I used Magic Princess for my daughter's 5th birthday party. Positives: - Very professional. Responded to emails/voice messages promptly. - Cindrella called in morning to confirm and arrived on time and was flexible in adjusting to activities. - Cindrella was dressed to character very well and my daughter & her friends were thrilled to see a 'real' looking princess - Patient with questions/communications. Participated in party planning around activities, expectations Alrights: - Activities are strictly Ok. The puppet show is more of story telling than much to do with puppets. - Having attended and hosted many birthday parties for kids before :-), I'd say quality of balloon making and face painting was very basic as well Feedback for improvement: - Activities/story should be adjusted to make birthday girl feel more special. There was definitely one thing she did in story telling which made my girl happy but again, I have seen better. Bottomline: if your only focus is to get a nice princess to make your kid happy, then I'd definitely recommend this. But if you also want better quality in activities, then I'd also explore other options. read more

Used Tinkerbell recently for my step daughter party, she was great even the parents were amazed she was pretty, she stayed in character the whole time and she kept the kids attention. All the kids range from ages 2 to 6 and they loved it. I will for sure be using Magic Princess again! read more

amazing magic show and face painting at my daughter's 7th bday with a fairy theme. she was fun, patient, efficient, and made everybody happy! loved her fairy costume too. highly recommend! read more

Kris was Princess Elsa at our daughter's 5th birthday party and she made it absolutely memorable for us. We still have sweet memories from the birthday party. Kris is very professional, well-organized, punctual and can adapt to the situation and is very flexible to ideas to make the party a big success. The best part about the party is that boys feel very included even though it's a Princess theme. The adults equally enjoyed the magic show. Kris is very talented at singing and the Frozen sing along was a big success. The Princess Elsa led cake cutting was organized very well giving us an opportunity to click some wonderful pictures. Kris is a multi-talented performer who can do anything and everything from face painting, balloon twisting, singing, magic show, puppet show. Very few performers can do everything. Also, all the logistics from planning, preparing and organizing the event happened smoothly because of Kris's help. Thanks so much Kris! I highly recommend Kris to anyone who is planning their child's birthday party. read more

Kris as Elsa is beyond wonderful! Words cannot explain how awesome her performance is and how talented she is. She makes her show magical for both kids and adults and is in her character the entire time. Not only is her appearance perfect, she is super talented. I can promise there is no better Elsa, perhaps not even in Disneyland. Now Anna, is also amazing. Jen plays Anna and I am still in shock at her beauty and like Kris she is also super talented. I honestly recommend getting both Anna and Elsa. Together they make a perfect show. I couldn't imagine them without each other. They sing songs, act out scenes and keep the kids entertained the entire time. My niece Shaila had a blast, she still thinks she is dreaming that Anna and Elsa came to her party. They made her feel so special and I don't have words to thank Kris and Jen! They are both talented and beautiful but more than that they do their work with passion and love for children which no money in this world could buy. They are in my opinion the only real Anna and Elsa there will ever be! read more

Wonder Woman never showed up to my daughter's bday party yesterday 6/26!!!!! I had used this company 2 times in the past 5 years. The last time Ariel got lost and was 30 min late. I told this to Nikki and she promised me there would be no problems this time and that the performer would call me to check directions. I didn't hear from them Saturday night so Sunday morning, I called, emailed, texted with absolutely no response. The party started at 2:00pm and wonder woman never showed up. My daughter was crying and all her friends were so disappointed. Not to mentioned I had to improvise and entertained them myself. I was not ready for that. It was so stressful. They had charge me a $50 deposit and I still haven't heard from them about my refund or to get an apology. I have left them several voice messages since nobody answers the phone (even though is Monday 6/27) and have wrote many emails. I am extremely disappointed with the lack of professionalism from this company. They lost me as a client as well as the other 10 kids at the party. My friend emailed Kris to cancel her September reservation because of my experience. Kris referred to my case saying the performer's had a car emergency and what not. I still can believe they haven't address ME. I had to find out through that forward email. I wish I could rate "0" starts. What a horrible experience! Don't use this company if you want to avoid headaches and kids tears :( read more

