My daughter's 3-year-old birthday was coming up, and she had a very specific wish -- she absolutely loves Pinocchio and the Blue Fairy. It has been her favorite movie since she was 2 years old. I searched everywhere but couldn't find any party company offering these characters the way I imagined. I had previously worked with Creative Kids Parties for a Christmas party, so I decided to call them again. I was lucky enough to speak directly with the owner, Lisa. At first, she told me they didn't have those characters available, so I went ahead and booked Donald Duck and thought Minnie would be a great addition. But just a few hours later, Lisa called me back with the most incredible news -- her team was willing to create custom costumes for Pinocchio and the Blue Fairy just for my daughter's party! I was beyond excited -- truly over the moon. Lisa handled everything with such care, attention, and professionalism. She went above and beyond -- even attending the party herself to make sure everything ran smoothly. That level of dedication is rare and so appreciated. The characters -- Donald Duck and his assistants, along with Pinocchio and the Blue Fairy -- did an absolutely UNBELIEVABLE job. The kids were completely engaged, happy, and entertained the entire time. It truly felt magical. Lisa supported me so much throughout the process -- I honestly couldn't have done it without her. Her team is respectful, responsible, and clearly experienced in working with children. I will absolutely continue working with Lisa and her team in the future. Thank you for making my daughter's 3rd birthday so special and unforgettable! read more

I took our two granddaughters to The Princess Tea and it was so darling! Always so lovely and the gurls were entertained beautifully. I Just took my 19 month old again to see Miss Rachel! She was as amazing! Very entertaining. Highly recommend their classes and character days! read more

This was our second year hiring Creative Parties for Kids, and once again they absolutely exceeded our expectations. For my son's 4th birthday, we hired three characters: Spider-Man, Superman, and Supergirl. And they were incredible. All of the superheroes were so engaging with the kids and never broke character, which made the experience truly magical. Every child (and honestly, the parents too!) was completely entertained and impressed. We hosted the party at My Gym, and the superheroes worked seamlessly with the My Gym team to create an incredible, well-organized experience. They led the kids through a full "training" experience which included a warm-up, tug of war, zip lining, piñata, and ending with a bubble party. The flow was perfect, the energy was high, and the superheroes truly took the party to the next level. If you're looking to elevate your child's birthday party and create an unforgettable experience, I can't recommend Creative Parties for Kids enough. We'll definitely be booking again! read more

Lisa did an incredible job finding us the perfect Santa for our holiday party. When we told her we had 20 2-6 year olds to entertain, she came up with a great plan and with the help of Santa Sean, executed it perfectly. He was a phenomenal and charismatic Santa that captivated all our guests. We'll definitely be back. read more

We hired Game Jockey for my son's birthday party at home. Cole came with many props and he made sure all 6 kids have super fun. Big or small scale parties, they can make it special. Thanks for making my son's 8th birthday special read more

Two weeks short notice we contacted Creative Parties for my son's 3rd bday party. They are professional and quick in response. We had the Spider-Man coming to our party and it was a blast. My son is shy and our Spider-Man (Sean) was patient and nice. He held his hands and even played with him in the bounce house. Not to mention the fun activities he did with the kids. Will definitely book their service again! Highly recommend! They know how to work with kids! read more

We booked Meekah for my daughter's 4th birthday party after comparing prices from a few different companies. A few days before her party, Lisa called to tell me that the Meekah who was supposed to be at the party was sick. We didnt know what to do and called different options but there didnt seem to be an alternative. Lisa worked with us through the entire process and found us a Meekah. She was super communicative and did everything in her power to provide the best service she could. Meekah and her friend, Kayleen, we're amazing. My daughter and her friends danced and had a blast. We have a nephew on the spectrum who wanted a turn at something that we didnt have time for and when we had a moment, they made sure that he was taken care of. Thank you to Lisa and their team for coordinating everything- for being open and communicative, for the two fantastic ladies for loving on our daughter. This company will do everything in their power to help your kids have the best party. Book with Kayleen as your performer if you can. She did so well with the kiddos. read more

My daughter had such a great time! Definitely recommend. Thanks so much for great entertainment.

