On the day of my daughter's birthday, just 40 minutes before the party, she had an accident and needed to go to the hospital for stitches. Even in the middle of all the pre-party chaos, Sara kindly took my call and offered me great options. Since she had another event scheduled right after ours, we decided to keep the original plan. We had about 15 kids at the party, and Sara made sure every single one of them felt included and had fun, from face painting, to the parachute games, to the balloon creations. The kids had an AMAZING time, and every parent there complimented her work. I 100% recommend Sara, and without a doubt, I'll be booking her again for our next party!

I booked with them for a Bluey character to come to my kids' birthday party. The first 30 minutes was balloon animals and the next hour was the same performer dressed as Bluey and doing some activities with the kids and finally singing happy birthday with the cake. Nomi was AMAZING! He was so professional, cool and handled the requests of kids so well. I will definitely be booking with this company again!

I recently rented Disney characters from Birthday Party Characters, and they were absolutely…read morefantastic! The performers truly brought the magic to life, staying in character the entire with balloons magic tricks ( Mickey ) & mannerisms, and energy that kept the kids (and adults) completely mesmerized. From the moment they arrived, they engaged with every guest, leading games, taking photos, and making the birthday child feel extra special. The costumes were great and looked just like the pictures i requested. If you're looking to create an unforgettable party experience, I highly recommend them! Everybody kept telling that my baby's birthday was the best one-year-old party they've ever attended. It definitely was over the top.

Janessa made my daughter's 4th birthday an unforgettable one!…read more From the moment she arrived, she had the kids captivated (many 4-year-olds, but the group ranged from 1 year olds to 8 year olds, and all were entranced). She sang "Part of Your World" and has an awesome voice, read the story of Little Mermaid (which was extremely interactive), painted all the kids faces with elegant mermaid scales (it was so quick, and the powder-based color she used was so easy to get off at nighttime!), blew bubbles and the kids ran around, sang happy birthday and enjoyed cake with us, and had so many nice moments with the kids, including this heartfelt goodbye hug. I will absolutely recommend and hire Janessa Princess Parties for future events!

Janessa was incredible at my daughter's fourth birthday party. Everything from the communication…read morebeforehand to the party itself completely surpassed my expectations. I had hired her to be Queen Elsa plus a Princess Anna; when Anna fell sick the day of the party, Janessa quickly found a replacement who was equally as magical and engaging. The children LOVED them and they were so engaging and patient and fun with them. The sweetest part was when my daughter hugged both of the princesses goodbye, she didn't let go for a solid 3 minutes, and both princesses held on tight to let her get her fill of her heroes. Truly unforgettable.

I would highly recommend I Am Princess Parties to anyone looking to have a wonderful Princess or character experience for their children!

[EDIT] I want to respond to Dulci's wildly inaccurate claims in detail…read more 1// There was parking had entertainer arrived on time. I held a spot but obviously had to give it away when she didn't show up on time. 2// No one treated her unkindly upon her arrival. I asked front desk staff to please look out for performer arrival as they've been nothing but helpful with the kids party, we can corroborate with video footage if needed. This is slandering MCC staff 3// I was texting Dulci and calling the performer throughout her arrival, trying to help her find the clubhouse and also trying to help her with the elevator (and direct her to where balloons are for entrance). Her stress came from being late to the party and not finding parking in the main lot, not from any unkindness toward her. What an outrageous experience trying to blame the parent and the staff when services provided wasn't up to par. I stand by my review - and I think Dulci's response is a great example of the type of gaslighting that will happen to you if you book through this business. [Original Review] This was quite a negative experience TBH. We booked a princess for a 5yo birthday party in Moraga about 2 months in advance and the beginning of the process was easy enough. It's a pretty standard booking. However, every single interaction after I paid the deposit was like pulling teeth. They got my name wrong. I had to chase down the entertainer. I never got timely confirmations (despite promises that I'll be contacted). A week before and 2 nights before and I'm still tracking down who the entertainer is. And the entertainer showed up ~45mins late to a 2 hour party. I've included screenshots of communications. I am shocked they have so many positive reviews - please reconsider unless you want to micromanage the entire process and be disappointed. However, I do want to be fair and did not give 1 star because the entertainer did finally show up and she did entertain the kids (although for 1 hour not 2 like I booked, but I still paid her $150 for 1 hour of her time). So, I would not book again through this provider. Dulci refunded me my deposit, but that doesn't give me the valuable time back for the birthday.

Joanna is absolutely amazing!!!…read more We hired Joanna Lynn to come as Ana for my daughter Zoey's seventh birthday party, and she was absolutely phenomenal. From the moment she walked in, she looked like a real-life Disney princess. Every detail was flawless -- her costume, her hair, her makeup -- she truly could have worked for Disney. Her voice was stunning, and she stayed completely in character the entire time. The girls were completely mesmerized. Watching their faces light up when she walked in was pure magic. She made Zoey feel so special and created the most unforgettable experience for all of the kids. She was hands down the highlight of the entire party. If you are considering booking Joanna Lynn for your child's birthday, do not hesitate -- she is worth every penny and then some!! Truly magical. Thank you, Joanna!

I would have hired her in a min and recommended her to everyone I know. The owner is incredibly diff to work with and is not very truthful, understanding or empathetic. Her website has 3 diff prices for services. Initially it said 249 and then under the services 299. I contacted the owner and she stated it was 299. I said I'm confused bc it stated it was 249 and then 299. She said that's an old price. I thought that's odd so I went to book Melody and the price changed yet again- now it's 339!!! In less than 15 mins the price went from 249- 339!!! The worst part about this experience is that she wasn't willing to honor the price SHE sent in a text and then doubled down by denying service altogether- when the issue was clearly an issue with her site. Rather then making I'm right- or even trying to right the wrong - her solution was to deny us the service- which is going to result in a special needs boy not getting the 1 thing he has asked for in a year or more. He's a very sweet boy that has had a hard life in just about every way. Melody made his worries, hospital visits, being bullied and just his hardships melt away. Quite honestly it was one of the few times I've seen him participate and smile at the mention of her name. Rather than apologize and try to resolve the issue she is going to deny a special needs boy his one ask. I'm so very sad and if she knew my kid at all- she would and should be ashamed that rather than making his bday the best it could be- she is showing that she lacks any empathy or understanding. I hope she reaches out and does the right thing!!!
