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.

Our family is so immensely grateful for the absolute utter magic Stephanie (Elsa) added to my…read moredaughter's 4th birthday party. We were all honestly in awe of her, just the most perfect Elsa we could have ever hoped for. My daughter is insanely particular and notices every single detail, so a part of me was afraid she'd think whoever came was most certainly not her true Elsa. But WOW Stephanie sold that Elsa magic so well--from the outfit to the makeup to her poise to her amazing singing voice. The joy my little girl felt all throughout her party and into today will be something our family will remember probably forever. Stephanie made her feel SO special, gave her such amazing care and attention, but also handled the other kiddos so beautifully. At least half the parents there begged me for the contact information for how we booked her. Thank you Stephanie for your professionalism, promptness, and everything you delivered on yesterday. We'll never forget it. Not to mention, Kalinda was very attentive through email during the booking process, and even while away in another country on vacation, she handled a last-minute performer swap wonderfully due to an emergency. She stayed in touched and made sure we were taken care of. 5-stars all the way.

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 Ninja Turtles looked unbelievably realistic and were a huge hit at my son's birthday party. We held the event at a public park, and as soon as the characters arrived, kids from all over the park started running toward our party because they were so excited to see them! It truly felt like the Ninja Turtles had come to life. My son and all of his friends were absolutely thrilled. The team had fun activities planned, kept the kids engaged, and never hesitated to pose for photos. They were energetic, patient, and wonderful with the children. The experience exceeded our expectations, and we couldn't have been happier with our decision to book them. In fact, several parents at the party asked for their information because they want to hire them for their own children's birthdays. Highly recommend!

Kids lost interest as she did not interact with them very much. We had spoke before as to what the characters were going to do and the only thing that was done was story time, meanwhile Ariel beforehand was able to get story time, face painting and a game done. Never got a call back from the manager for atleast an apology after my kids had high hopes for Elsa, if characters don't want to do their part don't ruin the kids imagination. Would not recommend.

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!

Magic Dream really came through giving me the miracle I desperately needed! Magic, indeed! I was also impressed at how affordable their rentals are (I rented chairs and a table), which was at least 1/4 of what I would've paid for to the other company. All-in-all: 10/10 for Magic Dream! Thank you, Magic Dream!

Did it bring joy to my kids and all the other kids who saw me on Halloween? You know it did. Oscar was straightforward, responsive, and incredibly kind. When I asked him to send a picture he did and the costume he rented me matched exactly what he sent. Moreover, the costume was clean, inside and out, and easy to transport and wear. If I ever decide to do another mascot costume, I'll very likely go back to Magic Dream.
