I booked her for face painting, glitter tattoos, and balloon animals, and everything was a huge hit! She arrived early, and communication was excellent throughout the entire booking process and on the day of the event. Thank you team!

[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.

I recently rented Disney characters from Birthday Party Characters, and they were absolutely…read morefantastic! The performers truly brought the magic to life, staying in character the entire with balloons magic tricks ( Mickey ) & mannerisms, and energy that kept the kids (and adults) completely mesmerized. From the moment they arrived, they engaged with every guest, leading games, taking photos, and making the birthday child feel extra special. The costumes were great and looked just like the pictures i requested. If you're looking to create an unforgettable party experience, I highly recommend them! Everybody kept telling that my baby's birthday was the best one-year-old party they've ever attended. It definitely was over the top.

I booked with them for a Bluey character to come to my kids' birthday party. The first 30 minutes was balloon animals and the next hour was the same performer dressed as Bluey and doing some activities with the kids and finally singing happy birthday with the cake. Nomi was AMAZING! He was so professional, cool and handled the requests of kids so well. I will definitely be booking with this company again!

Thank you Curious George (Roxy) for making my son's dream come true! Roxy arrived so punctually…read more(early actually to prepare), and she was the life of the party! 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.

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.

We had Ariel the Princess come to our house in the San Mateo area for our 3 yr old daughter's…read morebirthday. She parked farther and walked in on purpose so the kids wouldn't think she drove here which was a nice detail. She did story time and sang , magic tricks, a bunch of fun kid group games/activities with music on portable music device which she had technical difficulty which is understandable and perfectly fine so we helped with spotify on our cell phones. Please be on standby host parents to help carry character's belongings. For host parent, consider charging up your own Bluetooth music speaker to have ready as backup. We had food and games and she was so helpful too with gathering kids and singing happy birthday. She provided a tiara and special bracelet for the birthday girl which was perfect. All the kids and parents were so amazed and enchanted with the whole experience that parents sat and enjoyed and also filmed the experience. We had face painting and she had time for guests to take some pictures too. we loved how we could have a Disney princess come to our home. There's a small travel fee of course since we are outside of the normal area. Would highly recommend while your kids are young and still into characters. Ariel stayed in character and price point was good too. Thank you Cinderella company for helping our daughter's dreams come true.

My only advice is to keep time -- we went over unintentionally, and wasn't told, and had to pay. But seriously it's months after this party and people still talk about Belle.

Janessa made my daughter's 4th birthday an unforgettable one!…read more From the moment she arrived, she had the kids captivated (many 4-year-olds, but the group ranged from 1 year olds to 8 year olds, and all were entranced). She sang "Part of Your World" and has an awesome voice, read the story of Little Mermaid (which was extremely interactive), painted all the kids faces with elegant mermaid scales (it was so quick, and the powder-based color she used was so easy to get off at nighttime!), blew bubbles and the kids ran around, sang happy birthday and enjoyed cake with us, and had so many nice moments with the kids, including this heartfelt goodbye hug. I will absolutely recommend and hire Janessa Princess Parties for future events!