I have one word. Horrible customer service! ! I was planning for my daughter first birthday party and thought this would be the perfect vendor for me with the"non scary clown" boy I was wrong .. First off the performer attire was horrible, I payed $200 for something I could have dressed up as , the clown was not entertaining at all , the kids complained about how horrible she was the whole time and the face painting was very basic, I was highly upset.. There were a schedule change 4 days before the party and kris assured me that was fine and that she would still be able to be my performer for the party , last minute I get a call actually the day before the party saying kris will not be my performer and have someone else step in. If I would have known that when I changed the date, I would have also changed my vendor... I felt as if I was made a promise that was not kept.!! After the party, I reached out to Kris and expressed my concerns, showed pictures and let her know how disappointed I was, she did nothing but apologize and made it seem like it was my fault , which made the apologies not sincere! ! I asked for a partial refund because the clown duration did not add up but she never got back to me.. This company does put the customers nor children first , I highly recommend not booking with this company , they may seem organized but they really aren't! ! I will never use their services again! ! read more

I wouldnt recommend this company to anyone. They were scheduled to show up at a bday party for my niece but they never did. Mom called and called with no response. They were contacted after the party. They offered the money back and a free show, however her b-day party is now past. We dont need a free show after the fact. There is really no way to make up for a mistake this big. There was a lot of very dissapointed people. They were very unprofessional. Do not use this company if you want dependable, professional bday entertainers for your next kids bday parties. read more

I uploaded a picture of the princess that came to the store and they deleted it , I not surprised she looked a hot mess!!!

AMAZING!!! Since the time Kris made her magical and musical entrance to the surprise of my 5 year old till the end of her show everything she did captured the imagination of all the kids present there. My 5 year old couldn't get enough of Kris. This was my very 1st time having a performer come to my child's party and boy i was glad I contacted Kris. From the time she arrived and she left she left every lasting impression on my daughter. I would recommend Kris to anyone who might be interested in her services. She was very courteous when i started email/text exchange with her and planned everything as per my requirement. She kept every single kid engrossed every single minute and they loved it. She was on time and did an amazing job. No amount of $$ spent would bring my daughter such joy and excitement. Thank you Kris from the Patel Family!!!. read more

WATCH OUT -This woman is complete scam artist!! Take a closer look at all of the Yelp reviews and you'll see a long list a dissatisfied customers. I just interviewed 2 Ex-employees who stated she didn't pay them for the work they did as performers . Do your best to find a better performer for your child's birthday party. There are quite a few legitimate Birthday Party Performers in the Bay Area that have a much better track record. read more

I saw Kris at a friend's party and she was amazing. It was outside and a lot of kids, but she was able to hold all of their attention and made the party very special. I knew that when my son's birthday came along I wanted her to come, not only for him and the kids, but so that I could relax and enjoy the party too. She was terrific and I plan too book her next year again! read more

I just had Kris come celebrate my 2 girls' birthday this past weekend. It was a Disney Frozen theme and she came as Princess Elsa and brought Princess Anna with her. My girls' were in awe.... also their friends. Everything flowed nicely and I'm very happy because they made my girls' happy. ;) Very professional and very engaging with all the girls. Will definitely hire Kris again. I just hope my daughters won't recognize her next time I hire her. Hehe. Thank you so much for a successful party! I referred you to a couple of moms so hopefully, they'll call you soon for their next event. read more

Awesome party! I chose 2 hrs and 2 performers to play Anna & Elsa. Kris played the Elsa part and the other performer played Anna. They were both fantastic and professional. My granddaughter who turned 5 just had the best time of her life! The kids were so engaged, danced and sang along with them. Other activities includes face painting, balloon sculpting and magic. Well even the adults enjoyed their show! I will recommend Kris the Magic Princess to everyone. read more

If only there was a negative or 0, that's what I really would have gave them. Long story short, the princess I hired never showed. I was never informed she could not make it till after I called a million times wanting to know what happen. They could have at least had a back up plan and sent someone else. But all in all, it's just bad business. It was for my daughters 1st Birthday party. She had 27 other kids waiting for this magic princess who never showed. Unless you want to be disappointed, don't do it! You will be sorry. read more

Kris was really really awesome. We used her services of face-painting and balloon twisting at my daughter's second birthday and all the kids loved it. She was very flexible on all terms. Made this an awesome experience even at such a short notice. Pricing was also better than others. She is right about it when she says other vendors send someone else whereas in her case you get who you speak with (which is her). Will definitely call her again and would highly recommend her to any and all kids parties. Thanks Kris. read more