We just had a party with Mickey Mouse for my son. He was turning five. It was fantastic. The host Stefanie was high energy, super fun, and super engaging with the kids. Every song, activity, and game chosen was a hit. The kids had a blast and the parents said the entertainment was original and entertaining. Highlights for my son were the parachute, a card from Minnie Mouse (he won't stop talking about that!) and all the dancing. Highly recommend! I would give more stars if I could. Also, booking was easy. Everyone who works there is extremely helpful and kind. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Creative Parties for Kids on Labor Day weekend. We had our event at a park and of course it would fall on a busy day where the parking lot was full. Stephanie coordinated her team to ensure the character (Ariel) would have a parking spot and not spoil the magic for the children. Her team consist of (Ariel) character for our meet & greet and a face painter; they were all great with the kids and parents! They made sure each kids received a face paint if they wanted one. BONUS: they surprised the kids with balloon animals too! I would highly recommend hiring them for corporate events, parities, or any events to add that extra razzle dazzles magic for the children read more

Creative parties for kids helped me entertain at my son's 2nd birthday party and I am so happy I called them! Me Rachel came and sang songs and performed interactive play with the kids, just like the show! The resemblance is also on point! Stefani, the performer, called me twice in advance to plan for the show. She asked specifics about what my son liked about Ms Rachel, which songs, which games and planned a whole show around that. She handmade a poster with my son's name to make him feel extra special! My son had just woken up from a nap and he was a bit cranky but Stefani kept trying and trying and soon after my son started smiling and interacting. Don't hesitate to hire this company with high quality performers! read more

WOW!! Lisa, John and their staff blew us away today. When I walked into the venue, my jaw literally dropped to the floor because the decor was on point, beautifully done and you could tell they put their heart into making our party spectacular!! Everything from the cake, balloons, tablescapes, arts and crafts... just perfect! The performers were truly magical too and my daughter could not stop smiling all day. Elsa, played by Mallory, was able to captivate all of the busy/crazy kids. Her voice held the attention of the entire room as she led the fun activities, games and songs. She also sang "Let It Go" so beautifully and my daughter was truly memorized. Finally, she gave the party goers cute and shiny tattoos. My daughter refuses to wash it off now! Everyone could tell Mallory had experience, showmanship, stage presence and talent. She did an amazing performance as Elsa. Cinderella, played by Abigail, was such a sweetheart and so loving towards my daughter. She personally interacted with Lauren many times, making her feel incredibly special and important. Lauren was very drawn to her especially when she went looking for that missing glass slipper. Lauren chose to wear her Cinderella pJs tonight for bed and asked if Cinderella could come over for dinner haha, thank you Abigail :) Unicorn Sprinkles, played by Mia, was a happy and vibrant Mascot. Her movements were upbeat, social and interactive. She was always willing to take as many photos with guests and danced/stood the entire time! And that is one hot and heavy costume to wear for over 2 hours! I remember she even made horse sounds when we took photos, which cracked me up. Great performance by Mia! Extra staff - the company hired a ton of additional staff to help move things along. I really appreciated how the staff catered towards the needs of every child and made everything feel organized. The owner, Lisa, really loves what she does and she puts her soul into her work. She supervises the entire event, reads the environment, steps-in when needed and tailors each activity to the crowd. At first my daughter was shy, but Lisa was able to open her up and soon enough she was jumping for joy. We now have memories we will cherish forever. Thank you so much!! read more

Absolutely amazing party with Creative Parties. They were phenomenal. I thought it would be hard keeping our 2-3 year olds entertained for an hour, but they did it with ease. Totally recommend. We also want to mention that our child Loves Meekah (blippis best friend), and it was so hard to find meekah until creative parties found the best Meekah! She personified the character so well, my daughters truly believed it was Meekah with them. Lisa did an amazing job reading to the kids, they all loved Thulie the Dino! read more

Big shout out to Danielle Brenes and her creative team for providing the Star Wars characters that I needed for my son's 5th birthday parties...yes that's right, plural for 2 parties because her and her team were a trio of Star Wars characters. The first party was on 5/4/2024 aka "May the Fourth" which we had Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, and Danielle as Princess Leia for 1 hour. They came early which provided adequate time to make sure the guests would take their seats and be ready for their epic entrance with the Star Wars movie theme song playing (which they brought and were playing on their speaker) as they entered the front doors of a restaurant where the birthday party was located. Indoor games were provided by the characters such as "The Floor is Lava," "Freeze Dance game," and Star Wars trivia...however the best part was the Jedi training with foam tubing aka pool noodles that Danielle brought in a basket, very organized and well equipped. They also helped with singing happy birthday for the cake cutting, posing for pictures, and also had a poster board which guests could sign as a giant birthday card to the celebrant. The 2nd party we had was on May 11th and being that we were at an outdoor venue with more kids as guests, the characters had more room to play and even did activities such as the parachute and tug of war. For this party, we had Darth Vader, Princess Leia, and a Jedi Master possibly Obi Wan Kenobi which was for a total of 2 hours. Total cost for both parties was $1,070 which we paid with 2 separate transactions via credit card. So if you want to have an experience that your kid and guests will thank you tremendously for, then get creative, Creative Parties for Kids that is, and sit back & enjoy the show! read more

