I first posted about Ideas Alive (formerly Party Princess Rentals) back in 2017 after my son's Star…read moreWars themed 4th birthday (fun fact - they were my first Yelp review ever, they were that good!). Now here I am again 9 years later and after my daughter's 6th birthday, and I am still singing their praises. The staff at Ideas alive is top notch - friendly, responsive, helpful. But it's truly the actors/actresses who are incredible! They have the ability to bring characters to life and create magical, memorable parties. This time around we hired an Ariel - she was STUNNING. She was so sweet and genuinely magical. Every single girl fell in love with her. From the dancing to the story time and face painting and the photo ops, everything was absolutely perfect. I especially loved how she didn't hesitate to jump in and on the trampoline with all the littles. I absolutely adored her and would recommend her in a heart beat, any time. Ideas Alive - thank you for continuing to create these special memories. You guys really are the best!!!

My daughter LOVED Ariel and is already talking about which princess she wants to come next year. Ariel was everything you could hope for: sweet, professional, beautiful, and perfectly prepared. It was an incredibly hot day, yet she stayed calm, graceful, and in character the entire time. She improvised beautifully when needed and made every child feel special. Truly a total pro. Thank you so much for helping make my daughter's birthday party so magical and unforgettable. We'll definitely be hiring another princess next year!

We will definitely be reaching out to work with her again.

We hired Fairy Magic for my Daughter's 6th birthday party. We hired magicians (Nate Jester, Xakary)…read morein the past and Fairy Magic does not compare. She does do encouragement and make believe play/magic for the kids but I would say this is great for younger kids under 5 years old. There was a bearded dragon in the show but the kids were not allowed to pet it. The face painting and balloons were fun additions but did not keep all kids engaged enough as they had to wait in line. I just don't think the entertainment was a good fit for what we were looking for.

Elsa from Once Upon a Party came to my daughter's 5th birthday party back in August. I still…read moreremember how they met. My little Anna stepped on a bee. Elsa arrived just in time and comforted her! Queen Elsa told her that she had stepped on a bee before too. Elsa then picked up Anna and carried her all around the party. Once Upon a Party had some super fun things planned. Elsa and her Royal assistant then read stories, painted faces, sang songs, talked about Olaf :) .It was really cute! I have to mention that she participated in other activities that we had planned as well. She played with the kids during the sled races, sang" happy birthday" to the birthday girl, and played pin the nose on Olaf. Then, at the end of the party Autographs were signed and handed out. Elsa's costume was amazing! She was super sweet, fun, and stayed in character the whole time! It was affordable too, which is a huge plus! Here it is NOVEMBER, and my daughter is STILL talking about her party. She asked if next year Elsa can come back and bring her sister Anna too!
