I hired Spiderman for my son's birthday party and although Tony(the manager) was very professional, the person who was in the Spiderman costume was not the best. He lacks some charisma and some energy. He played all the games requested on the booking but I expected more when it came to the "superhero training." All he did for that was bring out a nerf gun and had the kids take a turn shooting. Mind you, there were around 25 kids so it took a while and the kids were getting antsy just waiting in line. For the "dance party" party, his speaker was small and you couldn't even really hear the music so I let him use our big speaker. Not a big deal but you would think they would be more prepared. I was offered to pay extra for a grand entrance and present for the birthday boy and I'm glad I didn't because my son was still given a present and it was a small paint kit from the dollar tree. Booking process was really easy, but overall the service from the characters was not the best. Manager responded promptly and though Spiderman was not the best in my opinion, he showed up on time which was also professional on their side.

When I reached out to them via Instagram, they made the process quick & simple to book our reservation. I had no issues with reserving, payment, or confirmation, it was all easy & fast. They did a great job with reaching out prior to the party to check in and confirm everything. Thankfully they had 1 last slot open on the date of the party and I'm so glad I booked it right away. Taylor was very welcoming & attentive not only to my daughter, but to all the other kids there. She looked beautiful, but her voice was incredible! I was in shock how identical she sounds to Ariel & even her singing was exactly the same my daughter was in awe! She was able to fit in story telling, a few games, singing happy birthday, and photos with all the guests all within an hour I was so impressed. My daughter was so happy & that was really the whole point, to make her smile & have her see her favorite Disney princess in real life on her special day. It was worth every penny & I wish we could do it all over again. Thank you so much Taylor & Enchanted Characters for a magical experience, we will definitely reach out to you again for any future celebrations!

From the very first inquiry to the follow-up message when your event is done, Kalinda and team will meet your every question attentively and promptly, and create a magical experience for all involved. Every character is a real-life princess and is so deeply caring with the lore and background and behavior of the world(s) they inhabit. I have been to and hosted many a Wishing Well party and I am always blown away - it truly feels like you have these characters come to life straight out of the stories and movies. Oh! And the insanely beautiful voices and dancing?? It's unreal. We most recently hosted a birthday party with Moana and when she started singing to the children the entire party went silent...the adults thought at first that she was lip-syncing to a recording and then quickly became convinced that we had worked some magic to have Moana pop right out of DIsney+ and into our lives. It was amazing. Wishing Well is amazing. On top of the mind-blowing, crowd-pleasing characters come to life, Kalinda also is sure to make sure that every possible detail is communicated and taken care (since we all know that things can fall through the cracks with the million things going on in life and party planning...)! I have always felt so taken care of and know that when Wishing Well is involved, it's going to be a magical day for everyone.

We were all honestly in awe of her, just the most perfect Elsa we could have ever hoped for. My daughter is insanely particular and notices every single detail, so a part of me was afraid she'd think whoever came was most certainly not her true Elsa. But WOW Stephanie sold that Elsa magic so well--from the outfit to the makeup to her poise to her amazing singing voice. The joy my little girl felt all throughout her party and into today will be something our family will remember probably forever. Stephanie made her feel SO special, gave her such amazing care and attention, but also handled the other kiddos so beautifully. At least half the parents there begged me for the contact information for how we booked her. Thank you Stephanie for your professionalism, promptness, and everything you delivered on yesterday. We'll never forget it. Not to mention, Kalinda was very attentive through email during the booking process, and even while away in another country on vacation, she handled a last-minute performer swap wonderfully due to an emergency. She stayed in touched and made sure we were taken care of. 5-stars all the way.

