Joanna is absolutely amazing!!!…read more We hired Joanna Lynn to come as Ana for my daughter Zoey's seventh birthday party, and she was absolutely phenomenal. From the moment she walked in, she looked like a real-life Disney princess. Every detail was flawless -- her costume, her hair, her makeup -- she truly could have worked for Disney. Her voice was stunning, and she stayed completely in character the entire time. The girls were completely mesmerized. Watching their faces light up when she walked in was pure magic. She made Zoey feel so special and created the most unforgettable experience for all of the kids. She was hands down the highlight of the entire party. If you are considering booking Joanna Lynn for your child's birthday, do not hesitate -- she is worth every penny and then some!! Truly magical. Thank you, Joanna!

We hired two princesses, Fairest Princess (Snow White) and Glass Slipper Princess (Cinderella).

Her storytelling bit was well loved, the kids were all extremely quiet and did not want to miss a single line, and she did a great job engaging them in games and dancing. Fairest Princess was a tad late but the girls that were dressed like her at the party could not get enough. Thank you for making the event extra magical. I can't wait to book again.

My daughter's birthday was cancelled due to coronavirus and we were heartbroken. Then I found My Once Upon A Time and booked an Elsa Sing Along for my daughter and 8 friends.

She might be a legitimate Disney employee, she was SO in character. She also sang 4 songs for the Sing Along and had an amazing voice! I highly, highly, highly recommend My Once Upon A Time!

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.

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.

You can see for yourself in her photos, but all of the face paintings she did were absolutely beautiful!! The kids were so proud of how great they looked. It was so fun watching them walk around and show everyone at the party their special face paintings. And to top it off, Esmeralda was extremely communicative, very thorough and super helpful when we were discussing pricing and availability, booking and finalizing details before the event (she was so accommodating and came 1/2 earlier than we had originally discussed).

In response: Wow!…read moreDid you even read my review? I mentioned her make up ONCE. She is a performer and she was a MESS. Her wig was barely on. Her dress was not tied in the back. Multiple parents complained that you could see way too much. Next.. Guess what? I'm a daughter too. Want to step off your soap box.. Do you have a daughter? How would you feel if she was treated SO DISRESPECTFULLY when all she was doing was expressing her concern. And since you're all about confidence and all that - maybe make sure you hang up the phone BEFORE you call the customer a BITCH. Yes, I did hear you. Next I would like to know.. Were you at the party? You must have been.. She was ABSOLUTELY not there for her full hour. During face painting she was MEAN, rushed and not all 10 kids got their face painted. Yes, balloons pop.. If she doesn't know what she's doing then she shouldn't do it. Not okay to keep popping balloons right in kids faces. Also don't forget that she took time to charge her cell phone. I didn't know they had iPhones in Enchacia. Don't tell me my daughter and her friends had a great time. I NEVER SAID THAT. My daughter is smiling in ZERO pictures. There are only smiling kids when the princess was not present. It is mentioned that the princess could be late. I should have relieved a phone call! I never once called before the scheduled time - so maybe don't lie? I'm sure I'm missing plenty of points I wanted to reply to.. But in the end you guys handled this horribly. I did not harass anyone. I complained and you should expect more complaints coming. A company that actually cares would have tried to make it right. Why would I ever want to book with you again?? I will dispute the charge since you are not willing to work with me in any way. Your company did not fulfill what was stated in the contract. There is nothing wrong with me trying to warn people about you. This same post is on the Sonoma county moms page - it hasn't been up long and many people will now never book with you. Not because of the princess but because of YOU. Again thank you for calling me a BITCH and then having the nerve to try to lecture me. PS - I'm not the first person to say that I was hung up on. Hobby of yours? Maybe take a class in customer service!

She came on-site a few of days before the celebrations to do my bridal henna, along with designs for my mom, my friend, and small designs for my husband and dad. She took so much care with every detail and never rushed, making the whole experience feel relaxed and special. My bridal designs came out absolutely stunning -- intricate, elegant, and exactly what I hoped for. Loli uses natural henna and she provided clear after-care instructions. The stain developed over the next couple of days into a very deep color that everyone kept complimenting! (Pro tip: get your henna done a few days early for the darkest stain.) One thing I really appreciated is how thoughtful she was even after she finished -- she stayed and took photos of all our henna, which was so sweet and gave us such special memories to look back on. We also hired Loli for our Haldi + Henna event so our guests could get small designs. She coordinated and brought additional artists, and they were all punctual, friendly, and incredibly talented. Our guests loved their designs. Loli is communicative, organized, and truly an expert at her craft; she's also a great person to chat with! I highly, highly recommend her!
