Were you happy with them? i got a price of $275 for 1 hour...they said that Elmo doesn't talk or anything, just greets the kids for 1/2 then the clown does ballons and stuff. I called another person and they have Elmo talking in the voice and said his guy is very talented and does a great impression with the music and all the Elmo songs and also does the balloon art and clown for the 2nd 1/2 hour, but I have no recommendations for him.
