[EDIT] I want to respond to Dulci's wildly inaccurate claims in detail. 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. read more

We loved our experience with I Am Princess parties. The young lady that was Ariel came on time and she looked just like the character she was portraying. 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. My daughter asked me when we could have another princess come to our house right after the party was over. The kids also loved getting their face painted as well. I would highly recommend I Am Princess Parties to anyone looking to have a wonderful Princess or character experience for their children! read more

We just celebrated my daughter's 5th birthday this past Saturday with a Disney Princess theme, and of course, her favorite princess Elsa had to be there! I found I Am Princess Parties through a Google search, and after browsing their website and reading reviews, I decided to give them a try and I'm so glad I did. The entire experience was wonderful from start to finish! Booking online was simple and straightforward. A couple of days before the party, Elsa (performed by Anastasia) called me personally to go over the details of her arrival and how the event would flow. On the day of the party, she arrived right on time and stayed in character the entire time, she was amazing! The kids absolutely loved dancing with ribbons, the two magic tricks Elsa performed, and choosing between face painting or balloon animals. Even the boys at the party had fun and got in on the balloon animals! I was so impressed with Anastasia's professionalism, energy, and attention to detail. She truly made the party magical for all the kids (and parents too!). I'm happy to give I Am Princess Parties a full 5 out of 5 stars. If you're looking for a princess performer for your next event, I highly recommend them! read more

Definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a magical birthday party! read more

Thank you so much Princess Belle (Emma) for helping make our 7 year old daughters birthday so special! She really enjoyed having a princess at her party and all the kids had a fun time.

Would definitely recommend. read more

Because my daughter said she wanted to see the real Elsa at her birthday party, I found I Am Princess Party. Our Elsa's name was Kayla. Kayla is a beautiful and energetic princess. She dressed up as Elsa on my daughter's special day and greeted all the kids politely and gently while telling stories. The children absolutely loved her. She was very patient, and throughout the whole party, both the kids and adults felt it was a wonderful experience. The children were full of curiosity and joy. I'm so happy I was able to invite you to my daughter's birthday party! read more

Princess Rapunzel (Emma) made our little girls birthday so special. She was so sweet and our daughter loved her. Would recommend!

Super easy to coordinate with the owner via text, she asked what character we preferred, got back to us with confirmation when she found the character (Ariel), who herself was super communicative in the days leading up to the party. Girls loved her! She sang her heart out. And the price was reasonable!! Would definitely book again! read more

We were so excited to have Encanto's Mirabel and Isabela join my four year old's birthday party! I was literally blown away by how incredible they were, I still can't get over it! They totally made our party and birthday girl could not be happier. Inquiry and booking process is very easy and the owner is very responsive. We actually booked Isabela first, and once we realized our headcount would be larger, she worked with me very quickly to book Mirabel as well. Isabela and Mirabel coordinated beforehand to plan their time. They played games, had magic tricks, twisted balloons, did face painting AND also sang a song from the movie!! Multiple folks commented to me that they were amazing. I will absolutely be booking with I Am Princess in the future, they're a dream to work with! read more

Had Batman come to my child's 4th birthday party. Was a great success. The performer was really nice and spent about 40 minutes as Batman playing games and dancing with the kids.

Elsa was very professional and interacted with children and birthday girl nicely. Would definitely recommend.

Hannah (Elsa) was an amazing performer. She made my daughter feel so special at her birthday party. She sang, told stories, did a magic show, and led a parade that kept the kids engaged. Then she transitioned to face painting (did an awesome job with beautiful rainbow/ flower designs for the girls and superhero designs for boys). She posed for photos and videos with all the kids and really brought incredible energy to the event. All of the other parents were impressed by her energy, ability to engage the kids (as well as her singing voice & artistic skills) and asked for booking info for their kids parties. Would absolutely recommend and book again! read more

So happy that we chose I Am Princess Parties for our lil girls 5th birthday party. Very professional. We chose the character as Repunzel and she was brilliant from the start till the end.

All the kids were flocked around her while she played games with them, performed some magic, story telling, face painting and balloon twisting. We had her booked for 90 mins but she extended a little more than that without a fuss. Very happy to have them host our princesses birthday party and would definitely recommend to anyone looking to do character parties. read more

We had an Amazing experience with I am princess parties. We hired two characters and they were fabulous. So magical and pretty. From their makeup to dress to their acting everything was perfect. Kids loved their fairies and they were absolutely the highlight of our birthday party. They were very creative with all our kids and made sure the birthday girl had a special time. They also did magic tricks and surprised birthday girl. And above all this I think the owner of this company Dulcinea she is fantastic. She is so accommodating and kind. She went out of her way to move our date to one day later due to forecasted rain. She made it possible to put smile on kids faces. I am so grateful to her to be so flexible and do everything she could do make it happens for us. Other vendors just cancel on you or don't try hard and trust me this happened with us with one vendor who obviously kept our security deposit but most of all didn't try hard to accommodate us. But no not Dulcinea she made it happen! So thank you Dulcinea we will be coming back to you again next year! read more

For my daughter's 7th birthday party, I wanted to surprise her with a character from Star Wars. They did a fabulous job with a Rey character (the warrior girl from the new trilogy movies) - she showed up on time, brought her Star Wars theme music, and kept my daughter engaged for the entire hour. They made balloon shapes together, did a light saber training academy, and when they were ready, the kids engaged in a friendly light saber battle with balloon swords for everyone. It was a lot of fun! Great job, Brianna. read more

We had Rapunzel for my daughter's party and she was amazing! She got into character the moment we met her and she was really engaging and fun. The kids all loved her! Her time management was perfect and we had some stories/magic, dancing with ribbons, singing, and face painting. The face painting was really well organized where kids got a number so they didn't have to wait in line - how smart! I must say this character experience is probably the best I've seen at a party! I Am Princess Parties was also very easy to work with. I had to move the party once due to rainy weather and the owner was very accommodating. These types of great businesses really deserve a shout-out. I highly recommend them! read more
