We live too far to have a party and what looks to be an adorable venue, but had Darth and Kylo Ren visit our local park district for our Star Wars loving 6 year olds bday. Between my 3 kids I've used many character companies in the past and have had many experiences where they showed up late. Since this was my main entertainment for 23 kindergarten boys I was a little paranoid if they'd show up on time...or at all. I had arranged it all with Dan first on phone and then text. It was definitely a handshake deal vs an actual contract, which made me nervous. However, Dan delivered like he did for all other Yelp reviews...and Darth, Kylo and their very enthusiastic leader were early and ready to go right at party time. They did a fabulous job of captivating the kids for an entire hour of jedi training, dancing and other games. There were a few kids that were scared, but I also had a bounce house that kept those kids busy.The bounce house probably took some attention away from the characters, but if anyone is able to compete with a bounce house it's these guys. The bday boy and his friends had such a great time and so many parents at the party asked me where I found them since they were such a hit. My son was pretty sure it was just people dressed up before the party, but after the bash he assured me that Kylo and Darth are the real deal. :) read more

We had my son's 4th birthday party at Kids Kustom Parties yesterday. I cannot recommend them enough! They take care of everything - it was the easiest experience from booking to day of. Our hosts were so kind and full of energy!! Chase (Paw Patrol) and Batman joined the fun and were present for the entire party. The kids had a blast and the adults raved about how awesome everything was. THANK YOU Kids Kustom Parties! We will be back! read more

I can't say enough positive things about this family owned and run business! My 5 year old and his friends had the time of their lives at his birthday party. It was action packed with games and activities from start to finish. The party leaders (two "astronauts" because our party was space themed) were spectacular. Highly animated, engaging, playful, energetic, funny, and because they were truly enjoying themselves, so did the children. KKP really has it down beautifully. My son has high functioning autism, and they were unphased if he needed to take a break to wander, etc. I've never seen a room full of kids having so much fun before, and the family was lovely to work with. read more

They will not give you your pictures on time. I don't know why they would do that. It is a month now since we had birthday there and still waiting for pictures. read more

Wonderful experience with a Batman visit to my sons party. Both Batman and his assistant did a great job of engaging the kids, playing games etc. Minor downsides were that Batman's costume was a bit lacking. Frankly the costume my kid wears that I got at a garage sale is more imposing. Also, the assistant could have modulated her voice a bit for the space - it was extremely loud and would have been perfectly suited to the outdoors or a gym but in our small party room, was really overwhelming. read more

My daughter had a very awesome birthday party experience with the Frozen themed birthday party. I highly recommend Kids Kustom Parties! The staff is awesome, friendly, and do such a great job at interacting with the kids! Many thanks to Kids Kustom Parties for making my daughter's special day, even more special with memories that'll last a lifetime! read more

I highly recommend Kids Kustom Parties. We used them to come to us and had an amazing experience. Our event was suppose to be outside at a park and it rained unexpectedly about an hour before the party. They were super accommodating and came to our house instead. We had TMNT Raphael and his assistant. They kept the kids engaged with games and dancing for an hour straight and then took pictures with the kids. My son still talks about it a month later. We will definitely use them again. read more

Went to my granddaughters Princess Unicorn party there. It all ran smoothly and was so much fun. The Unicorn Princess was a ball of energy and awesome with the girls! read more

We had the descendants come to our house. I cannot rate them high enough. They immediately started singing and dancing and the girls went nuts. The dance party lasted the entire hour and the girls were sad when these ladies left. If you're thinking of this for your party I would highly recommend. read more

Very very disappointed I paid for a package that was supposed to include pictures from my daughter's birthday party......8 wks ago and still nothing. If I would have known I would have taken more pictures myself or waited to pay in full. Never again will I have a party here nor recommend it. Total rip off read more

Dan and his family did an amazing job with my son's 5th birthday party! Literally everything was taken care of, from the decor, food, entertainment, and goody bags. I got to sit back and mingle with guests while everything was taken care of. Most organized and well run bday party I've attended and my guests agreed. The kids had an absolute blast. I plan to use Kids Kustom Parties for future events! read more

Dan and his team are incredible. We have had 2 parties here for our child who is disabled and invited her friends who also have special needs and they are amazing. We had to cancel our last party at the last minute due to our child getting seriously ill and they were beyond accommodating and understanding. We can't wait to plan our next party with them. Book now: you won't be disappointed. read more

We hired Rapunzel and Spider-Man for my son and daughters birthday party. They did a fabulous job keeping the kids entertained and engaged! They made the birthday girl and boy feel so special. We loved them! read more

Phenomenal kids birthday party. Great attention to detail. Kids LOVED the party and Iook forward to planning future parties here.

