The entire process with Enchanted Characters was incredibly smooth from start to finish. It was so easy to inquire and book online, and I received a follow-up message almost immediately. They were very thorough and provided all the information I needed, so I barely even had any questions. The little times we did communicate, the response was almost immediate, which made me feel so confident that someone would actually show up to our party and on time! We had the lovely Faith come out as Cinderella for our daughter's third birthday, and she was truly the highlight of the whole party! She was such a beautiful Cinderella and played the character to a T. She did singing, dancing, storytelling, bubbles, and games and had all the kids participating and engaged the entire time. The kids absolutely loved her and said that was their favorite part of the party! My daughter had the biggest smile on her face and the loudest laugh throughout the whole performance, which made it all so worth it It was such a special experience for her third birthday, and I can't wait to reach out to these guys again for future parties!

From the moment they arrived, they stayed completely in character and had every child captivated. They sang beautifully, danced with the kids, played games, did face painting, and made every single child feel special. Their energy, kindness, and professionalism were outstanding. Most importantly, they made our daughter feel like a real princess. Seeing the joy on her face all day was priceless - literally worth every penny. She truly had the best day of her life! If you're looking for entertainment that will make your child's birthday unforgettable, I wholeheartedly recommend Party Princess Productions OC & LA. Thank you, Elsa, Anna, Cinderella, and Ariel, for making our little girl's birthday so magical. We will absolutely be booking with you again!

My daughter and her friends are BEYOND DEVASTATED!! THEY NO SHOWED AND DIDNT CALL!!! I am…read moreinfuriated with this company and I actually think they're a scam. I originally spoke with charlotte back in May and decided to book with them for 2 princesses for my daughters 5th b day. She was so kind and I felt so good about them. She told me someone would contact me by Thursday of this week to go over details of the party. I paid the deposit of $300ish. Thursday comes around and nothing. I call the same number as before (949-558-2873 and 3106517226) and no one picks up and not only is the voicemail different now but the voicemail is full on both phone lines so I can't even leave a message! Charlotte finally emails me back Thursday with a very generic confirmation of time and place. I emailed her back a total of 4 times requesting a call so we can go over details and structure of the party like she had promised me back in May. Nothing. Day of the event- THEY NOT ONLY NO SHOW BUT THEY DONT EVEN CALL!!!! I was scrambling to figure out what to do with 15 kids and ended up having to improvise for 2.5 hours. How DARE they do this to kids??? I called their after hours line and of course it goes to the same BS number with the full mailbox so I can't even leave a message. I'm hoping someone will read this and learn from my mistake. I have NO idea how they have this many positive reviews. It's beyond me. They must pay for their reviews. I can't even get a hold of anyone to get a refund so I'm going to have to dispute the claims with my bank unfortunately. It's not even the money at this point, it's how evil they and careless they are and how excited my daughter was for the princesses. She kept looking out the window waiting for them to show. I hope they get their karma. Please please please stay away and maybe go with a reputable company you've heard of. I wish I had. I have attached a copy of my paid deposit and their confirmation so they can't respond and say they never booked with me like they did a different customer that I read about in one of the help reviews. I hope this helps someone.

AMAZING SHOW! 100% RECOMMENDED!…read more We chose the classic Mickey Mouse show as a surprise for our son, and he and all his friends absolutely loved it!

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.

It truly felt like the Ninja Turtles had come to life. My son and all of his friends were absolutely thrilled. The team had fun activities planned, kept the kids engaged, and never hesitated to pose for photos. They were energetic, patient, and wonderful with the children. The experience exceeded our expectations, and we couldn't have been happier with our decision to book them. In fact, several parents at the party asked for their information because they want to hire them for their own children's birthdays. Highly recommend!

A deposit is required to secure your date, and a few days before the party I received a detailed email with everything I needed to know, along with a reminder to pay the remaining balance. Spencer arrived right on time and had everything set up in just 2-3 minutes. We booked 1.5 hours of balloon twisting ($265), and it was a huge hit with everyone - from toddlers to adults! There was a constant line of guests waiting for their turn throughout the entire 1.5 hours! One of the best parts is that balloon twisting requires virtually no setup space, making it easy to fit into almost any party layout (just be prepared for the line that forms!). It was such a fun addition to the celebration, and I would absolutely hire Taylor Entertainment again for a future event.

Communication was super easy and efficient and Linda who answered my inquiry and handled the booking was super professional. The actor that came as Spider-Man was fully in character before he got here and was spot on with a quick FaceTime call ahead of time to surprise the birthday boy. He engaged quickly and effortlessly with all 10 ish kids and the adults as well. His spidey tricks and in-character performances had my 4yo son engaged and enamored the entire time. He played tag, hide and seek, danced and did balloon animals as well. He had a few opportunities to say some spidermanesque things to my son to really sell the character and nailed it every time. Lots of posed pictures as well. Absolutely 10/10 and I would book again. Thanks again Dream Makers!
