A grand opening only happens once, and the job is simple: get people to stop walking and come inside. Binx Entertainment helps Staten Island businesses turn a ribbon cutting into a genuine crowd-drawing celebration. From retail plazas along Forest Avenue and Hylan Boulevard to storefronts near the Staten Island Mall and Empire Outlets, we bring the energy, the color, and the reason for families to stop, stay, and come inside.
Entertainment does what a banner can't: it slows people down. A balloon artist and face painter keep kids happy while parents browse, a costumed mascot pulls people in for photos they'll post and tag, and a strolling magician works the line and the crowd. It's professional, on-brand, and built to create the social-media moments and word-of-mouth that make an opening a success.
Every performer is an experienced, background-checked member of our in-house team — never a random subcontractor — and we're fully insured with a Certificate of Insurance (COI) available for your property or landlord. We're flexible on timing and format, there are no travel fees anywhere on Staten Island, and there's no deposit on staffed entertainment — you pay when the performer arrives.
Mix and match to match your brand, your space, and your crowd.
A magician who works the crowd and the line — close-up magic at arm's length plus a stage show that gathers a crowd and holds it. Perfect for ribbon cuttings and peak hours.
A costumed mascot or beloved character is a magnet for families and photos. Great for social buzz, tagging, and giving your opening a friendly face.
Balloon artists and face painters keep kids delighted while parents shop and sign up. Steady, all-day attractions that keep families on-site longer.
A hands-on reptile encounter is an unexpected, buzz-worthy draw that stops passersby and gives families a reason to come in and stay.
Fresh cotton candy, popcorn, and treats give people a reason to line up — and a friendly freebie that makes your brand the good guy on opening day.
Add a DJ for energy, carnival games for engagement, or a foam party for family-focused openings with outdoor space. Turn a sidewalk into an event.
We carry full liability insurance and provide a Certificate of Insurance for your property, landlord, or plaza on request — no last-minute paperwork.
Our attractions are designed to stop foot traffic, hold a crowd, and create the photos and tags that keep your opening buzzing online.
Weekday or weekend, one hour or all day, single act or full lineup — we build the package around your event plan and budget.
Simple invoicing, no deposit on staffed entertainment, and no travel fees anywhere on Staten Island. Performers who arrive on time and on-brand.
Staten Island includes many distinct neighborhoods. Give us the neighborhood as well as the street address so the performer has a clear arrival plan. Our existing neighborhood pages cover Great Kills, New Dorp, Oakwood and Grasmere.
For a home celebration, tell us which entrance reaches the party space and whether equipment needs to go upstairs or through a side gate. A hall or school booking should include the room and on-site contact.
For a grand opening, explain whether families arrive together or throughout the day. Give us the opening schedule, the entertainment area and the person coordinating the event so activities fit around announcements.
