Everything was wonderful - they really go above and beyond to make sure your little one has a great experience! Her mermaid was Coral and she was a delight. She made my daughter feel so special. The experience and add-ons can be pricey but it was definitely worth it for how much effort they put into it and how great of a time my daughter had. The only thing I would say is that no one did tell us that we needed needle nose pliers to remove the metal clips on the hair braids when she was ready to take them out, and that information would have been nice to have! We found that info with a Google search so it doesn't change the fact that we had an amazing time, but keep in mind that you will need to have pliers to pinch open the hair bands to get them out once you want to remove them. I recommend parking on the mainland and taking the ferry over for an even more magical experience. Overall, we had a great time and I absolutely recommend Once Upon An Island for your special little mermaid!

Such a sweet experience! So magical and the mermaids are so well in character the whole time! My…read morelittle one is already asking when we can go back... We went two days for summer camp and both days were a blast! The second day the parents weren't allowed to go back to help them change which was a little weird but I'm assuming because it would've been too many people all at once because that day there were more kiddos. Very sweet and my little one said it was better than Bibbidi bobbidi boutique!

They have the cutest facemasks with cucumbers to go on your eyes and my daughters just love getting their fingernails and toenails painted but their favorite part is getting their hair and makeup done since it makes them feel so special! My favorite part is the 'tea party' where they serve pink lemonade and the most delicious pink cupcakes (and yes, I join in too and it's so delicious & girly!). They do have options for boys as well but my little girls just love it here and they also offer princess dress up. It is easily located off the 55 freeway and they have plenty of free parking. To make an appointment call the owner, Nancy, - she is awesome!

Our actresses were fantastic! They were so good at interacting with the kids and keeping them engaged. To my little girl they were her new best friends. And she wasn't the only one impressed, I think almost every adult came to me afterwards to say how impressed they were with the actresses. Shout out to Elsa (Camille) and Anna (Amy) for bringing the magic to the party. Behind the scenes I'm not sure if I was working with Tammy the entire time but the management team was also excellent. They answered all of my questions, including some more complex issues regarding some family members with special needs. I highly recommend this group for princess parties, and honestly with how my daughter keeps asking for Elsa and Anna to come back I may be hiring them again!

Upon arrival, she joyfully and enthusiastically played with all of the children at the play area, allowing for parents to focus on capturing the precious moment. The rest of the 40 minutes was spent at the party room, where she sang, read a story, and coronated my daughter as a princess. Needless to say, my daughter felt incredibly special. Thank you, Elsa, for your intentionality in caring for each child and for your natural ability to connect with them! Will definitely keep this company in mind for future events !

We had Jarret come out with the mini diggers for my son's 4th birthday at the park and everything…read morewent great! Jarret showed up early to set up and though his generator didn't work, he had very long power cords for back up and made magic happen! It was also perfect that he had umbrellas on each end to provide shade for the seats. My son, his friends, and our friends had such a good time! Jarret was on the trailer the whole time to help the kiddos figure out the levers. He made sure there were gems, coins, or other trinkets in the scoops for the kiddos. He provided coins and gems and I added some dinosaur eggs in the mix. Jarret was great about his communication the entire time and very pleasant on the day of, as well. We were all super duper impressed with BookMiniDigger. I highly recommend!

Just revisiting this and realized Jarrett responded to my review!…read more Gosh I am usually pretty good about moving on from things but this *still* bothers me a year later, how awful and sad is that :( I was going to open a business at the union market tustin (closed now) several years back but the owners of that place were crooked and dishonest and stole thousands from me and several other small business owners, and I've even let that go lol! But something about this just still gets me. Honestly, I think it was the way Jarrett handled things after he flaked on my son's party that I can't let go of. I should have recorded how Jarrett spoke to me - it's still pretty vivid in my memory. In response to "as I said to you before" and "as I mentioned offline I am embarrassed and feel terrible that we missed your booking" Jarrett, while I appreciate the sentiment of your response, let me make a couple things VERY clear: YOU NEVER APOLOGIZED or took responsibility for how you treated me that day. The text messages I posted in my yelp review are literally the last correspondence we have. As I mentioned in my first review, I had to follow up with you to get the refund of my deposit. I'm not sure when you mentioned you felt embarrassed or terrible because all I literally heard on the phone when we spoke was you SCREAMING at me with excuses when I was just telling you how disappointed I was, and then I got hung up on. So disrespectful. Do you deny it? Because I noticed there are still no apologies or taking ownership for why you YELLED at me the morning of my son's party, minutes before it started and minutes before you were *supposed* to be there! I got off the phone in tears and shaking from how you spoke to me. My friend who was helping me at the party and my husband can testify. Look I get it, I can loose my temper too but I've never yelled at a total stranger, let alone a customer, the way you yelled at me. and when I do loose my temper, I always acknowledge and apologize to whoever I yelled at. (usually my spouse) I received not one follow-up message from you expressing any sentiment remotely close to an apology or admitting fault, wrongdoing, or acknowledgement that it wasn't right to yell like that. Honestly, if you had just apologized and taken responsibility for canceling instead of screaming at me, maybe the outcome for all of this would have been better. I'm glad you've taken measures to not let the "unforseen issues" cause you to cancel parties the morning of but hopefully you've also learned to control your temper and not yell at mother's who are just trying to throw a party for their kid. It seems like you've received many 5-star reviews since mine, wow that's great- I so deeply wish that could have been my experience too. While of course I believe in second chances and I do appreciate your offer of making this right, I just am pretty traumatized by the whole thing and truly wish things could have gone differently for us. I also don't know why my photos I uploaded of our conversation aren't showing up, seems like someone reported them and got them removed, but I'm reposting them again.