I have used magic princess many times for my own family parties and also to help out with large events for my events company..Kris always provides exceptional customer service and will do whatever she can to accomodate requests. She still answers phone calls and responds to emails personally. We have been calling her for over 5 years! I have had her and her staff perform at small house parties to large scale harvest festivals.. .they are all fantastic storytellers, facepainters and all round artists that remain in character throughout the entire interaction. Thanks so much! Looking forward to your entertainment again soon. read more

Last weekend we had Anna and Elsa at my daughter's Frozen birthday party. They were amazing! I couldnt have asked for more. My daughter was so surprised to see Anna when she opened the door and then to have Elsa walk in while they were singing "Let It Go" was even more surprising. All the kids boys, girls and adults had a blast singing and dancing to all the songs from the movie. They sat and talked to the kids about Arendelle and answered all their questions. They made balloon animals, swords, bracelets and face painted everyone who wanted to and there were a lot of us. The face paintings were done quickly and beautifully. I want to have another party to have an excuse to have them come again. So worth the money for all the memories we had that day. They did not rush us and asked if we wanted to have her stay for the birthday cake. They were just wonderful and stayed in character the entire time. You will not be disappointed so book Magic Princess any chance you get! read more

I cannot begin to tell you how absolutely AMAZING Kris is!!! We've had performers at almost all our children's parties, and Kris is by far the best!!!!! She texted when she was on her way, called a few minutes before so that I could organize the kids into a circle, walked in as Elsa and begin singing (with a portable, matching blue pill speaker playing Frozen music). We had 12+ kids and each one (including boys!!!) were mesmerized! Kris, thank you for making our party memorable. We look forward to having you back as various different characters for both our son and daughter's parties in the future. ***DO NOT WORRY about previous negative reviews. Those are from when she ran a large company a couple years ago. She shut that down, and now does every single party herself.*** read more

She was amazing. Great singer, amazing face painting artist, funny and she really played the princess role. I would absolutely recommend her. She performed for my 9 year old daughter and all girls were totally engaged. She was super professional and sweet. read more

We had "Elsa" entertain at my daughter's 4th birthday party. It was the best decision ever! Kris was VERY good with the kids. She was able to keep them engaged and completely entertained for a solid hour. This included singing, games, puppet show, face painting, balloon animals. Truly amazing. My sweet girl is still talking about her "special guest" several days later. I cannot recommend her enough. Great communication, reliable and a true pro! If you are looking for an entertainer, I would definitely give her a call. read more

We had princess aurora (bryce) come to my daughter's 4th birthday party. This was our first time using magic princess and I was a little nervous because I have read all the reviews and there were many that were not a fan of magic princess. Well, sleeping beauty came to our house on time and all 12 girls were excited to see her. She did magic tricks, face painting, and balloon animals. She kept the girls entertained and was Disneyland quality. The parents were impressed with her too! Thank you sleeping beauty for making my daughter the luckiest birthday girl because a princess came to her house! read more

I went to my nieces 3rd party last Saturday to see Princess Tiana. I was very excited to see what the princess would look like being that Princess Tiana is Walt Disney's FIRST African American princess and instead experienced a Hispanic Fairy from the Magic Princesse s, and was in total SHOCK and DiSBELiEF that this company would send something like this to a Child's Birthday Party! Not only was it the WRONG character, but she was FiLTHY and looked far from Magical. Her performance was POOR. She only had 2 choices of Face Paintings, so all the boys were running around looking like what made out to be a Panda Bear of some sort, and the girls had the McDonalds Arch that was suppose to be a butterfly. My mother face paints for fun and literally took glitter out the party bags to fix the children up. The balloon art was exactly the same. The boys had Swords, the girls had flowers, and you couldnt tell them apart. I understand that the art of face painting and balloon making can be hard, but CLEANSiNESS is just comon sence when dealing with the public and more importantly other people's children. After seeing this, I would most definitely not recommend any of my friends or family to call this place. read more

doesn't seem like there has been a good review in a few years. I wonder why. I have tried hiring Kris the magic princess for my daughters birthday party. I tried getting in contact 3 times. I did not get any response through email or the phone. Not sure how she can stay in business with not responding to people. But I would not want to hire someone who does not even return calls. from the look of the reviews over the last couple years looks like I saved my daughter from a disappointed no show princess on her big day. read more

