Laura was a brilliant Elsa

Laura was absolutely lovely with the children. She managed to keep all of the 4 year olds entertained and captivated by the princess party games! She adapted to our smaller venue (living room) and the birthday girl kept saying what a great time she’d had . Thank you so much .

Frozen party with Elsa

We had an amazing time with Elsa at our daughter’s birthday party! The children were absolutely enchanted, and the whole experience was magical from start to finish. The organisation, communication, and professionalism were outstanding, which made everything run so smoothly. Our daughter felt truly special, and the guests loved every moment. Highly recommended!

Vanessa (Miss Unicorn) was great

Vanessa (Miss Unicorn) was great, she was really enthusiastic and all the kids were really engaged. It totally took the pressure off having to entertain ourselves. Even the boys were engaged, as lots of general things, such as, pass the parcel, disco with bubbles, parachute, musical statues. The glitter tattoos at the food breakout was a great touch!

Georgia aka Hogwarts Wizard was brilliant for my son’s 6th birthday. She get the group engaged and thoroughly entertained throughout and played games I haven’t seen played at kids parties before. The venue I hired actually contacted me after to find out who we used so I will continue to share and recommend. Thank you

Exceptional Entertainer

The Entertainer who became Ariel from The Little Mermaid was exceptional! She was soo talented, she made balloon figures, sang, played games, danced, completely enchanted the kids. She deserves a raise and this company deserves all the credit they receive. well done everyone!

A truly magical afternoon for our…

A truly magical afternoon for our daughters 4th birthday on the 2nd August. Princess Elsa (Vanessa) was very much the part and was fun and engaging with the children. She had a trainee with her on the day who was a unicorn that added further fun to the day. Highly recommended!

Awful experience !!!!

Reflecting on my experience with this company, I should have read the trust pilot reviews before placing my booking.
My daughter was looking forward to her 4th Birthday Party for a number of months and was aware we had organised a special guest 'Ghost Spidey' to be at her party. I recieved a text message 1 hour before the party was due to start advising the entertainer had broken down in a car park !!!! No efforts were made to get to the party which was 20 minutes from where they were broken down - I'd have expected the company to pay for a uber to get the entertainer to and from the party. I offered to drive and collect the entertainer, and tried calling but the phone was not picked up!
Devasting for my daughter who was waiting for the entertainer at her party. When spending over £200 on a children's entertainer this is NOT what I expected. No efforts to get to the party were made, and no offers to re schedule or re visit! Awful experience. Please do not use this company

Thanks so much for your review.

Abigail did unfortunalty break down on route to your party. She's been doing parties for around 6 years and nothing like this has happened before.

We DID make every effort to get her to your party, even trying to get a taxi to her. The issue is she broke down right on the dual carriage way and she was advised (for her own safety) to wait until RAC recovered the vehicle. For obvious safety reasons we also couldn't have asked her to walk to your party either.

While extremely unfortunate this was completely outside our control and i'm really not sure what else we could have done. However when communicating you were actually extremely understanding of the situation and sympathetic to what happened.

The real Glinda is here!

Ellie was brilliant at our party on Saturday. My Wicked loving daughter was over the moon!
Every guest that arrived she didn’t run to say hi or to take her present, she ran to tell them “real Glinda is here!!”
My daughter tends to be shy around people she doesn’t know, but from the second Ellie came through the doors she was stuck to her like glue! Ellie made my daughter’s 5th birthday one she won’t forget I’m sure.
A lot of the other children haven’t seen Wicked but Ellie made sure they understood everything that was going on as well. She interacted with all of the children, from my just turned 1 year old son through to the shy and reserved 5 and 6 year old boys. She was honestly brilliant.
She also helped my stress levels haha!

Brilliant Elsa Party

The party experience was great from start to finish. Communication was clear and Laura called us the week before the party to confirm all the details.

Laura was a great Elsa and was really great with a hall full of four year olds. She kept them entertained throughout and really held their interest. My daughter loved having Elsa at her party. Thank you so much.

Please don't do the same mistake that I…

Please don't do the same mistake that I did by booking an entertainer from this company!

If I could turn back time I would have avoided them.

My chosen Moana entertainer was booked in advance prior to my daughter's party, 2/3 weeks later I was advised that the entertainer was on annual leave despite having confirmation that she was booked for the day. I was given someone who looked nothing like Moana so I requested a different entertainer.

The company then confirmed a second entertainer who I was happy with. Few days prior to my daughter's birthday party I receive a call from someone who wasn't the same person that I had agreed with and looked nothing like Moana, yet again I felt unhappy and expressed my concerns and requested another person which the company refused to find and advised me that I couldn't receive a refund as it outlines in their website that the entertainers can change therefore they couldn't refund me either but I could cancel but not get the money I paid back and claiming that she's a great entertainer however it's not the fact that she may be a good entertainer it's common courtesy to advise your client especially one who you already had a complaint from on the first cancellation and requested someone who actually looked like the chosen character. I understand that emergencies happen however the company failed to notify me that the entertainer was different and I only found out when a phonecall was received to arrange the schedule for the day. I'm sure if there is a change the client should be notified however the company decided to wait until days before for the entertainer to contact me directly.

Unfortunately I'm really upset but I had to go with this as I had no time to schedule in another entertainer had I known this from a month ago when I originally booked I would have cancelled and sourced a different company. I feel like they do this in person so you don't have any choice and have to go ahead with the service.

If you are looking for a reliable company that provides a professional service this one is not the one!

Avoid by all means!!

I will definitely advise everyone that I know not to use this company in future to avoid the same disappointments that I had.

I wish I could rate them 0 stars!

Thanks for your review. You did threaten to leave a negative review 4 days BEFORE you even had your party.

Unfortunately your original entertainer was unwell, but we always keep people on standby, and Rebecca covered your party. She’s an extremely experienced entertainer (with lots of 5* reviews on Google & Trustpilot). In fact, she's more experienced than your original entertainer. She’s also the same exact ethnicity and wore the exact same costume too.

By all accounts the children had an amazing time, and she received multiple compliments from other guests at the party! We've even seen pictures and she looked amazing!

We understand you wanted to cancel the booking 4 days prior – and that’s why you’ve left this review. But as a small business, we have the right to follow the terms you agreed to. In this case we reserve the right to change the entertainer, for example, if someone is unwell – but you’ll always receive the character you booked, and your entertainer will always still contact you directly. This is also only in emergency situations too!



We’re really pleased the children had a great time at your party, but please do check the booking terms before agreeing to them. We’re all small businesses within this industry and have similar clauses and a right to follow them.

Ariya's 7th Birthday Barbie Party

My 7yr old wanted a Barbie party and was just fantastic from start to finish. All the girls had lots of fun with various games, activities and performed a really cute dance routine. Barbie was brilliant at keeping all the kids entertained and engaged. Communication leading up to the party was very good with running through the plan of the day and knowing what to expect. Thank you so much and wouldn't hesitate to use you again in the future. Nisha Badwal

Thank you so much for making my girl's birthday party a fabulous one. We did the booking a little rush because the original arrangement from another vendor had to cancel 2 weeks before the birthday. I had to go around and see what alternatives we can have and found this website and immediately secure the party! The communication was really swift and the entertainer did a wonderful job. She dressed exactly like my daughter wanted and she did an amazing job keeping the girls entertained and happy throughout the party.
