A decade of celebrations, built by one family.
Good Time Mascots Events & Decor was founded in 2014 by Craig Fowlkes. What began as a passion for creating joyful, memorable experiences has grown into a full-service event company serving families, schools, churches, corporations, hospitals, nonprofit organizations and community partners throughout Central Ohio.
Craig founded the business on the belief that every celebration deserves thoughtful planning, creative detail and a personal touch. Over the years, the company has expanded from mascot entertainment into a one-stop event experience — planning, coordination, décor, balloons, draping, photo booths, DJ and sound, custom signage, concessions, entertainment and full event production.
The company is proudly family-owned, minority-owned, and operated alongside Craig's mother, Paula Wilkins-Goldsmith. Together, they combine creativity, professionalism, hospitality and years of hands-on experience to help clients turn their vision into a personalized masterpiece.
Since 2014, Good Time Mascots has helped produce more than 500 events — from intimate family celebrations to large corporate, school, church and community experiences.
A family-owned event house built on trust.
Good Time Mascots Events & Decor is a luxury, minority-owned, family-operated event company based in Columbus, Ohio. Founded in 2014 by a mother-and-son team, we've spent a decade turning ideas into unforgettable celebrations — from intimate baby showers to corporate galas of a thousand guests.
We're fully insured, background-checked, and trusted by schools, corporations, churches, hospitals, nonprofits and hundreds of families across Central Ohio. Every event is treated like it's our own — because for us, it is.
