AMAZING, professional, and good looking team!!
I hired Beyond Wings Circus for a corporate party in Nashville a couple years ago, and have been hiring them ever since for other events across Nashville with my event company. They are a truly rare, exceptional company of entertainers. Their artists really know how to engage a crowd. I have hired them for roaming and stage acts. The juggler is hilarious!! The aerialists are mind-blowing. I could write about them forever. I highly recommend Beyond Wings for your event!

Expectational Nashville Entertainment
I first spotted Beyond Wings performing at Nashville Schermerhorn Symphony. Then again at Bridgestone Arena! Even my kids have their performers on snap chat twirling fire at Nashville Shores and sky dancing everywhere downtown Nashville. I decided to branch out from our normal band entertainment and hire them for my company awards banquet at Embassy Suites. I have now hired them multiple times for corporate events and my own private parties. They are easy to work with and customize their performance to my requests. They will not disappoint.

Best Entertainment in Nashville!!
I have hired Beyond Wings Circus for many events in Historic Downtown Franklin while working with The Heritage Foundation. They have shown extreme professionalism and safety caution ever time I have worked with them. They are all so extremely talented, top notch performance artists and entertainers, best you will find in Nashville! Guests are always amazed and I hear great feedback from every crowd they draw. Will absolutely be working with Beyond Wings in the future. Thank you for your hard work!
What a fantastic group of performers! Beyond thrilled with their performance!! I hire Grace and her team for my Thrillist Presents Jack Daniels Fire Escapes event in Nashville hosted at Looser's Bar and they where exceptional. I highly recommend them and plan to use them again in the future.
