Elsa and Anna from Once Upon a Time Parties D.C. blew us away! Their presence added so much magic to my daughter's 4th birthday party, and I cannot say enough nice things about this company. This was a Disney-level interaction. Highly recommend booking them; I will certainly be rebooking them for future parties.

We had a great experience with this company. We have twins and they both wanted to have a…read moreFrozen-themed birthday. In order to keep them both happy, we knew that we had to hire not just a princess, but her friendly side kick Olaf. I was thrilled to find this company, which offered a wide range of princesses, including Elsa, along with the snowman. I had no idea Olaf would be so tall! He took it all in stride and Elsa helped him get into my house for my kids' large birthday party. Admittedly, I had low expectations for the performance. But I have to say, Elsa was on point. Not only was she able to manage the many kids, but she kept the show going with interactive games and she had an incredible voice. Olaf was also really good with rolling with the punches. The kids were so excited to see him and he continued to stay in character even if the 5-year-olds were pushing to see him. I had several parents ask for a referral. It was a wonderful addition to our party theme and our kids are still talking about it. I was somewhat reluctant to have a character appearance, but I'm so happy that I did. I could tell our kids felt special in that moment and seeing them smile and jump in delight when they arrived was well worth the money spent.

Princess Parties of DC absolutely exceeded every expectation for my daughter's fourth birthday. We…read morehad "Moana" come to our house, and she completely made the party. From the moment she arrived, I barely had to do anything. She kept the kids entertained the entire hour and made it feel effortless. Moana (Lily!) was incredible. She played freeze tag with the kids, taught them a short hula dance, and led a parachute game that had everyone laughing and fully engaged. She even came prepared with a craft: the girls made princess crowns and the boys made superhero masks. Every child was included and having a blast. She took so many sweet photos with the kids and made each one feel special. I was so impressed with Lily's energy, professionalism, and warmth. Several parents came up to us afterward to say it was the best party they or their child had ever attended. This wasn't our first experience with Princess Parties of DC, and it's clear why they're so wonderful. The owner, Jacklyn, truly cares about the quality of her performers and the experience they create for families. I recommend them to everyone I know. If you're on the fence, book them. You won't regret it.

To say that Chikitaki is really good would be a gross understatement. They were phenomenal…read more Everybody kept coming up and telling me it was the best kids party ever. They showed up on time. There were costume changes, bubbles, a light show, music, a puppet show, the list goes on and on. The adults enjoyed it just as much if not more than the adults. I always try to top the year before with my son's birthdays parties but there is no way to top Chikitaki so I guess I'll be seeing them again next year. I'll definitely be seeing them again next year.

Why all of this fun you ask well it's because they have a great team of party entertainment to cheer them on and actually they (particularly one of the gals who looks like actress Maria Conchita Alonso back in the day) is dressed kinda of like a cheerleader complete with Go-Go boots which gives adults like me something to enjoy. They provide music, songs, professional DJ, party lights, clowns, costume characters, face painting, contest and games, photography, puppet shows, and a whole lot more for up to a couple of hours to give your little ones a party to remember. I must say that they did wrangle up all the kids and kept them entertained for a long time well at least they weren't jumping on me and I got a chance to eat some food. They gave a nice interactive show involving all the kids and kept them busy. A few tears came about when Elmo came out, always same reactions with Santa too. They watch them on TV and in the picture books but yet face to face with the characters they get scared....... I don't get it..... anyway my friends thought that they were great I thought that they put on a nice show for the children everybody was happy. They arrived on time did a great job and I don't think their prices were too high at all but they have different packages available so adjustments are made to suite the needs of the event. So good entertainment group for kids at least 2 and up they also adjust activities to medium age of the party goers and they even get the adults involve with the little games too so be ready to look crazy but it's all good.

We hired them for the Taylor Experience for my twins' 7th birthday party. They were phenomenal!…read moreThey have so much experience with kids parties and think of every little detail to make it special and keep the kids engaged with a party host/back up singer and other crew members, so parents can relax and also enjoy the show. They provide so much detailed pre-event info and options for you to customize the song list, Taylor's outfits, etc. They are also so kind and accommodating and work with you if you have any other traditions or things you want to do before Taylor arrives. We wanted to give a few welcome remarks and a brief 15 minute speaking portion (cultural tradition) and their party host helped facilitate it all. All of the kids were so surprised and I'm sure they will be talking about it for weeks. I'm also not sure who had more fun - kids or adults! This is definitely a great party for all ages, and boys and girls. I was worried because I have boy/girl twins but all the boys loved it and were singing and dancing the entire time, too. I highly recommend adding the light up Eras tour backdrop because it really made the concert amazing. I can't imagine it without it. Taylor hung out after the party to take as many photos as guests wanted and even spent some time chatting with kids and other guests. Not only is she so sweet, she is legit! Many people commented on how much she both looked and actually sounded a lot like Taylor. Many kids (including my own) said they were pretty sure she was the real Taylor. The Taylor Experience far exceeded my Wildest Dreams! If you're thinking twice about booking her, don't wait, just do it! It's worth every penny! I do want to note something because I was a little worried at some points because we booked the event 4-5 months ahead of time. The company does many other kids parties with all of their character offerings, so they're extremely busy. They usually prioritize answering emails in the order they receive them or for the parties coming up sooner, so there were a few times I waited to receive a response. I kept wondering if they were legit or not going to show up. I am only including this not as a criticism of the company because they truly are legit, professional, and amazing. I'm only including this as a reassurance for anyone if you've paid your invoice and don't hear a response right away, don't worry. Because I was looking for this kind of reassurance from reviews, too. They WILL show up and in the week leading up to your party, they will confirm all details and make sure everything is perfect. They just have a lot of parties and events, so it does make sense for them to prioritize the earlier parties. Anyway, again, thank you so much Taylor and all of your amazing crew for giving us the party of the year that none of our guests will ever forget! ETA: We had a few guests with kids with autism and other intellectual disabilities and their parents have all shared how awesome Taylor, the party host Heather, and the entire crew were so inclusive and supportive of their kids having a great time. This is not something I thought to give the crew a heads up on ahead of time, but they are truly experienced and great with kids. All of these parents shared how often their kids aren't able to enjoy parties, concerts, or truly feel included but they noticed the ways the crew included all of the kids and how this was one of the few times their kids were able to let loose and have fun at an event like this. So an extra thank you for that!!

There aren't enough positive words that can be said about this company and it's staff. They not…read moreonly put on amazing and well thought out shows, most importantly they make every child in attendance feel special and loved. It's very evident that the owner and all the character have a passion for what they do and have a heart for youth. That's extremely rare to find in a small business such as this. What an incredible company