I had my daughter 8th birthday party there . It was smoothly run and the kids had a very good time. Cinderella host was awesome. The only reason I gave a 4 star instead of a 5 star is that they charge 300 dollars for deposit . Which seems high to me. But we didn't need to cancel or reschedule anyway. Everything else was great. read more

My wife and I booked our sons 4th birthday party here. It was Toy Story themed. I've never seen so many kids enjoy themseleves like this! LIT!! They did a unbelieveable job keeping the kids engaged and entertained. The actors and actresses did an amazing job. I couldnt stop smiling. I dont know how they fit so many activities inside of 2 hours.I would highly recommend them! read more

We hosted my son's 5th birthday there today and it was excellent. First off, planning the party was a breeze as Dan was so responsive and a pleasure to work with. Then for the actual party Kids Kustom Parties took care of EVERYTHING! Activities, decorations, pizza, cake. We just showed up. The party attendants for amazing and made sure each and every kid had a good time. I was so impressed with their energy and how in tune they were with every kid. My son was a bit shy with all the attention and they did such an awesome job ensuring he was happy and had fun. It was such a fun time and I'd highly recommend to anyone! read more

We had Belle and Cinderella come for my daughter's 5th birthday car parade and they were fantastic! High energy, fun and knew how to engage kids. They brought a portable speaker and microphone and sang and danced. They looked the part too with elaborate dresses and makeup. They really helped to make her day so special. Will definitely use them again! read more

Kids Kustom Parties exceeded our expectations! This was a wonderful experience both planning with the venue and the execution onsite. The party we selected was a Moana theme for a 4 yr old. I'm one of those Moms who wants to take on everything for the party - baking treats, making decorations, planning games, cleaning the house to PERFECTION (lol) - and its so exhausting. Kids Kustom Parties took care of everything. Not only is the venue decorated to match the theme but they plan out each minute so there is no down time. My husband and I were able to watch our daughter enjoy herself but also catch up with our friends. Honestly, it was RELAXING which is a word you never associate with a kid's birthday party. Our character, Moana, was always alongside the birthday girl making her feel extra special on her big day. It was our favorite part of the experience - a memory that she'll hold onto forever. read more

We just celebrated my daughter's 3rd birthday with Anna and Elsa and they were amazing!!! Unfortunately during these times of Covid we didn't have any other kids at her party so Anna and Elsa did such a great job entertaining my daughter and making her feel special. Thank you again! And we will definitely be using you guys again! read more

We just had my twins' 5th birthday at Kids Kustom Parties and it couldn't have been better. Weeks later and my kids and their friends are still talking about how fun it was! Our party team was incredible and took care of every detail so were able to enjoy our party without having to worry about getting pictures or stressing about entertainment. I loved that we were able to do a split party theme so both my kids could enjoy the character they wanted. The Unicorn Princess and Captain America were wonderful and really kept all the kids engaged with all the activities...especially the dance party and tug-of-war. We can't thank the team enough for helping us throw such an unforgettable party! read more

What a amazing unicorn princess party we just had for our daughter. The whole family of staff was incredible to work with. This is the true definition of a strong, passionate small business. We didn't lift a finger. We were able to enjoy watching our daughter and her 13 friends smile from ear to ear. The unicorn to the dance party to the hair and nails, omg. Huge hit and job wel read more

If you're on the fence thinking whether to host a party here, do yourself a favor and book thIs place right away. We had our daughters 4th birthday at this place and it ended up being her best. As parents, we literally had to do nothing. We drove to the location as if we were attending a party and not organizing one. This family owned business is managed by some of the sweetest folks you're going to meet. Tip: Always go with two characters to double the fun. read more

We recently had our daughter's 4th birthday party at Kids Kustom Parties and it was excellent! Our daughter chose a Cinderella themed party and she was beyond thrilled that the real Cinderella was at her party and played with her the whole time! As soon as we walked into the main room my daughter's eyes lit up and she said it was exactly what she wanted. There were three large screens with a carriage, castle, and ballroom projected on them. The room also had a pretty chandelier and balloons which added to the magical ambiance. The second room of the party had the main table for the kids to eat at which was decorated with princess plates, cups, and napkins. This room also held a craft table for the kids to make royal scepters or superhero shields and there were plenty of games/activities to keep the kids occupied. The final room of the venue is a salon where the girls could have their nails painted and pick out a princess costume to wear during the party. The number of dresses for the girls to choose from was amazing, two full racks with every princess you could imagine! Not only is the venue amazing but the owners are fantastic! Dan, Laura, and their girls do an awesome job of planning all the details and keeping the party running smoothly. The kids were kept entertained during the whole party and there was never a dull moment. It was fantastic to just show up and have everything planned perfectly from the moment our guests arrived to the time they received their goody bags at the end of the party. I highly recommend Kids Kustom Parties and know that we will be back again for another birthday party! read more

