Today we’d like to introduce you to Brad Eickhoff.
Hi Brad, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Long ago, in the quiet town of Morrow, Ohio, there lived a dreamer named Brad. For forty-seven years, he wandered through the world of entertainment, weaving joy into magic, laughter, and wonders. Yet deep within his heart, he carried a secret wish: to summon snow where none had fallen, to gift people the magic of winter even beneath the blazing sun.
One evening, as the stars shimmered like frost across the sky, Brad whispered his wish into the wind. The wind answered, carrying him to a new calling. Thus was born Wintertime Whimsy—a company not of bricks and mortar, but of enchantment and snowflakes. With machines that breathe out shimmering flurries, Brad became a snowmaker, conjuring winter wonderlands for weddings, camps and grand celebrations.
Children danced in the drifting flakes, couples kissed beneath snowy arches, and ordinary fields transformed into sparkling kingdoms. Wherever Wintertime Whimsy traveled, joy followed like footprints in fresh snow. His promise was simple: “We bring the snow, you bring the joy.”
And so, the tale continues. Each event is another chapter, each snowfall another spell. Wintertime Whimsy walks onward, a keeper of frost and delight, reminding the world that magic is not bound by season—sometimes, winter arrives exactly when you need it most.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Has it been a smooth road? Oh, not at all. The path to creating Wintertime Whimsy has been more like a winding trail through snowdrifts—beautiful, yes, but full of challenges.
The Struggles Along the Way
Convincing people that snow can be made on demand: At first, many thought it was impossible or too whimsical to be real. Educating clients about the technology and showing them the magic firsthand took patience and persistence.
Weather unpredictability in Ohio: Ironically, being based in Ohio meant battling nature itself. Some winters brought plenty of snow, making people think they didn’t need us. Other winters were mild, and we had to work harder to show why guaranteed snowfall was worth it.
Logistics and setup: Snow machines aren’t as simple as flipping a switch. Transporting equipment, setting up safely, and ensuring the snow looks authentic required trial, error, and constant refinement.
Breaking into the event market: Weddings, corporate events, and festivals already had their traditions. Introducing something new meant carving out space in a crowded industry and proving that snow could elevate an experience rather than complicate it.
The Reward- Each struggle became part of the story. Every time a child laughed while catching flakes in July, or a couple kissed under a snowy arch in December, it proved the effort was worth it. The road may not have been smooth, but it has been magical—and that’s the essence of Wintertime Whimsy.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I am a conjurer of snow, a weaver of winter dreams. Through Wintertime Whimsy, I specialize in creating authentic snowfall for events of every kind—weddings, birthdays, corporate galas, festivals, and community gatherings. Where nature hesitates, I step in, transforming ordinary spaces into sparkling winter wonderlands.
I am known for bringing joy through the unexpected. Imagine children laughing as flakes drift down in July, or families looking at a Christmas tree all aglow and snowflakes falling. My work is not just about machines and snow—it’s about crafting moments that feel magical, timeless, and unforgettable.
I am most proud of the memories I help create. Each snowfall is more than decoration; it’s a story unfolding. I’ve seen faces light up with wonder, heard gasps of delight, and felt the hush of awe as guests realize they are standing in a world remade by snow. Those reactions are my proudest achievements.
What Sets Me Apart
Authenticity: My snow looks and feels real, not like confetti or foam. When people see the snowflakes fall from the sky, their mouths open in amazement.
Personalization: I tailor each experience to the client’s vision, ensuring the snow enhances their unique celebration.
Reliability: In Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, Winters can be tricky. I guarantee snow on demand, no matter what the temperature is, making me the keeper of winter’s promise.
Experience: With over four decades in entertainment, I understand how to create atmosphere, not just effects.
In short, I don’t just sell snow—I sell wonder. I bring the magic of winter to events, where unpredictable seasons make guaranteed snowfall a treasure. And that is what makes Wintertime Whimsy truly unique.
Is there a quality that you most attribute to your success?
The quality that has carried me through every storm and every snowfall is imagination paired with persistence.
Without imagination, Wintertime Whimsy would never have existed. It takes vision to look at a summer wedding in Ohio and say, “Yes, we can make it snow here.” Or being able to guarantee a snowy evening for a Community’s Christmas Tree Lighting. It takes creativity to transform an ordinary event into a winter wonderland, to see beyond what is and believe in what could be.
Imagination alone is not enough. The road has been filled with challenges—convincing people that snow can be made on demand, navigating Ohio’s unpredictable seasons, and ensuring every event feels magical. Persistence is what kept me moving forward, refining the craft, and proving again and again that the dream was possible.