Definitely recommend! We had Ms Rachel for my daughters 3rd birthday party and it was so much! The character Stephanie did a phenomenal job with all the kids playing and singing with them. And they were so accommodating to work with, Lisa was wonderful to work with and really wanted us to be happy! Thank you again!! read more

I own an event planning company and work with Creative Parties for Kids to provide many of our characters. They recently provided a Moana character for one of my clients. She did an excellent job. She arrived on time, looked great (both in terms of being cast well for the part as well as her costume), knew her character's story and details, and did a great job keeping the kids entertained with her singing, games, etc. read more

Creative parties were amazing for my son's birthday party. They really care to make sure the event goes super well which it did. They are extremely detail orientated and guide you through the whole process with helpful tips and plan how to make the party really special.

I cannot express my gratitude for this company. We hired them for the second time (this time for live-action Ariel and Price Eric, last time for Blippi). The actors were fantastic. Ariel was gorgeous and had a beautiful voice. She got into the pool with the kids! The Prince Eric actor was so handsome, the same guy who was our Blippi last year, and he was excellent and so engaging with the kids. The look on my 3 year old daughter's face when Ariel got into the pool with her is something I will never forget. I sobbed like a baby when she sang "Part of your world." I highly highly highly recommend this company if you're looking for a very fairly priced character for your child's party. They are professional, responsive, punctual, just amazing. read more

This is our second time using Creative Parties and they always do a fabulous job! They offer a lot of characters that other companies don't have, which is really nice! A couple years ago we had Kayleen come out, as Raya, and she did a lot of great custom games to the theme of the movie. The kids loved her and she kept them busy the whole time she was there! This year we had Rumi from K-pop demon hunters. Carolyn really did an amazing job staying in character as Rumi. She showed up and instantly got our party to the next level. She had the kids engaged the entire time she was there. She really customized our activities to meet my daughter's interest and her age group. She's an amazing vocalist and really hit the notes of the famous "Golden" song. She greeted each and every kid at the party and started with a fun "couch, couch" game getting to know everybody and giving them a chance to talk. Besides singing and dancing, she taught them a dance routine to one of the songs, did some warrior training to the songs, and played musical chairs. She is very talented. I highly recommend Creative Parties to book a character for your next party! read more

This is my first yelp review ever but I just couldn't let it go without saying how incredible our experience was. I reached out to CPFK about a month ago to book Mirabel for my daughter's Encanto second birthday. Lisa and Danielle immediately contacted me and was so professional from the very beginning. She texted me updates and always responded quickly. The day of the party, the Mirabel character (Angel) arrived early and was extremely kind. She made the entire experience SOOO much fun for the kids and she was seriously exactly like Mirabel! Everything from her costume, props, just her personality in general was just spot on. She played games with the kids, did crafts, a parachute, and sang songs all within one hour. All of my family and friends are now wanting to book more characters for their future events. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to your entire team for the best service!!! Seriously everyone if you're on the fence about booking, do NOT hesitate. You will not be disappointed, I promise! read more

I hired Poppy and Branch for my daughter's birthday party, and Lisa and her workers were very communicative and professional throughout the whole process. The hosts contacted me prior to the party to go over all the details and they even came dressed up on the Trolls theme which really added to the magic of it all! I've hired other character companies and the hosts came dressed normal which was fine, but I thought them dressing up was a really nice touch. Autumn, Skye, Lydia, and Mia showed up exactly on time and were great! The kids had an amazing time with them, and they even made a birthday card for my daughter's friend to sign. Super thoughtful! Would definitely hire again. read more

Good communication from the owner and the girls who played the characters of Anna and Elsa from Frozen were great. They played a parachute game which the kids enjoyed. The characters were dressed well but a little soft spoken, otherwise everyone had fun. Would definitely recommend for others to hire them. read more

We were over the moon ! Such a fabulous Elmo and helper ! The kids had a blast and so did the adults !

Used creative parties to bring a swimming mermaid and pirate to our daughter's 4th birthday pool party.

They even called the week before to find out about my daughter's personality, likes, and interests. Will 100% book again for future parties. read more
