Not only did Kari reimburse me for the cost of the original party she offered me a free 2 hour party to show us what they can be like. We have an annual NYE party where we count down at 9pm so the kids can all bring in the New Year but the parents can get them to bed by 10pm. I asked Kari if she would be willing to come out on NYE, thinking she would say no, but she didn't, she said yes. I will admit I was hesitant. I was a little worried but I figured it would keep the kids occupied. Hannah, our performer, called me 30 minutes earlier than our planned start time just to let me know she was already in the area and could start early if I wanted, but didn't have to. I had her still come at 6:30 since most of our guests wouldn't be there by then. She had an adorable 70's flashy disco diva outfit on, which the kids loved. She was TERRIFIC. She kept those kids entertained for a full 2 hours! They loved her. Her magic show was awesome, her enthusiasm was great, and her professionalism and ability to stay in character was top notch. The parents were so impressed and happy with her! I am happy to make my first post of 2013 a positive follow up for Kari's Magic Parties and I am seriously thinking about having them come back next NYE! Thank you Kari for following through and showing me how great you guys can be,

I initially contacted another party performer after reading some troublesome reviews of character…read moremixups and no shows and no refunds. But because that other performer was already fully booked, i ended up going with Kari's magic parties per recommendation of my nursing school classmate. I sent my inquiry 3-4 weeks before the party via email because their website was in construction I think at the time. When they told me they had an availability I was elated. They told me that the performer was supposed to call me by 5 pm the day before the party. The days leading up to the party I totally forgot about the performer. To my pleasant surprise miss Sarah called the day before the party. Initially the services I wanted were face painting and balloons and a sing a long. She told me since we had her for 2 hrs and only about 10-15 kids I could add another service. Since my daughter was 2 and the kids were aged 2-9 she recommended toddler time which entailed "head shoulders, knees, and toes". That sounded awesome since my daughter loves those songs but I opted for the magic show option so that the adults and older children would be entertained as well. The day of the party she arrived perfectly on time. As soon as she entered everyone was in awe of Miss Sarah's beauty. She embodied Elsa PERFECTLY. We had the movie playing during the party and some younger children actually thought she stepped out of the tv and through the front door! Lol. She asked for a place to paint and a cup of water and off she went. She stayed in character the entire time. Everyone young and old enjoyed her magic show. And she was there to cut the cake with us. She posed with EVERYONE and was so pleasant! She was very easy to talk to and kept asking if there was anything more she could do. Overall I am so thankful for Sarah and Kari's Magic Parties for the wonderful experience. Sarah had a very important job of bringing the party to life as Queen Elsa and that's EXACTLY what she did! Highly recommended and am excited to work with them again in the near future!

I hosted her for my daughter's preschool, and it was perfect for the 2-5 age range. She was so kind and thoughtful--she even brought blankets for people to sit on and towels for when someone got a big bubble in the face. She had plenty of engaging activities to fill the entire hour, and communication with her was smooth and easy.

I booked her for two hours for my son's birthday party. On the day of the event, she was on time (even a bit early). The children loved getting their faces painted and all around the room I could see kids running up to their adults to show off their art. When it came time for the bubble show, Dee was super energetic and the kids were fully engaged. The volume at our venue was turned up to 100 with all the kids squealing with delight. Parents came up to me afterward complimenting me on the entertainment and said they and their kids had an amazing time. I fully recommend Dee if you're hosting an event for children. She will keep them enthralled so you can sit back and relax!

Zohreh is the brains behind the operation and she leaves no detail untouched. She takes it to another level, making sure the smallest things make you stop and realize that someone put a lot of effort into making your special day completely customized and tailored to your needs. Zohreh recently planned my baby shower. I gave her some parameters and general ideas and she pulled it together into the perfect event. I specifically wanted something more casual and intimate (since this was for baby no. 2) and that's exactly what was delivered. Furthermore, the outdoor event fell on a rainy day and the celebration was seamlessly transitioned inside without sacrificing any of the festivities. Hosting an event can be stressful but Zohreh's warmth and genuine enthusiasm made the entire experience, from planning to event day, a breeze and I always felt that I was in good hands. I will be using Bay Area Party Coach again!
