If you're wanting to book a character for a party, stop looking, this is the company to do it…read morethrough! We booked Elsa for a 5th birthday party, we had about 10 kids, most of which are princess obsessed. Our Elsa (Mikayla) checked in the evening before, and from the moment she got to the party she was on. They sang and danced and got their faces/arms painted, took pictures, she even read stories and lead the Happy Birthday song. She kept all of the kids engaged the whole time, it's such a great party because the parents can be safely hands off. Everyone had great things to say to her after the party, the magic my daughter felt through the whole thing was incredible. 10/10 I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Will 100% be sharing this company card with others and especially sharing such a gentleman Micah works for them. Royal you have a winner with Micah!!!

I rely heavily on reviews when choosing products and services, though I don't often leave them…read moremyself. In this case, however, I felt it was important to share our experience. Unfortunately, our experience with Epic Characters was very disappointing. The Grinch character we hired appeared unprepared and extremely awkward to the point we questioned whether he was under the influence of something. Most of the participation had to be prompted and encouraged by us. Although the performer brought an autograph photo pack, he did not sign or distribute the photos during the party and then left without taking the photo pack with him. The photos themselves prominently featured the company's website and phone number, which made them feel more like advertisements than keepsakes. To ensure the children still had something meaningful to take home, we cut off the advertisements and wrote notes on the photos ourselves. Additionally, the performer took out his cell phone during the party and left it visible, which drew attention from the children and disrupted the experience. The costume also appeared low quality, with noticeable gaps that broke character. Overall, the service lacked professionalism, preparation, and engagement. Given the cost, it did not meet reasonable expectations, and I would not recommend this company. For comparison, we have previously hired characters from Royal Entertainers and had consistently excellent experiences. Unfortunately, they did not have The Grinch available on this occasion, which is why we tried a different company.

We used Julie's party people for my daughter's fourth birthday. everything worked out pretty well…read more.. Julie was always very responsive on the phone with inquiries as well as scheduling / changes / payment etc .. also per my research Julie's rates for party characters were very competitive. Mickey / Minnie characters on the day of the party were a big hit ..they were quite patient and friendly with the kids. They did not watch the clock and offered to stay few more minutes for cake cutting. All in all very satisfied and highly recommend it.

Elmo was a big hit at our party. The kids loved him, and Elmo played games with the kids and took…read morepictures with everyone. Price was reasonable. Payment was fast and easy. Julie confirmed a few days before the party. She told me Elmo and the handler would be here a little before 5:00 PM. Elmo arrived at 4:00 PM not a problem. Just expected him at a different time. Only reason why Im giving 4 stars rather than 5 is because of the handler. She was a nice lady however a bit on the boring side, I asked for the handler to do balloon figures for the kids. But i think she needed more experience. Sooo many balloons popped before she could make something for the kids and all she could do was a sword and dog. Just expected a little more. Other than that , im happy with our experience.

Lindsey was so great at communicating with, despite me being a busy single Mom and taking a bit to reply. The whole team was so helpful and great to work with. We booked Blippi, which was not easy to find, and the actor was absolutely amazing! Shoutout to Joaquin!!! He called me the night before to get more information on Cali Rose, the b-day girl, and what was planned so he would deliver the best for us, as well as my request of letting me know when he was arriving to get video and pictures. Cali has albinism which makes it difficult for her to see and navigate in the sun and bright light, so Joaquin made sure to have her not facing the sun during the games or interacting. All of the kids loved having Joaquin there (even those that didn't know who Blippi was) and made my job of wondering how to entertain 12 kids for 3 hours much easier! We originally planned on 1.5 hours but, couldn't stop the fun so ended up extended it another 1.5 hours. Joaquin never stopped being Blippi for a minute and entertaining the kids. He made sure to focus on Cali Rose but also included all of her friends and family. With Cali Rose and her family being bilingual (English and Spanish) it was an amazing surprise to learn he knew some of the traditional birthday songs for the Piñata and Happy Birthday! Cali Rose, her family and friends kids have not stopped talking about and dancing to the songs at the party since! We truly were blessed to find The Princess Party with a great team of admins and actors! Book your next party with them, you will NOT be disappointed!

The communication was great at the beginning. We booked two people, one entertainer and one balloon…read moreartist. I received a few different calls to confirm the party so everything seemed on track. On the day of the party, the balloon artist showed up without the character. Our character made a mistake and had her parties mixed up so she was over an hour late. The balloon artist kind of just walked around and made balloon animals for the kids but it was awkward with no character. Since our character was so late, some kids had to leave when she was just arriving. We were building up the anticipation but by then we discovered it would be well over another hour, so the kids got in the pool instead and were well into playing and not really into the entertaining by the time the character did arrive. Overall the character was great once the kids heard her singing. Balloon artist was kind of a waste of money since it was a little awkward having someone walk around making balloons without the entertainer. Kind of a bummer it played out that way. Mistakes do happen but no one even reached out to explain anything, I just received an invoice to pay with a slight discount which I still paid.

She did an incredible comedy magic show that had all of the kids completely engaged from beginning to end. There was nonstop laughter, excitement, and so many smiles. Her balloon twisting was also a huge hit! What impressed us most was how well she connected with the kids while keeping everyone entertained. Even the adults found themselves laughing and enjoying the show. She brought such a fun, positive energy that made our celebration even more memorable. If you're looking for someone who is professional, talented, and amazing with children, I highly recommend Sparkles the Clown. She exceeded all of our expectations, and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again for a future event!

Michelle was easy to coordinate with, and set up and clean up was a total breeze thanks to Michelle and her team, allowing us to fully enjoy the celebration with our friends and family.
