Not only were they super accommodating when I initially booked an artist, the communication before the day of the event was also fantastic. I loved that they communicated both via text and email, because as a busy working mom I can't always be expected to be available by phone call. The day of artist Sydney was also fantastic. She had great rapport with the little ones and the adults as well, and she was busy the whole event! I loved all of her face painting creations and only wish that I had time to get my face painted too! PFP offers exactly what I want for entertainment at a party, and I would not hesitate to book with them again.

I am the Treasurer for my employee organization in Oakland and we worked with them to provide (5) face painters at our Children's Holiday Party here in downtown Oakland. Every face painting was unique, colorful and beautiful.

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!

Our guests kept saying her artwork was incredible and that they had never seen anything like it before. The sweetest part was with my son, the birthday boy. He almost didn't get painted because he wasn't in the mood, but Fah kindly offered to create a different design just for him. He chose to have a Caltrain painted on his arm, and even though it was her first time doing that design, she did an incredible job. My son was so impressed and so happy! I highly recommend Fah to anyone looking to add something fun and a true highlight to their event. You will not be disappointed!

Setting up the booking and invoicing was super simple and all done over email. The face paint artist arrived at the picnic site we rented on-time, set up quickly, worked fast, and just generally made the kids happy with her craft! All the kiddos who wanted their face painted were able to have it done in the two hours we had, and there was a never a long line of bored children waiting around...some of the adults even got it done too. They offer lots of other options like giant bubbles and glitter tattoos as well.

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.
