I think you get what you paid for with Dreamcharacters. They are on the cheaper side compared to…read moreother companies nearby and I think that's why their characters are alright. I hired Spiderman for my son's birthday party and although Tony(the manager) was very professional, the person who was in the Spiderman costume was not the best. He lacks some charisma and some energy. He played all the games requested on the booking but I expected more when it came to the "superhero training." All he did for that was bring out a nerf gun and had the kids take a turn shooting. Mind you, there were around 25 kids so it took a while and the kids were getting antsy just waiting in line. For the "dance party" party, his speaker was small and you couldn't even really hear the music so I let him use our big speaker. Not a big deal but you would think they would be more prepared. I was offered to pay extra for a grand entrance and present for the birthday boy and I'm glad I didn't because my son was still given a present and it was a small paint kit from the dollar tree. Booking process was really easy, but overall the service from the characters was not the best. Manager responded promptly and though Spiderman was not the best in my opinion, he showed up on time which was also professional on their side.

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.

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.

People are still talking about it! Character Masters continues to exceed our expectations every single time. Professional, entertaining, and unforgettable. We can't wait to book them again for our next party!

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.

When I reached out to them via Instagram, they made the process quick & simple to book our reservation. I had no issues with reserving, payment, or confirmation, it was all easy & fast. They did a great job with reaching out prior to the party to check in and confirm everything. Thankfully they had 1 last slot open on the date of the party and I'm so glad I booked it right away. Taylor was very welcoming & attentive not only to my daughter, but to all the other kids there. She looked beautiful, but her voice was incredible! I was in shock how identical she sounds to Ariel & even her singing was exactly the same my daughter was in awe! She was able to fit in story telling, a few games, singing happy birthday, and photos with all the guests all within an hour I was so impressed. My daughter was so happy & that was really the whole point, to make her smile & have her see her favorite Disney princess in real life on her special day. It was worth every penny & I wish we could do it all over again. Thank you so much Taylor & Enchanted Characters for a magical experience, we will definitely reach out to you again for any future celebrations!

If I ever decide to do another mascot costume, I'll very likely go back to Magic Dream.
