From the very first inquiry to the follow-up message when your event is done, Kalinda and team will meet your every question attentively and promptly, and create a magical experience for all involved. 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...)! I have always felt so taken care of and know that when Wishing Well is involved, it's going to be a magical day for everyone.

Wow! What can I say besides we are so beyond and incredibly blown away by the wonderful experience…read morewe had with Wishing Well. My son had his very favorite hero Spidey surprise him for his 4th birthday and to say he was excited is an understatement. We so throughly enjoyed the very thoughtful games, stories and activities Spidey performed. He truly brought so much joy and laughter to the kiddos - I know they'll never forget such a special day. Wishing Well is a class-act, from first contact to pre-party check in, to day of - as someone who works in the industry and has very high expectations - I was blown away. Just thrilled with everything and I know we'll be customers for life!

Communication was super easy and efficient and Linda who answered my inquiry and handled the booking was super professional. The actor that came as Spider-Man was fully in character before he got here and was spot on with a quick FaceTime call ahead of time to surprise the birthday boy. He engaged quickly and effortlessly with all 10 ish kids and the adults as well. His spidey tricks and in-character performances had my 4yo son engaged and enamored the entire time. He played tag, hide and seek, danced and did balloon animals as well. He had a few opportunities to say some spidermanesque things to my son to really sell the character and nailed it every time. Lots of posed pictures as well. Absolutely 10/10 and I would book again. Thanks again Dream Makers!

The performers looked incredibly authentic and they truly brought the characters to life. They were energetic, engaging, and wonderful with the kids from start to finish. They led fun "Hunter" games that kept everyone entertained, did adorable face painting, and made every child feel included. The entire experience was seamless and professional, and it was the highlight of the party. If you're looking for high-quality character entertainment, I can't recommend Character Masters enough. We received so many compliments from our guests, and my daughter was thrilled. We'll definitely be hiring them again for future parties!

The entire process with Enchanted Characters was incredibly smooth from start to finish. It was so easy to inquire and book online, and I received a follow-up message almost immediately. They were very thorough and provided all the information I needed, so I barely even had any questions. The little times we did communicate, the response was almost immediate, which made me feel so confident that someone would actually show up to our party and on time! We had the lovely Faith come out as Cinderella for our daughter's third birthday, and she was truly the highlight of the whole party! She was such a beautiful Cinderella and played the character to a T. She did singing, dancing, storytelling, bubbles, and games and had all the kids participating and engaged the entire time. The kids absolutely loved her and said that was their favorite part of the party! My daughter had the biggest smile on her face and the loudest laugh throughout the whole performance, which made it all so worth it It was such a special experience for her third birthday, and I can't wait to reach out to these guys again for future parties!

From the moment they arrived, they stayed completely in character and had every child captivated.

Most importantly, they made our daughter feel like a real princess. Seeing the joy on her face all day was priceless - literally worth every penny. She truly had the best day of her life! If you're looking for entertainment that will make your child's birthday unforgettable, I wholeheartedly recommend Party Princess Productions OC & LA. Thank you, Elsa, Anna, Cinderella, and Ariel, for making our little girl's birthday so magical. We will absolutely be booking with you again!

My daughter and her friends are BEYOND DEVASTATED!! THEY NO SHOWED AND DIDNT CALL!!! I am…read moreinfuriated with this company and I actually think they're a scam. I originally spoke with charlotte back in May and decided to book with them for 2 princesses for my daughters 5th b day. She was so kind and I felt so good about them. She told me someone would contact me by Thursday of this week to go over details of the party. I paid the deposit of $300ish. Thursday comes around and nothing. I call the same number as before (949-558-2873 and 3106517226) and no one picks up and not only is the voicemail different now but the voicemail is full on both phone lines so I can't even leave a message! Charlotte finally emails me back Thursday with a very generic confirmation of time and place. I emailed her back a total of 4 times requesting a call so we can go over details and structure of the party like she had promised me back in May. Nothing. Day of the event- THEY NOT ONLY NO SHOW BUT THEY DONT EVEN CALL!!!! I was scrambling to figure out what to do with 15 kids and ended up having to improvise for 2.5 hours. How DARE they do this to kids??? I called their after hours line and of course it goes to the same BS number with the full mailbox so I can't even leave a message. I'm hoping someone will read this and learn from my mistake. I have NO idea how they have this many positive reviews. It's beyond me. They must pay for their reviews. I can't even get a hold of anyone to get a refund so I'm going to have to dispute the claims with my bank unfortunately. It's not even the money at this point, it's how evil they and careless they are and how excited my daughter was for the princesses. She kept looking out the window waiting for them to show. I hope they get their karma. Please please please stay away and maybe go with a reputable company you've heard of. I wish I had. I have attached a copy of my paid deposit and their confirmation so they can't respond and say they never booked with me like they did a different customer that I read about in one of the help reviews. I hope this helps someone.
