Absolutely unforgettable experiences, year after year! I've…read morebeen using Character Select for years, and they never disappoint. From birthday party pop-ups to Easter Bunny basket deliveries and of course the Grinch at Christmas (which is always a huge hit!) they consistently go above and beyond. Every character is professional, punctual, and truly brings the magic to life. What I appreciate most is how affordable they are without ever sacrificing quality. You can tell they genuinely care about creating meaningful moments, not just showing up in a costume. The smiles, laughter, and excitement they create are memories my family will cherish forever. If you're looking for a character company that's reliable, professional, and guaranteed to leave a lasting impression, Character Select is the one. I recommend them 100% and will continue booking them for all our special occasions. Truly magical every single time

Ok- one super satisfied customer here, party success! I had attended an event where this company,…read moreKealoha Events, had supplied 3 characters, and I totally remembered how much the kids all loved them. So, I booked the Character, Stitch, for our birthday using their site- & it was super user friendly. The party was outside, early evening, and in the high 80's to 90's, temperature-wise. The Character arrived with Sean, who was the one directing and leading the activities. They played hot potato, musical chairs, had a cookie eating contest, and danced. Stitch posed for lots of pictures and Stitch made his way around to greet and mingle with guests, both the kids and adults. Balloons were blown up to play with, and Stitch hung out right by the birthday girl when it was time for cake and The Happy Birthday Song. They came with their own sound system, and even added in a requested song to the set. I just needed to have an outlet available, super easy. I booked online, but also spoke with Sean on the phone, and he clarified any questions I had, as well as provided me with detailed info. I received emails and phone calls for confirmation and updates. I was so pleased that the Stitch (Parody) Character, as it was listed on their site, was available on 626 Day (Stitch Day). Might I say...that costume was actually really well made, and authentic looking. Sometimes characters are like a close 2nd, or kinda resemble one you'd hoped it would be- not the case here, I was so pleased! They stayed for one hour, and helped to create fun memories for all the guests! Sean shared with me that there are many characters, bounce houses, etc. to choose from- so I went back to the site, and I was in awe! I had really just looked up the character we wanted to book, but there are really so many options- and the slides and bounce houses listed too look cool! So overall, the amount of interaction between the character and guests for that hour- great! Based on our whole party experience, I would definitely recommend booking with them. Such a fun way to elevate a party!

My daughter just had an Ariel princess party at the Clovis Enchanted Corner venue on Saturday 2/17…read more The venue is small inside but plenty of room for 8 girls and a large enough patio outside for parents, weather permitting. In our case it was raining so the adults ended up inside most of the time and we were able to squeeze five us in, but if the parents are comfortable I would suggest most parents drop off rather than stay. The attention paid to my dusghter to make her feel special did not go unnoticed. The owner of the day spa that the princess parties are hosted out of on weekends made special Ariel themed soaps for her to take home which were absolutely adorable. Ariel did an amazing job entertaining the girls the entire hour and a half and was very good at keeping them in line without being abrasive. There was even a coronation ceremony where my daughter was announced as she entered the room, recited what I only can think to call a mermaid oath, and received her mermaid tail necklace. The venue provided plates, napkins, cups, and even the apple juice the girls drank from their tea cups. Since it is only an hour and a half I think most could get by just doing cake and maybe some finger foods. I opted to bring pizza just because the party ran during a typical dinner time. Overall it was an amazing experience for my daughter and the easiest most low maintenance party I've ever thrown for her. Edited to add the owner,Tammy, was amazing and even though Ariel ended up being sick the day of she found a replacement before she even contacted me and it only caused the party start and end time to shift by 15 minutes so Ariel could make it in time from her previous party.

I loved how she told me there was no pressure in booking when I told her I was still shopping around. I also asked if she could get Princess Aurora's pink dress since I saw she only had the iridescent blue dress on her website and she said yes and was very accommodating. When she arrived she was the sweetest and stayed in character the whole time. My daughter loved her and so did the rest of the children. All the adults loved her and asked where I found her and I was of course more than happy to let them know. They loved how professional, sweet, patient, and great she was with the kiddos. The children loved all the activities with princess Aurora and so did some of the adults! Madison was so great! I definitely recommend and will definitely hire her for any future events I may have! Also, great singing voice! Thank you, Madison!