Love, love, love the staff/owners. We've used the princesses and the facilities several times. Great service. The kids love the characters. When Cinderella came to our party she brought her own props and they took pictures for us. Not to mention each kid received prizes. When we had our Frozen party at the facility we had full use of the entire place. Such a great set up. Pizza and drinks for the kiddos. Games, rides, tattoos, etc. And of course, pictures. I love this place so much that I have referred several friends and family members. Dan, the owner, is so nice and friendly. He made sure my kids had their parties exactly as I asked for. read more

We were looking for a place that would provide a princess experience for our soon to be 5 year old daughter and came up empty until we finally found Kids Kustom Parties. They're a family owned business in Palatine located along Northwest Hwy (Yelp does not show the correct location so use Google). The parents oversee management and the two daughters are theater actresses that create a skit customized for your child. The venue: the place is deceptively large, separated into 4 areas: foyer with refreshments for parents (coffee, water, etc), the skit room (with 3 full wall projectors that display your theme, movies etc. ..by far the best in creating the atmosphere and where the actors do their skit, stories, dances etc ), the play room (trampolines, slides, tables for food, etc) and finally the salon room (which had several hair and nail stations for girls, air brush tattoos for boys and a huge selection of costumes for the kids to chose from). The activity: the day of, they took care of everything, all we did was show up, enjoy and walk out. Best party experience ever! They decorate based on your theme (Ariel for us), put up movies in the background for an immersed experience. The girls came out and did their skit which was funny, entertaining and engaging with kids of all ages. After the skit they take the girls transition to a room full of costumes (princess in our case but superhero or star wars for boys), then they do hair and nails for the girls (yep!) and/or tattoos for boys. This is followed by another game, then a craft (we selected wands for girls & Captain America shields for boys), more games, Pizza and apple juice/water followed by cake (all of which is included in the price) and then more games, dances, etc. If you want a fun customized party for your kids, this is the place to go anywhere in the Chicagoland area. We searched and came up empty until we stumbled upon them at a Village Parade. So check them out! read more

By far the EASIEST and most fun bday party we've ever thrown! My 6 year old said it was the best day of her life! We just showed up and everything was taken care of which meant we could actually talk to our friends and enjoy ourselves. The hostesses were so warm and energetic, they kept the kids occupied the entire time and we didn't have to worry about them at all. Loved that we had the whole place to ourselves, especially with Covid. Just the perfect bday for our girl!!! read more

Just had my daughters 9th Birthday party here today! Seriously the best party ever!! They do everything and you can sit back and enjoy!

We did my daughters 3rd bday here, Mickey and Minnie theme, and everything was beyond wonderful. I think my daughter had the greatest time ever. The staff was incredible, Jacklyn made everything so fun for all the kids. It was wonderful, safe, clean and everything you need in one shot. The owners made everything super fantastic and easy to work with. All in all everyone was shocked with how fantastic the party was and how all the kids had such a great time. Never a dull moment or bored child. We had kids there ranging from 1-11 and it was a fantastic party for everything. Thank you Kids Kustom!!! read more

I cannot say enough about this place!!! We had Jojo Siwa come to my daughters birthday party and everything was fantastic. She came with this incredible energy and had all of the kids dancing and singing within seconds or arriving. She also took her time with each child and made sure everyone was included and having a great time. She also sand happy birthday and took the time to hang out with the kids afterwards and talk to them. They were thrilled! Thanks for everything!!! Will use again! read more

We just had a second party there. First one was last year for my older 4yo and this time now for my younger 3yo. Everything was immaculate. They take care of every little detail: you just need to show up. Themed decorations, plates, utensils, food, and cake. Seriously nothing left and everything is top of the line: no generic junk. Even goody bags were great! Kids loved it. We had every age from 3 to 11 and everyone had something to do. Boys or girls. We did a PJ Masks theme. My son is still talking about it for 2 days straight. Couldn't recommend anyone better! read more

I am extremely grateful for the crew at Kids Kustom Parties! My family had a large birthday party for my nephew's first birthday and the actors did an AMAZING job keeping the kids entertained. The ages ranged from 1 to 12 and each and every one of them was so happy. We had Moana and Spider-Man come to the venue. I spoke with Dan who was very helpful in determining every detail for the party and his recommendations worked out perfectly. The crew was extremely professional and flexible as we had to make some last minute changes to accommodate to the venue. I cannot emphasize enough how great the team was and I definitely will book another party with them in the future! read more

We had Evie & Mal for my daughter's 9th birthday party. They were awesome. They sang & danced & interacted with the kids well.

We just had did 2 parties with Princess Elsa for my daughters 6th birthday. One was a Zoom party and the other a drive by parade. My daughter loved it as did all her friends. Princess Elsa was great and really engaging with everyone. We played games and sang songs. Thank you Kids Kustom Parties! read more

Kids Kustom Parties made our son's birthday so memorable, and we cannot thank them enough. The setup and the crew made sure all of the kids had an enjoyable time. From my one year old to my teenager, there was something to accommodate all ages! They really took the time to understand what we were looking for and executed to perfection! The kids all had a great time and couldn't ask for anymore. read more
