Our Spider-Man was wonderful with the kids--they were completely engaged and had so much fun. My son absolutely loved his birthday party, especially all the Spider-Man and superhero activities.

Thank you for making my son's birthday so special and memorable! Now I know exactly who to call for my kids' future birthday parties. Highly recommend

I only have wonderful things to say about Sara! From the very first contact, everything was easy…read moreand straightforward. On the day of my daughter's birthday, just 40 minutes before the party, she had an accident and needed to go to the hospital for stitches. Even in the middle of all the pre-party chaos, Sara kindly took my call and offered me great options. Since she had another event scheduled right after ours, we decided to keep the original plan. We had about 15 kids at the party, and Sara made sure every single one of them felt included and had fun, from face painting, to the parachute games, to the balloon creations. The kids had an AMAZING time, and every parent there complimented her work. I 100% recommend Sara, and without a doubt, I'll be booking her again for our next party!

Everyone had such a great time, and the kids were completely entertained. He did an incredible job with the balloon twisting, and the bubble show was such a fun touch!

Our guests kept talking about how much they enjoyed it! We couldn't have asked for a better experience for the twins' celebration. Thank you so much, Andy, for helping make the day so special and memorable! We would absolutely recommend him and would love to have him again for future celebrations!

We decided on face painting, a glitter bar and time for entertainment. Gale was our assigned fairy; she reached out a few days before our event. The morning of, we found out very last minute that we had to change our venue due to rain and Gale was flexible and was right on pace - after a quick text to her, she showed up as the new location on time. She arrived in a very festive Encanto/Mirabel outfit; our location change ended up being to our home and garage. Gale led an entertaining puppet show (several other parents thought for a short while that her rabbit puppet was a real animal) - kids and parents enjoyed it! The kids loved her artistry with her glittery tattoos on their face and hands. Her balloon animals were also a huge hit. It was fantastic to have 1 person with so many great skills to keep kids happy. As my husband and I were running the party, we loved the fact that we were able to keep ~25 2 to 5 year olds entertained for the 3 hour party (2 hours during which Gale was there). It was the best decision to have hired her. Booking with the company was also very easy and organized; I highly recommend it and would do it again. Thanks Gale for making our kid's birthday special and fun, and to the team at Happily Ever Laughter for being so organized and thoughtful. Worth it!!

Outstanding, professional, punctual -- and FUN!…read more All the kids at my daughter's birthday party had an absolute blast. The only "complaint" I have is that my daughter now wants a birthday party every weekend They truly created a memory for her that I'm sure will stay with her for a lifetime in the most positive way. It seems my daughter is now known at school for throwing awesome parties! I will definitely hire them again and highly recommend them for any kids' event. I was honestly anxious about entertaining a group of children in my cozy home, but they took a huge burden off my shoulders and made the entire experience stress-free.

Prior to the event I reached out to them to confirm details, our kid and friends were very happy with Rumi/Kpop theme. Jennifer kept the kids engaged & made sure the birthday girl had a good time. Few other parents asked for their contact right away after the party!

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

I booked with them for a Bluey character to come to my kids' birthday party.

Nomi was AMAZING! He was so professional, cool and handled the requests of kids so well. I will definitely be booking with this company again!

Unfortunately, the performer was actively involved for only about 20 minutes and spent much of the remaining time standing in a corner and waving. I later learned that Luis had quoted another client $260 for similar services, while I was charged $375. I was also told that the performer himself was being paid only $30 per hour. When I raised concerns about the service and pricing, Luis called me a liar instead of addressing them professionally. He also told me this was his "best performer" and that his other performers were female, which I found inappropriate and irrelevant. Overall, the service did not match what was promised, the pricing appeared inconsistent, and my concerns were handled very unprofessionally. I am extremely disappointed with this experience.