Lindsey was so great at communicating with, despite me being a busy single Mom and taking a bit to reply. The whole team was so helpful and great to work with. We booked Blippi, which was not easy to find, and the actor was absolutely amazing! Shoutout to Joaquin!!! He called me the night before to get more information on Cali Rose, the b-day girl, and what was planned so he would deliver the best for us, as well as my request of letting me know when he was arriving to get video and pictures. Cali has albinism which makes it difficult for her to see and navigate in the sun and bright light, so Joaquin made sure to have her not facing the sun during the games or interacting. All of the kids loved having Joaquin there (even those that didn't know who Blippi was) and made my job of wondering how to entertain 12 kids for 3 hours much easier! We originally planned on 1.5 hours but, couldn't stop the fun so ended up extended it another 1.5 hours. Joaquin never stopped being Blippi for a minute and entertaining the kids. He made sure to focus on Cali Rose but also included all of her friends and family. With Cali Rose and her family being bilingual (English and Spanish) it was an amazing surprise to learn he knew some of the traditional birthday songs for the Piñata and Happy Birthday! Cali Rose, her family and friends kids have not stopped talking about and dancing to the songs at the party since! We truly were blessed to find The Princess Party with a great team of admins and actors! Book your next party with them, you will NOT be disappointed!

He was friendly, timely and excited to be there. My son actually told him a story about seeing his shadow a couple weeks ago and he responded with "oh you did? I've been looking for my shadow everywhere. Tried to stick it to me with soap, but I just can't get it to stay. Hmph!" Such a great Peter Pan answer. He did a sword fight, story telling, a parachute and balloon making all in one hour! The kids really loved it. Far exceeded my expectations and I will be hiring your professionals in the future! Thanks so much for helping make our event that much more special;)

I would usually see the same entertainers in children's party and I realized that I've never seen a magician at any of them. Booking was easy via email and his prices/packages are listed on the website. I had about 15-20 kids at my party and he did such an AMAZING job entertaining both children and adults! I went with 45 min magic show, 20 min balloon twist, and 20 min bubble show. Even though it was raining that day, Dave was very accommodating and communicated with me the different options for a bubble show in case he can't do it outside. He still made it happen and the kids had so much fun popping gigantic bubbles in the rain. I also appreciated how Dave's magic show was age appropriate with the smaller kids but still catered to the adults with a few magic tricks. I can't recommend him enough to other parents who are looking for a party entertainer. Thank you Dave for a memorable party!

Where do I start!

Ninja Hank is ABSOLUTELY phenomenal! He literally appeared out of nowhere just as my daughter blew out the birthday candles and from that point on, for the next two hours, it was non-stop comedy and action! I'm not the laughing type, but I was literally in tears! I hadn't laughed like that in a long time. Ninja Hank is extremely energetic, engaging, and hilarious! All the kids and parents loved him! He easily outpaced all the kids and had everyone smiling ear to ear. He had (almost) everyone participating voluntarily! To give you an idea of how fun he is, everywhere he went, the entire party followed, just so we could watch him perform. He brought a whole bag of party tricks and games unlike any other. You can tell he really cares about his performance and I have no doubt he was 100% dedicated to our party. I didn't stop hearing complements about Ninja Hank until well after the party. I can't imagine a birthday party without him. Hank, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You have truly mastered the art of fun.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience warrants one…read more I hired an elf character based on the company's advertising, which promised an engaging holiday character who would sing, dance, play games with the kids, and offer activities like temporary tattoos. Unfortunately, the performance did not meet those expectations at all. The elf did not initiate any activities and appeared disengaged the entire time. I had to constantly prompt her to interact with the children. Several kids were upset, and multiple guests commented that she was not doing her job. At one point, she was standing in one spot chewing gum, which felt extremely unprofessional. Three of my guests even offered to write reviews on my behalf because they felt so bad about the situation. Instead of enjoying my party and hosting my adult guests, I ended up managing the entertainer myself and playing with the kids to keep them engaged--completely defeating the purpose of hiring entertainment. I contacted the company immediately after the party. The party coordinator responded promptly and confirmed that the elf claimed the children "weren't interested," which is why she didn't engage. I was told the owner would contact me to resolve the issue, but I never heard from him. I would give this service zero stars if I could. I am giving one star only because the coordinator was professional and responsive, which is the sole reason I booked this company. Unfortunately, the actual service was a major disappointment.
