Absolutely unforgettable experiences, year after year! I've…read morebeen using Character Select for years, and they never disappoint. From birthday party pop-ups to Easter Bunny basket deliveries and of course the Grinch at Christmas (which is always a huge hit!) they consistently go above and beyond. Every character is professional, punctual, and truly brings the magic to life. What I appreciate most is how affordable they are without ever sacrificing quality. You can tell they genuinely care about creating meaningful moments, not just showing up in a costume. The smiles, laughter, and excitement they create are memories my family will cherish forever. If you're looking for a character company that's reliable, professional, and guaranteed to leave a lasting impression, Character Select is the one. I recommend them 100% and will continue booking them for all our special occasions. Truly magical every single time

Unfortunately, we were really disappointed. We understand that things happen, but after being late, we did not expect them spend another 20 minutes to set up their sign. It was completely "out of character" for Elsa to be carrying a strange black bag and to be building something. Then, when Spiderman and Elsa finally started interacting with children, we received feedback from parents that they were "rude," "not engaging," and "in a rush to leave." We actually had a parent say they overheard Elsa tell their 3-year old daughter, "I only have 5 more minutes." This was frustrating when we went to look for them at 2:30 and they were already long gone. Although our agreement was from 1-2:30, it was not from 1:20-2:30 which is when they actually began. Therefore, the professional thing would have been to make up for it by staying at the event longer. As a nonprofit, this event is very important in raising funds for our cause. We requested a partial refund after the event, and instead were told all the reasons why we would NOT be getting a refund. We would not recommend using them in the future.

Ok- one super satisfied customer here, party success! I had attended an event where this company,…read moreKealoha Events, had supplied 3 characters, and I totally remembered how much the kids all loved them. So, I booked the Character, Stitch, for our birthday using their site- & it was super user friendly. The party was outside, early evening, and in the high 80's to 90's, temperature-wise. The Character arrived with Sean, who was the one directing and leading the activities. They played hot potato, musical chairs, had a cookie eating contest, and danced. Stitch posed for lots of pictures and Stitch made his way around to greet and mingle with guests, both the kids and adults. Balloons were blown up to play with, and Stitch hung out right by the birthday girl when it was time for cake and The Happy Birthday Song. They came with their own sound system, and even added in a requested song to the set. I just needed to have an outlet available, super easy. I booked online, but also spoke with Sean on the phone, and he clarified any questions I had, as well as provided me with detailed info. I received emails and phone calls for confirmation and updates. I was so pleased that the Stitch (Parody) Character, as it was listed on their site, was available on 626 Day (Stitch Day). Might I say...that costume was actually really well made, and authentic looking. Sometimes characters are like a close 2nd, or kinda resemble one you'd hoped it would be- not the case here, I was so pleased! They stayed for one hour, and helped to create fun memories for all the guests! Sean shared with me that there are many characters, bounce houses, etc. to choose from- so I went back to the site, and I was in awe! I had really just looked up the character we wanted to book, but there are really so many options- and the slides and bounce houses listed too look cool! So overall, the amount of interaction between the character and guests for that hour- great! Based on our whole party experience, I would definitely recommend booking with them. Such a fun way to elevate a party!

We received so many compliments from our guests throughout the night. Highly recommend them for any event -- we would absolutely work with them again!
