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!

The entire process was smooth, professional, creative, and stress-free. Their team brought such positive energy and a true "we'll make it happen" attitude that made working with them such a pleasure.

Beyond the décor itself, the team was kind, easy to communicate with, flexible, and genuinely cared about making the event special. We received so many compliments from our guests throughout the night. Highly recommend them for any event -- we would absolutely work with them again!

Outstanding, professional, punctual -- and FUN!…read more All the kids at my daughter's birthday party had an absolute blast. The only "complaint" I have is that my daughter now wants a birthday party every weekend They truly created a memory for her that I'm sure will stay with her for a lifetime in the most positive way. It seems my daughter is now known at school for throwing awesome parties! I will definitely hire them again and highly recommend them for any kids' event. I was honestly anxious about entertaining a group of children in my cozy home, but they took a huge burden off my shoulders and made the entire experience stress-free.

The kids loved playing limbo, basketball, Velcro darts, parachute, tunnel, and more with Curious George! My only regret was not hiring her for more time to keep the party going! We hired her for 1.5 hours and the kids were entertained and engaged the whole time, giving the parents time to socialize and eat lunch. My son had the absolute time of his life. The delight on his face when Curious George came to his party and gave him hugs and held his hand to lead a parade of his friends! The cake cutting with Curious George was so much fun, and afterwards Curious George read one of our Curious George books to the party guests. Definitely going to hire Roxy for every party as long as my kids like characters. It is genuinely magical for the kids to have their favorite character hang out with them.

I just found a really cute little jumpy with a slide from here. I was surprised by their selection…read more They had tons of styles and especially because this party was going to be all for toddlers I was glad to see so many that were the right size. All the kids were under 5 so we wanted something that would be easy for them to climb up and down by themselves and of course be safe for kids that small. They had about 10-12 of that style to choose from which was great. We got a cute blue yellow and it went great with our preschool theme. We did the event at Parents Nursery School in Palo Alto and we had it set up in our little outside play area. They helped us pick out not only the right style but also which one would be a good fit for our specific play area.

We've ended up using Fun Factory pretty consistently because they have a lot of options that actually make sense for that age group, and they've always been reliable for us. This time we went with their face painting service and it turned out great. Brenda and Alyssa were both really good with the kids--patient, friendly, and easygoing--and their designs came out looking really impressive. The kids were excited the whole time and it added a really nice element to the event. Overall just another smooth, fun experience.

She was great with the kiddos and so very engaging as well. The kids were captivated by her singing and the sweet activities she did with them.

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.

Even though the kids were pretty rowdy and full of energy, Skip handled everything with so much patience and creativity. I couldn't even keep them calm myself, but Skip managed to engage and contain the group perfectly. My daughter tends to get anxious when there's a lot of noise and movement, but Skip was so attentive and made sure she had her space and could still enjoy the show. It really meant a lot to me that my daughter felt comfortable enough to laugh, smile, and participate at her own pace. The face painting was beautiful, the show was fun and engaging, and there were plenty of giggles all around. Some of the adults could've done a better job respecting the show, but Skip stayed professional and kept things going smoothly. I truly appreciate that level of patience and skill. I'll definitely book again in the future,maybe something smaller next time with one or two of my daughter's friends so she can interact more. Overall, it was a great experience and I highly recommend Dream Top Entertainment!