We had Cinderella from Wishes Party Entertainment join us for our daughter's birthday party at…read morePlayHub, and she was absolutely amazing! From the moment Cinderella arrived, she brought so much magic and excitement to the party! She was incredibly sweet, engaging, and wonderful with all the children. She kept the kids entertained and it was such a joy watching how excited and involved everyone was. The Royal Crowning Ceremony was such a beautiful touch and made the celebration even more memorable. Having Cinderella was truly one of the highlights of the entire party, and we are so grateful for the wonderful memories! I would HIGHLY recommend Wishes Party Entertainment to anyone looking to add something extra special to their child's celebration.

From the moment the princesses arrived, they were in full character and they never broke character for a single moment. Their interactions with the children were so incredibly sweet, patient, and magical and they truly brought the fairytale to life. On top of being wonderful hosts, their singing was beautiful! They kept all the kids thoroughly engaged with fun activities, and the kids enjoyed them all. One of my concerns was the amount of space needed for the princesses to do all the activities, as I was having it in the kitchen/dining area, but this was not an issue at all. It was honestly a dream come true for my daughter and several of our guests said this was a core memory for their kids. If you want to make your child's birthday completely unforgettable, do not hesitate to book them. Elle, the owner, is sweet and kind. Thank you for making my daughter's special day so magical!

If you're looking for a princess for your lo's party, Ever After Princess Events is a must! If…read moreyou're looking for a Rapunzel, no one can be more perfect than Arielle (lol, I know!). First, I don't ever write reviews because they are so time consuming. However, Arielle was so amazing I just had to. She arrived early to let me know exactly what to expect, and to discuss how we should introduce her. Arielle is just as adorable in real life! I was very afraid of who was coming but when I saw her, OMG she looked perfect. There's this sweetness and innocence to Rapunzel and she was all that and more. The heart wave started that day, but she didn't mind staying outside with the girls. Her makeup looked amazing still and the heat never seemed to bother her (unlike the rest of us). Poor thing went through storytime with a million interruptions, most not even related to the story hahaha-these are 4 year old girls. But she was graceful and kind to every interruption and stayed in character the entire time. Even when she saw Eugene's picture she said "they never really can get his nose right." I loved it! She did the crowning of the birthday princess before we sang happy birthday, and for an additional $10 we got a crown and wand set for the little sister! I highly recommend going through Ever After Princess Events for your next party. After the first initial step of signing documents, you won't hear from them until a few days before the event. So don't worry! I kinda freaked out a bit with me being the person who likes to have control of the party details. Morgan was great, she asked great questions so when Arielle arrived, she already knew a bit about my daughters. This money was well spent, my little one loves her Rapunzel! I'm already thinking of the next booking!

She came on time, greeted all the kids, did a fun sorting hat ceremony, and engaged not with only the kids, but the grown-ups, who wanted to participate. The kids especially loved the lesson on spells, using wands she brought with her. Face painting was fun, but I would recommend she bring examples on paper for the kids to choose. Because they asked her to do a few images that she wasn't too comfortable, but she attempted to paint. Then she stayed for cake and pictures with everyone. It didn't feel rushed and made sure she got everyone who wanted to participate. she stayed in character the entire time. Young and old, We all had a great time with Wizard Krista. Thank you for making my daughter's birthday party a memorable one.

I would definitely recommend using Gamez on Wheels for laser tag at your home.
