The entire process with Enchanted Characters was incredibly smooth from start to finish. It was so easy to inquire and book online, and I received a follow-up message almost immediately. They were very thorough and provided all the information I needed, so I barely even had any questions. The little times we did communicate, the response was almost immediate, which made me feel so confident that someone would actually show up to our party and on time! We had the lovely Faith come out as Cinderella for our daughter's third birthday, and she was truly the highlight of the whole party! She was such a beautiful Cinderella and played the character to a T. She did singing, dancing, storytelling, bubbles, and games and had all the kids participating and engaged the entire time. The kids absolutely loved her and said that was their favorite part of the party! My daughter had the biggest smile on her face and the loudest laugh throughout the whole performance, which made it all so worth it It was such a special experience for her third birthday, and I can't wait to reach out to these guys again for future parties!

The entire experience was seamless and professional, and it was the highlight of the party. If you're looking for high-quality character entertainment, I can't recommend Character Masters enough. We received so many compliments from our guests, and my daughter was thrilled. We'll definitely be hiring them again for future parties!

The Ninja Turtles looked unbelievably realistic and were a huge hit at my son's birthday party. We held the event at a public park, and as soon as the characters arrived, kids from all over the park started running toward our party because they were so excited to see them! It truly felt like the Ninja Turtles had come to life. My son and all of his friends were absolutely thrilled. The team had fun activities planned, kept the kids engaged, and never hesitated to pose for photos. They were energetic, patient, and wonderful with the children. The experience exceeded our expectations, and we couldn't have been happier with our decision to book them. In fact, several parents at the party asked for their information because they want to hire them for their own children's birthdays. Highly recommend!

From the very first inquiry to the follow-up message when your event is done, Kalinda and team will meet your every question attentively and promptly, and create a magical experience for all involved. Every character is a real-life princess and is so deeply caring with the lore and background and behavior of the world(s) they inhabit. I have been to and hosted many a Wishing Well party and I am always blown away - it truly feels like you have these characters come to life straight out of the stories and movies. Oh! And the insanely beautiful voices and dancing?? It's unreal. We most recently hosted a birthday party with Moana and when she started singing to the children the entire party went silent...the adults thought at first that she was lip-syncing to a recording and then quickly became convinced that we had worked some magic to have Moana pop right out of DIsney+ and into our lives. It was amazing. Wishing Well is amazing. On top of the mind-blowing, crowd-pleasing characters come to life, Kalinda also is sure to make sure that every possible detail is communicated and taken care (since we all know that things can fall through the cracks with the million things going on in life and party planning...)! I have always felt so taken care of and know that when Wishing Well is involved, it's going to be a magical day for everyone.

I would usually see the same entertainers in children's party and I realized that I've never seen a magician at any of them. Booking was easy via email and his prices/packages are listed on the website. I had about 15-20 kids at my party and he did such an AMAZING job entertaining both children and adults! I went with 45 min magic show, 20 min balloon twist, and 20 min bubble show. Even though it was raining that day, Dave was very accommodating and communicated with me the different options for a bubble show in case he can't do it outside. He still made it happen and the kids had so much fun popping gigantic bubbles in the rain. I also appreciated how Dave's magic show was age appropriate with the smaller kids but still catered to the adults with a few magic tricks. I can't recommend him enough to other parents who are looking for a party entertainer. Thank you Dave for a memorable party!

Where do I start! Hank is, HANDS DOWN, the best party performer I've ever seen!!!…read more We hired Ninja Hank for our daughter's 6th birthday Ninja party which included about 35 kids and 40+ adults. Ninja Hank is ABSOLUTELY phenomenal! He literally appeared out of nowhere just as my daughter blew out the birthday candles and from that point on, for the next two hours, it was non-stop comedy and action! I'm not the laughing type, but I was literally in tears! I hadn't laughed like that in a long time. Ninja Hank is extremely energetic, engaging, and hilarious! All the kids and parents loved him! He easily outpaced all the kids and had everyone smiling ear to ear. He had (almost) everyone participating voluntarily! To give you an idea of how fun he is, everywhere he went, the entire party followed, just so we could watch him perform. He brought a whole bag of party tricks and games unlike any other. You can tell he really cares about his performance and I have no doubt he was 100% dedicated to our party. I didn't stop hearing complements about Ninja Hank until well after the party. I can't imagine a birthday party without him. Hank, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You have truly mastered the art of fun.

My daughter and her friends are BEYOND DEVASTATED!! THEY NO SHOWED AND DIDNT CALL!!! I am…read moreinfuriated with this company and I actually think they're a scam. I originally spoke with charlotte back in May and decided to book with them for 2 princesses for my daughters 5th b day. She was so kind and I felt so good about them. She told me someone would contact me by Thursday of this week to go over details of the party. I paid the deposit of $300ish. Thursday comes around and nothing. I call the same number as before (949-558-2873 and 3106517226) and no one picks up and not only is the voicemail different now but the voicemail is full on both phone lines so I can't even leave a message! Charlotte finally emails me back Thursday with a very generic confirmation of time and place. I emailed her back a total of 4 times requesting a call so we can go over details and structure of the party like she had promised me back in May. Nothing. Day of the event- THEY NOT ONLY NO SHOW BUT THEY DONT EVEN CALL!!!! I was scrambling to figure out what to do with 15 kids and ended up having to improvise for 2.5 hours. How DARE they do this to kids??? I called their after hours line and of course it goes to the same BS number with the full mailbox so I can't even leave a message. I'm hoping someone will read this and learn from my mistake. I have NO idea how they have this many positive reviews. It's beyond me. They must pay for their reviews. I can't even get a hold of anyone to get a refund so I'm going to have to dispute the claims with my bank unfortunately. It's not even the money at this point, it's how evil they and careless they are and how excited my daughter was for the princesses. She kept looking out the window waiting for them to show. I hope they get their karma. Please please please stay away and maybe go with a reputable company you've heard of. I wish I had. I have attached a copy of my paid deposit and their confirmation so they can't respond and say they never booked with me like they did a different customer that I read about in one of the help reviews. I hope this helps someone.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience warrants one…read more I hired an elf character based on the company's advertising, which promised an engaging holiday character who would sing, dance, play games with the kids, and offer activities like temporary tattoos. Unfortunately, the performance did not meet those expectations at all. The elf did not initiate any activities and appeared disengaged the entire time. I had to constantly prompt her to interact with the children. Several kids were upset, and multiple guests commented that she was not doing her job. At one point, she was standing in one spot chewing gum, which felt extremely unprofessional. Three of my guests even offered to write reviews on my behalf because they felt so bad about the situation. Instead of enjoying my party and hosting my adult guests, I ended up managing the entertainer myself and playing with the kids to keep them engaged--completely defeating the purpose of hiring entertainment. I contacted the company immediately after the party. The party coordinator responded promptly and confirmed that the elf claimed the children "weren't interested," which is why she didn't engage. I was told the owner would contact me to resolve the issue, but I never heard from him. I would give this service zero stars if I could. I am giving one star only because the coordinator was professional and responsive, which is the sole reason I booked this company. Unfortunately, the actual service was a major disappointment.
