Very disappointed with the service

Very disappointed with the service. The entertainer, Natalia, arrived 30 minutes late, even though she had said she would arrive earlier to prepare before the children arrived. By the time she came, the party had already started and all the guests were there, which is not ideal for a young child’s birthday. The performance itself was also very low energy, she was always sitting down and not engaging for the kids. I’ve asked her to be more dynamic and replied she was sick, it really impacted the atmosphere of the party. I would not book again.

Hi Margaux,

Thanks for your review.

We're so sorry to hear you didn't enjoy the party. I have passed this feedback on to your entertainer. She is new and was a little under the weather, which unfortunately had a negative impact on things. She also struggled a little to adapt some of the games to the space that was available.

We know an £80 discount has already been applied, but please do reach out to us directly about this.

Thanks again for your feedback, as we really do value it.

Wonderful!

I found this company online and booked for my daughter’s 4th birthday party.
We had Elsa and Anna played by “Princess Megan” and “Princess Emma” as well as a ‘Princess in training’ who came along as a lovely fairy! I was asked prior to the party if I was happy with a trainee coming and I could choose her character.
They were absolutely wonderful. So very kind and warm with the children.
They kept them engaged for the entire 2 hours which is no mean feat!
Providing fun games, prizes to be won, face painting and glitter tattoos!
The children were so excited and the princesses matched their energy throughout the whole party.
Also it was noticed how they very quickly learned all the children’s names at the party. A small thing maybe, but it really stood out to me as a thoughtful touch. It made the experience feel personal.
My daughter had the BEST time and so many of the parents commented how great the party was.

Thankyou!

Jelena was absolutely brilliant as ‘Rumi’. From the moment she arrived she was so full of energy and the children thought she was fantastic. She made the party go with ease and she kept all of the children's attention throughout. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend both Jelena and Especially For You Parties.

Uncomfortable and disappointing

Very disappointing experience with the Elsa entertainer (“Princess Catherine”) at my daughter’s friends party today.

Her behaviour towards the children was genuinely shocking for someone working in children’s entertainment. She came across as irritated and dismissive from the start — rolling her eyes at the children, pushing past them to position herself for photos, and making very little effort to smile or engage with them.

At one point she made a sarcastic comment to my daughter and her nursery friends saying, “Maybe next time the music will stop on you — if you stop touching my Elsa dress maybe,” while snatching her hand away when the children tried to hold it. These were three to four year olds who were simply excited to meet a princess. The tone was unnecessarily sharp and completely inappropriate for that age group.

Another little girl proudly showed her painted nails and was abruptly told, “You’ve shown me already, now wait in the queue.” Only when she realised the child’s mum was standing there listening did she quickly add, “they’re lovely.” The sudden change in tone was very obvious.

Throughout the party she repeatedly pulled away from children trying to hold her hand and seemed visibly annoyed by their excitement — which is exactly what you would expect from toddlers meeting a princess.

To make matters worse, she didn’t even play the main Frozen song that the children were excited about.

For someone hired specifically to entertain young children, the lack of patience, warmth and basic kindness was really disappointing. Several parents commented afterwards on how uncomfortable it was to watch the way the children were spoken to. I would strongly question whether this performer is suited to working with very young children.

Hi Chloe,

Thanks for your review.

Even though you were not the paying customer (nor was it your child’s birthday), we are sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy the party. Catherine always gets lovely reviews, but it can be hard for entertainers to give attention to all guests, as the birthday child must always come first.

This can be especially difficult if other guests take a shine to the entertainer, or become disruptive by pulling her dress, or just want her attention all the time.

We did speak with the parents who booked the party, and they had nothing but praise for Catherine, saying their little girl was still talking about the party several days later. The other parents at the party also seemed to really enjoy things.

Even though we want all guests to have a lovely time, we appreciate it may be difficult when the entertainer is giving more attention to the birthday child, but they’ll always remain the priority.

We value the feedback you’ve provided and encourage you to reach out to us directly.

Hi Meera,

You CANCELLED your own booking 2 months ago. This was due to confusion regarding the party address leading up to the date – however, this confusion was down to you adding your home address instead of the venue address on the booking form.

We certainly could have fulfilled the booking, and we're still unsure why you chose to cancel.

Unfortunately, we can't refund a party when you decide to cancel yourself, as the deposits are non-refundable. However, please do get in contact, and you can rearrange to any new available date should you choose to.

Kpop Demon Hunter party

Laura came as Rumi to my daughters birthday party and was absolutely brilliant. She arrived early to set up, she looked fantastic as Rumi and she was great at getting the kids involved. The kids loved having their pictures taken with her and all in all, she was an absolute delight. I'm so glad we chose Especially For You Parties. I would definitely use them again in future if I'm ever brave enough to throw another party.

7th birthday party

We booked Especially For You parties for my daughter’s 7th birthday. We had K-Pop themed. The entertainer, Vicki arrived early and we were still setting up the venue. She just got straight on with things, entertaining our daughter and a few of the other children who had arrived early. Vicki was a real hit with the children, polite and easy going, would definitely recommend.

Moana experience

We have laura as moana and the other lady as the hula dancer for my daughters 5th and 2nd birrhday. They were really good with the children. Kept them entertained throughout. I say massive well done for both the entertainers for such an amazing host. Really would recommend them for those looking for disney princesses.

We had a Wizard party with Laura last weekend. It was amazing as was she. She was very interactive with the children and made an effort to remember all their names. She made our little girl feel comfortable and she had lots of fun as did all the children. Laura’s games were fun and everything she did was tailored to fit the party’s Harry Potter theme. We would recommend this company and Laura. Thank you very much 😀

Rumi was the best!

Princess Zoe (Rumi) was truly outstanding. She stayed in character the entire time, engaged beautifully with all the children, and made my daughter feel so special. The games, singing, and overall entertainment were perfectly pitched for the age group, and every child was captivated.
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking to create a magical and memorable party! ✨

Moana themed birthday party

Huge thanks to Ellie from Especially For You Parties! She was a fantastic Moana for our daughter’s 5th party. The kids had a blast dancing, and it made the day so much easier for the parents. Definitely the highlight of the birthday. We’ll certainly be using them again!

daughter’s…8th birthday

We had Megan as Rumi for my daughter’s 8th birthday, and she absolutely loved it — as did all the other children! Megan was fantastic, so interactive, and kept everyone engaged from start to finish. I would definitely book again.

Also, apologies for the whistle blowers… I didn’t quite think that one through! 🤣

Rapunzel party

Laura was so great for my daughter's 6th birthday party. Organisation and communication were brilliant and she happily changed character last minute for us to keep up with my 6 year old changing her mind! On the day she kept 25 kids entertained with lots of games and made all the kids feel included -an absolute pro!

Meg was amazing for my Daughters 5th Birthday. She was dressed as Belle and in full princess character which lots of the girls especially were super excited about but she kept all the children’s engagement throughout the party and I’ve had lots of positive comments about her as an entertainer from other parents. Thanks so much Meg
