The children had an amazing time, and many parents commented on how magical, energetic, and engaging the party was. We were also very impressed with the team's fast, smooth communication throughout the planning process. Every question we had was answered promptly and thoroughly.

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!

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.

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...)!

But WOW Stephanie sold that Elsa magic so well--from the outfit to the makeup to her poise to her amazing singing voice. The joy my little girl felt all throughout her party and into today will be something our family will remember probably forever. Stephanie made her feel SO special, gave her such amazing care and attention, but also handled the other kiddos so beautifully. At least half the parents there begged me for the contact information for how we booked her. Thank you Stephanie for your professionalism, promptness, and everything you delivered on yesterday. We'll never forget it. Not to mention, Kalinda was very attentive through email during the booking process, and even while away in another country on vacation, she handled a last-minute performer swap wonderfully due to an emergency. She stayed in touched and made sure we were taken care of. 5-stars all the way.

I had the absolute pleasure of hiring Joe as Blippi for my daughter's special day, and I cannot express how thrilled we were with his performance. From start to finish, Joe exhibited the utmost professionalism and a genuine dedication to making the event memorable. One of the standout qualities that impressed me the most was Joe's exceptional communication skills. From our initial contact, he actively engaged in discussing our preferences and understanding what truly excited my daughter. It was evident that he was committed to tailoring the party experience to her interests, which was a delightful touch. On the day of the event, Joe arrived punctually to my daughter's school, setting a positive tone for the day ahead. As he stepped in as Blippi, I couldn't help but be amazed at how seamlessly he brought my daughter's interests to life. His incorporation of her favorite games and songs was nothing short of impressive, and it left a lasting impression on all the children in attendance. One testament to Joe's incredible talent and dedication is the fact that, to this day, my daughter's classmates still reminisce about that unforgettable party. The excitement and joy he brought to the children were simply unmatched. Many have even asked if they had the privilege of meeting the real "Blippi" actor! Joe's ability to captivate the kids and create such lasting memories is a true testament to his skills as an entertainer. Without a doubt, I wholeheartedly recommend Joe for your next party. His passion for what he does, his exceptional communication, and his ability to create an enchanting and unforgettable experience for children make him an outstanding choice. My daughter's special day was made all the more magical thanks to Joe, and I have no doubt that he will do the same for your next event. Thank you, Joe, for making our party a cherished memory that we will treasure forever. read more

I had at privilege of booking Joe for a third birthday party, and I can't express how delighted I am with the entire experience. As an event planner, I've worked with various entertainers, but the Blippi Character truly stood out. The client was absolutely thrilled with the performance and the meticulous attention to detail. Every single guest at the party was overjoyed, and the birthday boy had an absolute blast. Blippi was undeniably the highlight of the event, an the smiles on everyone's faces said it all. I wholeheartedly recommend his services. The professionalism, energy, and ability to captivate the audience was exceptional. Without a doubt, I'll be reaching out to Joe for future events.