I've seen Kris perform as Elsa and Belle...she's phenomenal!! She was Elsa at our school festival and completely captivated the kids. She walked around, took pictures, and sang with everyone. There was a lot going on, but she was the perfect addition. I saw her as Belle at a birthday party and that was awesome. She interacted beautifully with the girls, was down on there level when talking with them. Her wit was really entertaining for the parents too. Overall, she's the perfect princess and has a beautiful singing voice too, of course. I would definitely hire her again. read more

I couldn't have found a more PERFECT Princess! Kris has not only done my Grandaughters last 3 Birthday Parties n done an amazing job she has now become a friend of our family. Kris, really knows how to entertain the children n keep them focused for the entire time she was with us. Kris even keeps the adults entertained....LOL!! Story time, balloons, singing Happy Birthday with the whole party n back to face painting! You definitely get your money's worth n you can't go wrong choosing her for your childs parties! I can't wait until next years party....See You then Kris!! We LOVE You! read more

Loved Kris! My daughter has met her twice before (though she doesn't know it) at another child's birthday parties as a Fairy, and as Elsa, and both times were among her most memorable party experiences. I was very impressed both times, and so I snagged a business card the first time. I really wanted to plan something for my daughter, which I finally did for her 6th birthday. On the planning end of things, Kris is super friendly and professional. She was immediately responsive to all emails and text questions I had, so that everything went very smoothly, and kept me updated as the event drew nearer so that there was no anxiety. During the event, she was here as Dorothy, and right from the start had all 8 of the children engaged and caught up, and they had a fantastic time. I would recommend her to anyone! read more

Kris came to my daughter's 5th birthday party as Ariel the little mermaid. She did a fantastic job! Sang songs from the movie with musical accompaniment, magic show, face painting and balloon animals for about 12 kids aged 2 to 6. The face painting was really good, with glitter and everything! And she was so fast! Of course she came in full mermaid costume (which was beautiful) and stayed in character the whole time. She was very good with the kids, got them engaged in the show! Even the adults enjoyed watching and participating. The parents kept asking me where in the world I found her! I found her right here on yelp! I really liked how well Kris communicated. She called me right away when I expressed interest in her on her website. She checked-in and confirmed a few days before the party. When she thought she would be a few minutes late, she texted. When she was 3 minutes away, she texted me to get the kids ready. Very professional! She made my daughter's birthday party so much easier for me! I was going to have the party outside, but it rained and I was nervous about there being enough space in my living room. But Kris sat on the floor with the kids and got right to their level. This was a party that many friends and kids will be talking about for months! Totally recommend her! read more

Kris did an awesome job. All the kids were waiting for her and especially the adults as the kids didn't know what to do. She arrived and took the kids and they were listening and they calmed down. My daughter was so happy to see Cinderella. She aksed for a facepainting. Kris made it fast and it was beautiful! She also made some balloon twisting. I recommend having her if you want to have a good birthday party!! read more

I'm so frustrated and writing this review. They didn't give any confirm call or return my call. So I didn't know if they are coming or not until the moment magicprincess showed up on my daughter's birthday party. She showed up late and the performance that she prepared lasted about 5 minute and that's all. Definitely that's not worth $200. I should have checked the yelp by myself, not letting my wife decide whatever she see on the google. read more

I could not have been more pleased with our experience with Kris. She made 20 children (and all of the adults and onlookers) so happy. She was funny, charming, sweet, intuitive, and so helpful. I would hire her again in a heartbeat! read more

Wow wow wow! Kris is absolutely wonderful. Professional in every way and a HUGE hit at my granddaughter's 5th birthday party today. I don't even know where to start to list my praises... Kris was great to work with ahead of time - responded right away to my emails, very responsive to follow up questions and was completely unflappable when we had to change the date, the place and the time... :/. She could not have been more gracious or understanding and was completely supportive when I was in a panic about the changes. Today she arrived right on time and, for all intents and purpose, "was" Ariel (no easy feat when the party was in a park....!). We had twenty 5 year old guests and she was wonderful start to finish. Kris is a talented face painter (a real artist by the way - very impressive) and she was patient and sweet as she talked to each child about "life under the sea". She charmed them all. When it came time to sit them down to sing and do her show they were completely mesmerized. She has a truly lovely singing voice and got them all to sing - boys and girls. Best of all, she made my granddaughter feel special. She created very special memories today and we are deeply grateful. If you are considering a visiting princess look no further as Kris is "the one". You could not ask for better. (An additional note: we asked Kris to stay a full hour and a half because we had so many guests. It ended up being a great decision - she filled the time beautifully). read more

