaces, which was great for conversation. This was a wonderful activity for a corporate event, and I would highly recommend Beading Buds for their professionalism, flexibility and willingness to work with us on tailoring the event to our theme and audience. Many thanks, I hope to work with you again!”
Annie, Event Planner, New York City
“It really was a pleasure to meet you and your team. You were all wonderful with the children at my daughter’s birthday party and you made it so easy to “host” a gaggle of girls. The girls were all so absorbed in their projects, it was amazing. The necklaces were beautiful. The girls all loved them, they were a bit of a school uniform on Monday, and I’ve had mothers coming up to me all week at school pick-up to say they want to nab them to wear! My daughter is so proud of hers, she’s been showing it off anywhere she can. Thank you for helping to make the party so special.”
Debbie, Toronto
“I would like to thank you very much for your fantastic help in making my daughters party delightful! All the girls (and moms!) were so happy with their new bracelets. I will definitely recommend your service to my friends!! Thanks again!”

Debra, Etobicoke
“I just wanted to say thank you for the amazing time we had last Sunday … it was the perfect girl’s night out for us. We were all so happy to learn the “wire-work” technique. Our sterling silver and glass bracelets are absolutely breathtaking, we’ve already received numerous compliments on them … Thanks again!”
Sharon and Julia, Burlington
“Just wanted to say thanks again for a great day on Saturday – I know it was a bit tight and chaotic, but the girls loved making those bracelets! The facepainting was a huge hit, too – it took some doing to persuade our two girls to wash their faces before bed! Thanks to both of you for everything you did to make that a great party for my daughter. She was thrilled, and so were we!”
Jeanne, Toronto
“Thank you both so much for the wonderful beading session for my daughter’s 10th birthday! The kids had a terrific time and are so proud of the beautiful creations they made.

Liz, Richmond Hill
“Thank you to the beading buds team for making my daughters 11th birthday party a real hit! … you definitely exceeded my expectations. Everything was perfect. The beads were all so beautiful, and so many, I don’t know how the girls could choose. Your patience was incredible, from helping them choose the beads, to teaching them to use the tools. They really enjoyed doing it. I will definitely recommend you. The girls love their bracelets – my daugther says they’ve been wearing them ever since.”
Cindy, Toronto
“The beading buds team attended at my home this weekend for my 12 year old daughter’s birthday party.

I have been referring them to everybody and anybody.”

Her first girly girl party and she loved it. Her guests enjoyed themselves as well and you kept them very focused, entertained and interested which in this day in age is very difficult. It was a pleasure meeting you, you are a very lovely person. I enjoyed speaking with you. I can tell you are a very kind hearted person and you wouldnt’ be doing this type of work if you weren’t.”
Rose, Toronto
“It was such a pleasure meeting you. The girls enjoyed making the beautiful earrings and my granddaughters’ necklaces were absolutley adorable! I want one!

Jen, Toronto

“We had Beading Buds come to our home for my 11 year old daughter’s birthday, it was amazing. The instructor brought a wide variety of beads and more than enough tools for everyone to ensure we could make beautiful necklaces. She was very good at helping the young ladies and us older ones too become creative jewellery makers. Each of us received a lovely bag to keep our new necklace in. The time flew by and will have more parties with Beading Buds in the near future.”
Kathryn, Etobicoke
“My club had hired Beading Buds to teach about 30 girls and their moms how to make necklaces for our end of year mother/daughter night. They did an awesome job! They came prepared and did a fantastic job teaching the girls. They had enough instructors, related to the girls really well and really did a good job keeping in touch with me before the event. I would highly recommend Beading Buds.”
Wendy, Hamilton
“Beading Buds came to help celebrate my daughter’s 8th birthday last weekend. The girls had such a fun time creating their own necklaces. They were all very different, but all beautiful. The selection of beads is amazing and the quality of the finished necklace is wonderful…I love the clasps! I would definitely recommend hiring Esther and her team to help make your next event a special one! Thanks Beading Buds!”
Nicole, Orangeville
“Beading Buds came to our home to teach beading to 10 little girls for our daughter’s 8th birthday party. The necklaces they made were gorgeous, professional, and definitely something they wear. My daughter also got a bonus pair of ear rings as a special gift. The instructor was fantastic managing all the girls as well- I was able to leave the room and prepare other things while the girls were in her capable hands! I would definately recommend Beading Buds for anyone thinking of a jewlery party.”
Joanne, Etobicoke