Kris was awesome!!! We recently hired her as Itsy-Bitsy, the friendly clown, for my son's 3rd birthday party and he and all the kids absolutely loved it! She captivated them the entire hour, transitioning seamlessly from singing with her guitar (she has a beautiful voice), to balloon animals, then best of all to face painting. I kept the party on the small side, so she was able to make a balloon animal and face painting for each child. Still, she made a big deal of the birthday boy and made him feel extra special. He could not get enough of his leopard face paint! He roared all day :) I was looking for fun, low-stress entertainment for my son's birthday, and Kris was perfect. She was super friendly and easy to deal with, and gave me an incredible deal for a weekday party. I highly recommend Kris! read more

Kris was quite professional, came on time, did an awesome job with entertaining kids with songs, magic show and face painting.

Simply put Kris is the BEST! She is the highest quality children's entertainer in the Bay Area. I can see why she has received such accolades from pleased parents, Fairyland, and other long time local institutions. I met Kris at a classmate's birthday party. I couldn't believe a performer like her existed; so when it was time for my daughter's 5th Birthday I found her on Yelp and booked her right away. Before our event, Kris kept up prompt and positive communication to get plans laid. During the event, she was "on" from the moment she rolled up. We had a birthday in the park, Princess Jasmine arrived with music accompanying and a beautiful bag full of play items, ready to go. As a teacher and mom, I naturally pay attention to how adults respect and engage with children. Kris is tops! She is a gifted educator and performer; her extensive training in child development sets her apart. At the events where I've seen her, Kris has shown that she is a master of reading the children, the setting, and party as a whole. All the children were mesmerized by her singing and musical play with them. They loved her magic tricks and even the older boys gravitated back toward the action interested with what she had to offer. I heartily recommend Kris. read more

AMAZING is an understatement for Kris! She has been doing our parties (2 times a year) for a few years now and every year she just keeps getting better and better - but I'm not sure how, because she is already amazing! She raises the bar on herself and everyone simply adores her. I cannot stress this enough when I say STOP SEARCHING and book Kris! You will not be disappointed. She is professional, lovely, talented, creative and is better then us parents to our own kids! She is worth every penny and we can't wait to have her back. Thanks Kris! :) read more

I rarely write Yelp reviews, but I feel that I need to share with other parents out there how wonderful Kris is!! She performed at our daughter's first birthday party and was an absolute hit....she had all my grown aunts wanting to take a photo with her and our daughter was completely enamored with Kris. I chose to have her perform a puppet show and ballon twisting. The birthday girl absolutely loved the puppet show and so did all of the other little kids...when she noticed that she was starting to lose the big kids' attention, she asked if she could do a magic trick to bring them back and it worked! Kris was also great at making sure we were able to capture the best moments. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a birthday performer for kids. She was fantastic! read more

She was great !!! I'd highly recommend her ! She did a very entertaining magic show for my daughters 4th bday party . They loved it ! She played music and also sang songs which was great . The face painted was top of the line and she was very fast an efficient. She's very good as what she does and I will definitely be hiring her for future parties ! read more

Kris is absolute delight for kids! Look no further and hire her for her entertainment services. She was a complete package. She was everything that I was looking for. Princess in Costume, magic show, face painting, balloon twisting. she did all for the party of 12-14 kids in an hour and my kid was absolutely thrilled and delighted seeing 'Sofia the First' princess at her party. FYI, our party was for 4-6 age kids and seemed perfect entertainment for that age group(esp magic show). Her coordination with hosts is also commendable. I didn't even remind her about the party coming up after booking the appointment nearly a month before. She emailed and texted to keep us informed at all times. read more

Belle came to my daughter's 4th birthday, and My daughter was so engaged during the whole event. I could tell it was truly magical for her. It is an investment but seeing my daughters reaction made it worth it! read more
